Hello all,
question 1: the documentation is very unclear as to 'what' transquery
is......pls excuse my ignorance but could i have a .02 euro tranform of the
following paragraph taken from the spec into neanderthal speak.
'TransQuery comprises a small, flexible set of XSLT conventions and
processing model constraints that enable the use of XSLT as a query language
over multiple XML documents.TransQuery comprises a small, flexible set of
XSLT conventions and processing model constraints that enable the use of
XSLT as a query language over multiple XML documents.'
i quess i need to 'see' things
question 2: correct the following statement
Transquery is formally constructed XSLT that will comprise a rigorous method
of querying data, in other words XSLT is probably abused today as it is
being used in certain data querying situations where XQuery should be
employed.
or
Transquery is a processor of some sort, as attributed to the java code up at
sorceforge now.... which of course makes more sense.
in any event, the idea of a migration or in between solution from XSLT to
XQuery is interesting
cheers, jim fuller
