RE: DB2XML was -> RE: Arrays of Structures as a parameter in V5R1

["Bartell, Aaron L. (TC)" <ALBartell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmmm . . . I guess I didn't read up on that product enough.  I thought it
just did the storage of XML documents.  I went to a IBM Tech session about 2
years ago in the Rochester Labs and they did a high level presentation on
it, but the didn't mention any functionality that would do as the site
suggests.

After doing some more research I am thinking that a tool like I am proposing
still has validity.  I am basing that on what appears to be IBM's method of
retrieving DB2 data into XML found at this link
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r1/ic2924/books/c2711720.pdf page
184 through 191.

Anybody know what they are charging for that product?  I tried to find it on
IBM's site but gave up after 10 minutes.

Maybe it would be better to name my tool dbToxml:-)  That way it wouldn't be
implying only DB2 databases could be queried for result sets.

Aaron,

IBM delivered an XML Extender for DB2 quite some time ago. It might be
worth your while to familiarize yourself with it:
