RE: pl/sql is INTERPRETED? : the XML sub-thread

Hee hee.
XML making DBAs redundant.

Sorry Mark, I know that's not what you said but I'm DBAing for an XML-based project at the minute and I've rarely been busier. For example, the latest version of the XDK (which Technet encourages you to download NOW!) doesn't include the files you need to run it with 8i databases despite including instructions on how to do it. Never mind the quality, feel the hype.

Mind you, when it's working it does the job well enough.

Cheers,
Mike

XML = Extensible Markup Language, which is actually a subset of SGML ;P
(Standard Generalised Markup Language)

It allows a web type developer to create their own "user defined" tags, that web applications can then pass data to other background applications to handle - once the background app has been programmed to handle the XML tags appropriately.. Not something that is going to make a DBA redundant in my view..
