ANN: XQX -- XML SQL to XML

Hi,

ConnectTel is pleased to announce the release of XQX Version 1.0-Beta.

XQX is a XML interface to relational databases. It allows access to Relational Databases using a XML interface.

XQX is an innovative product which enables enterprises to make their data accessible, in an easy and effective manner. With the power of XQX, enterprises can allow their business partners, sales/field personnel, to retrieve data and deliver that information to a variety of end point devices.

XQX retrieves data from a relational database and transforms the result into a XML format. The output XML data can then be transformed once again (with the power of XSL), as dictated by the end point device ( web browser, cell phone, PDA, or other wireless device) requirements. This allows appropriate display of data - to the user). The data itself can also remain
unchanged, and because it is raw XML, it can be - delivered to any SOAP aware
device to be handled directly on it.

• XQX has two modes of operation:

Remote: In this mode XQX operates as a web service that provides a SOAP/HTTP/XML interface to a variety of relational databases.

Direct: Here XQX operates like a library ( DLL/SO ) that can be called to access a variety of relational databases using COM/DLL on Windows or a shared library on Linux.

Relational Databases supported:

+ MS SQL Server
+ Oracle
+ DB2
+ InterBace
+ Sybase
+ Informix,
+ MySQL
+ PostgreSQL
+ ODBC ( windows + linux )
+ Centura (formerly Gupta) SQLBase

Platforms:

+ Windows
+ Linux

Some examples are available, including an ASP.NET application that that was originaly developed using SQLXML 3.0, and has been updated to replace SQLXML with the XQX access layer.

Examples using .NET, VB 6.0 and SOAP are available.
