Impressive! When googled "Bill of materials XQuery", however, the first entry is 3 pages of spaghetty code in XSLT: http://forums.tamino.com/3/OpenTopic?a=tpc&f=7922934291&m=656106161" Try to beat that!
Now, every other google reference on that page claims that Bill of materials extremely easy to do in XML. Which bill of materials? Finding all the descendants? Perhaps. The question is if query ability scales up so something little more complicated than that. Finding aggrergated cost of all the subparts, for example. Received on Fri Jan 14 2005 - 19:13:12 CET
