But if you think SQL is incomprehensible, take a gander at what you have to do
with these (above) implementations to get XML out ....<br>

Give me pure XQuery any day :)<br>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I had heard that future versions
of the SQL standard are to bring XML in to SQL -- basically make non-validated
XML nodes as valid column types and add intra-XML indexing. This was quite a
while ago that I heard it, but it was delivered by a reputable source. Seems
like these two language have huge overlap and can eventually be replaced by a
single query language.<br>
<br>
(Besides, SQL is so incomprehensible for even modestly-sized queries, it would
be great to replace it with something a bit more understandable such as XQuery;
not to mention the legions of vendor specifics and incompatibilities...)<br>

Another option, eXist, provides a XQuery Extenesion module for SQL<br>
connections and queries. I would like to see the concepts from there<br>
eventually it into the EXPath/EXQuery efforts<br>
