Yukon XML Features

Don’t get me wrong, I like XML. Yukon has so many awesome XML features I can’t even absorb it all. I have been focusing on XQuery since beta 1, but there are many more things to work with.

For starters there is a native XML data type. You can also use Full Text Indexing on top of the XML datatype and use the full text query as a filter or a XQuery statement.

The coolest thing that I saw was the XML Schema validation of the XML Datatype, so if you try to insert data into the XML field and it violates the XSD, it will bomb.

Good stuff, stay tuned for more as we write the book….
