SQLfX (SQL for XML) is the first totally transparent and seamless integration of native XML by ANSI SQL. It requires no use of XML-centric syntax or procedural nesting of functions, XML training or knowledge of the hierarchical structures being processed in order to use. Its nonprocedural and navigationless operation along with its dynamic hierarchical optimization allows data value enhancing multi-leg queries to be easily specified and processed using global SQL hierarchical views without any additional overhead. All data access is limited only to the hierarchical paths required to reach needed data for the current query.
SQLfX earns its Web2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 status by automatically operating at a full interactive hierarchical processing level performing advanced hierarchical operations. These include powerful heterogeneous hierarchical data mashups and any-to-any structure transformations specified intuitively at a high hierarchical conceptual level directly in ANSI SQL. Hierarchical processing principles are naturally followed and always produce correct hierarchical results. The advanced capabilities mentioned in this press release are not available anywhere else today and extend far beyond the limited linear scope of current XML hierarchical processing.
SQLfX is a middleware product that leverages an off-the-shelf standard ANSI SQL processor as its hierarchical structure engine. This is possible because ANSI SQL processors inherently have the capability to perform hierarchical processing. SQLfX's patented technology seamlessly extends this natural and inherent hierarchical processing to XML. This has significant advantages for ease of use, reducing training and risk, and increasing customer ROI. Our free downloadable Beta version comes complete with its own unmodified FirstSQL Java SQL processor that it uses as a hierarchical processing engine.
The downloadable SQLfX beta comes in a powerful interactive immediate response automatically formated structured XML display mode to visually demonstrate its powerful hierarchical operations. This is also very useful for decision support because of its flexible multi-leg global view support. Our forthcoming first release will also be able to be used as an API DB interface with standard procedural and nonprocedural relational and XML interfaces and will utilize your own already in place SQL processor as its hierarchical processing engine.
