Hi! there,

Does Tamino supoort the reverse process of X-Node functionality. What I meen is, Can I issue a SQL select statement to tamino database?, well does Tamino support such a situtation?.

Anything regard with the SQL Engine, that is present within the Tamio XML Server.

Thanks in Advance,
Ravi

You can only query using XPath syntax for data within the XML data store, and likewise you can only issue SQL againest the SQL data store.

X-Node allows other data stores to be mapped as XML so querying X-Node mapped schema (say mapped to an SQL table) will return XML.

There is no opposite functionality, e.g. issusing SQL to get at XML data. If this is a requirement I would suggest as a possibility to store your data as SQL and use SQL to access it. Then use X-Node mapping to get the data as XML. Then you have the best of both worlds.
