This class makes it very easy, almost trivial, to convert SQL query results into XML, but a major disadvantage of OracleXMLQuery is that it is a proprietary solution.

Currently, XML rivals HTTP, HTML, and SQL as one of the big hits on the top 10 chart of information management standards.

Even better, these examples show how to pass XML data to stored procedures, and how they can be made to read single or multiple sets of criteria easily, using only a few lines of TSQL.
