Description

XML has been integrated into SQL Server 2008 R2 so that XML data can be stored within databases using the XML data type. You can query this data using the XQuery language within the XML data type methods. SQL Server 2008 R2 also provides support for using FOR XML to extract relational data from a database in XML format and the use of OPENXML to generate relational views from XML. This course demonstrates how to use the xml data type, XML schema collations, and how to create XML indexes. It also explores how to retrieve data using FOR XML, process XML data using OPENXML, and how to query data using the XQuery language. This course is one of a series in the Algeo learning path that covers the objectives for the Microsoft exam: 70-433 TS: Microsoft SQL Server 2008, Database Development. Passing this exam will earn the learner Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS): SQL Server 2008, Database Development certification.
