SQL Server 2005 XML Integration

With the release of SQL Server 2005, XML support just got better and SQL Server 2005 provides powerful
XML query and data modification capabilities over XML data. To start with, I introduce the new XML
features of SQL Server 2005 including the FOR XML clause enhancements, XQuery support, and the
XML data type. Then I go on to discuss the execution of FOR XML queries from within ADO.NET both
synchronously and asynchronously. I also discuss the steps involved in working with typed and
untyped XML data type columns. Finally, I illustrate how to retrieve XSD schemas from a typed column
using ADO.NET and also focus on MARS and OPENXML() functions.
