FFE Software is pleased to announce the beta availability of SQLfX (SQL for XML). SQLfX is a brand new paradigm for database access to XML. It uses the [often unrecognized] hierarchical operations built into SQL92 to bring power and scalability to XML query and manipulation. SQLfX is a next generation alternative to complex navigational facilities like XQuery, XPath and XSLT.

FFE worked with Advanced Data Access Technologies, Inc. to implement a beta middleware version of SQLfX with a GUI front-end. The SQLfX Beta is available for free download and evaluation at their site: SQLfX Beta.
