Other XML topics are described in these chapters:
Chapter 7, “Selecting Data with XQL,” describes how to select raw data from Adaptive Server using the XQL language and displaying it as an XML document.

Chapter 9, “XML for SQL Result Sets,” describes the ResultSetXML class, which allows you to generate an XML document representing a SQL result set, and to access and update such an XML document.
