Oracle9i Xml Handbook

Maximize XML-enabled Oracle9i.

Create and deploy cross-platform, transaction-based applications on Oracle9i with XML--the industry standard for describing data for e-business application integration and business-to-business exchanges. Written by members of the Oracle XML Development Team, this insider's resource explains how to take full advantage of the Oracle XML Developer Kit (XDK) to build, manipulate, transform, and view XML documents. You'll also learn from real-world case studies illustrating how Oracle customers make the most of the built-in XML-enabled features.
