----------------------------------------------------------- From: Rlabh Message 7 in Discussion Thanks for the reply vinod. I was going through some of the old threads on SQLXML and got confused with the saju's reply that Oracle supports SQLXML and wanted to know upto what extent it supports. Not sure what saju meant by 'Oracle also supports' in his reply !!! What I can understand from your reply is that SQLXML does not support Oracle and I am also of the same view and we will have to look for other capabilities to support multiple database. BTW, I have an application done through SQLXML using updategrams and client now wants to support Oracle, what will be the best approach you feel in this scenario. Let me know your views on this. Thanks in advance.

And having said that the features in store were in line for them only. Esp. the ones that you have mentioned like updategrams and diffgrams. Even for a simple matter of fact the normal configuration screen in IIS allows access to SQL Server only. Did I get closer to your question ... And such requests have been heard and from SQLXML 3.0 version there are other capabilities that allow us to query different Datasources also. But now that is only at the programming skill level. You can use the "Client-side XML" formatting and query any datasource (eg Oracle) and format them as XML at the client by recieving row-sets from the provider. So surely the technology is catching the market and more interoperability have been provided. But understand they are primarily very effective for SQL Server for sure ...
