A brief look at amazon suggests that I could (assuming correct comprehension!) create a linux web server virtual image and export to amazon to host and make public, free for a year. It is during the creation of the linux web server image that the necessary xquery server software can be installed. > Convincing budget low end web hosting providers to provide it may take a > while if ever. I don't understand this (being ignorant of the web host market, admittedly). If a gnu gpl xquery server software exists why would they be reluctant to add this to their service if a customer demands and pays for it? > > As Michael Key said so elegantly, I will paraphrase, if your #1 issue is > cost, ride the bus. Or walk for that matter. > Consider the question of cost as being "devil's advocate"; it seems that the price of using xquery is at least 3x a more prevalent sql & server script system, but of course there's more to decision making than "ticket price" comparisons...Anyway this has proven to be a useful discussion and fascinating to learn that amazon is more than a mere book-seller! _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://x-query.com/mailman/listinfo/talk
