Intended for both novice and experienced SQL users, this work focuses on the language's capabilities, from the basic to the advanced, and the ways that real applications take advantage of them. It illustrates features and techniques with references to their own custom database, which can be downloaded from the companion Web site.

Helps managers and project leaders grasp how 'querying XML' fits into the larger context of querying and XML. This book provides a background from fundamental concepts (What is XML?) to data models (the Infoset, PSVI, XQuery Data Model), to APIs (querying XML from SQL or Java), and more.

Discusses and illustrates how to solve real problems using the Java Data Mining API. This book provides a data mining introduction - an overview of data mining and the problems it can address across industries. It also discusses JDM's place in strategic solutions to data mining-related problems.

Addresses the realities of successful sites. This book aims to provide the reader with the knowledge, tools, approaches, and processes to manage key site maintenance and evolution projects. It describes content management & customer relationship management and how to go about implementing them.

Describes the challenges of using XML in a manner that promotes simplification of integration, and a high degree of schema reuse.
