Definition

Xquery is a query language that uses the structure of XML intelligently can express queries across all these kinds of data, whether physically stored in XML or viewed as XML via middleware. In other words, you can use it to retrieve things from files, from XML representations made from SQL databases, from native XML databases like exists. In addition, Xquery is quite a real programming language. XUpdate is a protocol to updated (XQuery can't). XML Databases are servers in which can plug XML "as is" and get it back with Xquery and/or XSLT.
