XQuery Language Version Support

Oracle Data Service Integrator supports the XQuery language as specified in XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language, W3C Working Draft of July, 23, 2004. You can use any feature of the language described by the specification.

Oracle Data Service Integrator supplements the base XQuery syntax with a set of elements and directives that appear in Source View as pragmas. Pragmas are a standard XQuery feature that give implementors and vendors a way to include custom elements and directives within XQuery code.

The Oracle implementation of XQuery also contains some extensions to the language and additional functions. Oracle extensions to XQuery and links to W3C documentation are described in the XQuery and XQSE Developer's Guide.
