Selection Query Language
Selection Query (or short, SQ-XML) is a proprietary language based
on XML that allows you to query data and export entities (fields,
relations, etc) exposed in the Data Model of the product(s) used by
your organization. The FindService
Web service uses
this XML syntax and is exposed by all Taleo products. The Building
Export Queries using Selection Query (SQ-XML) section of this document
provides an overview of that syntax. A complete documentation of the
SQ-XML can be downloaded separately. If you do not have access to
these documents, contact your Customer Representative.
The SQ-XML schema is part of the FindService WSDL File and documents each element and attribute that is part of the schema (see Step 4: Import the WSDL File Into Your Development Platform for detailed instructions). If your SOAP Development Platform or XML Editor supports WSDL and XSD auto-completion, you can get each element and attribute of the Schema associated to the SQ-XML online-documented. Commercial solutions like XML Spy (www.altova.com), Stylus Studio (www.stylusstudio.com) or oXygen (www.oxygenxml.com) provide such an auto-completion feature.
