Book Description
The Definitive Guide to Berkeley DB XML covers Sleepycat's Berkeley DB XML, an open source embedded XML database. Berkeley DB XML runs on all major operating systems and has support for the most popular
programming languages. The book includes tutorials and complete language references for C++, Java, Perl, Python, and PHP.
Berkeley DB XML has the potential to dramatically simplify the development of your application's data tier. With native XML storage, flexible indexing, and the powerful XQuery query language (think SQL for XML), BDB XML provides everything you need for efficient XML management. Combined with Berkeley DB's transactions, logging, and replication, BDB XML is a powerful document storage solution.
Author Danny Brian presents XML basics from the ground up for XML beginners, and covers database installation and configuration, the core concepts behind Berkeley DB XML, a look at application architecture, demonstrations of simple operations (i.e., text queries) to complex (i.e., set computations) using XQuery and FLWOR expressions, document indexing options, and a thorough look at the database APIs. You'll learn tips and tricks that you can immediately apply to your own applications.

Reader Reviews
Danny Brian writes in a very straight forward and very easy to understand method. The book works well as a training tool and has a resource for anything you could ever want to know on XQuery and Berkeley DB. Finally someone compiled the information on XQuery and put it in one easy to use resource as an appendix (Book is worth it just for this!). Book also has a great appendix for people just starting out in XML or even if you just need to brush up on your XML syntax. Even if you are not interested in Berkeley DB you will be by the time you read this!
