SQL Server 2000 Introduces XML Features

SQL Server 2000 introduces several features for querying database tables and receiving the results as an XML document. Updategrams, a feature that was missing from the SQL Server 2000 Beta 2 release, has the ability to express changes to an XML document as database inserts, updates, and deletes. The feature is now available for download. The updategrams feature is compatible only with SQL Server 2000 Beta 2; installing this release on any other version of SQL Server 2000 will disable SQL Server functions. Updategrams is not a released product and should not be fully deployed in a production environment because features and functionality may change before the product is released in mid-October 2000.
