MySQL UDF Repository lib_mysqludf_xql ----------------------- The lib_mysqludf_xql library provides an array of functions, which can be used to create XML output directly from MySQL using a single SQL query. This prevents having to convert a MySQL result to XML in a PHP script, Ruby script, etc. This improves performance and simplifies your code. The library provides the same functionality as SQL/XML, seen in MS SQL server and Oracle. However it uses normal functions. By using subqueries the same results as SQL/XML can be generated. lib_mysqludf_xql uses the xmlwriter library of libxml2, which is a superfast non-cached, forward-only generator of XML data. This library automaticly escapes XML entities and dynamicly allocated memory as the XML content grows. For information about using this library, please see API ----------------------- To build: ./configure make && make install To then load the functions: mysql -u root -p < installdb.sql To remove the library from your system: mysql -u root -p < uninstalldb.sql make uninstall
