What is the IBM Informix XSLT DataBlade?
The IBM Informix XSLT DataBlade module creates new SQL functions (which are called user-defined routines (UDRs)) that allow transformation of documents from one format to another using XSLT style sheets and libxslt (the Gnome C XSLT library).
How does it work?
The first release of the IBM Informix XSLT DataBlade, Version 1.0, supports the storing of XSLT style sheets and documents in the built-in Informix LVARCHAR and CLOB data types. It also supports the IBM Informix Web DataBlade HTML data type.
The IBM Informix XSLT DataBlade includes the following:
- an installation bundle that creates the XSLT DataBlade module's SQL functions and includes a dynamic library that the Informix server uses when those functions are executed
- SQL and ESQL/C examples
- xsltproc, the Gnome command-line program that transforms a document, given an XSLT style sheet; the SQL functions created by the XSLT DataBlade module work as does xsltproc.
- xmllint, the Gnome command-line program that validates XML documents.
