thanks for your question. I have to admit I’m not the best .NET expert, and I believe your actual problem is not specific to XML but about using managed assemblies with DB2 in general. I would recommend that you post your question in the DB2 .NET forum at the following URL:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=467
That’s were .NET specialists can help you, and they can help much better than I can.
Try to provide as much detail as possible when you post your inquiry in the forum.

Thanks,

Matthias

The information which iam try to manage is dynamically changing as am still in developing process. I think using xml as the data column for this information would make it easy for me to expand the structure at any time during the process. I am using ASP.NET MVC3 and I have decided to use DB2 for xml data mangement instead of using MS sql server 2008, in the given situation, i can not have my manage objects loaded in server and executed.. as DB2 would not support CLR assembly to be loaded in it… am I right?

Is there any alternate solution, which would allow me it use the managed assembly in the DB2 and execute the managed store procedures.

Please suggest me ASAP.

thank you,

for starters there is quite some free material on the web. As just one example, http://www.w3schools.com offers a variety of introductory tutorials on various XML topics:

http://www.w3schools.com/
http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_whatis.asp
http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/default.asp
http://www.w3schools.com/xquery/default.asp

And you’ll also find many other online tutorials.

As for books, different people like different styles and types of books, so there isn’t a single best recommendation. You may want to check out the following popular XML books:

“XML in a Nutshell”, 3rd Edition, by Elliotte Rusty Harold and Scott Means (O’Reilly,ISBN 0-596-00764-7)

“Beginning XML”, 4th Edition, by David Hunter et al. (Wrox, ISBN 0-470-11487-8)

“Professional XML”, by Bill Evjen et al. (Wrox, ISBN 0-471-77777-3)

There are also books specifically on XPath and XQuery, such as “XQuery from the Experts: A Guide to the W3C XML Query Language“, written by Don Chamberlin and others.

The DB2 pureXML Cookbook also contains detailed coverage of XPath, XQuery, SQL/XML, and XQuery Updates, with hundreds of examples that range from very basic to intermediate and advanced statements.

Happy Reading!
