Sql Server 2000 has several key features right out of the box that enable support for XML. Combining these features with ADO.NET and the XML Framework classes provide a broad range of options for working with data, which simplifies data access over the web.
In addition to the XML support that an out-of-the-box installation of SQL Server provides, Microsoft has also released SQLXML 3.0, a service pack to SQL Server that provides additional features to those already present in SQL Server 2000. The installation executable can be obtained from www.microsoft.com/sqlserver.
The first portion of this chapter deals with XML support in a base installment of SQL Server 2000. The additional features SQLXML 3.0 adds is covered later in this chapter.
