There are varying degrees of support for XML in different Internet browsers. In general the latest versions of Internet Explorer or Netscape will do nicely . Using an older version of a software tool can sometimes be asking for trouble.
Using a non-mainstream browser might also be limited in scope but this is unlikely if you use the latest version. There are, however, some very specific technologies used by specific vendors . Microsofts Internet Explorer falls into this category. Then again, Internet Explorer is probably now the most widely used browser. So, for browser-based examples, Ive used Microsoft technology.
Database technology being used in this book will primarily be Oracle Database from Oracle Corporation and SQL-Server Database from Microsoft. Once again, bear in mind that the focus of this book is on using XML as a database, or in other databases.
