The DataDirect Connect for ODBC XML driver (the XML driver) supports:
Tabular- and hierarchical-formatted XML documents that can be accessed from either a local file system, a web server, or a web service. The three main types of tabular-formatted files that the driver supports are Microsoft Data Islands, ADO 2.5 persisted files, and DataDirect Format.
The XML driver includes a SQL Engine that provides ANSI SQL-92 support. The following table lists the SQL statements that the driver supports for the different types of file formats.
