What's New in This Release:
The new grid editor allows you to edit repetitive XML content in a special layout similar to a spreadsheet application, without the need to interact with the markup.
Using the new Database perspective you can browse tables or collections from databases, execute XQuery or SQL queries, inspect or modify data, specify XML Schemas for the XML fields and collections.
The database support includes many of the popular servers, operating either as native XML storage (Tamino, XHive, MarkLogic, TigerLogic, eXist, Berkeley) or mixed, as relational and XML at the same time (DB2, SQLServer, Oracle).
