Stylus Studio Among "Exceptional" XML and Web Services Tools, XSLT Mapper and SQL/XML COonnectivity Earn High Marks, eWEEK ReportsBedford, Mass. — March 8, 2004 —-eWEEK Labs Director Jim Rapoza recently conducted an in-depth technical review of Sonic Stylus Studio 5.1, a leading XML Integrated Development Environment (IDE), and affirmed its standing among the few "Exceptional" XML and Web Services Tools available in the market, citing advanced relational database to XML connectivity and powerful XSLT mapping features. The complete review appeared in the February 4, 2004 issue of eWeek, available at http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,4149,1518622,00.asp. Stylus Studio 5.1 Offers Database Connectivity Using SQL/XMLOne of the powerful new features in Version 5.1 is the DB-to-XML Data Source Editor. By leveraging the new SQL/XML standard, Stylus Studio users can now directly connect to any database and use that data as XML. The DB-to-XML Data Source feature also makes it possible to perform complex XQuery statements across databases and XML sources. Stylus Studio also supports visual generation of SELECT and UPDATE statements for relational databases using the SQL/XML standard. Supported relational databases include Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, and Sybase. Enhanced XSLT Editor Wins PraiseStylus Studio is widely accepted as being the most advanced XSLT development tool on the market, providing features such as XSLT editing, mapping, profiling, and debugging. In keeping with this tradition of excellence, eWeek declared: "While we've always thought the mapper in Stylus Studio was good, it has seen some nice improvements in this Version 5.1." By using Stylus Studio to generate XSLT for XML-to-HTML transformations with the ability to directly access relational data through SQL/XML, IT managers can now dramatically reduce the effort required to aggregate and transform data for web-based distribution and reporting.
