A tutorial for using SiXDML in Xindice is now available at http://www.25hoursaday.com/sixdml/sixdml-xindice-tutorial.html
If you are unaware of SiXDML and what it can do for you as an XML database user then what follows is a brief overview of the language commonly described as "SQL for XML databases" SiXDML is designed to be easily understood by programmers and non-programmers alike, internet-aware, and combine a minimum of complexity with a maximum of functionality while being straight-forward to implement. SiXDML aims to plug the hole that currently exists for a data manipulation language that allows one to query and update XML documents while also providing a means to perform database management activities such as creating and deleting collections. Although numerous query languages exist for XML including Lorel, Quilt, UnQL, XDuce, XML-QL, XPath, XQL, XQuery and YaTL yet no popularly accepted XML query language possesses data manipulation semantics such as DELETE, REPLACE and INSERT that exist in a relational data manipulation language like SQL or a hierarchical data manipulation language like DL/I.
