Transforming documents with XSLT functions

Apply XSL stylesheets and transforms to XML documents.

Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) uses XML elements to describe the format of a document. You can use the XSLT functions that HCL® OneDB® provides to apply XSL transformations (XSLT) to XML documents, resulting in a document in a different XML schema, HTML, PDF, or any defined type. XSL and XSLT are standards defined by the World Wide Web Consortium, which you can find at http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt.

HCL OneDB supports the XSLT version 1.0 standard for style sheets and uses the Xalan XSLT processor and the Xerces Java™ parser.

The documents take arguments of an XML file and a stylesheet. The output is a new document whose type is determined by the XSLT transform. The input arguments can be lvarchar, clob, or blob.
