The LINQ between XML and databases: a gentle introduction
Suzanne Wagner Dietrich, Mahesh B Chaudhari · Journal of computing sciences in colleges · 2010
The Language INtegrated Query (LINQ) provides a unified paradigm for querying relations and XML. LINQ's query comprehension syntax is SQL-like and provides a natural pathway for students to use to explore the XML and database connection. This paper describes a suite of exercises for using LINQ to query a relational database returning XML results, to query XML, and to transform the structure of one XML document to another.
