XSLT and the SQLCLR
Apress eBooks · 2008
So far I’ve covered quite a lot of ground discussing native SQL Server 2008 XML functionality. However, there are some things that aren’t covered by the native Transact SQL (T-SQL) and xml data type enhancements in SQL Server. Using Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) functionality is one area where you have to go outside of the built-in T-SQL functionality and access the .NET functionality available through the SQLCLR (SQL Common Language Runtime).
