X-Hive Corporation - Products - The fastest and most scalable XML database powered by open standards

XQuery: Implement the current W3C XQuery Update Syntax working draft. The implementation should conform to the version from 2007-08-28, available at http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-xquery-update-10-20070828/. As this recommendation is in a very early stage, substantial changes to the standard and our own implementation have to be expected.
XQuery: Implemented the W3C XQuery Update statement placement rules. Update statements (update expressions like "do delete" and functions that perform updates) are now only allowed on the main execution branch of the Query, see the manual for more details.
XQuery: Added a new Java extension mechanism to XQuery. Java modules can now be implemented as plain Java code and imported by specifying the fully qualified class name.
Full Text Search:Full text phrase searches can now use terms with wildcards
Full Text Search: Implemented efficient leading wildcard searches (i.e. "*pattern") on full text indexes. See the option "FTI_LEADING_WILDCARD_SEARCH" in the "Full Text Indexes" section of the manual.
Full Text Search: At a full text search, you can now specify which is the implicit conjunction to be used, either using xhive:fts-implicit-conjunction or Settings.
Full Text Search: Implemented support for full-text fields in path value indexes.
Versioning: Allow metadata of versions to be set through the setValue() method.
Versioning: Metadata of old versions can now be changed using the map returned by XhiveVersionIf.getMetadata().
Performance: Many improvements e.g. improved cache page replacement algorithm
Ant Tasks:The X-Hive/DB ant tasks (previously a separately downloadable package) have now been integrated with the core distribution.
Ant Tasks: New ant tasks added: listindexes, renamedatabase, copydatabase, registerreplicator, unregisterreplicator, replicatefederation.
