XML Global Technologies, Inc. announced it has completed a software add-on to goXML version 2.0 that will allow arbitrary tables from any ODBC/JDBC compliant database to be indexed by goXML. GoXML is a context-based XML search system which easily and securely accepts and delivers XML based content in- house and via the Internet. The new software add-on will allow goXML to act as a broker to various relational database management systems and legacy data sources. Included with this add-on is a web conduit which permits the RDBMS/legacy data that has been indexed into a goXML index to later be accessed from source, thus ensuring only the most up-to-date information is delivered to clients. Examples of databases supported by goXML and the software add on are Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft FoxPro, dBase, xBase, Oracle, DB2, Sybase, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Informix, Pervasive SQL, Adabas and CSV. www.xmlglobal.com
