XML Support in SQL Server 2005 has no dependency on http.sys

  • Article

A recent blog post claimed that the native XML support in SQL Server 2005 has a dependency on http.sys and thus is only available on Win 2003 Server or Win XP/SP2.

This is incorrect. XML has no such dependency and should be available on all platforms where SQL Server 2005 is supported.

Only the HTTP/SOAP component has such a dependency.

    See if the update is a little more accurate. :-)

    Thanks for the update.

    The wording in the README is a bit misleading but correct.

    The title talks about NATIVE XML SUPPORT, but the section you are quoting talks about the NATIVE HTTP SUPPORT (which has nothing to do with the XML datatype).
