Shawn Wildermuth's Article on SQL Server 2005 and XML
Shawn Wildermuth wrote a great DevX article on Making Sense of the XML DataType in SQL Server 2005.
The most entertaining part of this article, as a current Atlantan and Braves fan, is his indictment of John Smoltz' contributions at the plate:
<Team name="Braves">
<Players>
<Pitcher name="John Smoltz" role="Closer"/>
<Pitcher name="Russ Ortiz" role="Starter" />
<ThirdBase name="Chipper Jones"
role="Starter" bats="switch"/>
</Players>
</Team>
No "bats" attribute? You callin' Smoltzy a guaranteed inning out?
