As I said in a another thread, you'd be better off with an SQL
update language expressed as XML than a "mapping".
A "mapping" is a boondogggle.
Want do see the example again?
SQL splits itself neatly into update and query. They are two
different problems. SQL has a clean query solution for XML
already. The update part is all that is missing.
