Where am I?

The RecordLoader tutorial seems to be popular, so here’s another. This tutorial covers XQSync.

Over at Mark Logic we recently released a new PerformanceMeters tool, which can be handy for benchmark testing - and unit testing, too. I’ve written a short tutorial.

If you’ve tried to use my RecordLoader tool, you’ve probably noticed that it’s lightly-documented and somewhat cryptic. This tutorial may help.

One of the nicer things about XQuery is that it supports xs:date, xs:time, and xs:dateTime (from XML Schema). But XQuery is short of handy ways to convert human-readable dates and times into ISO-8601, the XML Schema format for dates and times.

Life is much easier if your XML already has all the dates and times in ISO-8601 format. So I’ve written a tutorial on ISO-8601 dates, and how to generate them in Java.
