lib_mysqludf_xql

lib_mysqludf_xql (or lib_mysqludf_xml) interprets SQL queries and transforms the output directly to XML format, without ever sending the raw SQL results to the client.

This is important because it allows developers to skip a development step and create XML documents directly from the MySQL database, instead of using a server-side programming language like PHP, Ruby, Perl, etc. to do this outside the database, consuming extra server resources.

Usage instructions are included with the download package.

lib_mysqludf_xql was directly influenced and modeled after the SQL/XML feature in MSSQL and Oracle databases.

What is new in this release:

• Put headers in mysqludf.h.
• Put helper functions in own source file mysqludf.cc.
• Don't declare ntargs[args->length] as array, but malloc instead.
• Make mrproper also cleans test directory.
• Set the libdir to the mysql plugin dir by default (can stil be changed with --libdir=).
• Considering the library stable.
