that would be cool, yes....but no work has been done here

some thoughts on the way:

  • SQL returns tuples (from a newly generated table)

  • AsTMa? can do that, but it also can return XML content

  • and AsTMa? statements are rather similar to XQuery statements:

    <students>{
       forall [ $s is-a student ]
       return
          <student SID="{$s/in(SID)}">
              <name>{$s/bn}</name>
          </student>
    }</students>
