SQL Server 2005, code named "Yukon," is designed to help enterprises address these challenges. SQL Server “Yukon” is Microsoft’s next-generation information management solution that will deliver increased scalability, availability, and security to enterprise data and analytical applications while making them easier to create, deploy, and manage.

Advancements such as XQuery and a native XML data type will help enable organizations to seamlessly connect internal and external systems. SQL Server "Yukon" will support both relational and XML data natively, so enterprises can store, manage, and analyze data in the format that best suits their needs. Support for existing and emerging open standards such as Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), XML, Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), XQuery, and XML Schema Definition (XSD) will also facilitate communication across extended enterprise systems.

The download contains a jarfile with the Oracle XQuery prototype (in a jarfile), and java docs. Once installed, you can use the Java API (OJXQI), or the command-line utility to test the prototype.

Saxonica undertakes the development of the Saxon XSLT, XQuery, and XML Schema processor. This technology is available in two versions: the basic edition Saxon-B, available as an open source product from SourceForge, and the schema-aware edition Saxon-SA available on a commercial license.

Saxon-SA includes an XML Schema processor, and schema-aware XSLT, XQuery, and XPath processors. Saxon-B has no support for XML Schema. The XQuery processor may be invoked either from the operating system command line, or via an API from a Java application. The Saxon XQuery implementation allows you to call Java methods as external functions.
