XML extender support
DB2 now allows you to store eXtended Markup Language (XML) documents as a new column data type. You can also decompose and store XML in its component parts as well as search on the decomposed fields of an XML document. This function combined with enhancements to Net.Data® provide you with a simpler way of exchanging and storing documents electronically.

Net.Data Enhancements
Net.Data, which connects Web applications to DB2, now has built in XML exploitation. This allows you to generate XML tags as output from your Net.Data macro, instead of manually entering the tags. You can also specify an XML style sheet (XSL) to be used to format and display the generated output.
