About my article in SQL Server Standard Magazine

In my previous post I mentioned the article I wrote for the September issue of SQL Server Standard Magazine. I heard of one person who was having trouble running the code samples from the article. When I received my copy of the magazine I realized the font the article was printed in made it hard to distinguish between ‘(‘ or ‘)' and ‘[‘ or ‘]'. I scanned an examplefrom the magazine and fed the image to an OCR program and it recognized all of the square brackets as parentheses.

An experienced XQuery user would certainly know when to use the brackets vs. the parentheses, but if you're a new to this technology and are using the article as a starting point, you should be aware that there is a difference. In any case, if you have any questions don't hesitate to use the contact form to send me an email.
