An application can access XML documents that are stored in a Tamino database in one of two ways:
Using the .NET classes in the System.Xml namespace;
Using .NET datasets.
The latter choice, i.e. using .NET datasets, is generally recommended
for applications that process less complex ("flat") XML document structures. In
this case, the application uses the TaminoDataAdapter
class, as described in the chapter Working
with Datasets and the TaminoDataAdapter.
In order to process Tamino documents using the System.Xml classes, the
application works directly with the core classes such as
TaminoConnection and
TaminoCommand. Before it can process Tamino documents,
the application must:
Create a TaminoConnection object (see
Working with Connections);
Get a TaminoCommand or
TaminoSchemaCommand object from the
TaminoConnection object (see
Working with Commands).
The following chapters describe how to perform particular tasks.
