Yes, the SQL to XML functionality sits above Virtuoso's virtual database functionality, which enables a unified logical and physical representation of database tables and views that reside in disparate database engines from different database vendors. The only requirement is that these database have to be ODBC or JDBC accessible - implying the existence of data access drivers for these databases. See similar questions...

I (and I suspect most other readers) DO actually appreciate you taking the time to discuss these formats online. Still, I can understand (and agree with) the reasons which are driving people to be somewhat abrasive in some of the posts. Microsoft has definitively proven that it will do whatever it can to lock its customers in and avoid competing on technical (and now price) merits. See similar questions...

Visio is a Microsoft product, and is considered an extension of Microsoft Office. It is a drawing tool that makes it easy to assemble many typical business drawings by dragging and dropping shapes off of stencils. Different stencils focus on specific drawing applications (e.g. block diagrams, floor plans, org charts), and many of these stencils revolve around different engineering specialties (e.g. electrical, mechanical, process).

The Global Justice XML Data Model (Global JXDM) is an object-oriented data model for organizing the content of a data dictionary, the Global JXDD, in a database. From this database an XML schema specification can be generated that consistently represents the semantics and structure of common data elements and types required to exchange information within the justice and public safety communities.

A major benefit of XML is its ability to provide an open format for data representation, exchange, protocol and application modeling. By using XML as a uniform data interface to disparate data sources, it becomes much easier to cost-effectively develop and deploy next generation web applications; increasingly these applications will depend on data hosted in a variety of databases and data sources.

GIF support was provided by an external library, libgd. Version 1.6 of the gd library dropped support for gif in favour of the superior png format. More recent versions of libgd also support jpeg output. If your installation of gnuplot is linked to the gd library, you will get support for whatever formats (gif, png, jpeg) are in that version of libgd. See similar questions...

No, you can generate graphs on reports in png format only. This format is supported in all the popular browsers. If you write a program that generates gif files, you have to pay royalties to Unisys who owns the gif compression patent. See similar questions...

I played hooky and ploughed through the Metro specification. Interesting. I satisfied myself that there are ways to anticipate this format in some "package" applications I have in mind, and they should be able to be Metro hybrids in the future. I know what names not to use to avoid future collisions, in particular [;<). See similar questions...

The WithXmlDoc example in bakery/examples/ shows how to subclass from Document_XML so that your Document can use an XML format. This document explains how to use Document_XML. Don't worry, you don't need to do much of it. And it is very useful in this case. Bakery classes do not need to inherit from classes that share a common base class (Bakery::View is not a Gtk widget) so the situation is not complicated. See similar questions...
