Please vote for SQL extension related bug

[Eric Everman <ev...@precedadesign.com>]

Hi-

The Xalan SQL extension is a fantastic tool for directly extracting 
database data to xml.  Unfortunately, there seems to be a bug in Xalan 
that slightly cripples the SQL extension - see the bug listing at: 
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-1168#action_59329

Please help fix the bug by voting for it!

Why is this bug such a big deal?  Because the bug makes it impossible 
to tell if rows are returned from the query used as the source for the 
SQL extension.  For example, a simple "No rows were returned" message 
in the resulting XML is just not possible, or at least not possible w/o 
some really convoluted XSLT that I've not figured out yet.

I appreciate your help, discussion, or workaround suggestions.

Thanks,
Eric Everman


PS - I seem to have voted for the bug twice under two accounts.  Sorry 
- this was an honest mistake, not an attempt to stuff the ballet.
