External Variables (Code Review, Part II). September 28, 2012 at 12:34 PM categories: XQuery. Remember when I talked about XQuery Code Review. The other day I was forwarding that link to a client, and noticed that I forgot to mention external variables. I talked about. In the section titled. Look for injection paths. And mentioned that it's usually better to use. Which are less vulnerable to injection attacks. But it can be convenient or even necessary to evaluate dynamic XQuery. That's what. That's beca...

ISO-8601, made a little easier. September 10, 2004 at 03:32 PM categories: XQuery. One of the nicer things about XQuery is that it supports xs:date, xs:time, and xs:dateTime (from XML Schema). But XQuery is short of handy ways to convert human-readable dates and times into ISO-8601, the XML Schema format for dates and times. Life is much easier if your XML already has all the dates and times in ISO-8601 format. So I've written a tutorial. On ISO-8601 dates, and how to generate them in Java.

XQuery Code Review — Where am I? — Michael Blakeley

http://www.blakeley.com/blogofile/archives/518

December 05, 2010 at 01:57 PM categories: XQuery. Code review is a crucial part of good development methodology. It can be a pre-checkin activity, or an ongoing background task in a pair-programming environment. What should you look for when reviewing XQuery code? I'm sure I've forgotten a few things, but hopefully this will get you started. If it's element(), why can't it be element(foo) or element(*, typename) instead? Don't forget about quantifiers and schema-element(). Look for injection paths. Are t...

Testing AWS EC2 Instances for Co-Residence. November 21, 2011 at 01:00 PM categories: AWS. Have you ever thought about setting up a cluster of software nodes using Amazon's EC2 infrastructure? You may have wondered what happens if Amazon's underlying hardware should fail. That hardware runs the hypervisor for your EC2 instance, and if it fails so does your instance. If you have a cluster of N nodes, what happens to the cluster? If the replacement instance is co-resident with an existing cluster instance,...

December 14, 2015 at 12:34 PM categories: food. Toum is traditional with middle eastern food, especially chicken. But it's also great on pizza or pasta, or as a dip for vegetables. Or use it to flavor rice dishes. Heck, try it with cardboard! I first had toum (ثوم) at zankou chicken. Where they call it "garlic sauce". Not knowing the name made it tricky to find a recipe, but I persevered. Here's what I've settled on:. 3 heads of garlic, peeled (about 36-42 cloves). 2-3 Tbl lemon juice. You may be tempted...
