Coding fun solutions to crummy problems using XSLT collections

Application developer and TechRepublic contributor Edmond Woychowsky reveals his unique solution for an assignment that started with having to parse SQL insert statements which where stored in a table used for logging inserts. The table consisted of all of the information required to create log of SQL insert statements, like user id, date and the actual SQL insert statement itself. The assignment was to create an on-line report for non-technical individuals that explicitly stated the changes made to the database. Dropping raw SQL in the middle of the report was not an option. His approach to the problem and his final solution using XSLT collections may help your next development project.
