QueryMachine is database independent SQL engine for queries to non-specific source of the data, such as XML, flat files, regular relational databases or all of above. It supports XML-Related Specifications (SQL/XML) FCD ISO/IEC 9075-14:2005 (E). It was designed for one specific purpose: to execute the query for the data containing virtually in any type of the structured storage. However, there are extensions to standard SQL-92 which adds compatibility with the different data sources.

- Schema Aware XQuery
- On-demand document parsing
- Huge input files are not loaded into memory entirely
- XQuery expressions are compiled directly into MSIL
- Native support for MS Office OpenXML files
- Hash-join FLWOR optimization and implicit parallelization of XQuery requests
