SQL extensions source
100%
Description
The documentation says:
"The saxon-resources download includes a set of XSLT extension instructions providing access to SQL databases. These are not intended as being necessarily a production-quality piece of software (there are many limitations in the design), but more as an illustration of how extension instructions can be used to enhance the capability of the processor."
But these are not included in the saxon-resources download.
Once upon a time (i.e. 9.2 and earlier) saxon-resources included the Saxon-HE source code. In fact it contained the whole of net.saxon.sf, and this included the Java classes for SQL extensions in net.saxon.sf.options.sql; but this has not been the case for a long time.
The preprocessed source code for Saxon-HE is available from SourceForge, but this does not include net.saxon.sf.options.sql. The raw source is however available on the dev.saxonica.com site.
Is this a documentation, or saxon-resources, problem?

I think it's a documentation problem, and more general. Basically I think we need to clarify where source code is available from.
I believe the information in Licensing (https://www.saxonica.com/documentation/index.html#!conditions) is correct:
From Saxon 9.5, [...] Saxonica makes "source code" available in two forms:
-
The raw source, prior to pre-processing, is available in the Subversion repository on the dev.saxonica.com site. [...]
-
The preprocessed source is issued as a ZIP archive downloadable from the Saxon project site on SourceForge. [...]
The preprocessed source is a subset of the raw source, so some classes are only available from dev.saxonica.com rather than the SourceForge source ZIP. The source code is no longer included in the saxon-resources zip.
There are a number of places in the documentation where this information is out of date, including:
-
http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/index.html#!sql-extension (as above)
-
extensions/functions/exslt (similar to above)
-
about/resources (and various other places in the "About" section)
