Publishing Entities Example

Published entities are XML Documents that have been published to allow access to limited data from the database.  This allows you to grant access to some data for specific functions while preventing access to the actual database, or only allowing access to some parts of the database such as with Executable XML documents.

In this example, we are going to publish the CUSTOMERS XML document created previously.
