XML is a metadata technology - you wrap data in XML. You don't use XML to import or export data. You don't store XML in a database, you store data. When you fetch the data from the database, you wrap it in XML and send it on its way. Does that make it simpler? sql,mysql --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
