How do we convert a well-structured XML file to its corresponding tables in a MySQL Database ?
With your own Perl/Python/C code ...
And how do we normalize this well-structured XML file prior to conversion ?
By basically tracking how deep you are in the nesting. In Python, you build a mutli-layer dictionary of the XML file and then do something like:
def deconstruct(xmldata, parentdata): for item in xmldata: if item.has_subitems(): deconstruct(item, xmldata) query = "INSERT INTO %s VALUES (...)" % (xmldata.name, ...)
