Well yeah, if you want that, then you'll have to do some data transformation. But in that case I think you'll just have to grab to some very cool XML tool. I'd set up some XSLT document and then transform the MySQL output to the specific DTD with that. It might be cool if you could specify the XSLT to MySQL, that would make it a powerfull XML tool as well. Not sure tough if that's the purpose of this particular DBMS. :P, Wouter (let's drink to the birth and health of the future queen of The Netherlands) -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
