XML --> Table conversion should be relatively easy with PL/Perl, PL/Java, and/or an external language. Heck, if we could expand our XML tools (Peter will have a talk on this at the Summit) we could do it in the database by simple function call. If we have an XML patch now, I say use it. I know I want it. -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
