XML Questions

2008-03-11 Thread David Day
I have some statistical data residing on z/OS that I would like to be able 
to load to a relational database. The relational database engine depends upon 
the user's environment/choice.  DB2, SQL Server, MS ACCESS, to name three.  
From the research I am doing, it looks like all three understand XML data.  I 
believe it is possible to define the tables using XML schema definitions, and 
load the data into the tables using XML data definitions that match the schema.
What I'd like to know is 1) is the above true?  I can use XML and 
accomplish both table definitions and table loading.  And 2) what kind of 
gotcha's are there in accomplishing this?  Any recommendations for resources 
for XML 'stuff' would be appreciated.   Thanks,

Thank you Don.  I saw the size in the PD, but wasn't sure if it was for
the HFS or the AIXMHFS file.

Being a contractor and not having access to normal support channels,
not even sure what they are anymore, I opted to use the list, since its
accessibility is not limited and the wealth of knowledge is high.  

What you did was very generous and appreciated.  
idealism
In an ideal world, I would just be able to compose my question and send
it to the vendor (IBM in this case), without having to know all of the
ins and outs of component ids, support websites (i.e. ibmlink) etc.  And
the vendor would be continuously scanning the list and routing the
question to the appropriate individuals (exactly as you did).  Thus
relieving the customer the onus of knowing/caring about the internal
organization of the vendor.  This also seems like it would free the
vendor to optimize their support structure based upon the demand
(OnDemand Support?).  But alack and alas, history, volume, size, and
other components make it difficult for the larger vendors to be as agile
as perhaps the newer younger organizations.  But one does gain
stability, robustness and a host of other positive attributes.

 Subject: XML questions
 
 
 I sent the questions on XML Toolkit to the XML team and have 
 posted the
 answers below.  They said normal support for XML would have 
 answered these
 questions.
 
 Q1. where do I get sizing information, or is that AIXMHFS file
 allocated earlier somehow related (does not look like an HFS) ?
 
 A: On page 15 of the Program Directory it states that for the 
 HFS Library
 you need to allocate at least 27,945 tracks (if using a 3390). This is
 different than the AIXMHFS file mentioned.
 
 Q2. is creating and mounting the HFS at /usr/lpp/ixm, the correct
 thing to do?
 
 A: The IXMMKDIR sample will create an IBM subdirectory at 
 this point and
 this is where you should mount the HFS you allocated.
