And off-topic from the original question but to repeat myself from 
before, using XML and MySQL together isn't that difficult in most 
situations you may encounter.  A little wrapping to be sure, but 
validating parsers are easy to get your hands on and designing an 
expat-based parser that knows your schema (XML & DB) for translation 
isn't a big chore for most data types I've come across.

Hear, hear!

A good place to look if you're interested in the views of relational DB
"purists" (and what they think of XML, etc) is

Converting a relational dbms into an XML frontend is like trying to
change a Chevrolet into a Beetle.  (The problem is of course that too
many managers orders too much xml these days.)

Re: XML in MySQL

2003-06-22 Thread chad pratt
well you probably want to import and export XML into  tables.. is this what
you want to do? IF you want to process it qua XML as opposed to TEXT or BLOB
then it 's not that hard, right? You have data in XML that needs to be put
in columns and visa-versaI am not *certain* what you're looking
for...here's a resource for you- http://www.xmlphp.com/

I am sure there are probably others books and packages out there.. that';s
why God gave you Google..

This has nothing to do with my expectations and everything to do with
answering Joel Amoussou's question(s).

As a long-time MySQL and open source software user, I'm well aware of
the development differences between OS and commercial software.

geez mysql is an open source product you cannot expect so much too soon over
a very expensive commercial product which has been out for years , for xml i
usually generate it on the fly when i am extracting the data using the field
names as the xml tag nodes.

SOAP is one thing.  But what about storing XML documents in the DB
(with validation on the way in) and querying them using XPath?  Oracle
does that.  MySQL does not.

I don't buy that.  If you've really looked at what Oracle is offering,
it's hard to argue that the MySQL addons really solve the same
problems.

Have you seen otherwise?  Maybe the addons are quite a bit better than
last time I looked?
