How to shred & import XML data into SQL Server
Exult SQL Server makes it very easy to shred and import XML data into SQL Server. You could use the simple Wizard interface to do so, or the included command line for batch imports. Once the data is imported into SQL Server, you can have downstream applications consume the data or perform further queries and updates using normal relational SQL.
Here we present some examples of using Exult SQL Server to import XML data into SQL Server and the database schema created by Exult when the XML data is translated into relational form. Some of these XML data sources are updated frequently so it makes sense to refresh the data in the SQL Server database also when necessary. Exult SQL Server provides facilities to update the data from the original XML source seamlessly.
