Hello,

what is the best way to import an XML file into the database?

thank you

Hey there Link 76. I think people are skipping your thread because you are not specific in what you are asking. If you want my simple blunt answer it would be, put the xml data into a key, and create a record. Done. That is the answer based on your question, but I have a feeling that is not what you are asking. So what are you asking?

XML is not a database.
XML are nested data
Database is tables of data.
So you can use the "revXMl..." functions to obtain an array, but how to transform in database depends on how you interpret the data.
