Automated way to convert XML files to SQL database

Question

We have a bunch of XML files  following a schema which is essentially a serialised database form    lt table1 gt      lt column1 gt value lt  column1 gt      lt column2 gt value lt  column2 gt   lt  table1 gt   lt table1 gt      lt column1 gt another value lt  column1 gt      lt column2 gt another value lt  column2 gt   lt  table1 gt        Is there a really easy way to turn that into an SQL database  Obviously I can manually construct the schema  identify all tables  fields etc  and then write a script to import it  I just wonder if there are any tools that could automate some or all of that process

There is a project on CodeProject that makes it simple to convert an XML file to SQL Script  It uses XSLT  You could probably modify it to generate the DDL too   And See this question too   Generating SQL using XML and XSLT

For Mysql please see the LOAD XML SyntaxDocs   It should work without any additional XML transformation for the XML you ve provided  just specify the format and define the table inside the database firsthand with matching column names   LOAD XML LOCAL INFILE  table1 xml      INTO TABLE table1     ROWS IDENTIFIED BY   lt table1 gt      There is also a related question    How to import XMl file into MySQL database table using XML LOAD    function   For Postgresql I do not know
