Re: Advice on creating XML documents from MySQL

This is a job for XSLT, Steve. Most generic tools will dump your tables
using the column names in the table. That probably won't match your

to their document format. I'm no expert at this, mind you, but the idea
is pretty straightforward.

The theory behind XSLT is pretty straight forward, but the implementation can be a major PITA.

I played around with it a number of years ago at work and it caused a lot of headaches.

It's probably gotten better since I played with it though ... but it had a long way to go.
