Xsd to Database

There are times when you have to work with XML. Yes those dreadful times. Specially the times when you get data as XML. And not just master data you sometimes get transactional data in XML. Think about it. How much worse can it get if you had to work with transactional data, and sync it with the database?

I am working on something in that direction. Although I haven’t finalized the approach yet, but it would involve creating an xsd, converting the xsd into datasets and then moving the data into the database.

But have you wondered how you would create a database that is similar to the xsd? Of course you won’t hand code it? Smart developers use smart tools. I found this cool tool that does it all for me. it is called XSD2DB. Isn’t that an intuitive name? It is available download for here.
