----------------------------------------------------------- From: VinodK [TLabs, SCT] Message 2 in Discussion Hi Anupam, If you are asking how I can get XML from SQL / Oracle ... Then here is the solution ... In SQL: Use the FOR XML clause and the data is got back as an XML format. Now there are various ways in which you can achieve this as a element based or attribute based or mixed type. You can get to know more abt this from SQL Server Books Online. In Oracle: Use the inbuilt DBMS_XMLQuery packages. This is a part of the Oracle Products from 8.1.7 onwards only ... This package has been enhanced in the Oracle 9i product also ... WRT excel, csv's or even DBF i suppose you need to write your own custom logic to form the XML structure. As far as I know this is not a feature inbuilt ... But I did hear in Office 11 there are lots of XML capabilities integrated ... You can explore some of them though ... And to conclude ... From the explanations above it should be clear that every provider has his own way of generating XML formats ... All are custom to their databases and archietecture ... Hence if you are looking for a generic way ... I'am really sorry ...
