Presumably each data item is wrapped in a set of xml tags - do they use
a common set or are the tags defined for each vendor? Presumably they
would be nested something like
<DB>
<table>
<element>
</element>
</table>
</DB>
Do they describe the data with attributes - eg integer, text,
constraints etc?
Do you have an example of the output?
From this it wouldnt be too hard (?!) to write a ruby script to parse
it to migrate files
You could then use the rake migrate script in Rails to then create the
DB tables
You would be stuck with the original schema though, which you might not
agree with depending on its design

As we have seen BP, MD and probably other programs can dump to XML. Now
a nice project for ?one of Jon Patrick's students would be to write a
RAIL's interface to that XML dump. :-)
I'm happy to entertain this proposal but it needs to be formulated in
a one apage description with an estimate of the time commitment it
would take.
This is the point in time when we are looking for projects for next
semester
