Hi Rahul,

I actually gave this a shot once, basically exporting all of the data into
a MySQL database and then running the queries against that. Unfortunately
basically none of the data queries worked at all and after spending a while
trying to clean them up I eventually gave up.

I'm actually not sure what HL7's movement to open the specification will
mean to the database. At least as far as I have seen there have been no
announcements about what will happen with it, but if I were to guess I
would say they won't be making it available for free. If anyone knows
either way I'd love to hear about it- It would be great to try and find a
volunteer to have another go at that conversion. Might actually make a good
student project now that I think about it.

Cheers,
James
