Can anyone help me overcome a terminology and jargon barrier I am having in fully defining what tools to use to fulfil a process.
I want to create a database 6 Related tables. Update information 1 or twice a week with data from an XML file that I will download, this data would update rows in 5 tables of the database. From there display, add, edit and view data in web page and produce other info based on this. My main roadblock is the XML process, I am finding it unclear to understand what tools and how to manage this process. Most examples show manually inputting data. What I know and have learnt. - can insert and update data into database using python(values I type in) - can query and view data with python from tables - can design good SQL related tables(don't know much NoSQL) - Use lxml to open view and find info from nodes of an XML file - Basic Django/Flask/Pylons haven't completed a sizable project yet but have completed their tutorials and have some previous web experience. When I look for info on this process - Info from django leads ultimately to fixtures Django Docs, initial fixtures https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/initial-data/ - SQLAlchemy info leads http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/orm/examples.html#xml-persistence - Spyne RPC toolkit http://spyne.io/#s=sql&ser=Xml&show=Schema Reading these I am not sure this covers what I am actually trying to do, reliably and repeatedly update a database with XML data. Can anyone advise of the correct terminology I should be searching for to learn more. What python tools would best help me complete Sayth -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
