hi everyone, I am looking for a good way to export records from a series of tables stored in a RDBMS. currently I am entering data into this system via a PHP-driven web-interface. I would like to be able to export data from the database into a common, parseable format (XML) .
I am struggling with the best approach to dynamically creating XML from the results of a query. so far I have played around with doing the work in PHP with XML_fastcreate (http://pear.php.net/package/XML_FastCreate) ... but am having some difficulties. Now I am considering relegating all import/export operations to a python script, so I do not have to deal with web-browser issues at all. Does anyone have any suggestions for semi-automated creation of XML via python, based on the results of a DB query ? For some background: I am trying to come up with a convenient, intermediate format for storing complex data- which will eventually all end up in a DB. However several people will potentially be generating data, and some without network access- thus the need for a transportable intermediate file. any thoughts / input would be greatly appreciated.
