The xerces-c DOM API which you can get from xml.apache.org will provide details of how to traverse a DOM tree. You will then have to write your database code and insert the values you want from the nodes. There are some example programs with the download you can look at as well. > > 2)Suggest which would be a better approach SAX or DOM? Note that I donot want > to > > manipulate the data.

For example, you could override the startElement method and place a switch on the element name to insert into different database tables.
