RE: DBIx::XML_RDB

[Anonymous Monk]

There seems to be a bug in MySQL which prevents it from working to read XML into the database. But it works fine to extract it.

It also needs some maintainence, but I'm missing tuits.

Matt.

Matt, thanks for the heads up. I don't know if anyone else has noticed this problem or not.
Have you checked MSQL's docs for discussions of this problem? Can you point me to a location that discusses that problem? Was there something Perl specific you wanted to ask, or does this relate to a Perl module you are working on?
Generally we like to keep things related to Perl when we post, or else, there will be too much noise in our sig2noise ratio. ;)
Cheers!

Hum....
Matt is actually the author of the module, so I guess he was not really asking a question...

Matt is also the author of amazing AxKit - http://axkit.org Everyone interested in XML processing should definitely check it out. Cheers,

Thanks for the info and to everyone else who wrote in. r.b.

Just an FYI, the MySQL issue has been worked around in the latest release of DBIx::XML_RDB (though the bug in MySQL may still exist). Also, this module now produces well-formed XML and properly encodes any > and < characters that may be in the SQL query when writing the output file.
