I have a complex XSD schema and hundreds of XML files conforming to the schema.

How do I automate the creation of related SQL Server tables to store the XML data?

I've considered creating C# classes from the XSD schema using the xsd.exe tool and letting something like Subsonic figure out how to make a shiny database out of it, but not sure if it's the best way to approach it.

Has anyone managed to elegantly import XSD files into SQL Server?
