I would like to better understand
the basic steps needed to a take an XML document like this Breakfast Menu...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<breakfast_menu>
<food>
<name>Belgian Waffles</name>
<price>$5.95</price>
<description>two of our famous Belgian Waffles with plenty of real maple syrup</description>
<calories>650</calories>
</food>
<food>
<name>Strawberry Belgian Waffles</name>
<price>$7.95</price>
<description>light Belgian waffles covered with strawberries and whipped cream</description>
<calories>900</calories>
</food>
<food>
<name>Berry-Berry Belgian Waffles</name>
<price>$8.95</price>
<description>light Belgian waffles covered with an assortment of fresh berries and whipped cream</description>
<calories>900</calories>
</food>
<food>
<name>French Toast</name>
<price>$4.50</price>
<description>thick slices made from our homemade sourdough bread</description>
<calories>600</calories>
</food>
<food>
<name>Homestyle Breakfast</name>
<price>$6.95</price>
<description>two eggs, bacon or sausage, toast, and our ever-popular hash browns</description>
<calories>950</calories>
</food>
</breakfast_menu>
And "export" it to say, an Access or MySQL database using XSLT, creating two joined tables:
Table: breakfast_menu
Field: menu_item_id
Field: food_id
Table: food
Field: food_id
Field: name
Field: price
Field: description
Field: calories
If there are online tutorials on this that you know of, I'd be interesting in learning more, as well.
Thanks.
