Having dealt before with standarized output for a distributed system, I am wondering if your package follows the SQL/XML mapping standard (see the info at http://www.sqlx.org/) FYI, there are ISO and ANSI standards on the mapping of data and identifiers between SQL and XML. For the usual cases is rather trivial, the problem begins with the maping of identifier names (tables, dbs, schemas, etc.), which in SQL can be composed of anything, including spaces and other random stuff. There is a more recent (2004) draft for the new SQL/XML standard that you could peruse, or if you can, get the ISO and ANSI ones (from 2003) and use them as good bedtime reading (I did back when they first came out :-) > I wrote Query2XML because XML_sql2xml was just not flexible enough for my > needs.
