NAME DBIx::XML::DataLoader VERSION 1.0b DESCRIPTION DBIx::XML::DataLoader is a tool for loading data from a xml document into any DB datasource. It will also load data into a xml document from a DB datasource. The module uses a custom map file written in xml to holding the information needed to traverse the xml data source and load the data into the appropriate DB datasource. With this system there is no real limitation to the type of xml document holding your data. There is also no limitation to the number of DB datasources that can be loaded from one xml document. WARNING This is beta software and should be used with caution. DEPENDENCIES DBI LWP::UserAgent XML::XPath XML::Simple INSTALLATION This module will install like any other perl module. to install from with in the main directory from command line type perl Makefile.PL Then edit the resulting make file Makefile then type make make test # currently there are no tests included make install EXAMPLES You will find a example directory inside this distribution. The examples use the DBD::CVS as the driver. This should make the examples functional anywhere the CVS driver is installed. STATUS AND SUPPORT This is a beta version of DBIx::XML::DataLoader . Development has been mostly done with a Oracle database. I have also tested this code using mysql. I have done no testing with other DB drivers although I assume things should work fine using other drivers.
