 |
|
Hi all,
I have a fully XML structured text document.
For quite I while now I try to find a way to use the information that's in there.
Without success.
Next step in this quest:
Is it possible to import XML data files into openoffice Base?
If so? howto do this?
Thanks in advance. |

It is possible to write an XSLT script for Calc, open the table in Calc and then copy the table into Base.
Base is not a database. It is just a frontend to several types of connectable databases. The type of database is indicated in the status bar. The built-in HSQLDB engine can not import XML.
If your favourite database engine can import XML, you can connect Base to that database. External database have by far more advantages than disadvantages.
The built-in database is very limited and poses a considarable threat to your data.
