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.

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.
