xml-dev - Re: SQL Schema to XML Schema generator [any out there?]

["Mike Sharp" <msharp@lante.com>]

Download Microsoft's Biztalk Server Technology Preview.  It has a tool called
the Mapper, that among other things, can generate a schema from an instance of
XML.  Then you can tweak it to fit your needs. It also provides a graphical way
to map between schemas or XML documents.  I've only played with it for a little
bit, but several associates have used the tool, and have good things to say
about it.

The caveat is that it only runs on Windows 2000.

Subject:  SQL Schema to XML Schema generator [any out there?]



I know there are some tools that take SQL Schema and generate XML DTDs.
Does anyone know of a tool out there that generates an XML Schema?  I know
the schema stuff is not finalized yet, but that's OK for what I'm looking
for.  If there is something in Beta, I'd really like to look at it.  I want
to bootstrap an analysis project that needs to create an XML Schema [in the
MS environment, so I can leverage MSXML] for a SQL Server DB.  I'm trying to
avoid typing it all by hand.

Thanks in advance for the info,
Bob
