Generate an XML file. I use the following conversion method: i. The root name of the XML file is the same as the table name (this example is country). II. Each record from the table is distinguished by the tag. III. Each data from the table is distinguished by its field name. - - argentina BUENOS AIRES South America 2777815 32300003 . Create a new application. Place a Button and Table members on the main form. The set table properties are as follows: DatabaseName: DBDemos name: table1 tablename: Country (Remove the Extention ".db") Active: True Select Project / Import Type Library. The Import Type Library dialog will pop up. Select "Microsoft XML, Version 2.0 (Version 2.0)" from the list and click the "CREATE" button. There will be an MSXML_TLB unit to join your project. Please add MSXML_TLB to the interface part of the unit you want to reference. Then declare the variables in the variable section: DataList: TstringList; DOC: ixmldomdocument; root, child, child1: ixmldomelement; text1, text2: ixmldomtext; nlist: ixmldomnodelist; datarecord: string; add makexml functions to your unit. It will generate an XML file by reading data in the Contry table in DBDemos.

Call the above procedure TForm1.Button1Click function in onclick event of Button1 (Sender: TObject); begin if makeXml (table1) = 1 then showmessage ( 'XML Generated') else showmessage ( 'Error while generating XML File'); end; If you open the generated country.xml file with IE 5.0 (or above), it looks like it looks below - - argentina Buenos Aires South America 2777815 32300003 - Bolivia la PAZ South America 7300000 .. - Venezuela Caracas South America 912047 19700000 < / Country> Inserting data You have generated the data existing in the Country table generate an XML file. Therefore, the data in this XML file is the same as the Country table. If you want to insert the data in the XML file into the Country table and don't want to delete the original data, there will be an error in the primary key conflict. Therefore, you must first delete the data already existing in the Country table. Add another button and a MEMO component on the main form.

Add the following code in the Button2 onclick event. MEMO is used to display the status in the data insertion (success / fail).

procedure TForm1.Button2Click (Sender: TObject); var i, ret_val, count: Integer; strData: String; begin // Before inserting data in to the country table, make sure that the data in // the generated xml file (country. xml) and country table (DBDEMOS) are // different try count:. = 1; DataList: = TStringList.Create; memo1.Clear; doc: = CreateOleObject ( 'Microsoft.XMLDOM') as IXMLDomDocument; // Load country.xml File doc.load ('country.xml'); nlist: = DOC.GETELEMENTSBYTAGNAME ('Records'); Memo1.Lines.Append (' Table Name: Country '); Memo1.Lines.Append (' ----- ---------------- '); for i: = 0 to nlist.get_length-1 do begin TravelChildren (nlist.get_item (i) .GET_CHILDNODES); // Removes The First Character (,) From datarecord strdata: = COPY (DataRecord, 2, Length); Memo1.Lines.Append (strdata); DataRecord: = ''; RET_VAL: = Insertin Totable (Datalist); if Ret_val = 1 Then Memo1.Lines.Append ('Data INSERTED SUCCESSFULLY .............!

It looks a text data along the node list and add this data into the TStringList (DataList) variable. When the first round is completed, the DataList will include strings Argentina, Buenos Aires, South America, 2777815, 32300003. Finally, we will transfer this StringList to function insertintable, which will complete a record inserting a record into the Country table. Repeat this process to complete the insertion of the entire XML file data.
