Chris,
Good question, and this probably exposes my ignorance of XST. Maybe it's
not the right technology. Maybe I need to find a tool that can translate
from XSD -> SQL. Then it would be straightforward to map the relational
table defs to the OFBiz entity def. My small brain can't get round the
mapping of the hierarchical XML Schema to a relational one - at least
not given it's size. Maybe when I was younger :-)
In case anyone is interested, the schema I want to map is the ONIX
schema (used in the book trade).
Cheers, Iain
