Question

I am completely new in MySQL and trying to insert multiple rows in MySQL table using XMl file but can’t do it.
My query gets executed successfully but when inserts null in columns in table. Below is the code for query and XML file.

set @xml := load_file('c:/xmldistributortransaction.xml');
insert into xmldistributortransaction     (DistributorId,ProductId,Remarks,Quantity,Price,DIscount,TaxName,Total,AddedDate) values (
        extractValue(@xml,'/resultset/row[1]/field[1]/text()'),
        extractValue(@xml,'/resultset/row[1]/field[2]/text()'),
  extractValue(@xml,'/resultset/row[1]/field[3]/text()'),
  extractValue(@xml,'/resultset/row[1]/field[4]/text()'),
        extractValue(@xml,'/resultset/row[1]/field[5]/text()'),
        extractValue(@xml,'/resultset/row[1]/field[6]/text()'),
        extractValue(@xml,'/resultset/row[1]/field[7]/text()'),
        extractValue(@xml,'/resultset/row[1]/field[8]/text()'),
        extractValue(@xml,'/resultset/row[1]/field[9]/text()'));

XML file

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<resultset statement="select      DistributorId,ProductId,Remarks,Quantity,Price,DIscount,TaxName,Total,AddedDate from xmldistributortransaction">
<row>
<field name="DistributorId">2</field>
<field name="ProductId">20 </field>
<field name="Remarks">remarks for second</field>
<field name="Quantity" >300</field >
<field name="Price">30</field>
<field name="Discount">2 </field>
<field name="TaxName">VAT4</field>
<field name="Total">240</field>
<field name="AddedDate">2012-04-02</field>
</row>
</resultset>

You can try LOAD XML (MySQL) command.

LOAD XML statement syntax, added in MySQL 5.5.

For example –

LOAD XML LOCAL INFILE 'xmldistributortransaction.xml'
  INTO TABLE xmldistributortransaction
  ROWS IDENTIFIED BY '<row>';
