Question

I want to create an Access database(‘mdb’) from an xml file.

Creating empty access database is easy(I am able to do this), I am having problem in figuring out how can we create a table and populate it with data from the xml file on the fly through code.

I am using C#.

Answer 1

You can read the XML file into a DataSet, then populate it into your database.

DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.ReadXml(filename);

foreach(DataTable table in ds.Tables) {

    //Create table

    foreach(DataRow row in table.Rows) {
        //Insert rows
    }
}
