If you are looking for a way to read XML, you might be able to do that with DataSet.ReadXml, and then write the data to the database.

What are you talking about?  If you use a DataSet, then you can have multiple tables, and the relationships would be automatically created for you from the data.

If I use the below code to examine the DataSet, I get this output:

Tables:
  VOD
    VOD_Id  PROCEDURE  
  VERIFY_DATA
    VERIFY_DATA_Id  VOD_Id  
  columnName
    columnName_Text  VERIFY_DATA_Id  
  RECORDS
    RECORDS_Id  VOD_Id  
  RECORD
    SHIP_CD  EMP_NAME  TRN_MONTH  USER_ID  CDC_NO  TRAINING_DT  RESPONSIBILITY  SUBJECT  TITLE_TYPE  RECORDS_Id  

Relations:
  VERIFY_DATA_columnName
  RECORDS_RECORD
  VOD_VERIFY_DATA
  VOD_RECORDS

            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
 
            ds.ReadXml(@"c:\temp\test.xml");
 
            Console.WriteLine("Tables:");
            foreach (DataTable dt in ds.Tables)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("  " + dt.TableName);
 
                Console.Write("    ");
                foreach (DataColumn dc in dt.Columns)
                {
                    Console.Write(dc.ColumnName + "  ");
                }
                Console.WriteLine();
            }
 
            Console.WriteLine("Relations:");
 
            foreach (DataRelation relation in ds.Relations)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(relation.RelationName);
            }

i 've tried this way problem was all the tables verifydata is coming once and all the tables columns are coming once...

That is the problem ...

 

by: TheLearnedOnePosted on 2009-10-16 at 05:08:02ID: 25588685

OK, that doesn't make any sense.  What do you mean by "coming once"?

 

by: TekiSreelakshmiPosted on 2009-10-16 at 05:24:52ID: 25588804

dataset table are verifydata,Records ,Record,Column like this ...
Forming one table data is difficult.. why because All tables VerifyData is in one table  ..
All tables columns are in one table like that

TableName,Database Fields and database values are here and there ..How to consolidate?...

Are you telling me that your target table in the database is one, single flat table, doesn't have the same structure as the XML?  It might be possible to flatten the data from the DataSet, by looping through the tables.

Another approach is to use an XmlDocument, parse the XML, and build a single table, that you can write to the database with.

Example:
