Is there an easy way

to convert from a database to an XML file?

If you are using Oracle, you should check out the java/xml tools available for download on the Oracle Technology Network, specifically the java xdk. You may need to register first, but after you do, you can follow this link: http://otn.oracle.com/software/tech/xml/xdk_java/content.html
Other db vendors probably offer similar java api's.

This may not be what you're looking for, but dbXML is a native XML database.
http://www.dbxml.org/ and http://www.xmldb.org/
If you're using DB2, they have an "XML extender"

Finally, SourceForge has a database to XML converter

I'm using mySQL and SQL Server
I'll check out the Source Forge stuff. Thanks.

Where is the source forge stuff?
I am interested in converting an MS Access Database to an XML file. Is this possible? Or is it only possible with the big RDBMSes?

[Lee Xu]

Any tool to transfer from XML to Oracle?
Thanks

I would like to ask again, for those who might know. How do I convert a MS Access 97 database to an XML file? Thanks.
