Creating xsd schema file for a xml file ...

Hi ...
I need to bulk insert the xml data below. I am working on some issues related to the Itentity column (you may have read the other question).
The xml below uses elements with attributes. Is the schema file formated correctly to extract the attributes from the SITE element and then also extract the attributes from the ATMOSPHERIC element ... ? Not sure about the schema file ?
Thanks,
Chris

Not sure if I understand the question fully. Are you having any specific issues with bulk loading this data? or the issue is validating your XML data against XSD?

thanks

|||Hi ...

Sorry about the confusion. I was having some issues with bulk

loading using the IDENTITY Column in the target table. I was

setting the COM attribute KeepIdentity to TRUE rather than FALSE.

The schema and xml are correct.

Thanks,

Chris
