Hello all,
I am developing an interface system for an application I was written. This
interface will connect to other system to share information. I would like
to use
xml and xsl to generically describe each interface. The trouble I am having
is that it seem that if you export in xml by table then it is impossible to
combine the xml tables files back together in a hierarchical fashion. I can
do it programmatically but I would like to do it with xsl so that knowledge
of the database is not in the code but in the xsl. I can write generic code
for dumping tables and sql statements. But formatting should be generic.
Can this be done is xsl?

'Interface'? You said you want to export an xml document, or multiple
documents. And you want to collate these into a single xml document,
whether it's 'table', or whatever it is?

I'm just curious, what, specifically, does this look like? What do you
start with? What's the environment? And what's the result supposed to
be?
