The id column also makes a convenient foreign key to reference an individual XML document in our table from a row in another table. We can make a copy of our books table and add a column called id to hold the row index. To facilitate queries for a single row, it’s handy to add a column top the table to hold a unique row index. So far, our XML queries have operated on all rows of each table. We can also use the Concat( ) function to add XML elements to non-XML data such as the cities table, as shown below: In the screen shot below, the query on line 1 updates the every row of our books table, and the query on line 2 returns the new values: The UpdateXML() function can be used to modify the contents of individual XML elements using a SQL expression. Below is a simple ExtractValue() query to return only the author initials from every row in the books table: MySQL supports two functions for working with XML in text fields, ExtractValue() and UpdateXML() that can operate on individual elements via XPath expressions. Note that the doc column of the books table contains XML data, although it was defined as varchar(150). We can run select queries and display the contents of our tables in stacked results windows: Here is a DatabaseSpy Design View of our tables: Next, we created two tables called books and cities and inserted data by following the examples in the MySQL documentation. The DatabaseSpy Online Browser and Properties windows are shown here: We created a new data source named LocalPrototype, and created a new database schema that we named XMLtest. For this exercise we will adapt and extend some of the MySQL XML examples at the MySQL reference resources listed here:įirst, we launched DatabaseSpy and connected to our local MySQL Community Edition. Although MySQL does not support XML as a data type for database columns, MySQL 5.1 and 6.0 do support some operations for XML data stored as text. The Amazon RDS is based on MySQL, so we will build a small local database in the MySQL Community Edition, then migrate to the Amazon RDS and test our database in the cloud.

You can also download a fully-functional free trial of the Altova MissionKit or any individual Altova application at: Build a Local Prototype If you would like to follow the steps described below for yourself, you will need to sign up for an Amazon Web Services (AWS) account at: Since the database Connection Wizard is consistent across the Altova MissionKit, you can connect the same way using XMLSpy, MapForce, or StyleVision.

In this blog post we demonstrate how to connect to the Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) and build a small database using Altova DatabaseSpy.

He then shows off a range of topics including AJAX library integration, RESTful Web Services, PDF creation and manipulation, and dynamically generated presentation files. I can create XPath, XML Schemas, and more from their tools and don’t ever feel the need to look for a new tool.”įarrar, a ColdFusion expert, teaches the basics of ColdFusion programming, application architecture, and object reuse. According to Farrar, “I have a suite of tools from Altova and find they do what I want. In this latest update, Farrar uses the Altova MissionKit, our suite of XML, database, and UML tools to do all his XML work for the book.

The latest update to the Cold Fusion book series – “ColdFusion 9 Developer Tutorial” is an update to John Farrar’s “ColdFusion 8 Developer Tutorial”. Authors of various industry reference books ranging from SOA and Web services to XML continue to use and recommended Altova tools.
