Steve WarburtonSubject: adding tables and relationships
Author: Steve Warburton

I am new to xml but have experience with databases. I am trying to create a schema that will link some xml files. (I think thats what I need).
I have 3 files from a web cart as follows:
categories:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE category (View Source for full doctype...)>
- <category xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="testshema.xsd">

In a database I create master relationships within Delphi. How do I do this with Stylus studio. I have openend the 3 files but cannot work out how to 'link' them together.

Cheers

I don't know if there is a special technique to solve this problem (can XSLT handle more than one input file?), but I would do it that way:

- First somehow (not XSLT) get the 3 XML Files into one XML file with one XML Tag:

Before:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<a_line1/>
<a_line2/>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<b_line1/>
<b_line2/>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<c_line1/>
<c_line2/>

After:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<a>
<a_line1/>
<a_line2/>
</a>
<b>
<b_line1/>
<b_line2/>
</b>
<c>
<c_line1/>
<c_line2/>
</c>

Now you can make an XSLT mapping. Find out which information belongs together according to their key fields.

Somehow like this (assuming that "a" contains all keys and its a 1-1 relationship):

<xsl:for-each "a">

<!-- Take name from a -->
<name>
<xsl:value-of "name"/>
</name>

<!-- Take productid from b, find it via id -->
<porductid>
<xsl:value-of "b[id = a/id]/productid">
</productid>

<!-- Take vendor from c, find it via id -->
<vendor>
<xsl:value-of "c[id = a/id]/vendor">
</vendor>

</xsl:for-each>

Unfortunately I cannot manipulate the data as it has to be read by the shopping cart software.

Thanks for the help anyway

Maybe this Thread helps you, there is an example how to merge XML Files:

So what's exactly what you want if you don't want to merge the data? At some point you will want to modify the data don't you?

Also you wouldn't manipulate the input files if you do it like they show you in the link above. In your example you would have 3 input streams and 1 output stream, the 3 input streams would stay unmodified.
