Opening a DB-to-XML Data Source

You can open a DB-to-XML data source

As a DB-to-XML data source, that is, in the DB-to-XML data source editor. This gives you the opportunity to change the data source's definition, including its connectivity settings and SQL/XML statements, for example.

As XML, using any Stylus Studio editor that accepts XML (such as the XML editor, for example). When you open a DB-to-XML data source as XM L, Stylus Studio displays only the XML that resulted from executing the SQL/XML defined on the SELECT tab of the DB-to-XML data source.

To open a DB-to-XML data source:

1. Select File > Open from the menu bar.

Stylus Studio displays the Open dialog box.

2. Click the Relational DB icon to display the files in the DB-to-XML file system.

3. Select the data source you want to open.

4. If you want to open the data source in the DB-to-XML Data Source Editor, click Open.

If you want to open the data source as an XML document:

a. Click the down arrow on the Open button.

b. Select the editor from the drop-down list.

Stylus Studio opens the data source as an XML document in the editor you selected.


Note		When you save a DB-to-XML data source that you have opened as XML, any SQL/XML statements you have defined on the UPDATE tab are executed.
