RE: SQL Schema to XML Schema generator [any out there?]

The BizTalk technology preview (something between alpha and beta in other
words) has two products: the Editor and the Mapper. The Editor generates the
schema - but this is an XDR schema, not a DTD or W3C XML Schema. The Mapper
will take two schemas and allow you to use graphical gestures (including
Functoids...) to map from one to the other. The Mapper will generate an XSLT
document - but again this is MS XSL not the W3C version.

Download Microsoft's Biztalk Server Technology Preview.  It has a tool
called
the Mapper, that among other things, can generate a schema from an instance
of
XML.  Then you can tweak it to fit your needs. It also provides a graphical
way
to map between schemas or XML documents.  I've only played with it for a
little
bit, but several associates have used the tool, and have good things to say
about it.

The caveat is that it only runs on Windows 2000.

Subject:  SQL Schema to XML Schema generator [any out there?]



I know there are some tools that take SQL Schema and generate XML DTDs.
Does anyone know of a tool out there that generates an XML Schema?  I know
the schema stuff is not finalized yet, but that's OK for what I'm looking
for.  If there is something in Beta, I'd really like to look at it.  I want
to bootstrap an analysis project that needs to create an XML Schema [in the
MS environment, so I can leverage MSXML] for a SQL Server DB.  I'm trying to
avoid typing it all by hand.

Thanks in advance for the info,
Bob
