Fred writes "Hi SQLTeam,

I need help in developing a SQL 2000 query that would request an XML document from a web server at http://MyRemoteSensor/data.xml and insert the XML content into a database.

The xml document is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<DEMO_CENTER_DOCUMENT>
<ANALOG_POINTS>
<ANALOG_INPUT>
<VALUE>24.9443</VALUE>
</ANALOG_INPUT>
</ANALOG_POINTS>
</DEMO_CENTER_DOCUMENT>


Each time this document is read from the server, the <VALUE> element is updated with a fresh value.

I need have the SQL Server read the XML document and store the element <VALUE> into the database.

Here are my questions?

How can I get SQL Server 2000 to automatically do something periodically?

How can I get the XML document from the web-server via http port 80 and insert the data value into the db, without using a middleware application written in VB, Java, etc?

So far I have researched the use of IE browser and SQL 2000 and can write html, xml and xsl to select and display data from the database. I need help in getting the data from the remote server (using http) into the SQL DB.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Fred Hart"

Hello all,

Can I ask a question? Our system is written to run in JDK1.2.2, Tomcat and Internet Information Server 5.0 and connects to Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 via JDBC. Is there an easy way to run a SQL query and receive results in the form of XML?

Hi

Yeah, you can put a FOR XML clause at the end of your select statement. You can have a look in books online for more details. Or if you post what your data looks like and the format you want to get it in we can help more.
