I want to insert the following data into a database. <xml> <value1>56</value1> <value2>1222</value2> <value3>78.5</value3> </xml> This is easy and the SQL command would look like this: INSERT INTO readings(value1, value2, value3) VALUES("56", "1222", "78.5") However, if the data looks like this what is your suggestion on database design? <xml> <value1>56</value1> <value2>1222</value2> <value2>LOOK</value2> <value3>78.5</value3> </xml> I want to put all data in the same record, but how should I manage the duplication of <value2> in a nice way?
