Are you implying that xml such as the one below is invalid, just because en element contains more than one same-named sub-element? If so, could you point where in the XML specs from the W3C such an assertion is made? <article> <title>Example</title> <para> Some paragraph </para> <para> Another paragraph </para> </article> The example from the original person asking is valid XML, the trick is to put that info into a relational database. XML and relational databases do not have the same implicit data (or even data structure or relation) representations, they can be made compatible easilly or with difficulty, depending on the structure of the XML document and/or the constrains of the SQL schema. Perhaps, you too should look at the URLs you pointed out in your message (which I have cippled from this msg so it will not be too long). Cheers. ===== --- Jesus M.
