Abstract
A technique is provided for generating one or more XML documents from a single SQL query. Data stored on a data storage device that is connected to a computer is transformed. A query is received that selects data stored in a relational database management system on the data storage device, wherein a data access definition defines: (1) a collection of one or more tables in the relational database management system for storing attributes from an XML document, (2) how data stored in the tables maps to the XML document, (3) a query for mapping the data stored in the tables to the XML document, and (4) a table that will contain the XML document after the XML document is generated. Then, one or more XML documents are generated from the selected data using the data access definition.
