The XML conversion function converts the results returned from a database to XML documents according to specified mapping rules.
The results returned from a database can be obtained as a ResultSet object. The ResultSet object is in the form of a single two-dimensional table made up of rows and columns that is independent of the database schema or the search method used. This two-dimensional table is referred to as a "results table".
The XML conversion function converts this ResultSet object to XML documents according to specified conversion rules.
Conversion rules are created by the user as mapping rules based on XML format. They must be prepared in advance in the form of a mapping rule file.
The mapping rules include conversion rules that specify which column of a results table corresponds to which element or attribute of XML documents.
Refer to Appendix L XML Conversion Function Mapping Rules for details on the mapping rules.
