Re: MySQL 5.1 - XPath Question

[Steffen Sens]

Hallo,

long time ago...but did you get an answer or a solution for the problem?

I have to import data from a xml file in a mysql with a complex structure and I also need a output like you described. I think, with the mysql function extractvalue() only a small amount of XPATH functions are available and some very important axis are not supported i.e. preceding-sibling, so you could get i.e. get from the node (tag):

<author>

the

preceding-sibling : <title>

I am look for other xml parser with good xpath support i.e a perl module or so...

best regards
