Example 24.510. Extracting tables from mapping schema

Let we have the following mapping schema in the catmp.xsd file 

<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
            xmlns:sql="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:mapping-schema">
<xsd:annotation>
  <xsd:appinfo>
    <sql:relationship name="CategoryProduct"
          parent="Demo.demo.Categories"
          parent-key="CategoryID"
          child="Demo.demo.Products"
          child-key="CategoryID" />
  </xsd:appinfo>
</xsd:annotation>

  <xsd:element name="category" sql:relation="Demo.demo.Categories" type="CategoryType" />
   <xsd:complexType name="CategoryType" >
     <xsd:sequence>
        <xsd:element name="product"
                     sql:relation="Demo.demo.Products"
                     sql:relationship="CategoryProduct" >
           <xsd:complexType>
              <xsd:attribute name="ProductName" type="xsd:string" />
           </xsd:complexType>
        </xsd:element>
     </xsd:sequence>
        <xsd:attribute name="CategoryID"  type="xsd:integer" />
        <xsd:attribute name="description"  sql:field="Description"  type="xsd:string" />
    </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>

the _result vector after the call

_result := xml_create_tables_from_mapping_schema_decl (
  'http://localhost.localdomain/xmlrepository',
  'catmp.xsd', 'UTF-8', 'x-any');

will contain the following six strings

drop table "Demo"."demo"."Categories",

ALTER TABLE "Demo"."demo"."Products" DROP CONSTRAINT "Demo.demo.Products_Demo.demo.Categories_FK",

drop table "Demo"."demo"."Products",

create table "Demo"."demo"."Categories"
("Description"  VARCHAR, "CategoryID" INTEGER, PRIMARY KEY ("CategoryID")),

create table "Demo"."demo"."Products" ("CategoryID"  INTEGER, "ProductName"  VARCHAR),

ALTER TABLE "Demo"."demo"."Products" ADD CONSTRAINT "Demo.demo.Products_Demo.demo.Categories_FK"
FOREIGN KEY ("CategoryID") REFERENCES "Demo"."demo"."Categories" ("CategoryID")
