XML documents represent a hierarchical tree of data. Relational databases are not good at representing hierarchical documents. So I don't know what you mean by “consistently import xml files into my database”. What are you expecting the result to be? You won't have sensible relational records as a result. At best, you'll have XML blobs in single SQL fields. > Looking to find the best support and methodologies to do this, that is > one of the reasons I am looking at SqlAlchemy. I've asked you about using Django with SQLAlchemy; it's not clear why you don't think that is suitable. So I have the same question: What makes you think a database API is going to solve the problem, and what makes you think SQLAlchemy in particlar is the right solution? More generally: You appear to have already decided what the solution is, without making clear to us what the problem is. Advice is going to be mis-matched until you tell us more about what problem you're trying to solve. -- \ “The Way to see by Faith is to shut the Eye of Reason.” | `\ —Benjamin Franklin | _o__) | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
