  • Query and edit data in a relational database with SQL statements
  • Import database data into an XML document
  • Create an XML Schema from a relational database
  • Export XML data to a relational database
  • Generate a database schema based on an XML Schema
  • Manage native XML databases – enjoy built-in support for IBM DB2 9 pureXML , Oracle's XML DBs, and SQL Server
  • Leverage the XML Schema Editor with support for IBM DB2 9 pureXML, Oracle XML DBs and SQL Server third-party XML Schema extensions

XMLSpy can help you meet interoperability challenges by enabling you to quickly and accurately convert database data to an XML file and back again.
