SQL Statements in XML document

[Sandeep Shahane]

I'm new to XML. I wish to store all my application SQL statements in an XML file. Can anybody please guide me where can I find XML strucutre for the same and XML parsers also.
Is using XML for storing SQL statements is a good practice ?

[Paul Clapham]

For beginners, just use the XML parser (and other tools) built into Java (1.4 or later). There are many ways to store SQL statements in XML. The simplest is like this:

<SQL>Select name, address from supplier</SQL>

Or you could break the statement up into its parts and store them in separate elements. I would suggest learning the basics of XML before you make any decisions on how to use it.
