UPDATE a XML file problem

[Ina]

Good morning,

I have this code vbscript code for updata a xml file in to a database.
(sample) . I need to update a xml from a database1 to another
database2. As the results from the database1 generally changes a every
week, I need to export all the data to database2. I would like to
update this database3.

' VBScript source code

set objBL = CreateObject("SQLXMLBulkLoad.SQLXMLBulkload.3.0")

objBL.ConnectionString =
"provider=SQLOLEDB.1;datasource=localhost;database=MyDatabase;integrated
security=SSPI"

objBulkLoad.IgnoreDuplicateKeys = True
objBulkLoad.KeepIdentity = False
objBulkLoad.KeepNulls = True
objBulkLoad.ForceTableLock = True
objBulkLoad.SchemaGen = True
objBulkLoad.SGUseID = True
objBulkLoad.SGDropTables = True

objBL.ErrorLogFile = "c:\error.log"
objBL.Execute "customersmapping.xml", "customers.xml"
Set objBL = Nothing


and I update this xml file and all is ok

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ROOT xmlns="custommers.xsd">
<Customers>
<CustomerId>1111</CustomerId>
<CompanyName>Sean Chai</CompanyName>
<City>NY</City>
</Customers>
<Customers>
<CustomerId>1112</CustomerId>
<CompanyName>Tom Johnston</CompanyName>
<City>LA</City>
</Customers>
<Customers>
<CustomerId>1113</CustomerId>
<CompanyName>Institute of Art</CompanyName>
</Customers>
<Customers>
<CustomerId>1156</CustomerId>
<CompanyName>School</CompanyName>
</Customers>
<Customers>
<CustomerId>189</CustomerId>
<CompanyName>TOTO</CompanyName>
</Customers>
</ROOT>

Now i would like to upload this file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ROOT xmlns="custommers.xsd">
<Customers>
<CustomerId>1111</CustomerId>
<CompanyName>Sean Chai</CompanyName>
<City>NY</City>
</Customers>
<Customers>
<CustomerId>1112</CustomerId>
<CompanyName>Tom Johnston</CompanyName>
<City>LA</City>
</Customers>
<Customers>
<CustomerId>1113</CustomerId>
<CompanyName>Institute of Art</CompanyName>
</Customers>
<Customers>
<CustomerId>1156</CustomerId>
<CompanyName>School</CompanyName>
</Customers>
<Customers>
<CustomerId>189</CustomerId>
<CompanyName>Laria</CompanyName>
</Customers>
<Customers>
<CustomerId>156</CustomerId>
<CompanyName>Jonathan</CompanyName>
<City>NY</City>

</Customers>

</ROOT>

and I cannot do it! because it doesn't take on consideration the
changes on this file... How can I update this the changes into my
database3.

Any suggestion.

Assuming SQL Server:
Run the XML into a stored procedure that prunes out items that are exactly
alike and only runs the changes. With OPEN XML, you can query XML like a
database table. ANother option is to do an XML bulk load into a "temp" table
and run the changes there.

Otherwise: You may have to run through the records one by one to get the
Customer IDs and then query the database to pull the same information. You
can then update those that have changed by looping through the records and
then calling Update() on the DataAdapter.
