Data Loading

Loading XML documents into ArcSDE is similar to loading shapes and rasters, except for the use of the XML document API object.

After the XML column and indexes/tags are created, an XML document API object is initialized, the XML document text is added to the object, and the object is inserted into the database by the stream. For loading XML documents into a database, ArcSDE does not restrict users to inserting documents of the same codepage in a given XML column.

The following code snippets demonstrate how XML data is loaded using the C and Java APIs.
