insert data from xml page into mysql database

[mariaz]

Hello, I have an xml page, which is not saved in my computer but it is online, because it a feed of a website. I want to import the data from this xml page into a mysql database. Can anyone suggest some steps as to how I can do this?I need the database because I have to write queries about the data, that is why I am not using directly the xml.Thank you in advance!

You could query the xml directly, using xquery/xpath.

Otherwise, we need to know the application that is getting the xml to the mysql database. ASP? PHP?
It would probably involve creating a HTTPRequest object, pointing it to the page, and getting an xml response back as a string.
Then load it using XML Load functions in MySQL

I would prefer using java, if that is possible, because I'm using NetBeans and with java it would be easier for me, but I don't know if that's possible. Is there a useful tutorial for this kind of operation?
