Hi to everybody!

I'm trying to make the Bulk Load of an XML file with some tables and I
want to make SQL Server 2000 to assign a PK to a column determined in
the XSD file (I expecto to find an option that allows me to see the
key icon on a column when I click the Design Table option.)I've been
searching in the MSDN library and I haven't found anything. If anybody
had any suggerence it'd be very wellcomed.


These are the XML and XSD file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<IND_UNICO schemaVersion="1">
<DATOS NUM_DOC="3789">
<NOTARIO_ID>7</NOTARIO_ID>
<DOC NUM_OBJ="14" NUM_OPE="781" NUM_SUJ="587">
<DOCUMENTO_ID>555</DOCUMENTO_ID>
<OPE>
<OPERACION_ID>4052</OPERACION_ID>
<INMUEBLE>
<INMUEBLE_ID>44</INMUEBLE_ID>
<INMUEBLE_TIPO>casa</INMUEBLE_TIPO>
<INMUEBLE_VALOR>37000000</INMUEBLE_VALOR>
</INMUEBLE>
</OPE>
</DOC>
</DATOS>
<DATOS NUM_DOC="3791">
<NOTARIO_ID>9</NOTARIO_ID>
<DOC NUM_OBJ="17" NUM_OPE="784" NUM_SUJ="589">
<DOCUMENTO_ID>666</DOCUMENTO_ID>
<OPE>
<OPERACION_ID>3036</OPERACION_ID>
<INMUEBLE>
<INMUEBLE_ID>99</INMUEBLE_ID>
<INMUEBLE_TIPO>piso</INMUEBLE_TIPO>
<INMUEBLE_VALOR>46000000</INMUEBLE_VALOR>
</INMUEBLE>
</OPE>
</DOC>
</DATOS>
</IND_UNICO>


And this is the XSD file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Greetings,

Thank you for answering, Darren.

I let the XML Bulk Load to create the tables from scratch
because if I create them on my own and I assign the primary
key to a field I begin to receive a lot of errors about
NULL values (MS SQL Server complains about not being able
to insert nulls on the PK/FK fields).

Actually this .XSD file creates 5 tables from scratch:
tblINDICE
tblDATOS
tblDOCUMENTOS
tblOPERACIONES
tblINMUEBLES

and the columns are filled with the right values except for
those which are supposed to become the PK/FK (all the
parent-key/ child-key fields)

These PK/FK fiels are those defined in the sql:relationship
statement which, as it can be seen, start with the prefix
id. Unfortunately, with this Schema, XML Bulk Load only
fills these parent-key and child-key fields with NULL
values instead of the proper indexes. I guess I am doing
something wrong but after reviewing all the info at the
MSDN library, can't discover the source of this issue.

Do you (or anybody else) know an instruction to set a field
either as a PK or a FK from the XSD file?
I'd also be interested in knowing a way to avoid the NULL
autofilling of these PK/FK fields.


Thank you from beforehand,
David Grant
