I'm a new user of BaseX and would like to get myself up to speed with development as quickly as possible.Hope to get some pointers from the experts here, as I'm still picking up the concepts required in the use of XML Databases.

I am experimenting with porting over some content from an existing RDBMS project to BaseX and would like to know how to go about doing it. I have already designed a XML schema based on my RDBMS model and would like to know how I can quickly go about populating the database in BaseX. Just a few quick questions here:

1. How should I go about creating the tree structure and its nodes (i.e. elements with attributes)? I'm a little confused (perhaps because I'm trying to approach it from a RDBMS perspective).

2. Is there a quick way to populate the database from some existing data sets (i.e. CSV or text files)?

Thanks!

Regards,

Roy
