    Importing XML data into SQL Server 2005

    Hi,

    We have an app in .NET with sql server 2005 backend and would need to
    import relatively huge amount of data from disparate providers on a
    nightly basis.

    What is the file format that is preferred and please help me understand
    why we need to go with a specific format? Is it XML, CSV, or anything
    else? We have been leaning towards using XML

    If it is XML, how can we a template for the XML file (is it the XSD
    schema file?) and pass it to the providers so that we can get formatted
    data without much discrepancies?

    Thanks in advance!

Working...
