import old Notebook database to XML?

Beginner Question I have a large database in an old DOS text-database management format called Notebook (from Pro/Tem Software). I'd like to convert that old database into XML. Has anyone already done this with oXygen? Thanks, Ken

Hello Ken, For such an old database probably it is too much to ask for a JDBC driver. But if you can find an ODBC driver the conversion is very easy: the ODBC driver connects to the JDBC-ODBC bridge which can be set in <oXygen/> as the driver that fetches the data for the database import operation (menu File -> Import -> Database data). If the Notebook database is able to export data as plain text another way of conversion is to export the data as text and develop a custom XSLT 2.0 stylesheet for the conversion to XML.
