A Bulk Load Configuration Files : XML Schema Definition for a Bulk Data Configuration File

XML Schema Definition for a Bulk Data Configuration File
The bulk configuration XML schema governs bulk configuration files. The bulk configuration files in turn govern bulk load data files that are processed by DataDirect Bulk Load.
DataDirect has published this schema at http://www.datadirect.com/ns/bulk/BulkData.xsd to provide a foundation for any third party functionality to be built using this DataDirect standard. It is anticipated that custom applications or tools that manage large amounts of data will employ this schema as a loosely-coupled DataDirect Bulk Load across ODBC, JDBC, and ADO.NET APIs and across multiple platforms.
If you want to generate CSV data that can be consumed by DataDirect Bulk Load, you must supply an XML Schema for your XML configuration file.
Each bulk operation generates an XML configuration file in UTF-8 format that describes the bulk data file produced. If the bulk data file cannot be created or does not comply with the schema described in the XML configuration file, an exception is thrown.
