Hi Paul, No personal experience trying to do this myself, but I did some searching and found at least one group of people that did try and succeeded. See: http://aa.uncwil.edu/dl/documents/designing%20the%20ims%20database3.doc Some wise words from Dr. Tom on the subject: http://www.imsglobal.org/drtomimplement.cfm More generic info about XML and relational databases: http://www.rpbourret.com/xml/XMLAndDatabases.htm The info should at least get you past the creation of the tables, relations etc. (I hope).
