Proximity allows you to import data from other databases using a three-step process:
Export the data to the specified tabular format.
Convert the data to the Proximity XML import format.
Import the XML data into Proximity.
See
$PROX_HOME/doc/user/text2xml/text2xml.txt for a
specification of the required file format and instructions for using
the text2xml.pl
script to transform tabular data to
the Proximity XML import format.
To import XML data into Proximity, follow the procedure described in Exercise 3.1 to create and initialize the MonetDB database and import the data.
