## XML connections

An XML connection contains relational data which is transformed from an XML data source.

JReport Designer supports parsing of the schema from XML instances, or importing them from XSD and then transforming them to relational tables. The tables can then be added to the current connection from the transformed relational tables and accessed in the same way as JDBC-supplied tables.

This section describes the following tasks:

- Importing an XML schema
- Transforming an XML schema to a relational schema
- Setting up an XML connection
- Managing tables in an XML connection
