Step 2: Configure Table & Field Mapping

  2. Map XML columns to MySQL fields (auto-mapping available)
  3. Set custom options: date format, NULLIF rules, load type (Replace/Append/Update/Upsert) 📷
  4. For Update/Upsert: Select key column (e.g., EMPLOYEE_ID) to match rows 📷

Step 3: Preview Data Before Import

  1. Preview first 10+ XML records to verify accuracy
  2. Adjust settings: skip rows, set error tolerance, configure log file path 📷
  3. Verify field mapping – avoid bad imports!

  2. View progress: total records, elapsed time, success/failure status 📷
  3. After import, directly view data in MySQL table within the tool

Typical Speed: 107 XML records imported in 0.031 seconds | Millions of rows in minutes.

Batch Import XML to MySQL – 2 Common Use Cases

Handle bulk XML imports with our specialized wizards – same simple process for all bulk operations:

Use Case 1: Multiple XML Files → Multiple MySQL Tables (N Files → N Tables)

Ideal for organizing related XML files into their own tables (e.g., countries.xml → countries table):

  1. Connect to MySQL, click Wizard → N Files To N Tables
  2. Select folder with XML files (filter *.xml, recursive folders supported)
  3. Auto-configure first XML file's structure (applies to all files)
  4. Map each XML file to corresponding MySQL table (auto-mapping for matching names) 📷
  5. Preview settings and select load type (Replace/Append)
  6. Bulk import – all files to their tables in one go 📷

Use Case 2: Multiple XML Files → Single MySQL Table (N Files → 1 Table)

Perfect for combining identical XML datasets into one table (e.g., 1.xml, 2.xml → employees table):

  1. Connect to MySQL, click Wizard → N Files To 1 Table
  2. Select folder with XML files (supports >4GB, recursive folders)
  3. Configure first XML file's structure (auto-applies to all)
  4. Select single target MySQL table and map fields (auto-mapping)
  5. Preview combined data and adjust settings
  6. Bulk import – merge all XML data into one table 📷

Update & Upsert MySQL Data from XML

Sync XML data with MySQL – no manual SQL queries required:

Update MySQL from XML

Overwrite existing MySQL rows with fresh XML data (match by unique key):

  1. Follow 1 File → 1 Table wizard (or bulk wizard)
  2. In Load Type, select Update and choose key column 📷
  3. Map XML fields to MySQL table fields
  4. Preview updated data and click convert

Upsert XML to MySQL (Insert + Update)

Insert new rows, update existing rows (match by key) – the ultimate sync mode:

  1. Follow standard import wizard
  2. In Load Type, select Upsert and choose unique key column 📷
  3. Map fields and preview data
  4. Click convert – auto-handles inserts and updates in one step

Automate & Schedule XML to MySQL Imports

Turn repetitive import tasks into automated, scheduled jobs (Windows/Linux/macOS):

Step 1: Save Your Import Session

  1. Complete XML to MySQL import/upsert/update in GUI
  2. Click Save Session to store all settings (paths, mapping, load type)

Step 2: Generate a Script for CLI

  1. Export saved session to .bat (Windows) or .sh (Linux/macOS) script 📷
  2. Run script via command line – no GUI required

Step 3: Schedule Recurring Tasks

Why automate? Eliminate manual work, ensure real-time sync, run imports in background.
