I was afraid of using bash terminal but now I have and I converted the gramps xml to regular xml, very pleasing. I imported it into Access (sorry I cant be expected to change over night) and the results were not all that I had hoped for. Lots of tables with disconnected list. I still have my work cut out. Thanks Nick It is not because it is xml that the data structure becomes simple. If what you want is an sql database, then obtain the development branch http://gramps.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gramps/branches/geps/gep-013-server/ It contains info in http://gramps.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/gramps/branches/geps/gep-013-server/src/gen/web/README?view=markup about export of GRAMPS data to mysql, postgresql or sqlite. You set up the database environments, then run the export tool from GRAMPS and you have a complete SQL database. Those sql environment have their own GUI to work with to run queries. You could write forms on top of that then, but that branch also has a django webapp that queries the sql and shows data via a webserver-browser setup. This development branch might or might not be integrated with the 3.2 release beginning of 2010, depending on the fact if sufficient people help with the development.

It can works even in internet browser thru plugins. XML is quite self-explanatory. Zorba (http://www.zorba-xquery.com) provide python bindings for XQuery. -- Josip ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
