Re: [ba-ohs-talk] relationships -> graph tool?


I have a hunch that if you download TouchGraph 
http://touchgraph.sourceforge.net, and play with his applet demo, the one 
that loads an xml file, you will see a way to write some code that reads 
rows in a table and writes an xml file of a similar design.  I did just 
that in my latest project, a Java Wiki.    (01)
