namespace

[Carmen Sei]

the follows defined -
xmlns:xsd
xmlns:sql

namespace, does that means we are only using XSD tags + SQL tags?
Other tags are invalid?

Will XML editor like XMLSpy actually goes to the URL and get the tag
list of each namespace??

Since when I use the XML editor, it automatically give me hint for the
tags / attribute to type.

Does the tag list stores in the schema located on the web??

================

<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:sql="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:mapping-schema">

<xsd:element name="station" sql:relation="stations" >
<xsd:complexType>

<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="callSign" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="name" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="affiliate" type="xsd:string" />
</xsd:sequence>
<xsd:attribute name="id" type="xsd:integer" />
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>

<xsd:element name="map" sql:relation="lineups" >
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:attribute name="station" type="xsd:integer" />
<xsd:attribute name="channel" type="xsd:integer" />
<xsd:attribute name="from" type="xsd:string"
sql:field="fromdate" />
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>

</xsd:schema>

No, namespaces are just labels.

No. That would have been useful but impracticable.

Yes, that's what an XML editor is for.

Does the tag list stores in the schema located on the web??

Yes. That's what a Schema is for.
