Read in XML data from web site

  • I have found much information about opening an xml document that is on disk (i.e. c:\my.xml). However I have not found how to open xml from an http provider such as http://myxml.somserver.com/givememy.xml. Any suggested reading? I basically want to consume xml data from the web then process it as if it were a file on my disk.

    I have searched for about 20 minutes and I must not know a keyword as I am not finding anything.

  • You could use SQL CLR to access a remote resource directly from the Database Engine, but sooner or later you might end up reinventing elements that are already available in SSIS.

    Have you considered using a SQL Server Integration Services package for this?
