I am looking for a program, script or web service that can take one XML file as input, and build a relational database from it (schema + populating it). Ideally, MySQL, MariaDB or Postgres.
Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X or Linux are ok. Any license and price is fine.
Two examples of XML files (they both have the same structure):
Convert XML to a relational database
I am looking for a program, script or web service that can take one XML file as input, and build a relational database from it (schema + populating it). Ideally, MySQL, MariaDB or Postgres.
Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X or Linux are ok. Any license and price is fine.
Below is what I came up with using the Microsoft SQL Server method since you said "Microsoft Windows" would be ok. Please note that I'm not familiar with taking XML data from a file and having it import the schema or column definitions so I did have to map this out a bit to create the table and the OPENXML logic to tell it which elements and attributes to import, and it also needs to know how to traverse the XML nodes and so on too. As long as your XML files are consistent, you should be able to easily expand (or adjust) on this since for the most part, I've done the hard part of it already.
I based the below logic on the smaller sample data only (~ (< 1 MB)), and below is some TSQL logic you can use from SQL Server Management Studio to import the data from the XML file(s) somewhere on the network or a local drive.
I did try to make this dynamic SQL to be able to execute and just loop through multiple XML files, but due to all the XML elements, attributes, and correlated logic, there were issues with limits of bytes in a dynamically executed query so I didn't have enough time figure out a workaround.
Since this is based on the smaller sample data only, if there are more nodes in the other data than this logic will build for certain fields (e.g. ../../MeshHeadingList/MeshHeading/DescriptorName having 23 nodes in the smaller file), then the logic will need to be adjusted to accommodate accordingly.
1. Create the table
Run the below logic on the DB you want to create the table that'll import the data from the XML file(s). If you want the table name to be something different than MedlineXMLDataImport then change that in the below logic (where is shows CREATE TABLE MedlineXMLDataImport () to the table name you wish to make it.

2. Import the XML data
Run the below logic on the same DB you created the table on from Step #1 above. Again, if you want the table name to be something different than MedlineXMLDataImport then change that in the below logic as well to the correct table name (where it shows INSERT INTO MedlineXMLDataImport).
Additionally, you will need to plug in the full explicit path and the file name of the file you wish to import with the below logic so you will need to point that to the file you are running this against (where it shows FROM OPENROWSET(BULK '\\server\folder\Test.xml',). The path can be a local path or a UNC path as long as you have access to it from the SQL Server instance you run the query. Unfortunately, you will have to change this part of the logic's value per file you run it against with the way this logic works since I couldn't get it to loop through a folder with multiple XML file with dynamic SQL logic execution as above I briefly mentioned.
Please note that the way this logic is setup, it will allow you to run and import the same data from the same XML files more than once and give you duplicated records in the table so keep this in mind in case it's of importance to you. So if it is, once you import the data, you may want to move the file over to an imported folder or something along those lines.

You can easily convert XML or JSON to MariaDB / MySQL using Flexter. Have a look at this blog post that shows how to convert TransXchange XML to MariaDB.
Flexter will auto-generate the target schema and keys for you and then auto-populate the schema with the XML data. It also comes with an API for programmatic conversion.
You can also try it for free https://xmlconverter.sonra.io/
Importing and Processing data from XML files into SQL Server tables,there are different ways to achieve this task of importing data from an XML file into a SQL Server table,one of easiest ways to accomplish this task is importing data into SQL Server and then parsing the XML into a relational format.
Import XML data from an XML file into SQL Server table using the OPENROWSET function.
Parse the XML data using the OPENXML function.
Examples of Bulk Import and Export of XML Documents (SQL Server) https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191184.aspx
An online tool called 'SQLizer' exists (I work here) which can take XML (or JSON & XLS) and convert it into MySQL table definitions and insert statements. It will also make some intelligent guesses about the column types (INT, VARCHAR, etc).
It's free for small files and $10 for large files.
