As of AXMLS v1.0.1, the AXMLS documentation is now available online at http://adodb-xmlschema.sourceforge.net/docs.

Need to upgrade your app's database? axmls can now upgrade an existing database to match a provided XML schema. This has been tested on MySQL, and gives you an easy way to upgrade your application's database.

Coexisting databases? You can now specify a prefix that will be prepended to each table as axmls creates it. Indexes are automatically adjusted to reference the prefixed table names.
