Ok, may be the question is too long. Let's put it in short words.
I have this document:
<xml version="1.0">
<root>
<myelement attr1="val">
<myelement>
</myelement>
</myelement>
</root>
A template that process "myelement" tag would be:
<xsl:template match="myelement">
found element <value-of select="name(.)" />
</xsl:template>
This will process only the outer element and will never reach the inner
one ! is there a way I can process the nested "myelement " ?
Thank you.

For some reason, I find xslt and xpath techniques are easy to forget.
I believe I have done this before but couldn't remember exactly how.
Ok, I have an xml schema and trying to convert it to DDL (data
definition language) as SQL text.
For example, I picked this schema doc from the net
http://www.xml.com/lpt/a/691:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";>
<xs:element name="book">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="title" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="author" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="character" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="name" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="friend-of"
type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded" />
<xs:element name="since" type="xs:date" />
<xs:element name="qualification"
type="xs:string" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="isbn" type="xs:string" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
And All I am trying to do for now, is to create two tables, like this:
=========================================
CREATE TABLE book
( )
CREATE TABLE character
( )
=========================================
I have this template:
<xsl:template match="xs:element/xs:complexType/xs:sequence">
CREATE TABLE
<xsl:value-of select="../../@name" />
( )
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
It's doing what I want, but it's using recursive calls to apply to
inner complex elements. How can I do this without recursion? In other
words how to match elements in all depth?
Thank you.
