I have database in MYSQL, from its two table , I want to create XML.

I extracted the data from the table A using active record and that  
data can be saved in another table in the form of XML also.

But inside the extracted data, I want to replace ids with the name  
provided in table B.

But the customizing the XML is notworking . Please help me on this.

Thanks

Generate a view myview.xml.builder (notice the builder extension at  
the end) or in Rails \< 2 .rxml and use builder to generate your xml.
