Hi all,

I have an XML schema (actually a class diagram exported to .xsd) that  
I’d like to store in a database. I’m not interested in using it for  
ORM, I just want to store the structure. For

```
 Auto
  |

```

I don’t want to persist “Skylark” or “Explorer”, just the entities,  
attributes, and relationships (and documentation).

I should mention this structure will be changing frequently for the  
forseeable future.

Any ideas,

Todd
