Export ODBC to XML
Looking to export data from ODBC to XML?
Advanced ETL Processor Enterprise provides everything you need to automate the data export without writing custom scripts. Visually map and transform your fields, then run the export immediately or schedule it to repeat automatically.

How to export data from ODBC to XML
There are two main methods for exporting data from ODBC to XML using Advanced ETL Processor. Both are easy to configure and can be automated to run on a schedule.
1. Using SQL To XML Dynamic Action
The SQL To XML Dynamic Action is the fastest way to generate XML output from your ODBC data source. It allows you to execute an SQL query and export the results directly into an XML file.
- Connect to any ODBC-compatible source such as MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, or PostgreSQL.
- Run custom SQL queries to define which data you want to export.
- Automatically format the output into a well-structured XML document.
- Schedule and automate exports at regular intervals.
- No scripting or manual XML mapping is needed.
2. Using Transformations for Complex Export Workflows
For more advanced needs, you can use Transformations. This method allows you to visually design a data flow that combines multiple ODBC sources, performs data validation, and outputs XML files ready for integration.
- Merge and transform data from multiple ODBC connections.
- Apply business logic, calculations, and validation rules visually.
- Customize the XML structure according to your application’s requirements.
- Generate multiple XML files in one process for different destinations.
FAQ
Can Advanced ETL Processor export ODBC to XML?
Yes. Advanced ETL Processor can read ODBC, apply transformations, write XML, schedule the export, and log the result.
Do I need to write scripts for the export?
No scripting is required for the normal export workflow. You can configure the source, output format, validation, and schedule visually.
Can the XML export run on a schedule?
Yes. The export package can run on a schedule, write the XML output, archive files, and keep the same validation rules each time.
Can row counts and failures be logged?
Yes. Add logging so row counts, rejected records, run status, and error details can be reviewed after each export.
What should I check before the first production export?
Check the source query, output columns, data types, date formats, file naming, overwrite rules, archive folder, and failure handling.
Can I export only selected ODBC records?
Yes. Use a query or filter so the export reads only the ODBC records needed for the file, report, dashboard, archive, or partner feed.
When should I not automate the export yet?
Do not automate it until the source query, output layout, file naming, and failure handling are clear. Automation repeats rules; it does not invent them.
Can I test the export before buying?
Yes. Download the fully functional 30-day trial, build one small export, and test it with a safe sample first.
