    <p>I've always found validation against a schema to be an invaluable ward against thinkos and would like to incorporate validation checks as part of a project where I frequently need to hand-write XML files a few hundred lines in length. My text editor has a fairly nice CLI integration feature, so I'm looking for a command-line validator.</p> <p>When I didn't find any clear winners via Google, I poked around here and found a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/124865/xml-schema-validation-tool">similar question</a>, but none of the tools suggested there quite fit my needs:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://xmlsoft.org/xmllint.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">libxml</a> (via cygwin) — does not report line numbers; I have no idea <em>where</em> my errors are!</li> <li><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms763742%28VS.85%29.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">msxml</a> — cannot be run from the command line?</li> <li><a href="http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">xerces-c</a> — seems to require a copy of Visual C?</li> <li><a href="http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">xerces2-j</a> — cannot be run from the command line?</li> <li><a href="http://xmlstar.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">xmlstarlet</a> — insufficient XSD support*</li> </ul> <p>(*The schema I'm validating against uses substitution groups — inappropriately, but it's external to the project, so I can't change it — which causes <code>xmlstarlet</code> to choke even on valid files.)</p> <p>Normally, this is the point in solving a problem at which I'd give up on looking for an existing solution and reach for the Python-hammer, but Python's XML support is notoriously… well… actually, let's just leave it at "notorious".</p> <p>So I'm back to looking for a pre-existing tool. My requirements are pretty simple:</p> <ul> <li>runs on Win32 (Windows XP SP3, specifically)</li> <li>command-line; my editor can work with just about any combination of stdin/-out/-err, arguments, temp files, etc.</li> <li>reasonably complete XSD support (particularly namespaces and substitution groups)</li> <li>reports the line number where the error occurred!</li> </ul> <p>Does such a tool exist? I'd prefer not to have to install Visual Studio and friends (too bloated, IMO), but I do already have both Cygwin and Python installed.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
