    <p>About 3 years ago I also created an x12 parser, that parses x12 edi into xml. It is currently available as open source at <a href="http://x12parser.codeplex.com" rel="noreferrer">http://x12parser.codeplex.com</a>. The reason I did it this way was that I wanted the parsing part to not care about the the target, whether it was a database or perhaps flat files. It turns out that was valuable since some of the users used Oracle instead of Sql Server, and a lot of the users flattened it into flat files to load into their database or send to some downstream process. I think this has made the parser itself very flexible for many environments. The other reason I liked XML is because I was able to add other annotations that were valuable for anyone who didn't have all the EDI codes memorized (basically everyone), and I was able to transform it to HTML (see the site for an example) with those annotations. I also built in the ability to unbundle your objects into individual messages so that your post processing can consume then one object at a time. A lot of users have helped me optimize it so that it would handle huge files, so it's gotten pretty stable. I'm doing some maintenance on it now so that it will support all 4010 transactions. The part about parsing into the database I leave up to the user, because everyone seems to be very particular about how they design data tables (for example I couldn't agree with a co-worker on whether to use ints or GUIDs for table identities, those who lean toward DBA mentality prefer ints, those who use a lot of ORMs prefer GUIDs).</p> <p>Shortly after I posted this, I did add database support, so you can skip the XML and have it go directly to a SqL Server database. You can decide how many segment types will be parsed out into individual tables so that you don't bloat your database with 300 tables of which you will probably only use 10 or 20. There is a discussion here <a href="http://x12parser.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=SQL%20Server%20as%20a%20Staging%20Environment" rel="noreferrer">SQL Server as Staging Environment</a> about pros and cons of using xml or sql server as your intermediary to your final system.</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.
