This is second article in a series for LexBlog to
Sitecore. You can refer first article for LexBlog basics from here.
This second article is about creating SQL server database
for LexBlog, mapping details and required script.
We will migrate content from LexBlog XML file to Sitecore
in two phases as
Phase-I
=> From LexBlog XML to SQL Server
Phase-II
=> From SQL Server to Sitecore
 |
| LexBlog To Sitecore |
From LexBlog XML to SQL Server
We can store this XML file to any database but in our
case we have to store in SQL server. We need to create database for holding
this information.
Here is a schema diagram for holding these Lexblog XML
file details as
Database Schema
 |
| Database Schema for LexBlog |
Tables Details
Author –
Store all authors of blog site
Category –
Store all categories of this blog site
Item_Author –
Store authors details mapping for particular articles
Item_Category –
Store categories details mapping for particular articles
Item_Tag –
Store tags mapping details for particular articles
MainItem – This
is main table which store blog article related details
Tag –
Store all tags for this blog site
Title_Description –
Store only title and description of this blog site.
Scripts
We need tables and stored producers for holding LexBlog
details. You can run below scripts for the same.

XML and SQL Mapping Details
In previous sections, we walk through with XML file, its different
sections along with database schema and tables.
Let see how to map XML files fields with database tables.
Basic details are mapped as
 |
| LexBlog Basic Details Mapping with SQL Server |
Authors are mapped as
 |
| LexBlog Authors Mapping with SQL Server |
Categories are mapped as
 |
| LexBlog categories Mapping with SQL Server |
Tags are mapped as
 |
| LexBlog Tags Mapping with SQL Server |
Blog items contains article description along with its
associated tags, categories and authors. So this is the main table of this
LexBlog migration process. So here is mapping of this XML section with SQL
tables as
 |
| LexBlog Items Mapping with SQL Server |
That’s it for the part II. In next part I, will walk
through with our strategy for moving this LexBlog Site into SQL Server and Sitecore.
I hope you like this Sitecore lesson. Stay tuned for more
Sitecore related articles.
Till that happy
sitecoring :)
