1. A method for loading markup language data files and documents into a computer database, said markup language data files containing data items and elements, said database having an application programming interface for modifying contents of the database through database command statements, said method comprising the steps of:

  • parsing a markup language data file one element at a time according to a format description, each of said elements being immediately available for further processing without waiting for subsequent elements to be parsed;

    generating one or more database command statements immediately responsive to the availability of said elements such that said command generation and parsing occur substantially simultaneously;

    storing each of said generated database command statements in a database command statement queue immediately upon their generation; and

    executing said queued database command statements such that a database is updated substantially simultaneously with said step of parsing a data file in order to achieve loading of data from said markup language data file into a database.
