I have XML files that I need to import but I have not worked with XML much. Can someone help with the best approach/syntax? Also, the XML input files are 3GB in size.

XML format:
<row id="2">
<account_num>41</account_num>
<log_header_id>1999999798</log_header_id>
<sequence_no>1</sequence_no>
<value>/957 ST GEORGE BARBER ROAD/./DAVIDSONVILLE MD</value>
<status>A</status>
<last_maintenance_dt>2012-05-17 11:21:17.123</last_maintenance_dt>
<last_maintenance_userid>rglacken</last_maintenance_userid>
<LOG_DETAIL_lock>0</LOG_DETAIL_lock>
<value_1>./957 ST GEORGE BARBER ROAD/./DAVIDSONVILLE MD 21035</value_1>
<value_2></value_2>
<value_3></value_3>
<value_4></value_4>
<repetition_no>0</repetition_no>
<binary_format></binary_format>
<value_binary></value_binary>
<value_text></value_text>
</row>

by import do you mean storing XML as it is? or do you mean shredding data from XML onto table fields like account_num,sequence_no etc?

WHats table to which you want to insert. show an example and explain what value should populate which column in table.
