I have searched google for answers and have gone down a few paths of
investigation.... But being a newbie I am rapidly getting confused and
this should essentially be a very simple task.
What I need is some advice on the best way to go about this problem.
We are needing to generate XML documents for a migration into a new
system from an existing database.
I looked into the ruby builder library, but couldn't see too many
examples outside of rails to build the XML up from a template. I know I
can put together a rails app to use an rxml template etc, but going down
that path seems to much effort for this....
I have a template of the xml I need to upload, what I need is to
populate that template for each db record. What is the simplest, best
ruby way to export from the db into xml?

I had mostly discounted the rails option but it seems to be the best way
to control the actual output, as there is a bit of processing that needs
to be done on the data.
I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing the easy way to do this
rather than wrap a framework like rails around a simple db export ruby
script!
Well, if it is just a single and static template you could even use
string interpolation to do the job. Certainly faster than REXML but
YMMV.
Kind regards

Great - thanks for the responses!
