Hi I am trying to gather some information so I can learn what I need to do. My goal is to download an xml file from a sporting body, clean the file to remove useless/uneeded info and then consistently update it into the database to display on my site. Since the XML will only update a subset of my database tables, I am wondering how I create a consistent and reliable method of imoprting the data into my database. I am using nokogiri at the moment to play around with editing files, but what format and what requirements and tools do I need to acheive this?
