    Hello guys,

    I'm stuck with one thing and need your help.

    I have a .xml file I want to conver to a .db file. The most close I never came with Advanced XML Converter was a .db f file, but it didin't work. Any ideas?

    Paid apps are welcome if they will work, I could pay to fix this.

    the xml can represent anything, and the db is not a specific format.

    what app created the xml, what app should read the db file?

    Ahh, the .xml is a import of text messages from my Android Phone (HTC Sensation) and .db is the format iPhone accepts to import text messages.

    I don't know if this is enough, but I thought .db was a 'standar' format?

    you have to find out what that .db format is before you can do anything. If you have a sample, try to open it with a simple editor like notepad to see if it is just some plain text file format first.

    beside, there is really NO STANDARD for file extension. readme.xml can easily be virus.exe which is one way to infect computer.

    Actually, I have over 14 000 + messages, so that is out of the question. Also, I'm going from Android to iPhone. Not the other way around.. That would be easy actually..

    Both is human readable without any editor/program. But sure they are diffrent...

    Do you want me to upload a example of both?

    I understand that. What i'm saying is, open the .db file for your iphone, and insert the data from your android messages using this sql tool, and then re-upload the db to your iphone.
