Create tables in SQL2K from XSD schema?

I am in need of some help!
Relatively new to the whole XML thing as far as SQL server goes...
I have an XSD schema that describes a bunch of tables with various
relationships. Is there a way for me to create tables and relationships based
on the XSD file.
I have tried the net but seem to be unable to find anything. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.

If at first you don't succeed... Hide the evidence that you tried!
In theory yes. Please see the link
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;316005. You have to
set SchemaGen property SQLXMLBulkLoad to true. BTW creating a schema from
hand is a very daunting task and I never able to make it work for complex
shcemas. Are you using some tool to generate the XSD shcema annotaion?

|||The schema was written using XMLspy by one of the guys at Agilent
technologies (HP) as part of one of their products... Unfortunately it is not
intended for use and therefore is not supported, but hopefully tested prior
to release!
Basically it is the definition of an xml output file from an analytical
instrument which I want to capture data from. Hence trying to create a
database based on its definition.
I'm using VB.net and desperately trying to find a namespace containing
sqlxml?!? I am probably being really stupid... which wouldn't suprise me!.
