It's a
feature... In fact, there is no way you'll get two columns with the same name in the same row (that is, two
fv_author fields), unless, of course,
XMLtoCursor could be able to produce a bunch of related cursors. The solution is to build your own method of reading the XML document and place the info inside the proper table (in this case, table
s, since you have a one-to-many relation in hands).
