text: user3015: I need to use these PMC tables from the medical journals for the purpose of integrating the data with a decision-making software. Though, I can see that one can access full-text for an article from PMC here (which includes the article table), but is there a way to extract the table from this XML document and export it to a local MySQL database or any other relational database?
  
  user4058: If you can use R, consider using web scraping.
