Hi,

	I am trying to refer to my type of "string" "int" "enum" defined in say
MyDefintions.xsd, this type is made of Type complexType. ( Names are kept
same for the reason/sake of compatibility and matching against database
tables). I am grouping them in < xsd:group... > tag and providing it as a
<xsd:choice.. in my root element of table.

After defining my types ( ie. int, string, boolean) i would like to use them
in the xsd elements i am declaring ahead for usage. I would like to know how
do i handle the namespace problem out here. Also it seems that
targetnamespace only takes URI  and does not refer to current dir by default
first. I would like to know an alternative to this too.

Some of the xsd and xml excerpts are as follows which have the problems.

types.xsd
