Re: XML

If it's a servlet calling the database in your example, the below can
be accomplished through the use of procedures which create the XML in
question and return it.

Ie.  select xmlGetUser(userid);

You have to write xmlGetUser() to take in the userid and return the
xml required for it.  I see no advantage to generating the xml in the
db rather than in the servlet.

Soap or XML-RPC on the other hand could be a useful tool for the
database to understand directly -- but thats certainly not going to be
fast.
