Hi all,
Can anyone tell me whether there is any querying system that allows
query results to be output in XML. The data that I am dealing with is
ordinary relation data, so this is not a question on how to store XML
documents into postgresql. I am not trying to save XML documents into the
DB. What I would like is if I could run an SQL-like query and the output
would be an XML document.
E.g. suppose I have a database of Music CDS, there would be a table for the
CD, a table for the Artist, a table for the Track. There would be further
tables to join them together, e.g. CD_Artist and CD_Track. The output of a
query would be something like this:
<CD>
<TITLE>CD TITLE</TITLE>
<ARTISTS>
<ARTIST>artist1</ARTIST>
<ARTIST>artist2</ARTIST>
<ARTIST>artist3</ARTIST>
<ARTIST>artist4</ARTIST>
</ARTISTS>
<TRACKS>
<TRACK>Track Title 1</TRACK>
<TRACK>Track Title 2</TRACK>
<TRACK>Track Title 3</TRACK>
<TRACK>Track Title 4</TRACK>
<TRACK>Track Title 5</TRACK>
</TRACKS>
</CD>
I have had a look at LXP but I would prefer something that sits closer to
the actual DBMS. As I understand it, LXP is a scripting language that is
executed by Apache.
Does anyone know of such a system. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Rishabh
