It's worth noting that you can do some of this in SQL Server 2000, using the
OPENXML function and XPath queries to work with XML data, and using FOR XML
to return XML data. Of course, you won't be able to run that on your TiBook
without VPC.

Not to mention actual limited-license copies of Oracle database server
software.
