It Depends on how the database stores and retrieves information and what
language it uses to get data out. You'll have to read up on each one -
some do it some don't - some get information back a a standard result
set some come back as a new xml document.
For example:
Xindices seems to use Xpath and Xupdate
(which I am not all that impressed with)
http://xml.apache.org/xindice/guide-developer.html#Using+XPath+to+Query+the+Database
eXist uses XQuery
(which is much cooler but looks crazy)
http://exist-db.org/xquery.html
Berkeley DB XML's Query Processor
(implements XPath 1.0. - whatever)
http://www.sleepycat.com/products/xml.shtml
Ashpool XML Database uses SQL and XPath
(can't do joins and is somewhat limited)
