Thanks for your answer Andrew. I'm using PHP to get the data from the MySql and display the data.
I totally understand your first method with javascript data, but I don't really get how I can use the same query with the GDownloadUrl() function. I've checked out the function and it needs an external file. So basicly you would come to a solution which I described earlier in this thread (creating an physical XML file with a random hash as filename to make it unique). Is that correct? I'm leaning more to use the XML solution because in my view it's more clean than dropping all the javascript code for markers (+ info and icon).
