There is more than one way to do it, and choosing the right way will
not require "any programming skill", however it will require a lot of
"reading skills", because I'm going to direct you to a resource with a
lot of information about this issue. The site is:
http://rpbourret.com/
It's a "must" for you, especially its main part, the part that
discusses everything about databases and XML:
http://www.rpbourret.com/xml/
and especially^2 the first 2 links:
http://www.rpbourret.com/xml/XMLDatabaseProds.htm
http://www.rpbourret.com/xml/XMLAndDatabases.htm
Of course, you are not going to implement an XML-native DB (although
there are some Open-Source options, like Apache's Xindice and the dual-
license product of SleepyCat), but a layer over MySQL/PostgreSQL; Even
after limiting yourself to this, you will find that there are many
options, and you are the only one to choose the right one for you, that
will fit your needs.
I've never implemented XML over MySQL or PostgreSQL, but according to
this site, I guess that you need tools like XDB (zvon.org), XpSQL, etc.
In addition, the owner of the site developed his own library for this
purposes, IIRC.
I want to witness that this site has been an invaluable source of
information for me for a long time.
I hope this response doesn't cause too much damage ;-)
