What kind of database entries do you have in mind? For me this sounds like you think of fields and rows in relational databases. > I want the final output to be HTML? IMO this is a totally different story. XML Query Languages should result in XML, whatever kind prefer: DOM or SAX or whatever there will be in the future. You should use some implementation of XSLT to transform the query result to HTML. Only with this you can ensure the separation of content, logic, and layout. > Does the database entries need to be in XML form? Not really. See the discussion about "What is an XML Database?" at the general mailing list. You have to distinguish between different types of database which provide possibilities of "XML storage". Oracle can also "store" XML. :-) > Since I'm a newbie here I don't know if this a functionality of QUILT, I > would appreciate your help. Quilt claims to be that.
