If I just disable error reporting across my website am I safe from anyone discovering the information in my SQL databases?
also, would this prevent XSS attacks completely?

Turning off error reporting is to preventing database injection/XSS attacks as closing your eyes is to preventing getting mugged. Nothing protects you from attacks like actually going through your code and covering up each individual security risk manually (whether that’s blacklisting
exec()-type commands, using prepared statements, timeouts, those too-many-failed-tries-counters, whatever it may be).
