Is there a way to retrieve the results of an SQL query in XML? If so how? can you provide a short example and/or a link to a good site?
Is it also possible the RDBMS can handle the transformation to XHTML given the XSLT? Would I want to do this anyway? Can I not send a browser XML and the XSLT and it will do the transformation itself?
I am using PostgreSQL 8.4
Yes. Here: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/functions-xml.html, here: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/XML_Support and here: http://www.stylusstudio.com/sqlxml_tutorial.html.
It can using this: xslt_process(). Older browsers will not handle transforming with XSLT and IE as always does something differently but on the other hand you can offload the processing to the client.
