This is not a quick solution, perhaps, but you may want to look at the newest release of Saxon (currently 8.3). It seems to have as well developed queries as anything, though anything other than very simple usage will require some scripting at the very least. The sample file from the installation instruction in the manual looks like it is database based.
Go to: http://www.Saxonica.com, you want the "b" (free) version initially. There is a link on the saxonica site to sourceforge where you can get the download.

I have a couple of questions about XML. Actually, I am not sure if XML is the right programming language to use.
I have a database ready to go, but I would like to put it on the web for people to use. I was thinking about linking the db to an xml file then creating an html page that will pull the information from the xml file. But something tells me that this is not the simplest way to do things.
I know another way I can do things, which would be completly different and more complex, using a db and C# linking it to an html page extracting the C# and the db from a few lines of javascript. Not pretty!
If anyone has some suggestions or knows a good tutorial I am all ears!!! or eyes actually :)
