in thread SQL -> XML Conversion

I agree it appears confused. My theory was to query the db once - convert to XML then use multiple XSLT passes to build whatever output format I needed be it HTML, CSV or different XML format. It works ok - but the important thing is that I now know a hell of a lot more than when I started

If you need them to be distributed by a web server, you could give AxKit a try. AxKit comes with the AxKit::XSP::ESQL taglib that you could use to query the database and output XML at your pleasure -which you could them make available as an HTML page or whatever format you like. If you are interested in AxKit and the ESQL taglib you could also take a look at this article: Fun with ESQL.
