Interesting... you know what, I actually had the same thought to compare XML with database and XSLT with SQL... Actually there was (is) a XML query language defined, although I don't think it gained any serious attention. More than SQL, which is just a set of command to manipulate the data in storage, XSLT is actully more similar to PL/SQL in terms of role. To be quite frank, comparing with database, i am not in favor of XML at all, and have the feeling that XML will go away after a while (of course everything goes away eventually, but XML is not a very big success, in terms of technology). Although XML is something new, but I can see lots of stuffs in it simply goes backwards. Performance and bandwidth are two biggest problems with XML, and I strongly believe they are XML built-in. (Well one can always call something XML, even after it being foundamentaly modified *enhanced*, but to me that does not count) What's your thought?
