OK, I read up on ESQL and can see the database connection params and SQL. Is
this the way that I would read my XML from the database rather than from a
file?
How does this integrate with Cocoon?

Use the esql-Stylesheet with get-xml, with this you can put a XML tree
from the database in you xml stream generated by cocoon. The xml has to
be wellformed in the database.

Never tried.

Unfortunately XSLT has no date formatting functions. But you can use the
Java Core classes or you own classes for formatting in XSLT using the
java extension support in Xalan. It's the xalan-specific, of course. The
XSLT 1.1 Specs define a product-inpdependet extension support, but this
does not work in the current xalan-version used by cocoon 2. See
Xalan-Homepage on the apache website.
