The *database* does that, or an add-on query tool does that?
It'd be trivial to implement an add-on for mysql (xmlmysql, a
command-line tool maybe) which would do it. But making the database
server itself do it seems rather, uh... strange.
I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but I just don't see the utility in
it. Can someone who would use such a feature explain how and why?
Seeing as how folks ask about this once in a while, I'm more than a
bit curious at this point.
Thanks,
Jeremy
