John,
I wonder if this might be better accomplished with an external application server of some type (except on Oracle, but then, substantial XML functionality ships with 8i+). Sapdb has an unpublished extension mechanism allowing one to author stored procedures in C++. If it were available, it would seem attractive for your application. The Sapdb team has stated it will not document how to format such procedures (COM-format C++ classes evidently; they use Windows development tools, though I suspect with GCC 2.95.2+ this is no longer strictly necessary) until an unspecified point in the future. I've been looking for an excuse to study this part of the Sapdb code, but it hasn't come up yet...
