You need to read the article that explains the whole object relational mapping paradigm that is used in xmldbms. It is quite ingenious. This will explain why there are so many fields created to reperesent the xml data in a relational database. The link to the article is: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/05/09/dtdtodbs.html

This might work for what you are looking for. I have used it to extract data from a database and convert it to xml and then import the xml into another database. It has support for multiple databases.
