XML pages from Databases

[G. Hussain Chinoy]

Currently, we use the WDDX DTD that comes with Allaire's ColdFusion 4.0 to
read ODBC available databases (Oracle, Access, MSSQLserver) and convert
them to XML (in the WDDX format). 

I then use an XSL transformation to convert it into a more human readable
XML format.
