You're question is a bit unclear but if you want to work with XML using the SQL Server, I'd suggest going through these concepts: Implementing XML in SQL Server[^]

If you simply want to ha the results of a query as XML, have a look at: FOR XML[^]

Solution 1

This[^] is how google works. You can also just write code that shapes the data in to XML manually if you prefer.

C#

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
            SqlDataAdapter ad = new SqlDataAdapter(selectCommandText,Connection);
            ad.Fill(dt);
            dt.WriteXml("D:\myfile.xml");
