Alright. If I understand it correctly, your goal is to write an XML data interchange layer between your application and the (open) database.
You have two ways to go - One is to write such an utility yourself in Java/C++ whatever is your language of choice. Simply get the resultset and format it as an XML document. The advantages of using a home-grown utility is that it will give you better control over performance tuning, customization etc. It can be closely tied to your business processes. The downside however, is that you may be spending time and money in reinventing the wheel.
The second option is to investigate what XML support is offered by the vendor. Oracle has extensive support, but I am not sure about other popular vendors like Sybase. Vendor products always integrate better with other tools/services offered by them when compared with frameworks developed in-house.
Hope this gives you something to think about
