Hi Eric, Not necessarily. If you're up for trying PostgreSQL, their XML functionality works *really* well. http://www.throwingbeans.org/tech/postgresql_and_xml.html I haven't tried using anything but selects on this, but in theory using a simple SQL update query with an XPath you could edit your data. The link above is a bit dated, but I think the code to make XPath 1.0 work with SQL queries is shipped with the Postgres source in the contrib/ directory.
