It's acomplicated subject. You can have:

1. A database that stores XML.
2. An intermidiatory language such as PHP changing data from the database output to an XML document for transmission. Then the reverse happening at the other end. This allows for differring databases to work on a standard set of XML data.
3. A database of flat XML files where PHP or something similar does the updates/inserts as SQL would do in a database. There's no reason why PHP couldn't take an SQL statement and apply it to a set of XML documents.

Best thing to do is read the mammoth XML and Databases to find out more.
