Hmmm...  63 tables sounds like a lot for your situation.  Sounds like you 
may have created multiple tables with the same kind of information rather 
than having one table with a column identifying the kind of information 
(and a second table defining the identification).

There are classes out there that'll dump database query results into XML.  
I know my SQL Solution does that.  There have got to be others, probably 
even in PEAR.

BUT, what's the point?  Databases are for handling data.  I see XML's role 
as being a means of transferring data between parties.
