Dynamic Changing of XML Content

You can use database triggers to fire other events--for example, writing a
file or running an application. The question I have for you is: Can you
isolate or have you isolated the xml contents from the remainder of the
page? In other words, do you need the XML throughout the page, or is the XML
content limited to a specific area, such as the contents of a table or
control?

If you can isolate it, you should be able to create an XSL stylesheet that
creates the "dynamic" portion of the page, and create a static HTML file (or
a separate stylesheet) that contains the "static" portion of the page. That
static portion would have an SSI (server-side include) command to insert the
dynamic content at request time. Use the database trigger to write the XML
file and run the transform.

There are other methods you could use to accomplish the same thing if you're
using a server-side technology such as ASP, JSP, PHP, or ASP.NET.
