Answer 1

The command line client that comes with MySQL has a --xml option: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysql-command-options.html#option_mysql_xml

If the output format of that does not match what you need, you could just select the data out and concatenate it with your xml tags:

select concat('<field1>',field1,'</field1><field2>',field2,
'</field2>') from table

Answer 2

mysqldump --xml test > test.xml

or

mysqldump -X test > test.xml

mysqldump to xml

Answer 3

For a single table

mysql --xml -u username -p database_name table_name > table_name.xml

For a query

mysql --xml -u username -p database_name -e 'select * from table_name' > query.xml

For the whole database

mysqldump --xml -u username -p database_name > database.xml

Answer 4

phpMyAdmin has an Export to XML function in it. You could either use that, or examine the code to see how they did it.

Answer 5

SQLyog also does a good implementation of exporting data to XML...
