We propose a method to generate XML documents from relational databases by using nested relational algebra. Starting with a specification of the structure of the XML document, and a description of the database schema, we give an algorithm to build automatically a nested algebra query that will generate a nested view from the relational database; this view is isomorphic to the desired XML document, that can easily be generated from it. We discuss limitations of (and extensions to) the framework.
