XQuery is intended to occupy this sort of role for data stored as an XML
document or infoset.
Some recent tools may be able to intermix SQL to explore logical
relationships and XQuery to explore structure. I *think* the most recent
release of DB2 can do that, since it's a full relational database with
an XML infoset datatype rather than only supporting one or the other.
