Can XSLT take datasource other than XML

Hi,

I am working on a graduate project - importing/exporting data from/to XML
documents to/from a relational database using XSLT. The advantage may be
that using XSLT is easier than using DatabaseDOM API. Regarding the
importing data from XML to database, how XSLT can call JDBC to make the
connection to the database? Another question is if XSLT can take other
datasource other than XML for exporting data from database. I am exploring
the solutions, so any thoughts are appreciated.
