I've created a database using phpmyadmin and want to update it through external live xml feeds. Is this possible?

I also want to create my own xml feed from the dynamically updated database, how do I go about doing that?

Any tips, hints or advice will be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks!

Okay, here's an update.. figured out how to create a dynamic XML feed from the DB but is it possible to populate the database from external live XML feeds?

Sure, anything is possible. Grab the feed, parse it using your server-side scripting language, and manipulate the database table(s) accordingly.
