Create a channel that uses a DB as the source. Add your query to the SQL Stmnt section:
Set up a new output message as XML:

Create a new mapping function for your custom script.

Here is some example code that will add the data from 'DBColumn1' of the source query into a <DBColumn1> XML node:
var value = source.getNode('DBColumn1');
message.setNode('/root/DBColumn1', value);
message.formatXML(3);Because database sources provide a CSV message, the Recipes in QIE Help also have useful CSV mapping examples.
