EXporting data to xml file

Dear all,
I've got a table of which I would need obtain a XML file. How do I such
thing?
I mean, instead of to obtain a .DAT or .CSV from that table as it customary,
a xml.
Any advice or though woud be greatly.
Regards,just adding for xml clause gives output in xml format
select * from <table> for xml. However this has lot of options too.
BOL has this example
CREATE VIEW p AS
SELECT od.OrderID,
pr.ProductName,
od.Quantity,
od.UnitPrice,
od.Quantity * od.UnitPrice AS total
FROM Products AS pr
JOIN
[Order Details] AS od
ON
pr.ProductID = od.ProductID
And then write the SELECT statement:
SELECT c.CompanyName,
o.OrderID,
o.OrderDate,
p.ProductName,
p.Quantity,
p.UnitPrice,
p.total
FROM Customers AS c
JOIN
Orders AS o
ON
c.CustomerID = o.CustomerID
JOIN
p
ON
o.OrderID = p.OrderID
FOR XML AUTO

Also undestand that the XML that is produced is an XML fragment not an valid
XML document. You'll need to add a XML tag and a root element.
