If these people really work with hierarchically structured data, let
them try a hierarchical database (even though PostgreSQL is your
favourite database). They will profit 100fold from the advantages such a
database has for such data. I now several biologists specialized in
taxonomy (which is by nature hierarchically structured) and they all use
a hierarchical database for their data.
If these people want to output relational data in a hierarchical way
(eg XML), they will have to learn sql (to manage their data in a
relational database) and some xml library (in Perl, PHP, ASP or whatever
they like most) to transform what the database outputs into the way they
want it to look. Especially such people are quick learners and stating
they can't do that is simply unbelievable. Anyway there should always be
some IT guy in the neighbourhood to help them out. I suppose that would
be you.
Once again, don't try to let your sportscar fly. While it probably can
be done, using a plane is so much more logical.
