you can save it like any other text. make sure the encoding of the file and the database matches.

im using this function to save to a file.

{
_variant_t varString = strFileName;
    parser->myComPtrDocument->save(varString);
    return true;
}

now i want to store this file to an existing database using void pointer ,

of course you have to. use the database functions your language provides. which are basicly 2: one for connecting and one to execute the query.

there is a number of databases that supports XML natively, one of their data types exactly XML when in simple databases maximum you could have is TEXT only. You want to deal with XML in database naturally you have two ways one is to use XML enabled databases like Microsoft SQL 2005/2008 or IBM DB2 (both of them have free Express editions) or use native XML databases like Berkeley DB XML (unfortunately was acquired by Oracle), Sedna, MarkLogic...
