You don't say what this has to do with XSLT (the topic of this list).

If you're just asking this question in general, then my advice is to try to
ensure that the data goes into the database unescaped, then when pulling it
out to put into XML, use your own external process (script or function) to
escape "&" and "<", and quotes that are destined to be in attribute values
delimited by the same kind of quotes.
