The XSL transform file you are refering to renders the XML file nicely
in browser memory. You can use a stand-alone tool to actually
transfrom the XML into HTML file.
If you are using Windows you probably want to use the Microsoft
provided tool:

If you are using Linux/Unix there are a whole bunch of different tools
to do the job.

Creating an SQL schema that captures the essence of Nmap XML data in a
useful and easily queryable structure is non-trivial. You may want to
look into projects that have allready done most of the hard work for
you (PBNJ, http://insecure.org/nmap/SoC/HostedScan.html, etc).
