If you are looking for a Postgres solution, then you can use xmltable for this:

select x.*
from the_table t
  cross join xmltable('/attachments/entry'
                      passing t.the_xml_column
                      columns file text path '@name') as x

This returns the value of the attribute name, if you want the file attribute, you need to change @name to @file

To select any element or attribute, you can use XPath:

SELECT 
    xpath('//entry/@file',xml)
FROM mydata

This returns an array of file attributes. You can extract them using unnest()

SELECT 
    unnest(xpath('//entry/@file',xml))
FROM mydata
