If you are confortable using LINQ, try this:

var name = "Title";
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(path);
var selectors = (from elements in doc.Elements("Database").Elements("Table")
                where elements.Attribute("name").Value == name
                select elements).FirstOrDefault();
var list = selectors.Elements("Column").ToList();
var id = list[0];
var title = list[1];
