postgresqlHow do I use a PostgreSQL XML parser in an example?
PostgreSQL provides an XML parser for parsing XML documents.
To use it in an example, you can use the xmlelement
function to construct an XML document from a set of values. The following code block shows an example of how to use it:
SELECT xmlelement(name "root",
xmlelement(name "child1", 'value1'),
xmlelement(name "child2", 'value2'))
The output of the above code is an XML document with two child elements, child1
and child2
, with the values value1
and value2
respectively:
<root><child1>value1</child1><child2>value2</child2></root>
You can also use the xpath
function to extract data from an XML document. For example, the following code block shows how to extract the value of the child1
element:
SELECT xpath('/root/child1/text()',
xmlelement(name "root",
xmlelement(name "child1", 'value1'),
xmlelement(name "child2", 'value2')))
The output of the above code is value1
:
{value1}
