Functions of the XML Type
The following functions are inherited from open source PostgreSQL 9.2.
In all the following XML functions, when the GUC parameter xmloption is set to content, the value of encoding in the XML declaration can be ZHS16GBK. When the GUC parameter xmloption is set to document, the value of encoding in the XML declaration cannot be ZHS16GBK. If encoding is set to ZHS16GBK, an error is reported.
- xmlparse ( { DOCUMENT | CONTENT } value [wellformed])
Description: Generates XML values from character data.
Parameter: data of the TEXT type
Return type: XML
Example:1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
gaussdb=# SELECT XMLPARSE (DOCUMENT '<?xml version="1.0"?><book><title>Manual</title><chapter>...</chapter></book>'); xmlparse ---------------------------------------------------------- <book><title>Manual</title><chapter>...</chapter></book> (1 row) gaussdb=# SELECT XMLPARSE (CONTENT 'abc<foo>bar</foo><bar>foo</bar>'); xmlparse --------------------------------- abc<foo>bar</foo><bar>foo</bar> (1 row) gaussdb=# SELECT XMLPARSE (CONTENT 'abc<foo>bar</foo' wellformed); xmlparse ------------------ abc<foo>bar</foo (1 row)
- xmlserialize( { DOCUMENT | CONTENT } value AS type )
Description: Generates a string from an XML file.
Parameter: The type can be character, character varying, text, or any variant of them.
Return type: XML
Example:1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
gaussdb=# SELECT XMLSERIALIZE(CONTENT 'good' AS CHAR(10)); xmlserialize -------------- good (1 row) gaussdb=# SELECT xmlserialize(DOCUMENT '<head>bad</head>' as text); xmlserialize ------------------ <head>bad</head> (1 row)
If a string value is converted to XML without using the xmlparse or xmlserialize function, the XML OPTION session parameter determines the value, DOCUMENT or CONTENT. The XML OPTION session parameter can be set by the standard command.1SET XML OPTION { DOCUMENT | CONTENT };
Or use similar syntax to set this parameter.
1SET xmloption TO { DOCUMENT | CONTENT };
- xmlcomment(text)
Description: Creates an XML value that contains an XML comment with the specified text as the content. The text does not contain the "--" character and does not end with a "-" character. Besides, the text should meet the format requirements of XML comments. If the parameter is empty, the result is also empty.
Parameter: data of the TEXT type
Return type: XML
Example:
1 2 3 4
gaussdb=# SELECT xmlcomment('hello'); xmlcomment -------------- <!--hello-->
- xmlconcat(xml[, ...])
Description: Concatenates a list of single XML values into a single value that contains an XML content fragment. Null values are ignored, and the result is null only when all parameters are null. In database A-compatible mode, you can set a_format_version to 10c and a_format_dev_version to s2 to check whether the input segment is well-formed XML text.
Parameter: data of the XML type
Return type: XML
Note: Example 2 is a syntax example compatible with the A database.
Example 1:
gaussdb=# set xmloption=content; SET gaussdb=# select XMLCONCAT(('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="GB2312" standalone="no"?><bar>foo</bar>'),('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="GB2312" standalone="no" ?><bar>foo</bar>')) ; xmlconcat ------------------------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?><bar>foo</bar><bar>foo</bar> (1 row) gaussdb=# select XMLCONCAT('abc>'); xmlconcat ----------- abc> (1 row)Example 2:gaussdb=# SET a_format_version='10c'; SET gaussdb=# SET a_format_dev_version=s2; SET gaussdb=# SET xmloption=content; SET gaussdb=# SELECT XMLCONCAT(('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="GB2312" standalone="no"?><bar>foo</bar>'),('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="GB2312" standalone="no" ?><bar>foo</bar>')) ; xmlconcat ------------------------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?><bar>foo</bar><bar>foo</bar> (1 row) gaussdb=# SELECT XMLCONCAT('abc>'); ERROR: invalid XML document DETAIL: line 1: Start tag expected, '<' not found abc> ^ CONTEXT: referenced column: xmlconcat
In A-compatible database, if a_format_version is set to 10c and a_format_dev_version is set to s2, and the encoding attribute in the XML declaration is set to ZHS16GBK, the XMLCONCAT function reports an error.
- xmlelement( [ ENTITYESCAPING | NOENTITYESCAPING ] { [ NAME ] element_name | EVALNAME element_name } [ , xmlattributes( [ ENTITYESCAPING | NOENTITYESCAPING ] value [ [ AS ] attname | AS EVALNAME attname ] [ , ... ] ) ] [ , content [ [ AS ] alias ] [ , ... ] ] )
Description: Generates an XML element with the given name, attribute, and content.
Return type: XML

- For xmlelement and xmlattributes, when the value of name is NULL, the database behavior is different from that of the A database. When the name field of xmlelement is set to NULL, the name information is empty and the attribute information is not displayed. When the name field of xmlattributes is set to NULL, the attribute information is not displayed.
- After the following two parameters are set, the content escape rule of xmlelement is A-compatible. If the two parameters are not set, the content escape rule of xmlelement is PG-compatible.

gaussdb=# SELECT xmlforest('abc' AS foo, 123 AS bar); xmlforest ------------------------------ <foo>abc</foo><bar>123</bar>
- xmlpi(name target [, content])
Description: Creates an XML processing instruction. If the content is not empty, the content cannot contain character collations.
Return type: XML
Example:1 2 3 4
gaussdb=# SELECT xmlpi(name php, 'echo "hello world";'); xmlpi ----------------------------- <?php echo "hello world";?>
- xmlroot(xml, version text | no value [, standalone yes|no|no value])
Description: Modifies the attributes of the root node of an XML value. If a version is specified, it replaces the value in the version declaration of the root node. If a standalone property is specified, it replaces the value of standalone declaration in the root node.
Example:1 2 3 4 5
gaussdb=# SELECT xmlroot('<?xml version="1.1"?><content>abc</content>',version '1.0', standalone yes); xmlroot -------------------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?><content>abc</content> (1 row)
- xmlagg(xml [order_by_clause])
Description: Aggregates the input values called by the aggregate function and supports cross-row concatenation. For details about order_by_clause, see SELECT. In database A-compatible mode, you can set a_format_version to 10c and a_format_dev_version to s2. The xmloption parameter of the database is set to content by default. When xmloption is set to document, linefeed characters are used to concatenate multiple XML lines. If the encoding attribute value in the XML declaration is not the default UTF-8, the aggregation result contains the XML declaration.
Parameter: XML
Return type: XML
Note: Example 2 is a syntax example compatible with the A database.
Example 1:

- xmlexists(text passing [BY REF] xml [BY REF])
Description: Evaluates an XPath 1.0 expression (the first parameter) with the passed XML value as its context item. If the evaluation result generates an empty set of nodes, the function returns false. If any other value is generated, the function returns true. If the value of any parameter is null, the function returns Null. The non-null value passed as a context item must be an XML document, not a content fragment or any non-XML value.
Parameter: XML
Return type: Boolean.
Example:1 2 3 4 5
gaussdb=# SELECT xmlexists('//town[text() = ''Toronto'']' PASSING BY REF '<towns><town>Toronto</town><town>Ottawa</town></towns>'); xmlexists ------------ t (1 row)
- xml_is_well_formed(text)
Description: Checks whether the text is in the correct XML format and returns a Boolean value.
Parameter: text
Return type: Boolean.
Example:1 2 3 4 5
gaussdb=# SELECT xml_is_well_formed('<>'); xml_is_well_formed -------------------- f (1 row)
- xml_is_well_formed_document(text)
Description: Checks whether the text is in the correct XML format and returns a Boolean value.
Parameter: text
Return type: Boolean.
Example:1 2 3 4 5
gaussdb=# SELECT xml_is_well_formed_document('<pg:foo xmlns:pg="http://postgresql.org/stuff">bar</pg:foo>'); xml_is_well_formed_document ----------------------------- t (1 row)
- xml_is_well_formed_content(text)
Description: Checks whether the text is in the correct XML format and returns a Boolean value.
Parameter: text
Return type: Boolean.
Example:1 2 3 4 5
gaussdb=# select xml_is_well_formed_content('k'); xml_is_well_formed_content ---------------------------- t (1 row)
- xpath(xpath, xml [, nsarray])
Description: Calculates an XPath 1.0 expression, for example, xpath (a text value), on XML data. It returns an array of XML values corresponding to the node set generated by the XPath expression. If the XPath expression returns a scalar value rather than a node set, a single-element array is returned.
The second parameter must be a well formed XML document. Note that it must have a single root node element.
The optional third parameter of the function is an array of namespace mappings. This array should be a two-dimensional text array with the length of the second axis being equal to 2 (that is, it should be an array of arrays, each of which consists of exactly 2 elements). The first element of each array entry is the namespace name (alias), and the second element is the namespace URI. It is not required that aliases provided in this array be the same as those being used in the XML document itself (in other words, both in the XML document and in the XPath function context, aliases are local).
Return type: XML
Example:1 2 3 4 5
gaussdb=# SELECT xpath('/my:a/text()', '<my:a xmlns:my="http://example.com">test</my:a>',ARRAY[ARRAY['my', 'http://example.com']]); xpath -------- {test} (1 row)
- xpath_exists(xpath, xml [, nsarray])
Description: This function is a special form of the xpath function. It returns a Boolean indicating whether the query is satisfied or not (specifically, whether it produces any value other than an empty node set), instead of returning the individual XML values that satisfy the XPath 1.0 expression. This function is equivalent to the standard XMLEXISTS predicate, but it also provides support for a namespace mapping parameter.
Return type: Boolean.
Example:1 2 3 4 5
gaussdb=# SELECT xpath_exists('/my:a/text()', '<my:a xmlns:my="http://example.com">test</my:a>',ARRAY[ARRAY['my', 'http://example.com']]); xpath_exists -------------- t (1 row)

- For XPath-related functions, only XPath() and XPath_exists() are supported. These functions use the XPath language to query XML files and depend on the Libxml2 library, which is provided only in XPath1.0. Therefore, only XPath 1.0 is supported.
- The XQuery, XML extension, and XSLT functions are not supported.
- getclobval(xml)
Description: Converts an XML type to a CLOB type. This function is valid only when parameters a_format_version is set to 10c and a_format_dev_version is set to s4.
Parameter: The input parameter is of the XML type.
Return type: CLOB
Example:1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
gaussdb=# SET a_format_version='10c'; SET gaussdb=# SET a_format_dev_version='s4'; SET gaussdb=# DECLARE xmldata xml; result clob; BEGIN xmldata := '<a>123</a>'; result := getclobval(xmldata); RAISE NOTICE 'result is : %',result; END; / NOTICE: result is : <a>123</a> gaussdb=# SELECT getclobval(xmlparse(document '<a>123</a>')); getclobval ------------ <a>123</a> (1 row)
- getstringval(xml)
Description: Converts an XML type to a string. This function is valid only when parameters a_format_version is set to 10c and a_format_dev_version is set to s4.
Parameter: The input parameter is of the XML type.
Return type: VARCHAR2
Example:
gaussdb=# SET a_format_version='10c'; SET gaussdb=# SET a_format_dev_version='s4'; SET gaussdb=# DECLARE xmldata xml; result varchar2; BEGIN xmldata := '<a>123<b>456</b></a>'; result := getstringval(xmldata); RAISE NOTICE 'result is : %',result; END; / NOTICE: result is : <a>123<b>456</b></a> gaussdb=# SELECT getstringval(xmlparse(document '<a>123<b>456</b></a>')); getstringval ---------------------- <a>123<b>456</b></a> (1 row)
- xmlsequence(xml)
Description: Converts an XML parameter into an array of the XMLTYPE type. Each array element is an XMLTYPE object. The input parameter of this function cannot be null and must be a valid XML document. If the input parameter does not meet the requirements, the function returns a null value or throws an exception. This function can be used to process multiple child nodes in an XML document or split an XML document into multiple fragments.
Parameter: XML type.
Return type: Array of the XMLType type.
Example 1: If you want to convert this document into an array containing three elements, each of which is a book node, use the following statement:gaussdb=# SELECT xmlsequence(xml('<books><book><title>The Catcher in the Rye</title><author>J.D. Salinger</author><year>1951</year></book><book><title>1984</title><author>George Orwell</author><year>1949</year></book><book><title>The Hitchhiker''s Guide to the Galaxy</title><author>Douglas Adams</author><year>1979</year></book></books>')); xmlsequence ----------------------------------------------------------- {"<books> + <book> + <title>The Catcher in the Rye</title> + <author>J.D. Salinger</author> + <year>1951</year> + </book> + <book> + <title>1984</title> + <author>George Orwell</author> + <year>1949</year> + </book> + <book> + <title>The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy</title>+ <author>Douglas Adams</author> + <year>1979</year> + </book> + </books>"} (1 row)
If the XML file inputting the xmlsequence function contains double quotation marks, the result of the xmlsequence function contains escape characters of double quotation marks when you query the result of the xmlsequence function independently. The use of the xmlsequence function is not affected.
