DBE_XMLGEN

API Description

The DBE_XMLGEN system package converts the result of an SQL query into a standard XML format and returns the result. For details about all supported APIs, see Table 2 DBE_XMLGEN.

Table 1 DBE_XMLGEN data type

Type

Description

DBE_XMLGEN.CTXHANDLE

Data type used to store the XML output status.

  1. A maximum of 65,535 context handles can exist in a session. Closing the context handle does not reclaim the number.
  2. The case of the table column and type in the output XML file is the same as that of the table field and type created by the user. If you need to write a large field and type name, use double quotation marks ("") to enclose the field and type name.
  3. During NEWCONTEXTFROMHIERARCHY initialization, the SETNULLHANDLING, USENULLATTRIBUTEINDICATOR, and SETCONVERTSPECIALCHARS methods are used to set this parameter, but the setting does not take effect.

  • DBE_XMLGEN.NEWCONTEXTFROMHIERARCHY

    Initializes the context handle with recursive elements.

    The data format must contain two columns. The first column is of the numeric type, and the second column is of the XML or XMLTYPE type. Generally, the value is generated by the connect by statement. The first column specifies the generation level.

    The number of nested layers in the generated XML file cannot exceed 50 million.
