After generating a table into xml how can i save the result in a XML table?

Question

Hello everyone,
I’ve used this function to generate a table into XML schema :
example :
SELECT xmlelement("State", xmlattributes( 'http://www.opengis.net/gml' as "xmlns:gml"),
xmlforest(name as "Name", population as "Population")) from state;
result:
<Statexmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml">
<Name>Wilkopolska</Name>
<Population>35000</Population>
</State>
Now I need to insert the result into a XML table, because i need to save the result to use it latter ,I hope that someone can help and if there's other solution to do this it would be great.
Thanks a ot and best regards,
Lama.
