Can't use SELECT/CONNECT BY with GETXML

Question

Hi!
If I use CONNECT BY option in the select I get the following error.
<error_result>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleSQLException: ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
Are there limitations?? Can I user PL/SQL procedure codes to achive this and generate XML?
Please HELP
Roger

Hi Steve!
PLEASE HELP.. This post is regarding getXML and generating XML from PL/SQL stored procedure. I looked at your reply on another post and example of looping cursor but how do you generate XML out of the following code you demonstrated previously.
DECLARE
-- Nested, parameterized cursor
CURSOR empCur( d NUMBER) IS
SELECT ENAME, EMPNO
FROM EMP
WHERE DEPTNO = d;
BEGIN
FOR d_rec IN (SELECT DEPTNO, DNAME FROM DEPT) LOOP
dbms_output.put_line('DEPTNO='| |d_rec.deptno);
dbms_output.put_line('DNAME='| |d_rec.dname);
FOR e_rec IN empCur(d_rec.deptno) LOOP
dbms_output.put_line('EMPNO='| |e_rec.empno);
dbms_output.put_line('ENAME='| |e_rec.ename);
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
END;
Many thanks
Roger
