Can XML Update more than One Table in one call?

Question

Hello,
I had a quick question. I have a client who is using both Oracle and SQL. They have an app developed in C sharp with XML whichs runs against SQL and want to port to Oracle.
In SQL one XML statment can update multiple Tables. Can we do that in XML in Oracle? I know, we can't do that using PL/SQL.

Anupama,
Thanks for offering your help. I have attached the sample code. It works fione on SQL. I need to make sure it works on Oracle as well.
