procedure disableDefaultTables(xmlschema in out xmltype)
as
SCHEMA_DOM DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMDOCUMENT;
SCHEMA_ELEMENT DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMELEMENT;
NODELIST DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMNODELIST;
ATTRLIST DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMNODELIST;
ELEMENT_ELEMENT DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMELEMENT;
DEFAULT_TABLE_ATTR DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMATTR;
begin
SCHEMA_DOM := DBMS_XMLDOM.newDOMDocument(xmlSchema);
SCHEMA_ELEMENT := DBMS_XMLDOM.getDocumentElement(SCHEMA_DOM);
NODELIST := DBMS_XMLDOM.getChildrenByTagName(SCHEMA_ELEMENT,'element');
FOR i in 0 .. (DBMS_XMLDOM.getLength(NODELIST) - 1) LOOP
ELEMENT_ELEMENT := DBMS_XMLDOM.makeElement(DBMS_XMLDOM.item(NODELIST,i));
DEFAULT_TABLE_ATTR := DBMS_XMLDOM.getAttributeNode(ELEMENT_ELEMENT,'defaultTable',xdb_namespaces.XDBSCHEMA_NAMESPACE);
if DBMS_XMLDOM.isNULL(DEFAULT_TABLE_ATTR) then
DEFAULT_TABLE_ATTR := DBMS_XMLDOM.createAttribute(SCHEMA_DOM,'xdb:defaultTable',xdb_namespaces.XDBSCHEMA_NAMESPACE);
DEFAULT_TABLE_ATTR := DBMS_XMLDOM.setAttributeNode(ELEMENT_ELEMENT,DEFAULT_TABLE_ATTR);
end if;
end loop;
end;
