From XSQL how to convert to XSLFO?

Question

From XSQL, after applying xsl style sheet now all i can produce is a html or excel file output.
Instead of that can i produce XSLFO file and redirect this to another XSQL page to produce PDF output?
Please assist!
Many Thanks.

Here is a small PL/SQL block that we have used to convert varchar2 to blob.
declare
cursor get_blob is
select blob_statement
from report
where report_id = 205
FOR UPDATE OF blob_statement;
v_loc blob;
v_raw_buffer raw(32767);
v_amount binary_integer := 32767;
v_offset binary_integer := 1;
v_buffer VARCHAR2(32767);
begin
open get_blob;
fetch get_blob into v_loc;
close get_blob;
v_buffer := 'Sample text';
v_raw_buffer := utl_raw.cast_to_raw(v_buffer);
v_amount := utl_raw.length(v_raw_buffer);
dbms_lob.write(v_loc, v_amount, v_offset, v_raw_buffer);
commit;
end;
