  • Generating Nested XML Documents

    Hi,
    We want to generate nested XML documents from sql queries using pl/sql.
    If the output of the query is
    EMPNO NAME MGRNO
    1 Super Admin 0
    2 Mgr1 1
    4 SubMgr1_1 2
    5 SubMgr2_1 2
    3 Mgr2 1
    6 SubMgr1_2 3
    then XML generated should be in the format
    Super Admin
    Mgr1
    SubMgr1_1
    SubMgr2_1
    Mgr2
    SubMgr1_2
    Your early response is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    No, the id is not unique, it is part of the data. Also, I don't need to update the XML document.
    I store the data part (id, status, nodenum) in the "resp" table with a primary key as a combination of id and some other info. The table "nodes" will have a foreign key and multiple occurrences of node. Same with table "restricts" with multiple restrict.
    Do I need to create a DOM tree then store each part of the XML into appropriate tables? And how do I do that? (which APIs, etc.)
    Thanks,
    Thuvan

    Hi, Fateh
    One possible way is to use XML functions to create your XML.
    Using XML functions you can do the IMAGES as an XMLAGG subquery rather than join to the image table.
    Here's an example using SCOTT schema:
    SQL> select xmlelement(
      2            "ROWSET"
      3          , xmlagg(
      4               xmlelement(
      5                  "ROW"
      6                , xmlforest(
      7                     d.deptno as "ID"
      8                   , d.dname as "NAME"
      9                   , (
    10                        select xmlagg(
    11                                  xmlelement(
    12                                     "ImgUrl"
    13                                   , 'http://the.server.com/'||e.empno
    14                                  )
    15                                  order by e.empno
    16                               )
    17                          from scott.emp e
    18                         where e.deptno = d.deptno
    19                     ) as "Images"
    20                  )
    21               )
    22               order by d.deptno
    23            )
    24         ) the_xml
    25    from scott.dept d
    26    /* joins to the other tables EXCEPT image table */
    27  /
    THE_XML
    <ROWSET><ROW><ID>10</ID><NAME>ACCOUNTING</NAME><Images><ImgUrl>http://the.serverThat output is an XMLTYPE column (think of it as a CLOB with added functionality ;-) )
    My SQL*PLUS cuts the output, but believe me, it is all there.
    Just to show it, here's the same example wrapped in an XMLSERIALIZE function to pretty-print the XML:
    SQL> select xmlserialize(
      2            content
      3            xmlelement(
      4               "ROWSET"
      5             , xmlagg(
      6                  xmlelement(
      7                     "ROW"
      8                   , xmlforest(
      9                        d.deptno as "ID"
    10                      , d.dname as "NAME"
    11                      , (
    12                           select xmlagg(
    13                                     xmlelement(
    14                                        "ImgUrl"
    15                                      , 'http://the.server.com/'||e.empno
    16                                     )
    17                                     order by e.empno
    18                                  )
    19                             from scott.emp e
    20                            where e.deptno = d.deptno
    21                        ) as "Images"
    22                     )
    23                  )
    24                  order by d.deptno
    25               )
    26            )
    27            as varchar2(4000)
    28            indent size=2
    29         ) the_xml
    30    from scott.dept d
    31    /* joins to the other tables EXCEPT image table */

    </ROWSET>For a webservice you do not need to pretty-print the XML that is returned by the webservice.
    I do not know APEX, so I do not know if APEX supports exposing an allready built piece of XML rather than exposing a query result.
    But my guess is that it should do it very nicely if you query an XMLTYPE datatype (that is - use the first of my examples rather than the pretty-printed one.)
    If you can't get APEX to do it this way, then I suggest you try asking in the APEX forum rather than the SQL forum ;-)

  • How to generate nested xml from a resultset

    there is a table which contains two field:key and fatherkey.
    like this:
    key fatherkey
    node1 root
    node2 node1
    node3 node2
    a tree can be builded from the table by recursion of key and fatherkey.
    now I want to use this table to generate a xml buffer.
    like this:
    <nodes>
    <node>
    <key>node1</key>
    <fkey>root</fkey>
    <node>
    <key>node2</key>
    <fkey>node1</fkey>
    <node>
    <key>node3</key>
    <fkey>node2</fkey>
    </node>
    </node>
    </node>
    </nodes>
    if oracle special sql --"Connect by" can be used ,it is so easy.
    but I can only use ansi sql.
    how to generate the xml?

    hehe, I solved it by JDom!
    source code is :
    public StringBuffer loadInitResource()
    Vector theOrphans = new Vector();
    StringBuffer theInitRes = new StringBuffer();
    Element root = new Element("NODES");
    String xsql = "SELECT KEY,FATHERKEY FROM TABLE1";
    ResultSete m_rs = stmt.executeQuery(xsql);
    try{
    while(m_rs.next())
    Element theNode = new Element("NODE");
    Element theFLD = new Element("ID");
    theFLD.addContent(m_rs.getString(1));
    theNode.addContent(theFLD);
    theFLD = new Element("SID");
    theFLD.addContent(m_rs.getString(2));
    theNode.addContent(theFLD);
    if("Root".equals(theNode.getChildText("SID").trim()))
    root.addContent(theNode);
    else if(x_setFatherRes(theNode, root))
    System.out.println("find");
    else
    theOrphans.addElement(theNode);
    Element theNode;
    int nIndex;
    boolean isDo = false;
    while(theOrphans.size()>0)
    System.out.println("find the orphan!");
    isDo = false;
    for(nIndex = 0;nIndex < theOrphans.size();nIndex++)
    theNode = (Element) theOrphans.get(nIndex);
    if(x_setFatherRes(theNode, root))
    theOrphans.remove(nIndex);
    isDo = true;
    System.out.println("found the orphan!");
    break;
    if(!isDo)
    System.out.println("some nodes could not be loaded!");
    break;
    //OutputStream out=new FileOutputStream("e:/XMLFile.xml");
    Document doc = new Document(root);
    XMLOutputter outputter = new XMLOutputter();
    outputter.setEncoding("GB2312");
    //outputter.output(doc,out);
    theInitRes = new StringBuffer(outputter.outputString(doc));
    catch(Exception e)
    m_error += e.toString() ;
    return theInitRes;
    private boolean x_setFatherRes(Element theSon,Element theFather)
    boolean isOK = false;
    String sFatherSID = theFather.getChildText("ID");
    if(sFatherSID != null)
    if(theSon.getChildText("SID").equals(sFatherSID.trim()))
    theFather.addContent(theSon);
    isOK = true;
    if(isOK)
    return isOK;
    Iterator iterator = theFather.getChildren().iterator();
    while(iterator.hasNext())
    Element theFather2 = (Element) iterator.next();
    isOK = x_setFatherRes(theSon,theFather2);
    if(isOK)
    break;
    return isOK;
    enjoy it!

  • Generate nested XML using OracleXMLQuery generates error

    Hello,
    I have oracle 8.1.6 with XSQL 1.0.4 and need to generate XML out of a query that contains the // init the OracleXMLQuery
    OracleXMLQuery qry = new OracleXMLQuery(conn, query);
    // shape the XML doc generated
    qry.setMaxRows(2); // set the maximum number of rows to be returned
    qry.setSkipRows(3); // numbers of rows to skipped
    qry.setRowsetTag("MYDOC"); // set the tags encapsulating the whole doc
    qry.setRowTag("RECORD"); // sets the row separator tag
    qry.setRowIdAttrName("cnt"); // sets the id attribute of the row element
    qry.useNullAttributeIndicator(true); // use attr. to indicate nullness
    qry.useUpperCaseTagNames(); // use upper case tag names
    qry.setErrorTag("ERR"); // tag for errors writen to XML doc
    XMLDocument myXMLDocument = (XMLDocument)qry.getXMLDOM();
    PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
    myXMLDocument.print(out);
    out.close();null

    I have exactly the same problem by using XSU.
    If somebody solve it already ?
    David, can you please provide more information or small example, how can I extract OracleConnection or Oracle Specific Driver inside the Weblogic App. Server and not generic weblogic.jdbc.rmi.SerialConnection instance.
    I'm using Oracle thinDriver on Oracle8i.
    Thank you in advance.
    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by David G:
    have seen similar problems with wrapped jdbc driver being passed into Weblogic pool service and then cast back into OracleDriver after getting it back from Weblogic's JNDI DataSource lookup ...the Oracle extensions do not seem to survive Weblogic's jdbc pool services handling. I have gone over to running all my connection pools in Oracle's own namespace jdbc_access:// for JNDI lookups on DataSource pools instead. Much happier. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    As I recall from my 8i days (it's been many years), the only way to do this is to install the XML XDK. From http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/xml/xdk/xdk_java.html, it says "The Oracle9i versions of the XDK can also be used to build applications designed to interface with Oracle8i databases." I had thought the 10g version could do that as well but I'm not seeing it now.
    Since XMLType was not part of 8i, you will need to use PL/SQL to take your Select statement results and build them into a DOMDocument structure.
    Hope that helps.

  • Generating Deeply nested XML from a flat file

    Hi All,
    I am working on a MQ to IDOC scenario.
    I am getting a flat file as input. I need to convert it into XML( so that XI can understand it).
    But conversion is into a "Deeply Nested XML from a Flat File" at sender side (JMS Adapter).
    Any inputs on this.
    Regards,
    Vikas

    You can only convert flat file into xml structure with 3 levels.
    If you need to convert flat file into deep nested xml structure, you have to do java mapping or xslt or abap mapping. There is a tool, I think it's called conversion agent by itemfield (bought by SAP), which can do pretty everything with conversion. Never used it though.

  • Nested XML Output in PL/SQL

    I need to generate XML that looks like this:
    <Person>
    <Name>
    <FirstName>IMA</FirstName>
    <MiddleName>ANOTHER</MiddleName>
    <LastName>TEST</LastName>

    <City>AnyWhere</City>
    <State>Confusion</State>
    <Zip>99999</Zip>
    </Address>
    </Person>
    I was able to sucessfully generate it in SQL by creating a view using this code:
    create or replace view person_xml_view as
    select
    xmlelement("Person",
    xmlelement("Name",
    xmlelement("FirstName", first_name),
    xmlelement("MiddleName",middle_name),
    xmlelement("LastName",last_name),
    xmlelement("BirthDate",to_char(date_of_birth,''MM/DD/YYYY''))),
    xmlelement("IDDetails",
    xmlelement("SSN",b.external_number),
    xmlelement("OtherID",a.mni)),
    xmlelement("PhysicalDetails",
    xmlelement("Weight",a.weight),
    xmlelement("EyeColor",a.eye_color),
    xmlelement("HairColor",a.hair_color),
    xmlelement("Sex",a.sex),
    xmlelement("Race",a.race),
    xmlelement("SkinTone",a.skin_tone)),
    xmlelement("SocialDetails",
    xmlelement("Ethnicity",ethnicity),
    xmlelement("Language",language)),
    xmlelement("Address",
    xmlelement("Street",c.address),
    xmlelement("City",c.city),
    xmlelement("State",c.state),
    xmlelement("Zip",c.zip)))
    as result from
    names a,
    numbers b,
    addresses c
    where
    (a.mni = b.mni (+) AND
    b.number_type (+) = 'SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER') AND
    (a.mni = c.mni (+) AND
    c.current_address_flag (+)= 'T') AND
    a.MNI = 19781);
    My end goal is to write a function that returns the XML back to the caller, but when I the dbms_xmlgen I can't get the sub-tags to be inserted correctly. Here's the code as it is today:
    FUNCTION GETXML
    ( v_pk IN Number)
    RETURN xmltype as out xmltype;
    ctx dbms_xmlgen.ctxhandle;
    BEGIN
    ctx := dbms_xmlgen.newcontext('select a.first_name as "FirstName",
    a.middle_name as "MiddleName",
    a.last_name as "LastName",
    to_char(a.date_of_birth,''MM/DD/YYYY'') AS "BirthDate",

    where
    (a.mni = b.mni (+) AND
    b.number_type (+) = ''SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER'') AND
    (a.mni = c.mni (+) AND
    c.current_address_flag (+)= ''T'') AND
    a.MNI = '||V_MNI);
    dbms_xmlgen.setrowsettag(ctx,'Person');

    dbms_xmlgen.setrowtag(ctx,'Address');
    out := dbms_xmlgen.getxmltype(ctx);

    END;
    How do you do the nested tags?

    Hi,
    Here is simple way of genrating nested XML.
    FUNCTION GETXML
    ( v_pk IN Number)
    RETURN sys.XMLType
    CURSOR C1
    IS
    xmlelement("Person",
    xmlelement("Name",
    xmlforest(first_name as "FirstName",
    middle_name as "MiddleName",
    last_name as "LastName",
    to_char(date_of_birth,''MM/DD/YYYY'') as"BirthDate"),
    xmlelement("IDDetails",
    xmlforest(b.external_number as "SSN",
    a.mni as "OtherID")),
    xmlelement("PhysicalDetails",
    xmlforest(a.weight as "Weight",
    a.eye_color as "EyeColor",
    a.hair_color as "HairColor",
    a.sex as "Sex",
    a.race as "Race",
    a.skin_tone as "SkinTone")),
    xmlelement("SocialDetails",
    xmlforest(ethnicity as "Ethnicity",
    language as "Language")),
    xmlelement("Address",
    xmlforest(c.address as "Street",
    c.city as "City",
    c.state as "State",
    c.zip as "Zip")) as result
    from
    names a,
    numbers b,
    addresses c
    where
    (a.mni = b.mni (+) AND
    b.number_type (+) = 'SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER') AND
    (a.mni = c.mni (+) AND
    c.current_address_flag (+)= 'T') AND
    a.MNI = 19781);
    v_xml sys.XMLType
    BEGIN
    open c1;
    fetch c1 into v_xml;
    close c1;
    return v_xml;
    END
    In short use xmlforest to genrate inner child tags.

  • Nested XML from recordset problems.

    Hi
    I have been struggling with this for a while now and desperatley need som help!
    I'm trying to create a nested spryregion that looks like this:'
    http://www.soulkompetens.se/utbildningar.php#
    Problem with that page is that it only works in Safari (mac). Firefox the encoding does not work (questionmarks instead of åäö).
    Windows explorer does not work at all .
    So I started to work wit the http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/utils/query2xml.html page to try to generate the xml.
    The XML should be something like:
    <DOCUMENT>
      <ROW0>
        <UTBILDNING_ID>22</UTBILDNING_ID>
        <RUBRIK>Värdegrunden som bas för affärsutveckling</RUBRIK>
        <ROW1>
          <INGRESS>Värdegrunden som bas för affärsutveckling, diskrimineringsgrunderna</INGRESS>
          <ID>17</ID>
         <TEXT></TEXT>
          <DATUM>0000-00-00</DATUM>
        </ROW1>

          <DATUM>0000-00-00</DATUM>
        </ROW1>
    </ROW0>
    </DOCUMENT>
    I get the XML from two joined Tables in the database.
    Sql looks like:
    select utbildning_rubrik.utbildning_id, utbildning_rubrik.rubrik, utbildning.ingress, utbildning.ID, utbildning.text, utbildning.datum
    from utbildning_rubrik, utbildning where utbildning_rubrik.utbildning_id = utbildning.utbildning_id
    order by utbildning_rubrik.utbildning_id, utbildning.ingress
    Now! How do I generate the XML with "query to xml".
    I have been trying a lot of things an my head is spinning around
    Can anybody help me please.
    Regards
    Olle

    Thank you for the answer.
    I think I am close. But there is something wrong wit the nesting of the nodes and repeating.
    Here is the code:
    <?php
    mysql_select_db($database_SOUL, $SOUL);
    $query_rsImages = "SELECT utbildning_rubrik.utbildning_id, utbildning_rubrik.rubrik, utbildning.ingress, utbildning.ID, utbildning.text, utbildning.datum FROM utbildning_rubrik, utbildning WHERE utbildning_rubrik.utbildning_id = utbildning.utbildning_id ORDER BY utbildning_rubrik.utbildning_id, utbildning.ingress";
    $rsImages = mysql_query($query_rsImages, $SOUL) or die(mysql_error());
    $row_rsImages = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsImages);
    $totalRows_rsImages = mysql_num_rows($rsImages);
    // Send the headers
    header('Content-type: text/xml');
    header('Pragma: public');       
    header('Cache-control: private');
    <?php echo('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>'); ?>
    <DOCUMENT>
      <?php if ($totalRows_rsImages > 0) { // Show if recordset not empty ?>
        <ROW0>
        <UTBILDNING_ID><?php echo $row_rsImages['utbildning_id']; ?></UTBILDNING_ID>
        <?php do { ?><RUBRIK><?php echo $row_rsImages['rubrik']; ?>
      <ROW1>
            <?php do { ?><INGRESS><?php echo $row_rsImages['ingress']; ?></INGRESS>
            <TEXT><![CDATA[<?php echo $row_rsImages['text']; ?>]]></TEXT><?php } while ($row_rsImages = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsImages)); ?>
            </ROW1>
            </RUBRIK><?php } while ($row_rsImages = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsImages)); ?>
            </ROW0>
       <?php } // Show if recordset not empty ?>
    </DOCUMENT>
    In the other php document consuming the xml I have
    ds1.setColumnType("RUBRIK", "html");
    So the main problem with this is I dont know php so good that I can repeat the nodes to my choise.
    I neew it to be
    ROW0>
      <UTBILDNING_ID></UTBILDNING_ID>
      <RUBRIK></RUBRIK>
      <ROW1>
        <INGRESS></INGRESS>
        <TEXT></TEXT>
        <DATUM>/DATUM>
      </ROW1>
      <ROW1>
        <INGRESS></INGRESS>
        <TEXT></TEXT>
        <DATUM></DATUM>
      </ROW1>
    </ROW0>
    <ROW0>
      <UTBILDNING_ID></UTBILDNING_ID>

    Can you help?

  • Producing nested xml with querying attributes from a nested table

    How can one produce nested xml querying columns from a nested table? Looking at the object documentation, I can readily unnest the tables. Using your examples in the book, unnesting is select po.pono, ..., l.* from purchaseorder_objtab po, table (po.lineitemlist_ntab) l where l.quantity = 2;
    what if I don't want to unnest and don't want a cursor. I would like to produce nested xml.

    Gail,
    Although you can use XSU (XML-SQL Util) in 8.1.7, I would recommend that you upgrade to 9i for much better support (both in functionality and performance) of XML in the database. For example, in Oracle9i there are:
    - a new datatype - XMLType for storing and retrieving XML documents
    - DBMS_XMLGEN package and SYS_XMLGEN, SYS_XMLAGG functions for generating XML document from complex SQL queries
    - A pipelined table function to break down large XML documents into rows.
    You can check out some examples using SYS_XMLGEN and DBMS_XMLGEN for your specific needs at http://download-west.oracle.com/otndoc/oracle9i/901_doc/appdev.901/a88894/adx05xml.htm#1017141

  • Nested XML Feed

    Hello,
    I use Oracle 11g R2 SOE....
    I have two main tables
    COMMERCIALS_PROPERTIES (com_id number PK , com_size number, project_id number, com_type number)
    COM_PHOTOS (ID number PK , com_id number FK, content blob, mimetype varchar2)
    Please, note the following has nothing to do with my problem:
    CONTENT and MIMETYPE columns. Also, the lookup tables: PROJECTS , COM_TYPE
    In APEX ( Application Express ) we can expose a report as RESTful web service in XML format:
    I am using this query to generate the XML 1 feed, but I need to tweak the query to generate XML 2 feed.
    Is it possible, how to do it ???

    SQL query to generate Nested XML

  • Generate prov.xml for Creative Cloud. Return Code 27

    We're trying to follow this guide (Creative Cloud Help | Using Adobe Provisioning Toolkit Enterprise Edition) to serialize a package (or something). We're stuck on generating prov.xml. My best attempt at an entry is:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP\utilities\APTEE>adobe_prtk.exe --tool=VolumeSerialize --generate --serial=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx --regsuppress=ss --eulasuppress --locales=en_US --provfilepath=C:\Program Fil
    es (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\CCP
    It says half of this is optional, but I'm skeptical.
    Anyway, I'm getting return code 27. This indicates that it is unable to edit the prov.xml file specified. I didn't specify a prov.xml file, I'm trying to make one. The syntax I'm using differs from what I found on the page I linked, as that was giving me syntax errors. I lifted this off someone else's code. I've tried just about every variation I can think of. Any help would be appreciated.
    This is on Windows

  • Using a variable value in CDATA for generating an XML type in Oracle

    Hello,
    I have prepared a function given below where I have some input variables & I have to generate one XML with those input variables as tag attribute value:
    create or replace function NEW_PROJECT_DETAILS
    ( p_ReferenceId in varchar2 ,
    p_Project_No in varchar2,
    p_Project_Name in varchar2,
    p_Project_Desc in varchar2 ,
    p_Project_Type in varchar2,
    p_Project_Location in varchar2,
    p_Project_Status in varchar2 )
    return xmltype
    as
    payload xmltype;
    begin
    dbms_output.put_line('Payload Started');
    payload:= xmltype('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <ProjectDetails>
    <RefID>'||p_ReferenceId||'</RefID>
    <ProjectNo>'||p_Project_No||'</ProjectNo>
    <ProjectName>'||p_Project_Name||'</ProjectName>
    <ProjectDesc>'||p_Project_Desc||'</ProjectDesc>
    <ProjectType>'||p_Project_Type||'</ProjectType>
    <ProjectLocation><![CDATA[p_Project_Location]]></ProjectLocation>
    /* <ProjectLocation>'||p_Project_Location||'</ProjectLocation> */
    <ProjectStatus>'||p_Project_Status||'</ProjectStatus>
    </ProjectDetails>');
    dbms_output.put_line('Payload Comp1');
    return payload;
    end;
    This procedure works absolutely fine.
    Now the problem which I am having is that the variable p_Project_Location has value like "6747:BBO&M SBV".
    Due to the '*&*' in that value I have to use CDATA. But i dont know how to pass this variable directly in the CDATA in the XML.
    Please help me with this asap.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Divya Aggarwal

    Hi,
    If you absolutely want to use a CDATA section, then :
    payload:= xmltype('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <ProjectDetails>
    <RefID>'||p_ReferenceId||'</RefID>
    <ProjectNo>'||p_Project_No||'</ProjectNo>
    <ProjectName>'||p_Project_Name||'</ProjectName>
    <ProjectDesc>'||p_Project_Desc||'</ProjectDesc>
    <ProjectType>'||p_Project_Type||'</ProjectType>
    <ProjectLocation><![CDATA['||p_Project_Location||']]></ProjectLocation>
    <ProjectStatus>'||p_Project_Status||'</ProjectStatus>
    </ProjectDetails>');Alternatively, you can escape non valid characters with DBMS_XMLGEN.CONVERT, e.g. :
    payload:= xmltype('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <ProjectDetails>
    <RefID>'||p_ReferenceId||'</RefID>
    <ProjectNo>'||p_Project_No||'</ProjectNo>
    <ProjectName>'||p_Project_Name||'</ProjectName>
    <ProjectDesc>'||p_Project_Desc||'</ProjectDesc>
    <ProjectType>'||p_Project_Type||'</ProjectType>
    <ProjectLocation>'||dbms_xmlgen.convert(p_Project_Location)||'</ProjectLocation>
    <ProjectStatus>'||p_Project_Status||'</ProjectStatus>
    </ProjectDetails>');which outputs :
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <ProjectDetails>
    <RefID>1</RefID>
    <ProjectNo>1</ProjectNo>
    <ProjectName>PRJ1</ProjectName>
    <ProjectDesc>This is project 1</ProjectDesc>
    <ProjectType>P</ProjectType>
    <ProjectLocation>6747:BBO&amp;M SBV</ProjectLocation>
    <ProjectStatus>S</ProjectStatus>
    </ProjectDetails>Any basic XML parser should then convert back escaped characters when processing the document.
    You can also use SQL/XML functions, which will take care of that automatically.
    For example :
    SELECT appendChildXML(
            XMLType('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><ProjectDetails/>'),
            XMLForest(
             '1'                 as "RefID",
             '1'                 as "ProjectNo",
             'PRJ1'              as "ProjectName",
             'This is project 1' as "ProjectDesc",
             'P'                 as "ProjectType",
             '6747:BBO&M SBV'    as "ProjectLocation",
             'S'                 as "ProjectStatus"
    FROM dual;or,
    SELECT appendChildXML(
            XMLType('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><ProjectDetails/>'),
            XMLForest(
             '1'                 as "RefID",
             '1'                 as "ProjectNo",
             'PRJ1'              as "ProjectName",
             'This is project 1' as "ProjectDesc",
             'P'                 as "ProjectType",
             XMLCData('6747:BBO&M SBV') as "ProjectLocation",
             'S'                 as "ProjectStatus"
    FROM dual;
