Help with XML Query

Question

Hi,
I want to create the follow XML from the DATA in my DB:
<customer id="1234">
<order>
<date>01-01-2004</date>
</order>
<order>
<date>01-01-2005</date>
</order>
</customer>
My SQL query would like a bit like this (returns two rows):
select * from
from orders
join customers on customerID =order_customerID
where customerID = 1234
Is there any way to represent the ABOVE resultant XML from an XmlSqlQuery.
Currently all I managed to do was get two rows of data like this:
select xmlelement("customer", xmlelement("order", xmlelement("date", o_datum))) AS "result"
from orders
join customers on customerID =order_customerID
where customerID = 1234
<customer id="1234">
<order>
<date>01-01-2004</date>
</order>
</customer>
<customer id="1234">
<order>
<date>01-01-2004</date>
</order>
</customer>
But this is NOT what I wanted. I want the customer tag once only.
thx.
Steve

I think xmlagg is correct, I'd try:
select xmlelement("customer", xmlelement("order", xmlagg(xmlelement("date", o_datum)))) ....
