Hi
After some good fight of 3 days, I have done it through Pro*c
This is the way to handle this
Buffer-->Temporary Clob-->XMLTYPE(using CreateXml)
Pasting my piece o code to do this
===============
OCIClobLocator *license_txt;
varchar h_ttt[1024] = {'\0'};
ub4 amt;
int i;
EXEC SQL ALLOCATE :license_txt;
EXEC SQL LOB CREATE TEMPORARY :license_txt ;
GetName(name); /*Gets Name to insert into name column in License Table*/
for(i=0; i<4;i++)
GetXMLL((char *)h_ttt.arr); /*Gets a string value of XML into this example*/
/*<Tagore>Is From TCS Delhi</Tagore>*/
/*This can be changed to get buffer from FILE */
h_ttt.len = strlen((char *)h_ttt.arr);
amt = sizeof(char) * h_ttt.len ;
EXEC SQL LOB WRITE APPEND :amt FROM :h_ttt INTO :license_txt;
EXEC SQL
INSERT INTO license_table VALUES (:sss, :name, sys.xmltype.createXML(:license_txt))
