With a table like this : Column1, Column2,...
I try to obtain it :

<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1" key="column1">
<NAME>SMITH</NAME>
</ROW>
<ROW num="2" key="column1">

SELECT empno "@EMPNO", ename, job, hiredate
FROM emp
ORDER BY empno
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1" EMPNO="7369">
<ENAME>SMITH</ENAME>

Answer 1

I do not know what columns you are talking about, but in HTML you can merge two columns with the attribute COLSPAN="2".
