Nested table of Object View

Question

Hi all!
1. I need canonical form of XML from my XSQL servlet. So I write
select * from my_obj_view;
2. When I need to use 'where' condition for nested table in object view, I do follows:
select * from my_object_view o, TABLE(o.my_nested_table) n where n.col_name = 5;
But result has not such form as in first example (has form of relational table w/o nested data of nested table). When I write:
select * from my_obj_view where my_obj_view.nested_table.col_name = 5;
I got error: ORA-00904: invalid column name
Please, where I am wrong?

Answer 1

I'm not sure what you are looking for exactly but is it something like this?
SELECT id
     , p.ctx_name
     , p.ctx_value
FROM   tt
     , TABLE(ctx) pWith the following test data:
INSERT INTO tt VALUES(1,CTX_TAB(CTX_LINE('A','SOME VALUE1')));
INSERT INTO tt VALUES(1,CTX_TAB(CTX_LINE('B','SOME VALUE2')));
INSERT INTO tt VALUES(1,CTX_TAB(CTX_LINE('B','SOME VALUE2')));this is the result:
SQL> SELECT id
  2       , p.ctx_name
  3       , p.ctx_value
  4  FROM   tt
  5       , TABLE(ctx) p
  6  /
        ID CTX_NAME                                 CTX_VALUE
         1 A                                        SOME VALUE1
         1 B                                        SOME VALUE2
         1 B                                        SOME VALUE2
