XML conversion in pl/sql

Question

hi ,
How do i map the xml handling code in t-sql to pl/sql??
for example , here is the t-sql code :
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[usp_LIBRARYHideUnhideTreeNodes]
     -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
     @paramMyXml text,
     @XmlHandle int output
AS
BEGIN
     -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
     -- interfering with SELECT statements.
     SET NOCOUNT ON;
/*Update statements*/
     EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @XmlHandle output,@paramMyXml
     UPDATE LIBRARYTree SET IsVisible = ~IsVisible WHERE NodeId in(
     SELECT xNodeID FROM OPENXML (@XmlHandle, 'HiddenNodes/Node',1)
     WITH ( xNodeID int '@id'))
     EXEC sp_xml_removedocument @XmlHandle
END
The corresponding code in pl/sql by sql developer is :
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE usp_LIBRARYHideUnhideTreeNodes
-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
v_paramMyXml IN CLOB DEFAULT NULL ,
v_XmlHandle OUT NUMBER
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
NULL/*TODO:SET NOCOUNT ON*/;
/*Update statements*/
sp_xml_preparedocument(v_XmlHandle,
v_paramMyXml);
UPDATE LIBRARYTree
SET IsVisible = UTL_RAW.BIT_COMPLEMENT(IsVisible)
WHERE NodeId IN ( SELECT xNodeID
FROM DUAL/*TODO:OPENXML (@XmlHandle, 'HiddenNodes/Node',1)
WITH ( xNodeID int '@id'))*/ );
sp_xml_removedocument(v_XmlHandle);
END;
This on compilation for obvious reasons gives errors.
how is sp_xml_preparedocument,openxml,sp_xml_removedocument handled in pl/sql??
any help in this direction will be appreciated..
Cheers,
Shishir.

Can you brief what you want to do? You don't need to do statement by statement conversion from t-sql to PL/SQL. This is not translation.
