Hi,

I need to export table data in xml format from Oracle. Can anybody give any suggestion on how to accomplish this through a Procedure? Lets say I have two tables AA and AB with cols a, b, c in AA and d, e, f in AB and I need to have xml formatted output taking the data of a, b, d and f cols.

AA     AB

a b c  d e f


Thanks for any suggestion.

The simplest way is something like:
SQL> select dbms_xmlgen.getXMLtype('select * from emp where rownum<=3')
  2  from dual;
DBMS_XMLGEN.GETXMLTYPE('SELECT*FROMEMPWHEREROWNUM<=3')
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
<ROWSET>
 <ROW>
  <EMPNO>7369</EMPNO>
  <ENAME>SMITH</ENAME>
  <JOB>CLERK</JOB>
  <MGR>7902</MGR>
  <HIREDATE>17/12/1980 00:00:00</HIREDATE>
  <SAL>800</SAL>
  <DEPTNO>20</DEPTNO>
 </ROW>
 <ROW>
  <EMPNO>7499</EMPNO>
  <ENAME>ALLEN</ENAME>
  <JOB>SALESMAN</JOB>
  <MGR>7698</MGR>
  <HIREDATE>20/02/1981 00:00:00</HIREDATE>
  <SAL>1600</SAL>
  <COMM>300</COMM>
  <DEPTNO>30</DEPTNO>
 </ROW>

Thanks for quick response Michel.

But can you please suggest on how to get the xml formatted output by using an Oracle Procedure?

Appreciate your suggestion and guide as always.

Why do you want to do it in a procedure when you can directly do it in SQL?
Just return the string the SQL generates.

Edit: or in the first statement, just return the xml the procedure returns.

Yeah Michel, we can have the xml formatted output through the technique as you mentioned, but I am keen to generate the same formatted output but through a Oracle Procedure. May be, it could help in providing the same advantages as in case of Oracle procedures.

And what is your problem in writing this procedure from what I posted?

Yes the single line query as you mentioned here,gives the output but from one table only. What I am trying is to get the same formatted output from multiple tables using a procedure(or the xml related functions). Could you please provide any suggestion for that?
Thanks for your time.

No, it gives the result for any query you can write.

Hi Michel,
I am still unclear on how to get the XML formatted output through an Oracle Procedure. Could you please provide some hints on how to develop that one to get the required output?

Thanks for your guidance.

Hi Michel,

Suppose I am using the traditional emp and dept tables to retrieve all the columns matching, then I have to query as follows:

Quote:
select empno,ename,job,dname,loc
from emp e,dept d
where e.deptno=d.deptno;

Now, I can get the o/p as follows:

EMPNO	ENAME	JOB	DNAME	LOC
7782	CLARK	MANAGER	ACCOUNTING	NEW YORK
7934	MILLER	CLERK	ACCOUNTING	NEW YORK
7839	KING	PRESIDENT ACCOUNTING    NEW YORK
7902	FORD	ANALYST	RESEARCH	DALLAS
7788	SCOTT	ANALYST	RESEARCH	DALLAS
....     ....   ....... ........        ......

So, now if I need the above data in xml format then what I have to do please suggest.
