Trick 4 Pull XML with DBMSXMLGEN Oracle Alchemist. Wouldnt it be fantastic if you could simply pull data from the database in XML Many shops use XML for data transfer, web services, reports, and more. Oracles XML Publisher product can retrieve XML from an HTTP feed and use it to generate rich reports with graphs, images, and other content, and then mail, fax, print, or FTP them. All we need is the actual XMLFor this, we have the DBMSXMLGEN package. This package generates XML on the fly using any query you want in addition, its extremely easy to use from either the SQL prompt or in code, as its just a simple query. Generating XML From the Database. Take this standard query. SQL select employeeid, firstname, lastname, phonenumber. EMPLOYEEID FIRSTNAME LASTNAME PHONENUMBER. Steven King 5. Neena Kochhar 5. Lex De Haan 5. Alexander Hunold 5. Bruce Ernst 5. SQL select employeeid,firstname,lastname,phonenumber  2  from employees where rownumlt 6.

PHONENUMBER lt ROW lt ROWSET BeautifulFully compliant XML that can be easily integrated into any application, with ROWSET and ROW tags in place to identify nodes, and tags for each column you pulled out of the database. All we had to do was wrap the query in the DBMSXMLGEN. GETXML function call, selected from DUAL. The query remained exactly the same. A More Advanced Use. Lets take it one step further. Most XML has subnodes for each main node. For instance, what if we wanted to pull XML for every department, and a subnode for every employee under it We can use the CURSOR functionSQL select departmentid, departmentname. DEPARTMENTID DEPARTMENTNAME EMPROW. Administration CURSOR STATEMENT 3. CURSOR STATEMENT 3. FIRSTNAME LASTNAME. Jennifer Whalen. Marketing CURSOR STATEMENT 3. CURSOR STATEMENT 3. FIRSTNAME LASTNAME.
