Hi

i have now got my database to output relational data as XML using this procedure.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE xml_resources (file_dir varchar2,file_name varchar2) IS
BEGIN
DECLARE
  queryCtx DBMS_XMLquery.ctxType;
  result CLOB;

BEGIN

  queryCtx := DBMS_XMLQuery.newContext('select * from RESOURCES ORDER BY R_ID');
  result := DBMS_XMLQuery.getXML(queryCtx);
  DBMS_XMLQuery.closeContext(queryCtx);



--call another procedure to write the clob into a file in batches
clob_to_file(file_dir,file_name||'.xml',result);
END;

END xml_resources;


and that gets sent to the clob_to_file procedure to be written to hard disk in .xml format.

the problem i have now is that i need to style it with XSLT but i need to some how put the link to the stylesheet at the top of the xml document.

is there any way to do this?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="xml.xsl"?>


oracle just puts the first one in and not the second line

hi there again.

is it possible to get oracle to output an Encoding Standard?

like <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
at the moment my database is only putting the version at the top of the page and its causing some encoding issues when displaying the content.

mine looks like <?xml version="1.0"?>

i looked around for something like DBMS_XMLQuery.setEncoding() but couldnt find anything that resembled that.

Thanks

Actually i am not an XML expert.But I know how google works.

You should /forum/fa/456/0/ first.

I found following things./forum/fa/1964/0/


Quote:

If the XML data is obtained from a CLOB or VARCHAR value, then the encoding declaration is ignored, because these two data types are always encoded in the database character set.

XMLTYPE has something of your interest.

INSERT INTO mytable2 VALUES (XMLType(bfilename('XMLDIR', 'purchaseOrder.xml'),nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8')));





So search google for more.
