XMLELEMENT
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
The XMLELEMENT() function is used to create XML elements, possibly with attributes (see XMLATTRIBUTES())
SELECT
xmlelement(NAME e1) AS e1,
xmlelement(NAME e2, xmlattributes('1' AS a)) AS e2,
xmlelement(NAME e3, 'text-content') AS e3,
xmlelement(NAME e4, xmlelement(NAME nested)) AS e4
create.select(
xmlelement("e1").as("e1"),
xmlelement("e2", xmlattributes(val("1").as("a"))).as("e2"),
xmlelement("e3", val("text-content")).as("e3"),
xmlelement("e4", xmlelement("nested")).as("e4"))
.fetch();
The result would look like this:
+-------+-------------+-----------------------+--------------------+ | e1 | e2 | e3 | e4 | +-------+-------------+-----------------------+--------------------+ | <e1/> | <e2 a="1"/> | <e3>text-content</e3> | <e4><nested/></e4> | +-------+-------------+-----------------------+--------------------+
