Hi,

Here below is the query which gives XML output.

SELECT XMLELEMENT(
         "dept_list",
         XMLAGG (
           XMLELEMENT(
             "dept",
             XMLATTRIBUTEs(deptno AS "deptno"),
             XMLFOREST(
               d.deptno AS "deptno",
               d.dname AS "dname",
               d.loc AS "loc",
               (SELECT XMLAGG(
                         XMLELEMENT(
                           "emp",
                           XMLATTRIBUTEs(empno AS "empno"),
                           XMLFOREST(
                             e.empno AS "empno",
                             e.ename AS "ename",
                             e.job AS "job",
                             e.mgr AS "mgr",
                             e.hiredate AS "hiredate",
                             e.sal AS "sal",
                             e.comm AS "comm"
                           )
                         )
                       )
                FROM   emp e
                WHERE  e.deptno = d.deptno
               ) "emp_list" -- This tag not required.
             )
           )
         )
       ) AS "depts"
FROM   dept d
WHERE  d.deptno = 10;




It giving an xml output with unwanted tag. How to customize the query inorder to avoid the tag "emp_list".
And also if the values of below columns
e.empno
e.ename
e.job
e.mgr
e.hiredate
e.sal
e.comm
are null then it given an XML as <emp><emp/> instead of that my requirement is to give onely one tag with </emp>






XML OUTPUT

Keep your code lines in 80 characters.

ORA-19011: Character string buffer too small
 *Cause:  The string result asked for is too big to return back
 *Action:  Get the result as a lob instead


I have not your data but I bet your result is greater than 4000 bytes. Use LENGTH instead of REPLACE to check its length.

Hi MIchel,

Thanks for your replies.

Here is the sql query which has to be written as XML query.

Could you pls let us know how to use order by clause, joins with XML query.


SQL QUERY




SELECT
P.process_id AS Ppid,
PI.question_id AS PIqid,
PI.process_id AS PIpid,
PI.innertext AS PItext,
PI.itemtype AS PItype,
PI.linkfrom AS PIfrom,
PI.linkto AS PIto,
PI.associated AS PIas,
PI.content_id AS PIc,
PI.exitpoint1_id AS PIe1,
PI.exitpoint2_id AS PIe2,
PI.exitpoint3_id AS PIe3,
PI.followoncall AS PIfoc,
PI.userinput AS PIui,
PI.resolveidentifier AS PIri,
PI.libquestion_idfk AS PIlqid,
PI.isLocked AS PIstls,
PI.PreviousAnswer as PIPAns,
PI.VisibleToAgent as PIVAgent,
PI.RetryAttempt as PIRetry,
PI.Tags as PITag,
PO.option_id AS POoid,
PO.question_id AS POqid,
PO.process_id AS popid,
PO.opt_innertext AS POtext,
PO.opt_linkfrom AS POfrom,
PO.opt_linkto AS POto,
PO.libquestion_idfk AS POlqid,
PO.liboption_idfk AS POloid
FROM liveProcess_ec P INNER JOIN
vw_liveProcessItem_Sim_v6 PI ON P.process_id = PI.process_id LEFT OUTER JOIN
vw_liveProcessOption_Sim_v6 PO ON PI.question_id = PO.question_id AND PI.process_id = PO.process_id
where p.process_id=450
order by Ppid, PIqid, POoid;




XML QUERY IS IT EQUIVALENT TO ABOVE QUERY


select replace (replace,"PI",<A>,''),</A>,'') from (SELECT XMLAGG ( XMLELEMENT( "P", 
XMLFOREST( P.process_id AS Ppid,
(SELECT XMLAGG( XMLELEMENT( "PI", XMLFOREST( PI.question_id AS PIqid, PI.process_id AS PIpid,

PI.associated AS PIas, PI.content_id AS PIc, PI.exitpoint1_id AS PIe1, 
PI.exitpoint2_id AS PIe2, PI.exitpoint3_id AS PIe3, PI.followoncall AS PIfoc, 
PI.userinput AS PIui, PI.resolveidentifier AS PIri, PI.libquestion_idfk AS PIlqid, 
PI.isLocked AS PIstls, PI.PreviousAnswer AS PIPAns, PI.VisibleToAgent AS PIVAgent, 
PI.RetryAttempt AS PIRetry, PI.Tags AS PITag,
(SELECT XMLAGG( XMLELEMENT( "PO", XMLFOREST( PO.option_id AS POoid, PO.question_id AS POqid, 
PO.process_id AS popid, PO.opt_innertext AS POtext, PO.opt_linkfrom AS POfrom, 
PO.opt_linkto AS POto, PO.libquestion_idfk AS POlqid, PO.liboption_idfk AS POloid ) ) )
FROM vw_liveProcessOption_Sim_v6 PO
WHERE PI.question_id = PO.question_id (+)
AND PI.process_id = PO.process_id (+)
) "A" ) ) ) AS "PO"
FROM vw_liveProcessItem_Sim_v6 PI
WHERE P.process_id = PI.process_id
) "A" ) ) ) AS "PI"
FROM liveProcess_ec P
WHERE (P.process_id = 450))




Any help really appreciated.

Thanks

Could you pls let me know how to sort the above query as sorted in sql query and also let me know whether the XMl query is an equivalent to sql query.

Thanks
