Hi,
The requirement is like this:
I have a forms for entering details about orders. Then after entering the details, I click on one button "SAVE" so that this data gets saved into a database table. At the same time it has to create a XML file with all this data. How can I achieve this task? This XML will be later on used to invoke BPEL and webservices.
I just got a rough idea that I should use some PLSQL code...but where and how to use it?
Can you guide me?

It sounds as though you need to use 'utl_file' to output a file from the database. Depending on where they want the file to go you may need to use 'web_util' to write to the client PC.

since you are saveing the data in the database, read up on using one of the many database packages that extrac xml from the database. You can save the data and then read it back as xml real easy with these guys. This should give you some idea.

SQL> select dbms_xmlgen.getxml('select * from dual') from dual;

DBMS_XMLGEN.GETXML('SELECT*FROMDUAL')
-----------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<DUMMY>X</DUMMY>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>

1 row selected.

Check the articles posted here too for some ideas.

Good luck, Kevin
