Oracle Pl/SQL: Loop through XMLTYPE nodes

Question

I have a XMLTYPE with the following content:

    
        
            user1
         


        

Answer 1

You can use XQuery. Check out the select statement below. v_xml_doc is the XMLTYPE variable containing the XML data.

select name
from   XMLTable('for $i in /users/user
                            return $i'
                            passing   v_xml_doc
                            columns   name varchar2(200) path 'name'
               )
