RE: valid node xmlparser oracle 10g

select extractvalue(x.xml_data,

'/n1:submit/requestHeader/ns5:language',

'xmlns:n1="ca/joe/test/autotype/submitrequest" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="ca/joe/test/autotype/submitrequest" xmlns:ns5="ca/joe/test/autotype/testcommonrequest"') omdata from test_xml x;

OMDATA

I'm sure any xml experts on the list will correct me but isn't it a little odd to have a separately defined namespace for each node in the path.

Cheers,

ian

Thanks for the response, much appreciated.

I was able to get that out also, but I can't get out the single value 'English' from ns5:language

I'm trying variations of this
select
samplexml.xml.extract('n1:submit/requestHeader/ns5:language','xmlns:n1="ca/j

oe/test/autotype/submitrequest" requestHeader xmlns = "ca/joe/test/autotype/submitrequest" xmlns:ns5 ="ca/joe/test/autotype/testcommonrequest"').getStringVal() omdata from
(select xmltype('<n1:submit xmlns:n1 ="ca/joe/test/autotype/submitrequest" xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

    <requestHeader xmlns = "ca/joe/test/autotype/submitrequest">

        <ns1:customerInteractionType xmlns:ns1 = "ca/joe/test/autotype/testcommonrequest">ContactCentre</ns1:customerInteract

        <ns2:serviceRequestUserId xmlns:ns2 = "ca/joe/test/autotype/testcommonrequest">N296922</ns2:serviceRequestUserId>

Hi,

I loaded the xml you sent into a 10g database here and ran;

select
extract(x.xml_data,'/n1:submit','xmlns:n1="ca/joe/test/autotype/submitreques

t"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance') omdata from test_xml x
