Dear all,

How to display xmltype datatype contents as xml in sqlplus.
I am using database oracle 9i(9.2.0.6.0) but my sql plus
version is 8.1.7.0.0.

when i query it returns rows in this form:-

    SQL> select xmlorder from orders;
         XMLORDER()
         ---------------
         XMLTYPE()

instead of xmltype() i wan't to display XML File.

Thanks & Regards,
Rajat ratewal

You can use the getClobVal() or getStringVal() member functions of the XML type.
