Summary

Just as SQL is used to query relational tables, XQuery is designed to query XML. In Oracle XML DB, XQuery can process relational tables, XMLType columns/tables, XML DB Repository, and even PL/SQL parameters. Using the XMLQuery() function, along with the XPath/XQuery functions, XML DB extension functions, and SQL functions, you easily process the XML data in Oracle Database 11g.
