Subject: [GENERAL] XML import with DTD 

Hi 

I'm trying to use the XPath functionality of Postgres. 

I can populate a text field (unparsed) with XML data but as far as I can see 
the xpath() function [now] only works on the xml data type. 

When I try to populate a text field with XML data containing a DTD, however, 
the parser chokes. If I strip the DTD the parser chokes on undefined entities 
which are defined in the DTD. 

(I switched the app' to from MySQL to Postgres because while MySQL works it 
returns matches in undelimited form which is next to useless if, for example, 
you return multiple attributes from a node.) 

Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? 

Windows 2000 Server 
Postgres 8.4
