I was trying to write out data from a table to an xml file, so that I could export out this file to another external application from another vendor. I got to export the data based on a predefined schema. I am able to do this through .NET using c#, but I was wondering if there is way if I can do this from the database itself.

I would appreciate if you can point me towards/with some examples or links.

Thank you,
Murali.

Can I use pl/pgsql or pl/tcl to write function to do that.

Can't see why not (I'm sure others will chime in if it's not possible or not a good idea) but that's not going to help for a full database dump. Doing a set of results it should work ok though. Depends what you need the xml for.

Hello Guys,

I am trying to export the data out of the database directly to an xml file. Is there a way that I could do this in PostgreSQL. I am looking for a function or something like that. Does PostgreSQL support sqlxml.


Don't think so. A small script (perl, python, ruby, whatever) should be able to convert it easily enough though.
