If it's a servlet calling the database in your example, the below can be accomplished through the use of procedures which create the XML in question and return it.
Ie. select xmlGetUser(userid); You have to write xmlGetUser() to take in the userid and return the xml required for it. I see no advantage to generating the xml in the db rather than in the servlet. Soap or XML-RPC on the other hand could be a useful tool for the database to understand directly -- but thats certainly not going to be fast. -- Rod Taylor This message represents the official view of the voices in my head ----- Original Message ----- From: "longjohn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 15, 2002 8:44 AM Subject: [HACKERS] XML > Do U know if pgSQL supports XML ? > 4 example : BROWSER->APACHE JSERV->SERVLET->DB->xsl+xml->HTML > Do U know any open source DB doing that? > Thanks a lot > > > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- > TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? > > http://archives.postgresql.org > ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
