Hi, Is it possible to convert / (re)store a column that contains xml (see below) into real table in a trigger, using contrib/xml2?
The reason is that an application stores a xml blob in a column but we need the data in a real table for a third party report generator. So I want to use a trigger that, upon insert, update or delete, moves the data into that table. The XML looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <data> <field> <name>field1</name> <value>value1</value> </field> <field> <name>field2</name> <value>value2</value> </field> </data> And I have a table with the (text) columns field1 and field2. Any pointers to a solution is really appreciated (solutions also ;-)) TIA -- Groeten, Joost Kraaijeveld Askesis B.V.
