My first reaction would be to say NO. Oracle is a smart database package that knows how to read XML. They have nice features in 8i. Creating a flat file from an XML is like going backward. A better solution would be to investigate how you can read the XML directly into Oracle. IBM's DB2 extender has this capability too.
