I have mytable consists of one XMLTYPE column called 'RS'. RS contains:
<test>
<mycol>
<name>a</name>
<number>1</number>
<number>2</number>
<number>50</number>
<number>60</number>
</mycol>
<mycol>
<name>b</name>
<number>5</number>
<number>820</number>
<number>601</number>
</mycol>
<mycol>
<name>c</name>
<number>6</number>
<number>8</number>
<number>62</number>
</mycol>
etc...
</test>
I'm looking to run a select statement that will display ALL names and up to 2 numbers from mytable. something like this select statement but for all rows and without calling mycol[] several times.
select a.RS.extract('/test/mycol[1]/name[1]/text()').getstringval() as Names,
a.RS.extract('/test/mycol[1]/a[1]/text()').getstringval() ||''||
a.RS.extract('/test/mycol[1]/a[2]/text()').getstringval() ||''||
a.RS.extract('/test/mycol[1]/a[3]/text()').getstringval()
as num
from mytable a;/
output should be:
Names | num
a | 1 2
b | 5 820
c | 6 8
etc...
Thanks in advance.
