Can I Break up and Store an XML Document without a DDL Insert?
Question We would like to break apart an arbitrary XML document and store it in the database without creating a DDL to insert. Is this possible? And as for querying, is it possible to perform hierarchical searches across XML documents? Answer No this is not possible. Either the schema must already exist or and XSL stylesheet to create the DDL from the XML must exist. From Oracle8i Release 8.1.6 and higher, interMedia Text (now called Oracle Text) can do this.
