XMLATTRIBUTES

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition

The XMLATTRIBUTES() function is used to create attributes inside of XMLELEMENT().

SELECT xmlelement(
  NAME element, 
  xmlattributes('value' AS attr)
)

create.select(xmlelement("element", 
        xmlattributes(val("value").as("attr"))
      ))
      .fetch();

The result would look like this:

+-------------------------+
| xmlelement              |
+-------------------------+
| <element attr="value"/> | 
+-------------------------+

This example using jOOQ:

xmlelement("e", xmlattributes(val("value").as("attr")))

Translates to the following dialect specific expressions:
