XMLSERIALIZE
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
The XMLSERIALIZE() function allows for serializing XML content into a string type
SELECT xmlserialize(CONTENT xmlelement(NAME 'a') AS VARCHAR) FROM dual
create.select(xmlserializeContent(xmlelement("a"), VARCHAR))
.fetch();
The result would look like this:
+--------------+ | xmlserialize | +--------------+ | <a/> | +--------------+

This example using jOOQ:
xmlserializeContent(xmlelement("a"), VARCHAR(1000))
Translates to the following dialect specific expressions:
-- DB2, POSTGRES, TERADATA xmlserialize(CONTENT xmlelement(NAME a) AS varchar(1000)) -- ORACLE xmlserialize(CONTENT xmlelement(NAME a) AS varchar2(1000)) -- ACCESS, ASE, AURORA_MYSQL, AURORA_POSTGRES, BIGQUERY, COCKROACHDB, DERBY, DUCKDB, EXASOL, FIREBIRD, H2, HANA, HSQLDB, -- INFORMIX, MARIADB, MEMSQL, MYSQL, REDSHIFT, SNOWFLAKE, SQLDATAWAREHOUSE, SQLITE, SQLSERVER, SYBASE, TRINO, VERTICA, -- YUGABYTEDB /* UNSUPPORTED */
