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/> | +--------------+
