RE: Table to XML file

Hi everyone

I reads the article that Justin mentioned with interest, and decided to play around on my system (V7r1) with what the article said

I got as far as this (tailored to a simple file on my system)



SELECT XMLSERIALIZE(XMLELEMENT(NAME "Companies",

XMLAGG(XMLROW(COMPNY as "Company_Code", CNAME as "Company_Name" OPTION ROW "Company_Code"))) AS CLOB(1M) INCLUDING

XMLDECLARATION) AS XML_DOCUMENT

FROM (select * from prodfa.compnyp ORDER BY compny) COMPANY;



With the following results



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Companies>

<Company_Code><Company_Code>A</Company_Code><Company_Name>Company Name A </Company_Name></Company_Code>

<Company_Code><Company_Code>B</Company_Code><Company_Name>Company Name B </Company_Name></Company_Code>

</Companies>



What somewhat surprised me was that there are 2 tabs with basically the same name

Company_Code



Am I doing something wrong in my SQL?

Hi Justin,



the easiest way to create the XML for a Table is to use the SQL scalar Function XMLGROUP.



The following statement will return and XML-Document with the <rowset> root element and the <row> row element and the column names as elements in upper

case:

Select xmlgroup(EmployeeNo, Name, FirstName)

from lobstaff;



<rowset><row><EMPLOYEENO>20</EMPLOYEENO><NAME>Bauer</NAME><FIRSTNAME>Herrman

n</FIRSTNAME></row>

<row><EMPLOYEENO>40</EMPLOYEENO><NAME>Hauser</NAME><FIRSTNAME>Birgitta</FIRS

TNAME</row>

...

</rowset>



For returning other information such as renamed row and root elements check the XMLGROUP description.



You can also use the XML-Functions describe in the IT Jungle Article.



Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

I need to export a Db2 table to an XML file. I'm working off this IT Jungle article (https://www.itjungle.com/2012/08/08/fhg080812-story02/), but it's rather dated. Is there a newer reference/how-to?



TIA
