In this post I wanted to share some methods you can use while manipulating XML data. My XMLType Table example is based on my last posts about XMLIndex and (binary) XML Storage. So if you want some more information I suggest reading up on those as well.
Triggered by a great example from Jonathan Gennick (“Faster, Safer, and Smaller LOBs”) in the September issue of Oracle Magazine.
I used this as a base, manipulating XMLType tables and see what happens if I would do the same, but now on XML objects.
