Get Db2 Purexml Overview

db2-fn:xmlcolumn retrieves a sequence from an XML column. If your query invokes an XQuery expression directly, you must prefix it with the case-insensitive keyword XQUERY. To retrieve all of the XML documents previously inserted into the INFO column, you can use XQuery with either db2-fn:xmlcolumn or db2-fn:sqlquery.

XQuery in the SQL Server helps to query and extract data from XML documents. XQuery gives different approaches to get information from the XML document and the equivalent can be used on applying a data filter or where clause on XML elements as well.

As a relational database, Db2 is still in use. While other database management systems have emerged, older institutions and industries continue to store their data on Db2. It also continues to release new versions.

XML data can be queried using an SQL fullselect or with the SQL/XML query functions of XMLQUERY and XMLTABLE.

Here's how to convert XML to SQL with SQLizer: Step 1: Drag and Drop your XML file. Step 2: Select your options. Step 3: Hit convert. You're nearly done - your SQL file will be ready in a few seconds. It's really that easy. Here's a video showing the exact steps to convert XML to SQL in 30 seconds.

You can select all XML data that is stored in a particular column by specifying SELECT column name or SELECT *, just as you would for columns of any other data type. Alternatively, you can select only a subset of data from an XML column by using an XPath expression in a SELECT statement.

The main difference is that PostGreSQL will return a result of type INTERVAL as opposed to the INTEGER that Db2 returns. This type takes a bit of extra handling (it can't be cast to a numeric data type, for instance) but is actually more representative of a difference between 2 dates or times.
