Description
The XQUERY_DECODE() function is used to return an object from the specified XML string, including attributes. The character expression <expC1> is the XML string.
XQuery functions:
The XQUERY_OPEN() function is used to open an XML file for parsing using XQuery notation. After opening using XQUERY_OPEN(), the XQUERY_FIND() or XQUERY_NODE() functions can be used to find and return a specified XML node value. The XQUERY_ATTRIBUTES() function finds and returns a complete node and its attributes. XQUERY_COUNT() returns a count of a specified XML node. The XQUERY_SELECT() function provides the ability to query nodes by attribute and value. The XQUERY_CLOSE() function is closes the XML file.
The XQUERY() function is used to parse XML strings using XQuery notation.
The XQUERY_FILE() function is used to parse XML files using XQuery notation.
The XQUERY_DECODE() function is used to return an object from an XML string.
