Description
The XQUERY_FIND() function is used to search for an XML tag in an XML file previously opened with XQUERY_OPEN() and return its value. The character expression <expC1> is the XML tag.
The XQUERY_OPEN() function is used to open an XML file for parsing using XQuery notation. After opening using XQUERY_OPEN(), the XQUERY_FIND() function can be used to search for a specified XML tag and XQUERY_COUNT() to return a count of a specified XML tag. The XQUERY_CLOSE() function is used to close the XML file.
