An external (O/S) file system may contain a variety of data formats, and may contain both valid and invalid XML documents. You can use the xmlerror option of the xmlextract and xmltest functions to specify error actions for documents that are not valid XML.For example, a File Access directory structure may contain picture.jpg and nonxmldoc.txt files along with bookstore1.xml and bookstore.2.xml files:
select filename from xmlxfsTab filename ----------------------------------------- picture.jpg bookstore.1.xml bookstore.2.xml nonxmldoc.txt (4 rows affected)
The following code sample shows an XML query on both XML and non-XML data:
select filename , xmlextract("//book/title",content)
from xmlxfsTab
