Null values and XML

Hi,

Is there any way by which null values of a dataset's table can be
represented in its XML.

Regards.

Two very common conventions are:
- absence (assuming a table called customer, with id=5, name=null, age=30 ):
<customer>
<id>5</id>
<age>30</age>
</customer>
(no name element)
- use xsi:nill like this (assuming a table called customer, with id=5,
name=null, age=30 ):
<customer>
<id>5</id>
<name xsi:nill="true" />
<age>30</age>
</customer>
