Postgres+XML

Hi,

First of all I'd like to say that 8.0 is a great piece of software, and
I've been looking forward to installing 8.0 for quite some time now.

Does PG allow you to store XML documents as DOM documents? Is there such
data type? If not, is it very hard to extend the type system to include
a binary representation of an XML document?

What I'm trying to do is the following:

SELECT AVERAGE(xpath_q uery('/ds/item[@name=\'left\']') GROUP BY language;

Now, I could probably write a function in either PL/Perl or Python that
would be able to parse the document tree from a text column and process
it accordingly. Does PL/Perl work exactly the same way as regular perl?
Eg. Can I import a class (for manipulating XML, for example), and then
use it in my function?

Thanks,
jps

I am relatively new to the world of XML and python, and I think I am still missing some of the basic concepts. It cannot be as hard as I think, or programmers would be flocking to it the way they are. We are developing a system based on Zope & Postgres, and want/need to use XML as our default output language to allow us to communicate with other companies. I have devised a local XML format which meets our needs, and which works well...

Hello: I need to parse some large XML files, and save the data in an Access DB. I was using MSXML 2 and ASP, but it turns out to be extremely slow when then XML documents are like 10 mb in size. It's taking over an hour to parse such sizes!? I don't really need to use ASP or a web server at all because I am parsing all in my own computer. Is there any executable that can do this parsing faster than the way I was doing it?

Hi to all, I have functions defined in an xml-rpc server. Some functions query to a Postgres database (using adodb) and return its recordset. So, if some xml-rpc client runs the mentioned function, it will retrieve the recordset. The problem is that if a retrieved field has the Null value or the Date value (DateTime Database format), then, the retrieved recordset in the python program will have the 'None' value or the DateTime type...

Hi all- I'm migrating to postgres from the MS SQL Server land, as I can see a great potential with postgres, I was wondering if anyone has experimented or started a project with XML inside user defined functions? I've seen the contrib/xml shipped with the distro, as I see it's usefulness, it's not quite what I had in mind (lacks the ablity to return recordset/table of nodes). Also, the project XpSQL seems

Hi, maybe anyone already knows that Apple is distributing Postgres 7.3.3 with RemoteDesktop 2. Its located in /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/rmdb.bundle/ BUT... they did not do a good job: -their- installation is using the default port which means: either -their- version works or the one that the server owner maybe installed on the same server. In our case neither our Postgres nor the one from RemoteDesktop 2 did start...

Hello, I've got a problem inserting binary objects into the postgres database. I have binary objects (e.g. images or smth else) of any size which I want to insert into the database. Funny is it works for files larger than 8000 Bytes. If a file is less than 1000 Bytes I get the following message: Error message: --invalid input syntax for type oid: "\074\077......";

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
