Re: Working with XML.

MessageHi Theo,

I am not able to duplicate the problem you experienced. I tried the query you provided below using pgAdmin and psql on a 7.3.2 and an 8.0 database with success. I then copied all the rows and pasted them to the end so that I would have 100 rows, and the query worked as expected.

Perhaps the client you're using is causing the problem. Can you run the query in pgAdmin?

Regards,
George

Thankyou George,

XML2 compiled ok... next stummbling block.. when I pass a very long XML string to xpath_string() it crashes the postgres server. Client receives a message like:

server closed the connection unexpectedly
This probably means the server terminated abnormally
before or while processing the request.

Below is the function call, a smaller xml string with say 40 records works fine, anything bigger crashes the server.

select xpath_string('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <query columns="4" rows="50"><row><cola>774187</cola><colb>222663</colb><colc>2005-02-22 <snip>
