In my Oracle db I have records like this one:
<ROOT>
<Event>
<Type>sldkfvjhkljh</Type>
<ID>591252</ID>
</Event>
<Data>
<File>
<Name>1418688.pdf</Name>
<URL>/591252/1418688.pdf</URL>
</File>
<File>
<Name>1418688.xml</Name>
<URL>/591252/1418688.xml</URL>
</File>
</Data>
</ROOT>
I need to extract a value from the first <Name>
tag. If I try:
Select xmltype(xml_data).extract('//Name[1]/text()').getStringVal() from MY_TABLE
I get:
1418688.pdf1418688.xml
Why is that and how can I get just 1418688.pdf
?
Oracle Version:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
I think that both Name elements are #1 in this doc, because in their nodes they are each first. Try //File[1]/Name/text()
