To insert XML data into a PostgreSQL database, you can use the INSERT
statement with the xml
data type.
Here is an example of how you can do this:
1 2 |
INSERT INTO table_name (column_name) VALUES (XMLPARSE (DOCUMENT '<root><element>value</element></root>')); |
In this example, table_name
is the name of the table where you want to insert the data, and column_name
is the name of the column in which you want to store the XML data. The XMLPARSE
function is used to parse the XML data as a document and insert it into the database.
You can also use the xml
data type to store XML data in a column of a table, like this:
1 2 3 4 |
CREATE TABLE table_name ( id serial PRIMARY KEY, xml_data xml ); |
Then, you can insert XML data into the xml_data
column using the INSERT
statement:
1 2 |
INSERT INTO table_name (xml_data) VALUES (XMLPARSE (DOCUMENT '<root><element>value</element></root>')); |
You can also use the COPY
command to import XML data from a file into a table. For example:
1
|
COPY table_name (xml_data) FROM '/path/to/file.xml' WITH (FORMAT XML); |
This will import the XML data from the file.xml
file into the xml_data
column of the table_name
table.
