如何在oracle中使用xmltable？

我正在使用Oracle的XML数据库创建用户配置文件。我将用户配置文件存储在一个XMLTYPE列中，表中还有其他关系列（id、用户名、密码）。XML的格式如下：

<profile>
<subject>I
       <action>like
           <object>sports</object>
               ...
           <object>music</object
       </action>
    </subject>
</profile>

---

这对我来说毫无意义。我怎样才能让这东西工作

示例中的

操作

和

对象

不在同一级别，因此您的查询必须执行其他步骤。下面是一个例子：

SQL> create table users (id number, profile xmltype);

Table created.

SQL> insert into users values (1, XMLTYPE('<profile>
  2      <subject>I
  3         <action>like
  4             <object>sports</object>
  5             <object>music</object>
  6         </action>
  7      </subject>
  8  </profile>'));

1 row created.

SQL> select u.id, x.action, x.object.getStringVal()
  2    from users u,
  3         XMLTABLE('/profile/subject/action'
  4                  passing u.profile
  5                  columns action VARCHAR2(30) PATH 'text()',
  6                          object XMLTYPE PATH 'object') x;

ID  ACTION  X.OBJECT.GETSTRINGVAL()
--- ------- --------------------------------------------------
1   like    <object>sports</object> <object>music</object>

SQL> create table users (id number, profile xmltype);

Table created.

SQL> insert into users values (1, XMLTYPE('<profile>
  2      <subject>I
  3         <action>like
  4             <object>sports</object>
  5             <object>music</object>
  6         </action>
  7      </subject>
  8  </profile>'));

1 row created.

SQL> select u.id, x.action, x.object.getStringVal()
  2    from users u,
  3         XMLTABLE('/profile/subject/action'
  4                  passing u.profile
  5                  columns action VARCHAR2(30) PATH 'text()',
  6                          object XMLTYPE PATH 'object') x;

ID  ACTION  X.OBJECT.GETSTRINGVAL()
--- ------- --------------------------------------------------
1   like    <object>sports</object> <object>music</object>

SQL> select u.id, x.action, y.object
  2    from users u,
  3         XMLTABLE('/profile/subject/action'
  4                  passing u.profile
  5                  columns action VARCHAR2(30) PATH 'text()',
  6                          object XMLTYPE PATH 'object') x,
  7         XMLTABLE('/object'
  8                  passing x.object
  9                  columns object VARCHAR2(30) PATH '.') y;

ID  ACTION  OBJECT
--- ------- -------
1   like    sports
1   like    music
