FREEPARSER

The FREEPARSER procedure is used to release a PARSER handle and the system resources it occupies. After release, do not use the handle anymore to avoid dangling references or resource leaks.

Syntax

DBMS_XMLPARSER.FREEPARSER (
   parser IN DBMS_XMLPARSER.PARSER);

Parameters

Return value

No return value.

Usage instructions

If you have obtained a DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMDOCUMENT handle using GETDOCUMENT, you must still explicitly call FREEDOCUMENT to release the document.

Examples

This example releases a parser handle by using the DBMS_XMLPARSER system package:

DECLARE
  p DBMS_XMLPARSER.PARSER;
BEGIN
  -- Create a parser instance
  p := DBMS_XMLPARSER.NEWPARSER;
  -- Release the parser handle.
  DBMS_XMLPARSER.FREEPARSER(p);
END;
