CREATETEXTNODE

The CREATE TEXTNODE function creates a text node in the specified DOM document. The text content is specified by data. This node can be appended to the DOM tree as a child node of an element node.

Syntax

DBMS_XMLDOM.createTextNode (
   doc  IN DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMDOCUMENT,
   data IN VARCHAR2);

Parameters

Return value

Handle of the DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMTEXT text node.

Usage instructions

The created text node is typically converted to a DOMNODE using MAKENODE, and then appended under an element node using APPENDCHILD.

Examples

DECLARE
  doc  DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMDOCUMENT;
  text DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMTEXT;
BEGIN
  doc := DBMS_XMLDOM.newDOMDocument;
  text := DBMS_XMLDOM.createTextNode(doc, 'hello');
  DBMS_XMLDOM.freeDocument(doc);
END;
