GETNODENAME

The GETNODENAME function is used to obtain the node name of a specified DOM node. Element nodes return the element name, attribute nodes return the attribute name, and text nodes return the corresponding node name according to Oracle DOM semantics.

Syntax

DBMS_XMLDOM.getNodeName (
   n IN DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMNODE);

Parameters

Return value

Node name, of type VARCHAR2.

Usage instructions

For elements with a namespace prefix, the return value can include the prefix. If only the local name is needed, use GETLOCALNAME.

Examples

DECLARE
  n         DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMNODE;
  node_name VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
  node_name := DBMS_XMLDOM.getNodeName(n);
END;
