That functionality covers XML syntax checking and XPath queries,

not at all compatible. It is planned that this module will be
removed in a future version of PostgreSQL in favor of the newer standard API, so
you are encouraged to try converting your applications. If you
find that some of the functionality of this module is not
available in an adequate form with the newer API, please explain
your issue to <CODE

the extra queries will be ignored. If there are more result columns
than XPath queries, the extra columns will be NULL.
</P
><P
> Notice that this example defines the <TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>page_count</TT
> result
column as an integer. The function deals internally with string
representations, so when you say you want an integer in the output, it will
take the string representation of the XPath result and use PostgreSQL input
functions to transform it into an integer (or whatever type the <TT
CLASS="TYPE"
>AS</TT
>
clause requests). An error will result if it can't do this — for
example if the result is empty — so you may wish to just stick to
<TT
CLASS="TYPE"

</P

CLASS="COMMAND"
>SELECT</TT

just <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SELECT *</TT
> — it can reference the output
columns by name or join them to other tables. The function produces a
virtual table with which you can perform any operation you wish (e.g.
aggregation, joining, sorting etc). So we could also have:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>SELECT t.title, p.fullname, p.email

AS t(article_id integer, title text, author_id integer),
tblPeopleInfo AS p
WHERE t.author_id = p.person_id;</PRE
><P>
as a more complicated example. Of course, you could wrap all
of this in a view for convenience.

><P
> The <CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"

might be multivalued, so the number of rows returned by the function
may not be the same as the number of input documents. The first row
returned contains the first result from each query, the second row the
second result from each query. If one of the queries has fewer values
than the others, null values will be returned instead.
</P
><P
> In some cases, a user will know that a given XPath query will return
only a single result (perhaps a unique document identifier) — if used
alongside an XPath query returning multiple results, the single-valued
result will appear only on the first row of the result. The solution
to this is to use the key field as part of a join against a simpler
XPath query. As an example:
