Question

I am working in .Net and Oracle. I am having a XML data in my table. My data is like this..

<Goals>
    <Reg>
        <Min>75</Min>
        <Max>90</Max>
    </Reg>
    <Sale>
        <Min>75</Min>
        <Max>90</Max>
    </Sale>
</Goals>

also have some other columns in that table. I need to fetch this and I should bind this value in gridview. My gridview will have separate columns for these XML. like, Reg Min, Reg Max, Sale Min,Sale Max etc..

How should I separate this XML values?

You can also do it in the DB:

select t.id,
       xmltype(t.xmltext) .extract('//Reg/Min/text()').getstringval() reg_min,
       xmltype(t.xmltext) .extract('//Reg/Max/text()').getstringval() reg_max,
       xmltype(t.xmltext) .extract('//Sale/Min/text()').getstringval() sale_min,
       xmltype(t.xmltext) .extract('//Sale/Max/text()').getstringval() sale_max
  from table_name t

I used table_name as your table name, and xmltext as the column name which holds your xml (assuming it’s a string)
