    SELECT * FROM xml WHERE EXTRACTVALUE(data, '<xpath-expr>') != ''; 

    You should note, however, that there are limitations to MySQL’s support of XPath.

    • EXTRACTVALUE() returns only CDATA.
    • Not all XPath constructions are supported. Details under the heading ‘XPath limitations’ on the doc page mentioned in abatishchev’s answer.
