hi,

i have below block,

DECLARE

dbms_lob.createtemporary(v_doc, true);
dbms_xmldom.writeToClob(doc,v_doc,'UTF8');

/

The xml file is 'EMP_XML_FILE.xml'

<empno>U++kYmcVuGchxbh+++++++++++++++1+</empno>
<empname>J</empname>

suppose the empno 7501 is not available in our emp table,

i got error

ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel

how to handle xmldom with no data values.
