SQL function to extract XML namespace prefix

586483Jul 25 2007 — edited Jul 25 2007
Hi,

I have the following document

<ns4:product xmlns:ns1="www.abc.com" xmlns:ns2="www.def.com" xmlns:ns3="www.ghi.com" xmlns:ns4="www.jkl.com">
<ns4:productline>Widget</ns4:productline>
</ns4:product>

I'm trying to find a SQL function which will enable me to extract the namespace prefix with the value "www.jkl.com". This is so that I can then use the prefix as part of the xpath expression to search for an element value in the document eg. extractvalue('/ns4:product/ns4:productline')

Thanks
