XMLType.extract vs extractValue

419751May 13 2006 — edited Apr 8 2008
I was told that the syntax

extractvalue(value(t), '/ROW/LASTNAME/text()') LASTNAME

should be used over

xmltype.extract(value(t), '/ROW/LASTNAME/text()').getStringVal() LASTNAME

Is this just a preferred syntax, or is it a standard?

Thanks!
