I want to import XML file into PG database table.
I've find functions to get the XML content of a cell after imported an XML file with the pg_get_file function.
But, I want to explode the XML content to colums. How can I do this ?

In short, you need to import the content as a document value first then use functions to explode that document.

You should find the documentation helpful.

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/functions-xml.html

Specifically, "xmltable"

Keep in mind that "context as a document value" can just be a literal.
