if you can use plperl, then you can use following procedures or you can
use one part of contrib
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION ext.xml(varchar, varchar) RETURNS text AS $$
use DBI;
use XML::Generator::DBI;
use XML::Handler::YAWriter;
my $rv = spi_exec_query("SELECT current_setting('client_encoding'), " .
"current_database()", 1);
my $encoding = lc($rv->{rows}[0]->{current_setting[5~});
my $cdb = $rv->{rows}[0]->{current_database};
my $dbh = DBI->connect ("DBI:Pg:dbname=$cdb", "", "", { RaiseError =>
1, PrintError => 0});
my $ya = XML::Handler::YAWriter->new (Encoding=>$encoding,
Pretty => {PrettyWhiteNewline => 1, PrettyWhiteIndent => 1,});
my $gen = XML::Generator::DBI->new (Handler => $ya, dbh => $dbh,
ByColumnName => 1, ShowColumns =>
1,
Stylesheet => $_[1],);
$gen->execute ($_[0]);
$dbh->disconnect ();
return join('',@{$ya->{Strings}});
$$ LANGUAGE plperlu;
SELECT ext.xml('SELECT * FROM ext.names LIMIT 10','x01.xsl');
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION ext.rxml(varchar) RETURNS SETOF RECORD AS $$
use XML::Parser; use Encode;
my %rec; my @tref = ();
my $parser = new XML::Parser (
Handlers => {
Start => sub {
my ($p, $tag) = @_;
if ($tag eq "row" && $p->depth==2) { %rec = ();}},
End => sub {
my ($p, $tag) = @_;
if ($tag eq 'row') {push @tref, +{ %rec }; }},
Char => sub {
my ($p, $data) = @_;
my $tag = $p->current_element ();

$rec{$tag} .= encode("iso-8859-2", $data) if $data ne
"";}},
});
$parser->parsefile ($_[0]);
return \@tref;
$$ LANGUAGE plperlu;
CREATE VIEW ext.xmlj AS SELECT * FROM ext.rxml('/tmp/names.xml') AS (
