In PostgreSQL 11 (and 10 I think) you can do something like this:

=# CREATE TABLE xmldata AS SELECT xml $$
<emp>
<emp_details emp_id="101"  emp_name="tom" dept="development"/>
</emp>
$$
as data;
=# SELECT xmltable.*
FROM xmldata,
   xmltable('/emp/emp_details/@*' passing data
     columns atrr text path 'name()');
    atrr
----------
  emp_id
  emp_name
  dept
