Thread: xml2 support

<tt>I'm confused by the deprecation notice on xml2 seen <a
href="http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/interactive/xml2.html">here</a>.<br/><br /> What if anything was removed in
themaking of 8.4? Was the newer standard API implemented? Do I still need namespaces?<br /><br /> I'm running
PostgreSQL9.0.3 built locally with --with-libxml.  Which version, w.r.t. to the deprecation, might I be using.<br
/></tt>

I believe that 8.3 introduced the SQL/XML standard. "With-libxml" is the contribution that enables this, so it's most
likelywhat you're using. Some commercial vendors have also adopted this standard.
