DBMS_XMLGEN, 10 of 13
This procedure sets whether or not special characters in the XML data must be converted into their escaped XML equivalent. For example, the <
sign is converted to <.
The default is to perform conversions.
DBMS_XMLGEN.setConvertSpecialChars (ctx IN ctxHandle, conv IN boolean);
Table 71-10 shows the parameters of the setConvertSpecialChars
procedure.
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
|
The context handle to use. |
|
True indicates that conversion is needed. |
You can use this function to speed up XML processing whenever you are sure that the input data cannot contain any special characters such as <
, >
, ",
'
, which must be escaped. It is expensive to scan the character data to replace the special characters, particularly if it involves a lot of data. In cases where the data is XML-safe, you can call this function to improve performance.
