Getting Started with DB2 Express-C

Chapter 15 - DB2 pureXML 271
Listing 15.2 - A sample XML document
Then the XQuery statement in Listing 15.3 using the FLWOR expression could be run:
xquery
for $d in db2-fn:xmlcolumn('dept.deptdoc')/dept
let $emp := $d//employee/name
where $d/@bldg > 95
order by $d/@bldg
return
{$d/@bldg, $emp}
Listing 15.3 - A sample XQuery statement with the FLWOR expression
This would return the output shown in Listing 15.4

15.3.4 Inserting XML documents
Inserting XML documents into a DB2 database can be performed using the SQL INSERT
statement, or the IMPORT utility. XQuery cannot be used for this purpose as this has not
yet been defined in the standard.
Let’s examine the script table_creation.txt shown in Listing 15.5 below, which can
be run from the DB2 Command Window or Linux shell using this statement:
db2 –tvf table_creation.txt
-- (1)
drop database mydb
;
-- (2)
create database mydb using codeset UTF-8 territory US
;
-- (3)
connect to mydb
