FORMAT SYS_DBURIGEN ( { column | attribute } [rowid] [, { column | attribute } [rowid]]... [, 'text( )'] ) DESCRIPTION SYS_DBURIGEN takes as its argument one or more columns or attributes, and optionally a ROWID, and generates a URL of datatype DBUriType to a particular column or row object. You can then use the URL to retrieve an XML document from the database. All columns or attributes referenced must reside in the same table. They must perform the function of a primary key. That is, they need not actually match the primary keys of the table, but they must reference a unique value. If you specify multiple columns, all but the final column identify the row in the database, and the last column specified identifies the column within the row. By default the URL points to a formatted XML document. If you want the URL to point only to the text of the document, specify the optional 'text()'. (In this XML context, the lowercase 'text' is a keyword, not a syntactic placeholder.) SYS_EXTRACT_UTC SEE ALSO Chapter 10 FORMAT SYS_EXTRACT_UTC ( datetime_with_timezone ) DESCRIPTION SYS_EXTRACT_UTC extracts the UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) from a datetime with time zone displacement. SYS_GUID FORMAT SYS_GUID ( ) DESCRIPTION SYS_GUID generates and returns a globally unique identifier (RAW value) made up of 16 bytes. On most platforms, the generated identifier consists of a host identifier and a process or thread identifier of the process or thread invoking the function, and a nonrepeating value (sequence of bytes) for that process or thread. SYS_TYPEID SEE ALSO Chapter 38 FORMAT SYS_TYPEID ( object_type_value ) DESCRIPTION SYS_TYPEID returns the type ID of the most specific type of the operand. This value is used primarily to identify the type-discriminant column underlying a substitutable column. For example, you can use the value returned by SYS_TYPEID to build an index on the type-discriminant column. SYS_XMLAGG SEE ALSO SYS_XMLGEN, Chapter 45 FORMAT SYS_XMLAGG ( expr [fmt] ) SYS_XMLAGG 1265
1266 Part VIII: Alphabetical Reference DESCRIPTION SYS_XMLAGG aggregates all of the XML documents or fragments represented by expr and produces a single XML document. It adds a new enclosing element with a default name ROWSET. If you want to format the XML document differently, specify fmt, which is an instance of the SYS.XMLGenFormatType object. SYS_XMLGEN SEE ALSO SYS_XMLAGG, Chapter 52 FORMAT SYS_XMLGEN ( expr [fmt] ) DESCRIPTION SYS_XMLGEN takes an expression that evaluates to a particular row and column of the database, and returns an instance of type SYS.XMLType containing an XML document. The expr can be a scalar value, a user-defined type, or an XMLType instance. If expr is a scalar value, the function returns an XML element containing the scalar value. If expr is a type, the function maps the user-defined type attributes to XML elements. If expr is an XMLType instance, then the function encloses the document in an XML element whose default tag name is ROW. By default the elements of the XML document match the elements of expr. For example, if expr resolves to a column name, the enclosing XML element will be the same column name. If you want to format the XML document differently, specify fmt, which is an instance of the SYS.XMLGenFormatType object. SYSDATE SEE ALSO Chapter 10 FORMAT SYSDATE DESCRIPTION SYSDATE returns the current date and time. EXAMPLE select SYSDATE from DUAL; SYSTIMESTAMP SEE ALSO Chapter 10 FORMAT SYSTIMESTAMP DESCRIPTION SYSTIMESTAMP returns the current date and time. EXAMPLE select SYSTIMESTAMP from DUAL; TABLE (PL/SQL) SEE ALSO DATATYPES, RECORD (PL/SQL) FORMAT TYPE new_type IS TABLE OF {type | table.column%TYPE}[NOT NULL] INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
