MAKENODE(doc DOMDocument) RETURN DOMNode

MAKENODE(elem DOMElement) RETURN DOMNode

MAKENODE(t DOMText) RETURN DOMNode

Examples

You can turn a DOMDocument, DOMElement, and DOMText into a DOMNode.

This example creates an XML DOMDocument and turns it into a DOMNode so it can be root. Then, it creates a DOMElement with the tag name Departments, turns it into a node, and appends it to the DOMElement. It then creates a text node DOMNode with the tag name Depts list and appends it as a child to the DOMElement node.

   l_root_node DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMNode;
   l_department_element DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMElement;
   l_departments_node DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMNode;
   l_name_text DBMS_XMLDOM.DOMText;
   l_xmltype XMLTYPE;
