From: Mike Berrow on 28 Jun 2010 11:08 We need to make extensive use of the 'xml_is_well_formed' function provided by the XML2 module. Yet the documentation says that the xml2 module will be deprecated since "XML syntax checking and XPath queries" is covered by the XML-related functionality based on the SQL/XML standard in the core server from PostgreSQL 8.3 onwards. However, the core function XMLPARSE does not provide equivalent functionality since when it detects an invalid XML document, it throws an error rather than returning a truth value (which is what we need and currently have with the 'xml_is_well_formed' function). For example: select xml_is_well_formed('<br></br2>'); xml_is_well_formed -------------------- f (1 row) select XMLPARSE( DOCUMENT '<br></br2>' ); ERROR: invalid XML document DETAIL: Entity: line 1: parser error : expected '>' <br></br2> ^ Entity: line 1: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document <br></br2> ^ Is there some way to use the new, core XML functionality to simply return a truth value in the way that we need?. Thanks, -- Mike Berrow
