Common Pitfalls When Exporting Oracle to XML

  • XML separates elements from attributes, so the same value has two possible shapes - pick one and stay with it.
  • Characters such as ampersand, less-than and greater-than must be escaped, and one raw ampersand breaks the document.
  • Namespaces and prefixes have to be declared once, or the file will not validate.
  • An empty string is stored as NULL in Oracle, so blank cells may reload as NULL.
  • DATE always carries a time part, even when only the day was entered.
