How to do an update with XML column ?

[celati Laurent <laurent.celati@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

I'm taking the liberty to ask an question. Do you know if there are some ways in order to update and/or do group by with an XML column ? 

For instance, 

select id, unnest(xpath(
        '//cit:CI_Organisation/cit:name/gco:CharacterString/text()',
       CAST(data AS XML),
        ARRAY[
            ARRAY['cit', 'http://standards.iso.org/iso/19115/-3/cit/2.0'],
            ARRAY['gco', 'http://standards.iso.org/iso/19115/-3/gco/1.0'],
            ARRAY['mdb','http://standards.iso.org/iso/19115/-3/mdb/2.0'],
            ARRAY['cat','http://standards.iso.org/iso/19115/-3/cat/1.0'],
        ])) as orga_name, changedate, createdate, displayorder, doctype, extra, popularity, rating, root, schemaid, title, istemplate, isharvested, harvesturi,
       harvestuuid, groupowner, metadata.owner, metadata.source, uuid
from public.metadata
group by orga_name

I obtained : 

ERROR:  could not identify an equality operator for type xml
LINE 39: group by orga_name
                  ^ 

SQL state: 42883
Character: 2556

Thanks so much
