AFAIK, contrib/xml2 doesn't support namespaces for XPath expressions at all. Wait for PostgreSQL 8.3 :-) On 7/9/07, CG <cgg007@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
select xpath_string($xml$<?xml version="1.0" ?> <f:foo xmlns:f="foo"> <f:bar>baz</f:bar> </f:foo> $xml$ ,'//f:bar/text()'); This does not give me back "baz" as I was expecting it to... It seems like xpath is ignoring the namespace directives in the source XML document. ____________________________________________________________________________________ TV dinner still cooling?
