    SYS_XMLGEN returning blank records, PLEASE HELP, COMPLETE NEWBIE

    Hi,
    I am a complete beginner with Oracle 9i and XML within it, not XML
    alone though.
    I am trying to do a regular SELECT statement using the SQL Scratchpad
    within the Oracle Enterprise Manager and am trying to have it return
    XML rather than the usual rows of data. Someone told me to try this:

    SELECT SYS_XMLGEN (BRN_LAST_NAME)
    FROM "USCMS"."BROKER _NAME"

    It is returning the proper amount of rows but they are blank. What can
    I do to query a regular tables within Oracle, not an XML schema, and
    have XML as my output rather than rows of data or blank rows?

    PLEASE HELP me get started. Please send me code or samples, not links
    to tons of information.
Working...
