Could somebody please help me with the correct syntax for creating an index on an xml field. My (simple) table format is:
CREATE TABLE test_tbl (id_cd integer not null, job xml); INSERT INTO test_tbl VALUES (200, '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><uim:hd xmlns:uim="http://www.cmpy.com/uim"><uim:baseData><uim:internalProductId>202</uim:internalProductId><uim:upcCodes><uim:upcCode>0381370036006</uim:upcCode><uim:upcCode>0000000001236</uim:upcCode></uim:upcCodes></uim:baseData></uim:hd>'); I've tried multiple ways of creating an idex on the <uim:upcCode> element but always get an ERROR: could not create XPath object. Why would the following not work? create index tstTbl_idx on test_tbl (cast(xpath ('//uim:upcCode/text()', job) as text[])); Thanks
