I need to generate a document that include fields provided in following.
CREATE TABLE t

    x_accessory_code               VARCHAR2(3 BYTE),
    x_install_loc                  CHAR(3 BYTE));


INSERT INTO apps.T

I found the answer, using AS CLOB INDENT.

Thanks for the feedback, I often asked myself how to get it.
Where do you put this option?

Regards
Michel

Michel,

INDENT is an option in the XMLSERIALIZE syntax. If you are not using XMLSERIALIZE then EXTRACT('*') is supposed to provide "pretty printing", but it seems to have the opposite effect on my system. It might work the other way around for you. Perhaps there is some default parameter setting that I have not been able to find or perhaps it is dependent upon version and/or operating system and the usage of EXTRACT('*') acts like a toggle. Please see the demonstrations below

-- INDENT with XMLSERIALIZE:
-- default no indent:
SCOTT@orcl_11gR2> select xmlserialize
  2  	      (document xmltype
  3  		 ('<a><b><c>something</c></b></a>'))
  4  from   dual
  5  /

XMLSERIALIZE(DOCUMENTXMLTYPE('<A><B><C>SOMETHING</C></B></A>'))
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<a><b><c>something</c></b></a>

1 row selected.

-- indent with default size of 2 spaces:
SCOTT@orcl_11gR2> select xmlserialize
  2  	      (document xmltype
  3  		 ('<a><b><c>something</c></b></a>')
  4  	       indent)
  5  from   dual
  6  /

XMLSERIALIZE(DOCUMENTXMLTYPE('<A><B><C>SOMETHING</C></B></A>')INDENT)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<a>
  <b>
    <c>something</c>
  </b>
</a>


1 row selected.

-- indent 5 spaces:
SCOTT@orcl_11gR2> select xmlserialize
  2  	      (document xmltype
  3  		 ('<a><b><c>something</c></b></a>')
  4  	       indent size = 5)
  5  from   dual
  6  /

XMLSERIALIZE(DOCUMENTXMLTYPE('<A><B><C>SOMETHING</C></B></A>')INDENTSIZE=5)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<a>
     <b>
          <c>something</c>
     </b>
</a>


1 row selected.


-- EXTRACT('*') for "pretty printing" works the opposite from what documentation says on my system:
-- should not be indented, but is:
SCOTT@orcl_11gR2> select xmltype ('<a><b><c>something</c></b></a>')
  2  from   dual
  3  /

XMLTYPE('<A><B><C>SOMETHING</C></B></A>')
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<a>
  <b>
    <c>something</c>
  </b>
</a>


1 row selected.

-- should produce indentation but does the opposite:
SCOTT@orcl_11gR2> select xmltype ('<a><b><c>something</c></b></a>').extract('*')
  2  from   dual
  3  /

XMLTYPE('<A><B><C>SOMETHING</C></B></A>').EXTRACT('*')
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<a><b><c>something</c></b></a>

1 row selected.

I now know why I didn't find it, I mostly work on 10.2 and this option does not exist in this version. Wink
In 11.2, on Windows XP, I got the same output than you on the first 3 queries, on the latest 2 ones here's what I get (11.2.0.1.0):
SQL> select xmltype ('<a><b><c>something</c></b></a>')
  2  from   dual
  3  /
XMLTYPE('<A><B><C>SOMETHING</C></B></A>')
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
<a><b><c>something</c></b></a>

1 row selected.

SQL> select xmltype ('<a><b><c>something</c></b></a>').extract('*')
  2  from   dual
  3  /
XMLTYPE('<A><B><C>SOMETHING</C></B></A>').EXTRACT('*')
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
<a><b><c>something</c></b></a>

1 row selected.

So it seems I have to use xmlserialize to indent which is a reasonable thing to add. Smile
Tomorrow I will check on other systems (AIX, Linux).

Thanks and regards
Michel

On Linux (11.2.0.1 and 11.2.0.2), I get the same thing than you.
On AIX (11.2.0.2), I get the same thing than what I got on Windows XP.
