Oracle, SQL Task, and XML

["Renick, Garrel" <ga...@more.net>]

I'm trying to get an XML result set from an Oracle 9i server using ANT's
SQL task with the Oracle JDBC Thin Driver. I can successfully connect to
the database and issue standard SQL through the ANT SQL task and get the
expected result set. However, if I issue SELECT statements with Oracle's
XML-related functions, the output file for the results contains values
that do not match those returned by Oracle's SQLPlus command line
interpreter. I'm not an Oracle guy, so any insight into what my problem
may be would be appreciated.

Here's my query:

SELECT XMLELEMENT("Document") FROM some_view@some_server where
rownum<10;

Oracle's SQLPlus returns these results:

XMLELEMENT("DOCUMENT")
-------------------------------

<Document></Document>
<Document></Document>
<Document></Document>
<Document></Document>
<Document></Document>
<Document></Document>
<Document></Document>
<Document></Document>
<Document></Document>

9 rows selected.


The same query from ANT's SQL task returns this:

XMLELEMENT("DOCUMENT")
null
null
null
null
null
null
null
null
null
