I have a couple of question on DBMS_METADATA.GET_XML. 1. DBMS_METADATA.GET_XML prints the schema definition in XML format. Is it possible to print only the logical schema definition, and supress the physical sections, such as <SCHEMA_OBJ> ... </SCHEMA_OBJ>, <STORAGE> ... </STORAGE>, etc.? 2. Is there a XML schema available for the output XML from DBMS_METADATA.GET_XML? And a generic questions ... Is there an industry standard for expressing logical relational schema in XML format? Your input is highly appreciated. Thanks, Sanjay Mishra --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? The all-new My Yahoo! ? Get yours free! -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
