Oracle XML DB
Describes Autonomous Database support for Oracle XML DB features. To ensure the security and the performance of your Autonomous Database, some Oracle XML DB features are restricted.
The following is supported, in addition to the features listed:
-
Full support for XMLQuery, XMLTable, and other SQL/XML standard functions
-
Indexing schema including functional indexes using SQL/XML expressions, Structured XMLIndex and XQuery Full Text Index
If you migrate tables containing
XMLType columns to Autonomous Database using Oracle Data Pump, you need to convert to Non-Schema
Binary XML prior to using Oracle Data Pump Export (expdp).
