XMLTABLE implementation is done

I finished the patch for XMLTABLE in PostgreSQL. It is working well. Examples what I found on net works:

postgres=#   SELECT t.id, x.*
     FROM employees t,
          XMLTABLE ('/Employees/Employee[age>40]'
                    PASSING t.data
                    COLUMNS firstname VARCHAR(30) PATH 'firstname', 
                            lastname VARCHAR(30) PATH 'lastname',
                            age VARCHAR(30) PATH 'age') x
    WHERE t.id = 1;
┌────┬───────────┬──────────┬─────┐

                    COLUMNS firstname VARCHAR(30) PATH 'firstname', 
                            lastname VARCHAR(30) PATH 'lastname') x

Prototype of XMLTABLE function is done

The parsing of XML is not simple in Postgres. For more complex data I prefer external procedures in PLPerlu or PLPythonu based on usage of Xmlreader. I hope so this this time will be history. With ANSI SQL XMLTABLE function a transformation of any XML document to table is simple and fast:

postgres=# SELECT * FROM xmldata;
