Using DB.XML to retrieve nested table entries in OTM Data Export

You can export data out of OTM using DB.XML method. its cleaner than using CSV and you can also retrieve required child records along with parent.

For example : to retrieve Shipment and associated shipment_stop records , use below query in DB.XML Export option

Query :

select shipment.*,cursor(select * from shipment_stop where shipment_stop.shipment_gid=shipment.shipment_gid) as shipment_stop from shipment where shipment_gid  in (’ABC.1001’,’ABC.1002’)

Root: SHIPMENT
