xmlelement

The xmlelement expression produces an XML element with the given name, attributes, and content. The name and attname items shown in the syntax are simple identifiers, not values. The attvalue and content items are expressions, which can yield any PostgreSQL data type. The argument(s) within XMLATTRIBUTES generate attributes of the XML element; the content value(s) are concatenated to form its content.

English manual coverage begins with PostgreSQL 7.1. Source history and runtime observations have their own recorded version boundaries.
