Hello,
having problem with conversion while doing function query_to_xml.

query_to_xml('select Nazev as "TITLE", Datum as "DATE", Autor_Akce as "meta
rel=''action_author''", ....

gave me

<table xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance&quot;&gt;
<row>
<TITLE>Test</TITLE>
<DATE>2009-07-20</DATE>
<meta_x0020_rel_x003D__x0027_action_author_x0027_>test
</meta_x0020_rel_x003D__x0027_action_author_x0027_>

How can i transcode this well generated xml(ascii) to string(UTF8) without the
escape characters?

I found nothing on google...

Regards,
Radek Novotny

This has nothing to do with ASCII vs. UTF-8. The problem is that "meta
rel='action_author'" is not a valid XML *element* name, so it needs to be
escaped. What you are trying to achieve is presumably to get a meta element
with a rel attribute. To get that, you will have to run the result of
query_to_xml through some postprocessing (with XSLT, for example).
