Hi all!
What i need is transform xml document to table like that:
insert into tmp("Name", "Value")
select t.Name, t.Value from myxml.Nodes("/doc/person") as
t('Name:varchar|Value:int')
or similar. In fact I have many rows with many columns.

How I can do it with PG 9.0.3 where I can't find xpath_table?

Though deprecated, the xml2 contrib module with xpath_table is still
present. Installation instructions can be found on
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/contrib.html and the module is
documented at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/xml2.html.
