Correctly Removing Zero-Quantity Items from XML Query Results
The problem is that you’re using = instead of < in the XPath expression. The correct XPath expression should be: $NEWXML/*:ReceiptDesc/*:Receipt[./*:ReceiptDtl/*:unit_qty/text() = $NAME] should be changed to: $NEWXML/*:ReceiptDesc/*:Receipt[./*:ReceiptDtl/*:unit_qty/text() = '0.0000'] Here’s the corrected code: with XML_TABLE as ( select xmltype( q'[&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?&gt; &lt;ReceiptDesc xmlns="http //www.w3.org/2000/svg"&gt; &lt;appt_nbr&gt;0&lt;/appt_nbr&gt; &lt;Receipt&gt; &lt;dc_dest_id&gt;ST&lt;/dc_dest_id&gt; &lt;po_nbr&gt;1232&lt;/po_nbr&gt; &lt;document_type&gt;T&lt;/document_type&gt; &lt;asn_nbr&gt;0033&lt;/asn_nbr&gt; &lt;ReceiptDtl&gt; &lt;item_id&gt;100233127&lt;/item_id&gt; &lt;unit_qty&gt;0.0000&lt;/unit_qty&gt; &lt;user_id&gt;EXTERNAL&lt;/user_id&gt; &lt;shipped_qty&gt;6.0000&lt;/shipped_qty&gt; &lt;/ReceiptDtl&gt; &lt;from_loc&gt;WH&lt;/from_loc&gt; &lt;from_loc_type&gt;W&lt;/from_loc_type&gt; &lt;/Receipt&gt; &lt;Receipt&gt; &lt;dc_dest_id&gt;ST&lt;/dc_dest_id&gt; &lt;po_nbr&gt;1233&lt;/po_nbr&gt; &lt;document_type&gt;T&lt;/document_type&gt; &lt;asn_nbr&gt;0033&lt;/asn_nbr&gt; &lt;ReceiptDtl&gt; &lt;item_id&gt;355532244&lt;/item_id&gt; &lt;unit_qty&gt;2.0000&lt;/unit_qty&gt; &lt;user_id&gt;EXTERNAL&lt;/user_id&gt; &lt;shipped_qty&gt;2.

The impact of order on SQL query performance: Separating fact from fiction.
Understanding SQL Query Performance: Does Order Matter? When working with SQL, one of the most common questions asked by developers is whether the order of a query affects its performance. In this article, we’ll delve into the world of SQL optimization and explore how the order of a query can impact its execution time. The Declarative Nature of SQL SQL is often referred to as a declarative language because it allows us to focus on what we want to achieve rather than how to achieve it.
