Yes, it follows XML Schema. Which is why the output format is even slightly
different from the SQL-mandated ISO format.
i understand, but that makes it very difficult to change the date format
afterwards. i simple flag to indicate no date conversion would be
helpfull....
Well, these table_to_xml etc. functions are heavily constrained by the
SQL standard, XML Schema, and others. They do what they are supposed to
do. You are free to design your own XML export format or apply
postprocessing to the existing ones (XSLT?). I don't think we should
overload the existing functions with everyone's favorite but apparently
completely nonstandard formatting variant flag.
