Controls the generation of an XML declaration when XML data is
implicitly serialized to an application variable.
- db2cli.ini keyword syntax:
- XMLDeclaration = non-negative integer < 7 | 7
- Default setting:
- A BOM and an XML declaration containing the XML version and
encoding attribute are generated during implicit serialization.
- Usage notes:
-
The XMLDeclaration keyword controls which elements of an XML declaration
are prepended to an application buffer when XML data is implicitly serialized
to an application buffer. This setting does not affect the result of the XMLSERIALIZE
function.
The following values represent components to be generated
during implicit serialization. Set this keyword by adding together the value
of each component required.
- 0
- No declarations or byte order marks (BOMs) are added to the output buffer.
- 1
- A byte order mark (BOM) in the appropriate endianness is
prepended to the output buffer if the target encoding is UTF-16 or UTF-32.
(Although a UTF-8 BOM exists, the database server does not generate it, even
if the target encoding is UTF-8.)
- 2
- A minimal XML declaration is generated, containing only the XML version.
- 4
- An encoding attribute that identifies the target encoding is added to
any generated XML declaration. Therefore, this setting only has effect when
the setting of 2 is also included when computing the value of this keyword.
For example, if you wanted a BOM and minimal XML
declaration (without an encoding attribute) to be generated during implicit
serialization, you would set XMLDeclaration = 3, where 3
is the sum of 1 (the value to indicate generation of a BOM) and 2 (the value
to indicate generation of a minimal XML declaration).
To prevent any declarations or BOM from being generated, set XMLDeclaration
as follows: XMLDeclaration = 0.
