 (year from sysdate
-300) from dual
;

select extract
(month from sysdate
-10) from dual

extract with XML

extract
(xml-type-instance, 'xpath-expression
')
extract (xml-type-instance, 'xpath-expression ', 'name-space')
extract is similar to existsNode()

An example

create table
 some_things of xmltype
;
Three xml documents are inserted into the table.
insert into some_things values (xmltype
('
<things>
<numbers><item>1 </item><item>59 </item></numbers>
<animals><item>bird </item><item>cat </item><item>dog </item></animals>
</things>
'));

insert into some_things values (xmltype('
<things>
<countries><item>Canada </item><item>Egypt </item><item>Italy </item></countries>
<numbers><item>55 </item><item>101 </item></numbers>
</things>
'));

insert into some_things values (xmltype('
<things>
<cities><item>New York </item><item>Tokyo </item><item>Zurich </item></cities>
<animals><item>elephant </item><item>snake </item></animals>
</things>
'));
Selecting the 2nd animal in each document:
select extract
(object_value
,'/things/animals/item[position
()=2]') "2nd Animal" from some_things;
2nd Animal
------------------------------------------------------------
<item>cat</item>

<item>snake</item>
The 2nd inserted document doesn't have an animal, so null is returned instead.
