+
+ <para>
+ The function <function>xmlexists</function> returns true if the
+ XPath expression in the first argument returns any nodes, and
+ false otherwise. (If either argument is null, the result is
+ null.)
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Example:
+ <screen><![CDATA[
+SELECT xmlexists('//town[text() = ''Toronto'']' PASSING BY REF '<towns><town>Toronto</town><town>Ottawa</town></towns>');
+
+ xmlexists
+------------

+]]></screen>
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The <literal>BY REF</literal> clauses have no effect in
+ PostgreSQL, but are allowed for SQL conformance and compatibility
+ with other implementations. Per SQL standard, the
+ first <literal>BY REF</literal> is required, the second is
+ optional. Also note that the SQL standard specifies
+ the <function>xmlexists</function> construct to take an XQuery
+ expression as first argument, but PostgreSQL currently only
+ supports XPath, which is a subset of XQuery.
