XML Reserved Characters
In XML, some characters are reserved for internal use and you must replace them by entity references when they are used in data.

Exemple
The following example shows the use of an entity reference in place of a less-than symbol (<) in an Action element from an ADF:
<Action>
INSERT INTO FlightNotifications(SubscriberId, DeviceName,
SubscriberLocale, Carrier, LeavingFrom, GoingTo,
Price, Conditions)
SELECT S.SubscriberId, S.DeviceName, S.SubscriberLocale,
E.Carrier, E.LeavingFrom, E.GoingTo, E.Price,
E.Conditions
FROM FlightEvents E, FlightSubscriptions S
WHERE E.LeavingFrom = S.LeavingFrom
AND E.GoingTo = S.GoingTo
AND ( (E.Carrier = S.Airline) OR (S.Airline = '*') )
AND E.Price < S.Price
</Action>
