Comment puis-je me débarrasser des balises XML vides indésirables ?

Vous pouvez utiliser un XMLForest(.. as "recordingInfo") imbriqué appeler au lieu de XMLElement("recordingInfo") :

SELECT XMLAGG(XMLElement("Cue"  -- start level 5 tag for cue
  ,XMLFOREST( rownum as "cueId"
  ,cc.dn_ccst_status as "cueStatusType"
  ,decode(cc.dn_ccst_status,'5',cc.cup_code,NULL) as  "cueCupType" )
  ,XMLElement("musicWork"  -- start level 6 tag for music title
    ,XMLFOREST(cc.title as "musicTitle")
    ,XMLFOREST(
      XMLFOREST(cc.source_album_title as "albumTitle"
        ,cc.product_album_promo_title as "promoTitle"
        ,cc.label as  "label"
        ,cc.catalogue_no as "catalogNumber"
        ,cc.isrc as "isrc") as "recordingInfo"  -- start level 7 tag for music title
      )
    )  -- end level 6 tag for music title
  )  -- end level 5 tag cue
)
FROM creation_components cc
WHERE cc.prod_cre_surr_id = 22736214;

Avec des données factices pour correspondre à votre exemple de sortie et un XMLSerialise wrapper pour embellir la sortie :

WITH creation_components (prod_cre_surr_id, dn_ccst_status, cup_code, title,
  source_album_title, product_album_promo_title, label, catalogue_no, isrc) as
(
  SELECT 22736214, 5, 'W', '[email protected]',
    null, null, null, null, null from dual
)
SELECT XMLSERIALIZE(Document
  XMLAGG(XMLElement("Cue"  -- start level 5 tag for cue
    ,XMLFOREST( rownum as "cueId"
    ,cc.dn_ccst_status as "cueStatusType"
    ,decode(cc.dn_ccst_status,'5',cc.cup_code,NULL) as  "cueCupType" )
    ,XMLElement("musicWork"  -- start level 6 tag for music title
      ,XMLFOREST(cc.title as "musicTitle")
      ,XMLFOREST(
        XMLFOREST(cc.source_album_title as "albumTitle"
          ,cc.product_album_promo_title as "promoTitle"
          ,cc.label as  "label"
          ,cc.catalogue_no as "catalogNumber"
          ,cc.isrc as "isrc") as "recordingInfo"  -- start level 7 tag for music title
        )
      )  -- end level 6 tag for music title 
    )  -- end level 5 tag cue
  )
  as CLOB INDENT SIZE = 2
)
FROM creation_components cc
WHERE cc.prod_cre_surr_id = 22736214;

obtient

XMLSERIALIZE(DOCUMENTXMLAGG(XMLELEMENT("CUE"--STARTLEVEL5TAGFORCUE,XMLFOREST(ROW

Avec des données non nulles dans les dernières colonnes :

la balise supplémentaire apparaît toujours :
