PostgreSQL Error 2200S: Invalid XML Comment Detected

Known Causes
3 known causesInvalid XML Comment Syntax
XML comments must strictly adhere to the `<!-- comment content -->` format. Missing delimiters or incorrect character sequences within the comment body can cause this error.
Unescaped '-->' within Comment
The sequence `-->` is not allowed inside an XML comment's content without proper escaping, as it signifies the end of the comment. Its presence will prematurely terminate the comment.
Programmatically Generated Malformed XML
When XML data is created by an application or script, a bug in the generation logic can lead to incorrectly formatted XML comments that violate the XML specification.
