Best way to fill CLOB with external XML from URL

There seem to be a number of great tools available for pl/sql developers in the 8i DB environment and I am tryng to get a handle on them. So far I have worked with XSQL servlet (not PL/SQL), XML Parser and XSU.
The problem I have is to fill a clob from an external xml file via a url and then make that clob available for DBMS_XMLSave to insert into DB. What is the best way to do this? I am thinking maybe I have to use utl_http or utl_tcp to fill the CLOB since I can't seem to find a method in the pl/sql XDK?
XSU - can easily generate CLOB from a query but in this case it is not a query, it is XML from url
XMlparser - can read in from a url using parse() but the document returned is a DOMDocument rather than CLOB.

  • Best way to fill a datagird with A LOT of data?

    What's the best way to fill a datagrid with A LOT of data.
    I'm talking about something like 10,000 rows. Can the datagrid
    handle it? No screen is large enough to show 10,000 records..... is
    there a way to load 50, and then when a user scrolls down it loads
    the next 50 etc...?

    Right. It's not recommended that you load 10,000 rows into
    the datagrid at once. Using the data management service with paging
    enabled is a much better solution. See the Configuring the Data
    Management Service chapter in the Flex2 Developer's Guide for more
    info.

  • What's the best way to store my info externally

    I have recently bought my first Macbook Pro 13" with 2.4 Ghz. I am currently using it for my own business and do tend to get a lot of files together. I went to look at "About this Mac" and have already got 369 Gb used up in storage... I have no idea how I have done that as I have hardly downloaded any apps on this computer besides the ones that were on here. I did download Vware Fusion 4 as I have a reservation system which I used to run on my pc and need to have this on here too so perhaps that software takes a lot of space.
    Could anyone advise on which is the best way to store my info externally, will any external harddrive do, or do you need a special one for Apple or Macbook pro. I am just asking as I have no idea and prefer to buy the right one straight away.
    Any help would be much appreciated !
    Thanks, Sara***

    Sara,
    The most reliable method is to use an external hard drive.  Some are better than others, but most will work.
    For the least amount of setup pain, I prefer to deal with the Mac specialists at OWC, http://www.macsales.com as they stand behind their products with great warranty and support.  I have one of their Mercury Elite Pro 2 TB drives that has multiple interface capability so you can get a fast interface for data transfer.
    Take a look at what they offer and see what fits your needs.  If you have more questions about doing thin, just ask on here.

  • What is the best way to set up an external drive for video storage

    What is the best way to set up an external drive for video storage?

    Check the formatting. It need to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled). This is also known as HFS+.
    FAT32 and NTFS formatting will not work with iMovie.
    If necessary, you can reformat using Disk Utility.
    Make one large partition. No need for multiple partitions.
    Do moves or copies to the external drive through iMovie as detailed in iMovie Help. If you move Events in the Finder, they may become unlinked from the projects that use them.

  • What is the best way to stream sports with Apple TV

    What is the best way to stream sports with apple TV

    Your question is a little too broad. Hard to know what sports you are talking about.
    If you have a newer Mac, you can use airplay to mirror anything on your Mac to your apple tv. Or use the ESPN app.
    But a lot of sports just can't be streamed as they are available, though I bet this year sees a lot of new livestreams on sports on YouTube or Ustream.

  • The Best Way to engage InDesign with InCopy

    Hello Mr./Ms.
    I have some question about collaborating between InDesign with InCopy. My question is which one the best way to engage InDesign with InCopy, the way number one or number two?
    Usually, I make assignment first in InDesign, and I put that file (.inca) on a server. So the editor can open the inca file from server. Instead of Editor, I take the incx file from server.
    The Editor directly open Indd File from server, so I'm not necessary to create assignment file.
    I hope someone can help to solve this my problem. Thank you very much for attention.
    note: What server and network requirement for best result InDesign and InCopy workflow?
    Best Regards,
    Bambang Damayanto
    [email protected]

    I respectfully disagree; I think assignments are in most cases (not all) more trouble that they're worth.  For your local work, continue w/INDD files only. It just makes things simpler.
    When an editor wants to work on something off-site, the designer can make an assignment on the fly for them.  It could even be the entire document as one large assignment. Since the stories are already exported, you just need to make the assignment (Create New Assignment from the Assignment panel menu) and the drag/drop the linked stories to that assignment. Other people can still open the INDD file but they won't be able to edit the stories that were packaged for the remote editor.

  • Best way to export data with r.t. prompts and have dense dim mbrs on rows?

    Hi All-
    What is the best way to export data with Run time prompts out of Essbase?
    One thought was to use Business Rules with run time variables and DATAEXPORT command, but I came across at least one limitation where I cannot have months (part of dense Time Periods dimension) on rows.
    I have only two dense dimensions: Accounts and Time Periods and I need both of these on rows. This would come handy when user enter Start and End month and year for data to be exported e.g. If start period is Feb 2010 and end is Jan 2011, I get data for all months in 2010 and 2011.

  • Best way to set up iPhoto; external drive

    HI!
    I want to set up iphoto in a way that steals less of my ssd drive space. I will buy a usb 3 harddrive, where I store my pictures. In iphoto I just want a reference to the picture on my external harddrive. But when working, some times I want to delete pictures; can I do this from iphoto, or will I only delete the reference?
    How do I make sure that I have no duplicates, when I store files this way?
    Ok, how do I set this up; is iphoto the best way?

    But when working, some times I want to delete pictures; can I do this from iphoto, or will I only delete the reference?
    It will only delete the Reference. iPhoto is not the best way. If you want to use iPhoto the best way is to run a Managed Library from the external disk.
    For more on iPhoto and file management see this User Tip:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6361
    Aperture is much more powerful in this regard.

  • Best way to move files to external drive in LR 5. Drag and drop or export, if drag and drop

    Best way to move files to external drive in LR 5. Drag and drop or export, if drag and drop can I put all the dated folders into one single folder

    Drag and drop should do the job. Or move the files (or folders) in your operating system and then re-link via http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm
    Yes, you can put all the dated folders into a single folder (but if you plan to do this, then don't try move the files using your operating system and re-link)
    Export most definitely isn't the solution.

  • Best way to control voltage with my code?

    I need to be able to control current and voltage of a power supply. What would be the best way to implement this with my code? I realize that I need to use a DAQmx Start and Stop task. I *think* I would like the task to start when the user runs the program. The voltage and current should be 0 when I start it, or a really low number.
    Currently, the program I am working off of using TraditionalDAQ. It uses 'AO Write One Update.vi' to update the voltage and current. 
    How can I use DAQmx to achieve the same? Is it possible to also have the DAQmx code in an event structure in the same way?
    Can I do this in my event structure, in a new event? The code below shows my code. There are two loops, the bottom one handles acquisition and logging. The top one handles the events.

    There are an excellent series of NI Tutorials on DAQmx.  Not that they are easy to find, but start here:  DAQmx White Papers.  This is an especially useful White Paper:  The Top 10 DAQmx Functions.
    Something that also helps a lot is to configure your device using MAX (and use MAX to run it to be sure it is working correctly).  Once you have it configured, save it as a Task, which encapsulates all of the "picky details" (such as channel names/numbers, sampling rates, clock sources, etc.).  When you go to write your code, simply right-click on the Start Task VI and create a constant, expand the Constant (which should show you MAX's Tasks), and choose the Task you just created.  No need for numerous confusing DAQmx Configuration VIs.

  • Best way to share analytics with 3rd party?

    What's the best way to share analytics with a third party (our client in this case)? Setup a new DPS user and restrict access to just analytics (is that even possible)? Is there some other software out there to accomplish this? Perhaps something that scrapes itunesconnect? Basically, our client wants sales numbers. I'd like to go a step further and provide content stats.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

  • Best way to bundle JavaHelp with application

    What is the best way to bundle JavaHelp with an application....
    At present I have to run the application that uses JavaHelp as follows
    java -classpath ;lib/jhall.jar HelpMenu
    Is there a better way? so that when the application is moved to a client machine the classpath to the javaHelp jhall.jar does not have to be supplied as above?
    Cheers :)

    If you don't want to specify the classpath you can
    1> either create a batch/shell script with lauches the app with the appropriate classpath
    2> You jar your app and specify the classpath in your jars's MANIFEST.MF file like this.
    Main-Class: main class name which will launch the app
    Class-Path: jhall.jar
    The above entries assume jhall.jar is in the same dir as your main jar. You can put more jars in the classpath above by separating them with space.
    With this the app can be just lauched by typing: java -jar filaname.jar

    DB2 Connect version 8.2 is no longer supported by IBM (support ended April 30, 2009, see http://www.ibm.com/software/data/support/lifecycle/). As far as I know, DB2 Connect is communicating through DRDA, which is a platform-independent protocol supported by all DB2 platforms, so any DB2 Connect client should be able to talk to any DB2 database. However, there may be limitations on the supported release combinations.
    Kind regards,

    Use Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.bombich.com/index.html or SuperDuper.  http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html  Both make a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive.
