Extract XML data based on column tag

Dear All,
i want to extract the XML data type based on column selection.
For example:
i have the below xml in my database stored as XMLTYPE() data.
<c1>10</c1><c2>0011</c2><c3>DEBIT</c3><c4>USD</c4>
i want to extract the column tag c2&c3 alone. Is there any query to extract the same.
Waiting for your response.Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
How do I set the web service option up correctly? The XMLs are being created behind the scenes on what data to be used but I don't know how to make the menu only pick the xml based on the menu option.
I have one XML that populates the menu options and specific XML's that has the data that goes with each menu option. The menu population works great but it doesn't pull the other XML's to populate the charts. This is the part that I need help.
How do I use the web service to fix this? Any help would be very much appriecated. I could even send you my dashboard if it helps so you can see what I've gotten so far (it's not all prettied up yet since I wanted to see if it's doable first)
I'm new to Xcelsius so I apologize if these are newbie questions.
Thanks,
Jay

I've to extract the data based on the sysdate...like today dd is 11,

BM_PERF is the table name and
BM_PERF_YR,BM_PERF_MONTH,BM_NOP_CT_1........BM_NOP_CT_31 are the column names.
I've to extract the data based on the sysdate...like today dd is 11
so i've to get data from BM_NOP_CT_11 and the column names changes dynamically based on the sysdate. don't use any procedures and functions.

You could always pivot it into a more convenient form for querying:

FROM   t2;
        YR       MNTH DAY_VALUE
      2008          4 17
1 row selected.Note that SYS_OP_CEG (first discovered by Padders) is undocumented and unsupported - for production code you'd need to pick the collection row using a WHERE clause, and for that you'd need a custom object and collection type with an attribute to hold the day number.

Problem with extracting Xml data source fields

Post Author: new_crystal
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi,
I am creating a report which has a xml data source.
I have a field named fieldvalue in the xml, I need to present this fieldvalue in a column format based on the name of the column heading which is another field in the database called fielddata
here is what i want
fielddata1 fielddata2 fielddata3 .......
fieldvalue1 fieldvalue2 fieldvalue3......
i have dragged the fieldvalue 3 times in the report and applied different formula for each one of them
here is the eg. of the formula
if ( = "A" ) then
but it is not giving me the correct values pulled from the data source. for the first column it is pulling correctly but for the rest of the columns it is giving values as 0's.
Can anyone help me out in this? It is pretty urgent!
Thanks

I have no idea how to format it in Crystal Reports (i'm new to it too), but if worse comes to worse, you can create an XSLT stylesheet to convert the XML into a format that is easier for Crystal to use.
In case you don't know XSLT is a programming language that is designed to convert one XML format into another.

Best way to extract XML data to DB

Hello,
In our work we need to extract data from XML documents into a database. Here are some extra notes:
+ There is no constant schema for the XML documents.
+ Some processing on the XML files is required.
+ The XML documents are very big.
+ The database is Oracle 8i or 9i (Enterprise Edition both) and our framework is NET.
Our questions are:
1. What is the best way to extract the data into the database under the above circumstances ?
2. In case there was a constant schema for the XML documents, would there be a better way ?
3. Is writing the data to text files first, and then loading it via SQL-Loader is an effective way ?
Any thoughts would be welcome. Thanks.

Hi Nicolas,
The answer depends on your actual storage method (binary, OR, CLOB?), and db version.
You can try XMLTable, it might be better in this case :
SELECT x.elem1, x.elem2, ... , x.elem20
FROM your_table t
   , XMLTable(
      '/an/xpath/to/extract'
      passing t.myxmltype
      columns elem1 varchar2(30) path 'elem1'
            , elem2 varchar2(30) path 'elem2'
            , elem20 varchar2(30) path 'elem20'
     ) x
;

How to extract required data from a column to a flat file

my ssis package is working OK. However, I want to refine one of the column extraction.
when data is extracted to the flat file, I just want to the initials, firstname, lastname e.g.
FZ = Ben Smith, Add1, add1, etc
the only bit that i want is Ben Smith
how can i state in the package to just give me the name and exclude the rest
sukai

Add a derived column task to extract Name part alone and give expression as below
LEFT([ColumnName],FINDSTRING([ColumnName],",",1)-1)
If before SSIS 2012 use SUBSTRING
SUBSTRING([ColumnName],1,FINDSTRING([ColumnName],",",1)-1)

How to insert 4K of XML data into XMLType column?

I use OCCI and our Oracle version is 9.2.0.1.0. I have successfully been able to insert xml data (any size) into a clob column using "insert into...values(.., empty_clob()) returning c1 into :3"; and then using Statement::GetClob() to acquire a reference to the internal clob and populate it. I cannot seem to be able to do the same when the column type is of XMLType.
I could not find a single sample code which demonstrates inserting into a table with a XMLType column. Using SetDataBuffer(OCCI_SQLT_STR) with data over 4000 bytes does not work.
I'd greatly appreciate any feedback.

Pretty sure this was a bug in the base 9.2 release which was fixed in a patch drop. Try 9.2.0.6 or later.

Struts - Formatting date in display:column tag

Hi ,
I am using the following code to format the date in my display tag
<display:column headerClass="myclass" property="submittedDate" title="DATE SUBMITTED" decorator="org.displaytag.sample.LongDateWrapper" />     which displays the date like '12/22/2005 00:00'
I don't need this format . Instead ,I want to extend the decorator and create my own . For that , I'm using
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import org.displaytag.decorator.TableDecorator;
public class DateDecorator extends TableDecorator{
     public DateDecorator(){
          super();
          System.out.println("Date decorator constructor called...");
     public String getSubmittedDate(Object obj){
          SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat();
          sdf.applyPattern("MM/dd/yyyy");
          System.out.println("In getSubmittedDate()...");
          String date = sdf.format(obj);
          System.out.println("Formatted date is ::"+date);
          return date;
but at runtime it gives me the classcast exception saying that
class DateDecorator could not be loaded .
Kindly guide me through it .
Thanks

Decorator class that you wrote is "DateDecorator" and the decorator class that you used in the tag is "LongDateWrapper".

How to retreive soap xml data from clob column in a table

</v6:Base>
</v6:AlertDeleteInqRq>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
And i want to retrieve the values of tag
<ChannelID> and <v6:VID>
can somebody help, i have tried with extractvalue but not able to get the values

I have used the below two queries but not able to get the expected results. Both queries result into no values.
select xmltype(MED_REQ_PAYLOAD).extract('//ClientDetails/Org','xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" || xmlns="http://www.abc.com/gcgi/shared/system/header"').getStringValue() from ESB_OUTPUT_TEMP where SOAPACTION = '/SvcImpl/bank/alerts/v6_0_0_0/SOAPEndpoint/AlertsService.serviceagent/OpEndpointHTTP/AlertDeleteInq'
select EXTRACTVALUE(xmltype(MED_REQ_PAYLOAD),'/RqHeader/) from ESB_OUTPUT_TEMP where SOAPACTION = '/SvcImpl/bank/SOAPEndpoint/AlertsService.serviceagent/OpEndpointHTTP/AlertDeleteInq'
Well, for starters, both queries are syntactically wrong :
- non terminated string
- incorrect namespace mapping declaration
- unknown XMLType method "getStringValue()"
Secondly, all those functions are deprecated now.
Here's an up-to-date example using XMLTable. It will retrieve the two tag values you mentioned :
SQL> select x.*
2 from esb_output_temp t
3     , xmltable(
4         xmlnamespaces(
5           'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/' as "soap"
6         , 'http://www.abc.com/gcgi/shared/system/header' as "head"
7         , 'http://www.abc.com/gcgi/services/v6_0_0_0' as "v6"
8         )
9       , '/soap:Envelope'
10         passing xmlparse(document t.med_req_payload)
11         columns ChannelID varchar2(10) path 'soap:Header/head:RqHeader/head:ClientDetails/head:ChannelID'
12               , VID        varchar2(30) path 'soap:Body/v6:AlertDeleteInqRq/v6:Base/v6:VID'
13       ) x
14 ;
CHANNELID VID
HBK        20071209013112
You may also want to store XML in XMLType columns for both performance and storage optimizations.

Inserting XML data into xmltype column

Oracle version: 10.1.0.5
OpenVms Alpha V8.3
1) Tried this and get the error shown below. Removed charset and placed a zero. Same error.
INSERT INTO xml_demo (xml_data) -- column of xmltype
VALUES
xmltype
bfilename('XML_DIR', 'MOL.XML'),
nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8')

ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 637
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 283
ORA-06512: at line 1
2) This PL/SQL block works. However maximum raw size around 32K. The file can be around 100K. May be I can load it into a table of raw and somehow concatnate it to insert. Not sure whether this is possible but I am sure there must me a simple way of doing this.
Subset of the xml file is pasted below.
set serveroutput on size 1000000
DECLARE
file1 bfile;
v_xml XMLType;
len1 number(6);
v_rec1 raw(32000);
BEGIN
file1 := bfilename('XML_DIR','MOL.XML');

len1 := DBMS_LOB.getLength(file1);
v_rec1 := dbms_lob.substr(file1,len1,1);
v_xml := xmltype(UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2(v_rec1));
INSERT INTO xml_demo (xml_data) VALUES (v_xml);
COMMIT;
DBMS_LOB.fileclose(file1);
exception
when others then
dbms_output.put_LINE (sqlerrm);

Does that tell what I am doing wrong?

Extracting XML Data to a flat file

I have an application which is puting an XML string into a field in the database... now my problem is that I have to extract that information and put it in either 1. a flat file, or 2. a seperate table containing a column for each XML attribute... Does anyone know of the best way to approach either solution?
cheers.

And your Oracle version is?
There are many different ways to put something into a file. How about UTL_FILE?http://www.psoug.org/reference/utl_file.html
How to get it out of the table in the first place?
I usually try a SELECT statement. They seem to work.
PS: Databases don't have fields ... table's don't either. Check your verbiage.
Try looking of the word "FIELD" in the Oracle docs. Then try "COLUMN."

Using XPath with SQL to extract XML data

Given data such as this one:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ExtendedData>
   <Parameter name="CALLHOLD"><BooleanValue>true</BooleanValue></Parameter>
<Parameter xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" name="BARRING_PASSWORD" xsi:nil="true"/>
<Parameter name="ALLCF"><BooleanValue>true</BooleanValue></Parameter>
<Parameter name="RealProv"><BooleanValue>false</BooleanValue></Parameter>
</ExtendedData>I normally use extractValue function as shown below for example to extract the value for the last parameter in the data above, e.g:
select extractValue(extended_data,'/ExtendedData/Parameter[@name="RealProv"]/BooleanValue') "my_column_alias" from tableAny ideas on how I may return the value of the parameter xsi:nil from this node:
<Parameter xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" name="BARRING_PASSWORD" xsi:nil="true"/>I'd like to extract the true in xsi:nil="true"...
Thanks,

Extractvalue() has a third parameter we can use to declare namespace mappings :
SQL> with sample_data as (
2    select xmltype('<?xml version="1.0"?>
3 <ExtendedData>
4    <Parameter name="CALLHOLD"><BooleanValue>true</BooleanValue></Parameter>
5    <Parameter xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" name="BARRING_PASSWORD" xsi:nil="true"/>

If you're on 11.2.0.2 and up, extractvalue() is deprecated.
One should use XMLCast/XMLQuery instead :

7    <Parameter name="RealProv"><BooleanValue>false</BooleanValue></Parameter>
8 </ExtendedData>') doc

10 )
11 select xmlcast(
12           xmlquery('/ExtendedData/Parameter[@name="BARRING_PASSWORD"]/@xsi:nil'
13            passing doc
14            returning content
15           ) as varchar2(5)
16         )

XMLCAST(XMLQUERY('/EXTENDEDDAT

Note : the xsi prefix is predefined when using Oracle XQuery, so in this case we don't have to declare it explicitly.

XML Schema based XMLType column leaves file open on error

Hello,
I have the following situation on both oracle 10.1.0.2.0 and 10.1.0.4.0:
insert into xml_products (xmlfile) values(bfilename(file_loc, char_id));
"xmlfile" is a xmltype column based on a registered xml schema.
When the file fails xml schema validation, the file remains open and I cannot move it until i close the session.
Is this a bug or an "intentional feature"?
Any workarounds?
Thanks,
Flavio

All right Mark,
thanks for your reply.
Meanwhile I fixed the problem and posted my workaround here:

Update text fields with xml data based on DDL selection of an ID number

Hi guys,
this one should be straight forward, but I cant seem to find a straight forward answer. In a nutshell:
XML file contains ID, Name, Location (so far 3 records in sample xml file)
Form contains a Dynamic Drop down list to allow selection of ID and text fields to display the associated name and location of that ID. The binding of the Drop down works fine, however I need the other fields to update to the associated name and location when different ID's are selected. I assume I'll need some sort of exit event on the drop down list to update the other fields with the Name and location of the ID selected, but I dont know enough to have a stab at it.
please, please, please help, Im starting to pull my hair out.
James.

Hi James,
This would depend on the structure of your XML but assuming you have something like;
<Data>
            <Item>
                        <Id>1</Id>
                        <Name>Name1</Name>
                        <Location>Location1</Location>
            </Item>
            <Item>
                        <Id>2</Id>
                        <Name>Name2</Name>
                        <Location>Location2</Location>
            </Item>
            <Item>
                        <Id>3</Id>
                        <Name>Name3</Name>
                        <Location>Location3</Location>
            </Item>
</Data>
Then in the change event of your dropdown (your could use the exit event but then value might not have changed so would be performing unnecessary processing) add the following code.
var itemGroup = $data.Data.resolveNode("Item.(Id.value === '"+xfa.event.change+"')");
Name.rawValue = itemGroup.Name.value;
Location.rawValue = itemGroup.Location.value;
The xfa.event.change will be the value selected, the resolveNode will return the Item with the matching Id, and then it is just a matter of assigning it to your form fields.
Hope this gets you started.
Regards
Bruce

How to use XML data stored in table column in XML Data Definition

Hi,
We are using BIP 5.6.3 (Oracle EBS R12).
We have a table which stores XML data in a column. Is there a way we can use this XML data through a SQL query in XML Data Definition of BI Publisher report instead or writing whole SQL query to fetch same data from Oracle EBS?
Can some please provide a sample SQL query that we should use in Data Definition?
Thanks!

Mark,
Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for.
After doing @Name in both places (SELECT and WHERE clause) it worked.
Now I have one more question.
There are multiple DIMENSION tags in my xml, and I want to see the NAME attribute values for all of those DIMENSIONs. The following query returns
ORA-19025: EXTRACTVALUE returns value of only one node.
Cause: Given XPath points to more than one node.
Action: Rewrite the query so that exactly one node is returned.
SELECT
extractValue(value(x), '/AW/@Name') as "AW",
extractValue(value(x), '/AW/Dimension/@Name') as "DIMENSIONS"
from
OLAP_AW_PRC,
table(xmlsequence(extract (xmltype(AW_XML_TMPL_VAL), '/AWXML/AWXML.content/Create/ActiveObject/AW'))) x
where
extractValue(value(x) , '/AW/@Name') = 'OMCR4'
