How to load XML files into oracle
I am new to XML.I have a few XML files.I want to load them into oracle.I have oracle client on my win2000 machine version 8.1.6.3.
I cannot find Loadjava.jar file in ORACLE_HOME\bin directory.
Where is the XSU-dsl and the XDK utility?Do i need to down load it?
This forum is dedicated to the XML Features of 9iR2, and to a lesser extent 9i. Questions related to XML and earlier versions of the database should be posted in Technologies -> General -> XML...
I will move this thread to the appropriate forum if required.

Loading XML File into Oracle 10G XE
I am trying to load an XML file into 10G XE from the Utilities interface, I have created a Table to load into but when I try to load I get the following cryptic error "XML Load Error". There is no other information, can someone give me some insight where to start to resolve this problem?
The error messages when importing fails provided by APEX 2.1 are not very useful as they do not provide any clue...
If possible, you can try to load XML file with SQL*Loader - probably you will get then more useful error messages. -

How to load XML files into ORACLE8i database?
SAP data is being extracted into XML format (via IDOC) files which are being transferred to an ORACLE8i box. There will be a large amount of data transferred on a daily basis which will include updates and inserts. From all the information that I have read on this subject there are 2 options available :
1. XML-SQL Utility - which converts XML into INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE SQL. There does not appear to be that much functionality available by this method for decodes, transformations on the input data.
2. SQL*Loader - There was a statement in 1 piece of documentation stating that SQL*Loader could be used for loading XML format data files. I cannot however find any further information on how this is achieved or how it works.
If anyone has any experience in loading XML format data files using either of the above methods (preferably SQL*Loader as it has more functionality) then could you please provide me with examples or guidance on this matter? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am not familiar with XML format data files. I am from an Oracle 7.3 background but do not have much experience with Oracle 8 onwards.
Disclaimer.
Any views expressed in the above paragraphs are my own and not that of Hewlett Packard Ltd.We are loading XML into our database using CLOB datatypes. We don't use the XSU for inserts as it is too slow. We parse the incoming XML document into a PL/SQL record type and then build a generic insert. This might not work well if you have many tags to parse into columns. We also store the entire XML CLOB into a column without parsing the individual tags into separate columns. We then use Intermedia Text for fast, index-based searching within the XML column.
Check out The Oracle XML Portal website for code examples on how to do this:

How to load PDF files into oracle database and display them in APEX
Hi All,
We have a requirement for loading the Loading PDF files (lots of PDf files) to the oracle database and then display the PDF files in the Oracel APEX report.
So that User can view the PDF files. Our current APEX verison is 3.2..
Please let me know how to implement it and where to find the sample application!
Thanks in advanced!
JaneThanks Tony for your quick response!
We need to load a lot of PDfs (history + current).
I have a questions about the SQL loader. I am trying to insert a pdf file into a table by following the oracle loading sample:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/text.920/a96518/aload.htm
Example Data File: loader2.dat
This file contains the data to be loaded into each row of the table, articles_formatted.
Each line contains a comma separated list of the fields to be loaded in articles_formatted. The last field of every line names the file to be loaded in to the text column:
Ben Kanobi, plaintext,Kawasaki news article,../sample_docs/kawasaki.txt,
But i don't know to where should I put my pdf file on the server.
for example:
,../sample_docs/kawasaki.txt,
Where is the file 'kawasaki.txt'??
I try my local path, it didn't work. like c:\temp.
then I loaded teh PDf file into our server(/findev20/olmtest/orafin/11.5.7/olmtestcomn/temp) , and In my data file. I put the path
1, pdf_emp1,../findev20/olmtest/orafin/11.5.7/olmtestcomn/temp
but I got the error: the system can not find the file specified.
Where should I put the PDf files on the server and how to specify the path in the data file?
Thanks!

Issue with Date Conversion when loading XML File into Oracle 10g Database
Hello all,
I have the interface shown in the screenshot below. In it, amongst other actions, I'm mapping an XML file element representing a date to an Oracle table column defined as DATE. The source and target columns are highlighted in the screenshot.
!http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/1565/odiscr275.jpg!
When I execute the interface, I get the following error message:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at java.sql.Date.valueOf(Date.java:103)
I'm assuming this refers to the date conversion!
I've already tried replacing SRC_TRADES.DEAL_DATE with TO_DATE( SRC_TRADES.DEAL_DATE, 'DD/MM/YYYY' ) in the Implementation tab. This function was not recognised when I executed the interface, so it didn't work! The date value in the XML file is in DD/MM/YYYY format.
I'm guessing that Oracle SQL Date functions don't work in the Implementation tab. Please could somebody let me know:
1. Which Date Conversion function I could use instead?
2. Where I can find a reference for the methods/functions I can use in the Implementation tab (if such a reference exists)?
Cheers.
JamesHi.
Try to change the execution area to staging area. After You change it, write in the mapping box just SRC_TRADERS.DEAL_DATE. When You use TO_DATE, the source field typu should be varchar2, not date (as it is in your source datastore) -

Hi folks.
We have an old Oracle database 7.3..
So we need to load XML files into its tables.
As we understand Oracle Loader doesn't help us.
Is the way to load that files?
Thanks in advance
AlexI know you realize 7.3 is old but this is sort of like trying trying to view a DVD when you only have a VCR. Simple answer would be buy a DVD player, i.e. upgrade to a more recent version of Oracle where you will get many features to handle XML.
How do you want the XML loaded, all as a single object? That could be a CLOB column if 7.3 had them, I am not sure. You would probably have to write PL/SQL and something with UTL_FILE (if 7.3 had that) to load it.
If you want to put it multiple columns based on its tags, you would be better off parsing it using PERL (or something) into a CSV and loading that in SQL*Loader.
I assume as this is using XML it is a reasonably recent design, combining that with an ancient version of the database is just going to lead to endless headaches. -

Loading XML files in Oracle via SQL*Loader
Hello,
I need to load the data in an XML file provided by a thrird party into my Oracle DB. This file is not formatted as per the requirements of XSU, so I need to find an alternative. In the online documentation for Oracle8i it is stated that one way to load XML files into Oacle is via SQL*Loader. On the SQL*Loader documentation this is not mentioned. Also as far as I know, SQL*Loader can be used with delimited fields or fixed length fields and thus I do not see how this can be done (but it would be very cool).
Can you give me any advice on this?
Thanks
Ciao
FerruccioNo, SQL*Loader cannot process DBF files directly
Tom Kyte provides a package to read in DBF files thorugh utl_file

Hi I have some XML files say 100 files in a virtual directory created using "Create or replace directory command" and those files need to be loaded into a table having a column of XMLTYPE. 1)How to load that using Oracle provided procedures/packagesCheck out the Oracle XDB Developer's Guide, Chapter 3. There is an example of using BFileName function to load the xml files from a directory object created using create or replace directory. It works really well.

Error while loading XML files into scott user
Hi All,
I'm new to xml files. I need to load xml files into database through OWB.
I have xml file in my local machine & am trying to load into table PO of Scott. Scott is registered as repository user.
Followed same steps as specified in userguide.
But, when executing the procedure ( in two ways one as just table name, and other as user.table name) it is showing the below error:
Procedure is:(1)--with username.tablename
begin

Note: Everything works fine if I create PO table in OWBSYS user and execute the procedurein OWBSYS user. OWBSYS.PO table will be loaded.
What privileges are missing, what shouldI do if I want to execute the procedure from scott user and load the table of scott.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Regards,
JoshnaHi Joshna,
Please follow below steps to load xml file to oracle database.
1.First connect to owb (Design Center) through your repository owner user (ex : REP_OWNER).
2. Import WB_XML_LOAD procedure . and exit to repository owner.
3. connect to owb design center through your repository user (ex : REP_USER)
Create New mapping and drag one Constant Operator and create one attribute, paste / edit following code
'<OWBXMLRuntime>'||
'<XMLSource>'||
'<file>E:\SOURCE\emp.xml</file>'||
'</XMLSource>'||
'<targets>'||
'<target truncateFirst = "FALSE" dateFormat="yyyy.MM.dd">rep_user.emp</target>'||
'</targets>'||
'</OWBXMLRuntime>'
4. Drag pre mapping operator and select WB_XML_LOAD procedure
5. Connect Constant Operator attribute to pre mapping operator.
6. Drag two dummy tables and connect source to target. (ex : drag t1 (table) tab two times and connect.
7. Validate and deploy the mapping.
8. grant necessary grant command to rep_owner user to rep_user user.
(Note : target truncateFirst = "FALSE" by default truncate the table. So you have to give grant privileges
To rep_user , select ,insert, delete privileges.
9. Execute the mapping , and check EMP table. (Note : before loading EMP table delete all records ).
