Insert XML file into Relational database model without using XMLTYPE tables
Dear all,
How can I store a known complex XML file into an existing relational database WITHOUT using xmltypes in the database ?
I read the article on DBMS_XMLSTORE. DBMS_XMLSTORE indeed partially bridges the gap between XML and RDBMS to a certain extent, namely for simply structured XML (canonical structure) and simple tables.
However, when the XML structure will become arbitrary and rapidly evolving, surely there must be a way to map XML to a relational model more flexibly.
We work in a java/Oracle10 environment that receives very large XML documents from an independent data management source. These files comply with an XML schema. That is all we know. Still, all these data must be inserted/updated daily in an existing relational model. Quite an assignment isn't it ?
The database does and will not contain XMLTYPES, only plain RDBMS tables.
Are you aware of a framework/product or tool to do what DBMS_XMLSTORE does but with any format of XML file ? If not, I am doomed.
Constraints : Input via XML files defined by third party
Storage : relational database model with hundreds of tables and thousands of existing queries that can not be touched. The model must not be altered.
Target : get this XML into the database on a daily basis via an automated process.
Cheers.

Luc,
your Doomed !
If you would try something like DBMS_XMLSTORE, you probably would be into serious performance problems in your case, very fast, and it would be very difficult to manage.
If you would use a little bit of XMLType stuff, you would be able to shred the data into the relational model very fast and controlable. Take it from me, I am one of those old geezers like Mr. Tom Kyte way beyond 40 years (still joking). No seriously. I started out as a classical PL/SQL, Forms Guy that switched after two years to become a "DBA 1.0" and Mr Codd and Mr Date were for years my biggest hero's. I have the utmost respect for Mr. Tom Kyte for all his efforts for bringing the concepts manual into the development world. Just to name some off the names that influenced me. But you will have to work with UNSTRUCTURED data (as Mr Date would call it). 80% of the data out there exists off it. Stuff like XMLTABLE and XML VIEWs bridge the gap between that unstructured world and the relational world. It is very doable to drag and drop an XML file into the XMLDB database into a XMLtype table and or for instance via FTP. From that point on it is in the database. From there you could move into relational tables via XMLTABLE methods or XML Views.
You could see the described method as a filtering option so XML can be transformed into relational data. If you don't want any XML in your current database, then create an small Oracle database with XML DB installed (if doable 11.1.0.7 regarding the best performance --> all the new fast optimizer stuff etc). Use that database as a staging area that does all the XML shredding for you into relational components and ship the end result via database links and or materialized views or other probably known methodes into your relational database that isn't allowed to have XMLType.
This way you would keep your realtional Oracle database clean and have the Oracle XML DB staging database do all the filtering and shredding into relational components.
Throwing the XML DB option out off the window beforehand would be like replacing your Mercedes with a bicycle. With both you will be able to travel the distance from Paris to Rome, but it will take you a hell of lot longer.

Edited by: user6693852 on Jan 13, 2009 7:02 AMIn case you decide to follow my advice, here's a simple example showing how to do this.. (Note the XMLTable syntax is the preferred approach in 10gr2 and later..

Performance problems loading an XML file into oracle database
Hello ODI Guru's,
I am trying to load and XML file into the database after doing simple business validations. But the interface takes hours to complete.
1. The XML files are large in size >200 Mb. We have an XSD file for the schema definition instead of a DTD.
2. We used the external database feature for loading these files in database.
The following configuration was used in the XML Data Server:
jdbc:snps:xml?f=D:\CustomerMasterData1\CustomerMasterInitialLoad1.xml&d=D:\CustomerMasterData1\CustomerMasterInitialLoad1.xsd&re=initialLoad&s=CM&db_props=oracle&ro=true
3. Now we reverse engineer the XML files and created models using ODI Designer
4. Similar thing was done for the target i.e. an Oracle database table as well.
5. Next we created a simple interface with one-to-one mapping from the XSD schema to the Oracle database table and executed the interface. This execution takes more than one hour to complete.
6. We are running ODI client on Windows XP Professional SP2.
7. The Oracle database server(Oracle 10g 10.2.0.3) for the target schema as well as the ODI master and work repositories are on the same machine.
8. I tried changing the following properties but it is not making much visible difference:
use_prepared_statements=Y
use_batch_update=Y
batch_update_size=510
commit_periodically=Y
num_inserts_before_commit=30000
I have another problem that when I set batch_update_size to value greater that 510 I get the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: class org.xml.sax.SAXException
class java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException said -32413
at com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.xml.v.a(v.java)
The main concern is why should the interface taking so long to execute.
Please send suggestions to resolve the problem.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
NikunjApproximately how many rows are you trying to insert?
One of the techniques which I found improved performance for this scenario was to extract from the xml to a flat file, then to use SQL*LOADER or external tables to load the data into Oracle. -
A query while importing an XML file into a Database Table
Hi,
I am Creating an ODI Project to import an XML file into a Database Table.With the help of the following link
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/fmw/odi/odi_11g/odi_project_xml-to-table/odi_project_xml-to-table.htm
I am facing a problem while creating Physical Schema for the XML Source Model.
For the
Schema(Schema)
and
Schema(Work Schema) field they have selected GEO_D.
What is GEO_D here??
or
What I have to select here?
1) schema of the xml file (NB:-I havn't created any .xsd or .dtd file for my .xml file)
or
2)my target servers schema

Load XML file into oracle database
Hi
i have a xml file and the XSD(Schema definition file for XML). i need to load the xml file into the database.
Can you please tell me the best approach for this ?There are plenty of examples of this on the XML DB Forum.
Here is a link to the FAQ for that forum...

Insert Insert XML file into multiple records in Oracle Database
I would like to find out if it is possible to insert a single XML file into multiple records or tuples in a Oracle database table. I have a single XML file which is at multiple levels. The meta data for the levels are common and each level can have meta data of their own in addition. I do not have any meta data field which will uniquely determine whether the data belongs to Root level, Intermediate level or at the document level. Is there any way I can determine which level the meta data belongs to and thereby make a corresponding entry into the database table tuple? For example I could have an attribute called level which is going to be present only in the database table and not in the XML file. If level=1 then it corresponds to "Root" meta data, if level=2 then it corresponds to "Intermediate" level and if level=3 then it corresponds to meta data at document level. I need a way to calculate the value for level from the XML file and thereby insert the meta data element into a tuple in a single table in Oracle.
Hi,
extract your xml and then you can use insert all clause.
here's very small example on 10.2.0.1.0
SQL> create table table1(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> create table table2(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> insert all
2 into table1 values(id,val)
3 into table2 values(id2,val2)
4 select extractValue(x.col,'/a/id1') id
5 ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value') val
6 ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value2') val2
7 ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/id2') id2
8 from (select xmltype('<a><id1>1</id1><value>a</value><id2>2</id2><value2>b</value2></a>') col from dual) x;
2 rows created.
SQL> select * from table1;
ID VAL
1 a
SQL> select * from table2;
ID VAL

Inserting XML file into a Table
Hello,
Can someone provide me with a sample code to load xml files into a table. Thanks a lot.
RajeeshKeeping my fingers crossed that this quote from "Building XML Oracle Applications" by Steve Muench (O'Reilly & Associates, 2000, ISBN 1-56592-691-9) falls into the "fair use" category, and that you want it in PL/SQL, here is a procedure:
PROCEDURE insertXMLFile
(dir VARCHAR2, file VARCHAR2, name VARCHAR2 := NULL) IS
theBFile BFILE;
theCLob CLOB;
theDocName VARCHAR2(200) := NVL(name,file);
BEGIN
-- (1) Insert a new row into xml_documents with an empty CLOB, and
-- (2) Retrieve the empty CLOB into a variable with RETURNING.INTO
INSERT INTO stylesheets(docname,sheet) VALUES(theDocName,empty_clob( ))
RETURNING sheet INTO theCLob;
-- (3) Get a BFile handle to the external file
theBFile := BFileName(dir,file);
-- (4) Open the file
dbms_lob.fileOpen(theBFile);
-- (5) Copy the contents of the BFile into the empty CLOB
dbms_lob.loadFromFile(dest_lob => theCLob, src_lob => theBFile, amount => dbms_lob.getLength(theBFile));
-- (6) Close the file and commit
dbms_lob.fileClose(theBFile);
COMMIT;

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 import multiple XML files into one inDesign document without copy/paste ?
I use InDesign CS6, and I have several XML files with the same structure. Only the data are different.
I created an Indesign layout with some tagged placeholder frames on merge mode, for automated layout.
Today for each XML file I have to create a new InDesign document to import the XML. Everything works fine. Then in order to have all Indesign layouts one after the other into a single Indesign layout, I have to use the copy/paste function.
I mean for example, copy the contents of all documents to the first one. Or add pages of other documents to the first one, then delete spaces between each page.
So my question is the following:
How to repeat this process without copy/paste function, knowing that the
number of XML files could be unknown.
Thank you very much for your answer.Yes, effectively I would like to catalogue the files into one collection so i can save as one PDF and Print as one.:)
I know I could save each AI as a pdf them then merge the pdf's together in acrobat, but I have nearly 100 files so would feel more comfortable seeing them all together before print / saving.
My concern is that if I insert them in Ai, will the file resolution reduce? and will the ai still be editable and would it update the indesign file?
Thanks for the quick reply -
How to get ALL validate-errors while insert xml-file into xml_schema_table
How to get all validate-errors while using insert into xml_schema when having a xml-instance with more then one error inside ?
Hi,
I can validate a xml-file by using isSchemaValid() - function to get the validate-status 0 or 1 .
To get a error-output about the reason I do validate
the xml-file against xdb-schema, by insert it into schema_table.
When more than one validate-errors inside the xml-file,
the exception shows me the first error only.
How to get all errors at one time ?
regards
Norbert
... for example like this matter:
declare
xmldoc CLOB;
vStatus varchar
begin
-- ... create xmldoc by using DBMS_XMLGEN ...
-- validate by using insert ( I do not need insert ;-) )
begin
-- there is the xml_schema in xdb with defaultTable XML_SCHEMA_DEFAULT_TABLE
insert into XML_SCHEMA_DEFAULT_TABLE values (xmltype(xmldoc) ) ;
vStatus := 'XML-Instance is valid ' ;
exception
when others then
-- it's only the first error while parsing the xml-file :
vStatus := 'Instance is NOT valid: '||sqlerrm ;
dbms_output.put_line( vStatus );
end ;
end ;If I am not mistaken, the you probably could google this one while using "Steven Feuerstein Validation" or such. I know I have seen a very decent validation / error handling from Steven about this.

How to load a XML file into the database
Hi,
I've always only loaded data into the database by using SQL-Loader and the data format was Excel or ASCII
Now I have to load a XML.
How can I do?
The company where I work has Oracle vers. 8i (don't laugh, please)
Thanks in advance!Hi,
Tough job especially if the XML data is complex. The have been some similar question in the forum:
Using SQL Loader to load an XML File -- use 1 field's data for many records
SQL Loader to upload XML file
Hope they help.

Insert large XML files into 11g
Can anyone post an example of inserting XML files into a XMLType table? I can use the following to insert files into a CLOB table without problems.
$lob = oci_new_descriptor($conn, OCI_D_LOB);
$sql = "insert into D (DATASET_ID, XML_DATA)
values(
dataset_id_seq.NEXTVAL,
EMPTY_CLOB( )
) RETURNING XML_DATA into :the_blob";
$stmt = oci_parse($conn, $sql);
oci_bind_by_name($stmt, ':the_blob', $lob, -1, OCI_B_CLOB);
oci_execute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);
if ($lob->savefile($f)){
oci_commit($conn);
echo "Blob successfully uploaded\n";
}else{
echo "Couldn't upload Blob\n";
oci_free_descriptor($lob);
oci_free_statement($stmt);A small example to insert xml file into oracle xml DB
//$Xml contains the xml file you want to insert into the database.
$insertXML = <<<EOF
DECLARE xml CLOB := $Xml; begin INSERT INTO purchaseorder_as_column VALUES (1,XMLType(xml)); end;

$stid = oci_parse($c, $insertXML);
oci_execute($stid);
//retrieve the xml data from the that table
$sql = "select XMLTYPE.GetClobVal(xml_document) from purchaseorder_as_column where id=1";
$stid = oci_parse($c, $sql);
oci_execute($stid);
$res = oci_fetch_row($stid);
$xmldoc = $res[0]->load();
//Then use simple xml extensions or others as you like to deal with the XML document
$sxe = simplexml_load_string($xmldoc);
//other operations with tthe xml data
