Loading XML files into Database table

Loading XML files into Database table
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/packages

Check 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.

  • Loading XML file into DB Table

    Hi
    I m quite new to the loading XML file into database table.
    It will be great if anyone could guide me to through.
    Now,
    i have an XML file which has to be loaded into the DB table.
    what are the steps involved in doing this. How do i go from here ??
    your help is greatly appriciated ???
    Thank you so much!!

    OK - Although you really should read the XMLDB FAQ on this forum, here is some sample code of ONE of the ways of doing it

  • Load XML File into temporary tables using sql loader

    Hi All,
    I have an XML file as below. I need to insert the contents into a temporary staging table using sql loader. Please advice how I need to do that.
    For example Portfolios should go into a seperate table, and all the tags inside it should be populated in the columns of the table.

    Two options that come to mind. Others exist.
    #1 - {thread:id=474031}, which is basically storing the XML in an Object Relational structure for parsing
    #2 - Dump the XML into either an XMLType based table or column and use SQL (with XMLTable) to create a view that parses the data. This would be the same as the view shown in the above post.
    Don't use sql*loader to parse the XML. I was trying to find a post from mdrake about that but couldn't. In short, sql*loader was not build as an XML parser so don't try to use it that way.

    This all works just fine, however, it's not quite what I need. For starters, the multiple tag data is concatenated and when I try to specifically query it out using a where clause I get ORA 22950. So, not sure how to deal with that.
    Is it possible to use sqlldr to get the 200MB XML file loaded into a table like that above?
    Now, given multiple "feature" and "category" data per "MainName", I need to use the SQL to dump the XML data into a set of tables built to model the structure of the XML...
    roughly..
    Main_Table (
    ID1 Varchar2(10)
    ID2 varchar2(10)
    ID3 varchar2(10)
    desc varchar2(100)
    Features_Table (
    ID1 varchar2(10)
    feature varchar2(100)
    Category_Table (
    ID1 varchar2(10)
    name varchar2(100)
    attribute varchar2(100)
    What are the groups recommendations here? Should I continue down this route or is there a better way?

    When I suggested the option to parse the XML in PL/SQL I was referring to pulling the data into PL/SQL and then performing all parsing activity against the PL/SQL copy and you don't need to make SQL calls.
    Here is a quick sample for parsing out all the Category/name elements from the XML once it is loaded into PL/SQL
    DECLARE
      l_index     PLS_INTEGER;
      l_category  XMLTYPE;
      l_db_row    XMLTYPE := XMLTYPE('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <MainTitle Version="1.0" Date="2009-01-11">

    Hint: If you are trying to use .extract to go after an optional node, you need to verify the node exists via existsNode first. If you don't you can get an "ORA-30625: method dispatch on NULL SELF argument is disallowed" error when trying to extract a non-existent node.

    Not a perfectly framed question. How do you want to load the XML file? Hoping you want to parse the xml file and load it into a table you can do this.
    This is the xml file
    karthick% cat emp_details.xml
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <ROWSET>
    <ROW>
      <EMPNO>7782</EMPNO>
      <ENAME>CLARK</ENAME>
      <JOB>MANAGER</JOB>
      <MGR>7839</MGR>
      <HIREDATE>09-JUN-1981</HIREDATE>
      <SAL>2450</SAL>
      <COM>0</COM>
      <DEPTNO>10</DEPTNO>
    </ROW>
    <ROW>

      <COM>0</COM>
      <DEPTNO>10</DEPTNO>
    </ROW>
    </ROWSET>
    You can write a query like this.

      2    from xmltable
      3         (
      4            '/ROWSET/ROW'  passing xmltype

  • How to load a XML file into a table

    Hi,
    I've been working on Oracle for many years but for the first time I was asked to load a XML file into a table.
    As an example, I've found this on the web, but it doesn't work
    Can someone tell me why? I hoped this example could help me.
    the file acct.xml is this:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
    <HEADER>
    <STATUS_CODE>100</STATUS_CODE>
    <STATUS_REMARKS>check</STATUS_REMARKS>
    </HEADER>
    <DETAILS>
    <DETAIL>
    <SEGMENT_NUMBER>2</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
    <REMARKS>rp polytechnic</REMARKS>
    </DETAIL>
    <DETAIL>
    <SEGMENT_NUMBER>3</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
    <REMARKS>rp polytechnic administration</REMARKS>
    </DETAIL>
    <DETAIL>
    <SEGMENT_NUMBER>4</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
    <REMARKS>rp polytechnic finance</REMARKS>
    </DETAIL>
    <DETAIL>
    <SEGMENT_NUMBER>5</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
    <REMARKS>rp polytechnic logistics</REMARKS>
    </DETAIL>
    </DETAILS>
    <HEADER>
    <STATUS_CODE>500</STATUS_CODE>
    <STATUS_REMARKS>process exception</STATUS_REMARKS>
    </HEADER>
    <DETAILS>
    <DETAIL>
    <SEGMENT_NUMBER>20</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
    <REMARKS> base polytechnic</REMARKS>
    </DETAIL>
    <DETAIL>
    <SEGMENT_NUMBER>30</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
    </DETAIL>
    <DETAIL>
    <SEGMENT_NUMBER>40</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
    <REMARKS> base polytechnic finance</REMARKS>
    </DETAIL>
    <DETAIL>
    <SEGMENT_NUMBER>50</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
    <REMARKS> base polytechnic logistics</REMARKS>
    </DETAIL>
    </DETAILS>
    </ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
    For the two tags HEADER and DETAILS I have the table:
    create table xxrp_acct_details(
    status_code number,
    status_remarks varchar2(100),
    segment_number number,
    remarks varchar2(100)
    before I've created a
    create directory test_dir as 'c:\esterno'; -- where I have my acct.xml
    and after, can you give me a script for loading data by using XMLTABLE?
    I've tried this but it doesn't work:
    DECLARE
    acct_doc xmltype := xmltype( bfilename('TEST_DIR','acct.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8') );
    BEGIN
    insert into xxrp_acct_details (status_code, status_remarks, segment_number, remarks)
    select x1.status_code,
            x1.status_remarks,
            x2.segment_number,
            x2.remarks
    from xmltable(
      '/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
      passing acct_doc
      columns header_no      for ordinality,
              status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
              status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
    ) x1,
    xmltable(
      '$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS[$hn]/DETAIL'
      passing acct_doc as "d",
              x1.header_no as "hn"
      columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
              remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS'
    ) x2
    END;
    This should allow me to get something like this:
    select * from xxrp_acct_details;
    Statuscode status remarks segement remarks
    100 check 2 rp polytechnic
    100 check 3 rp polytechnic administration
    100 check 4 rp polytechnic finance
    100 check 5 rp polytechnic logistics
    500 process exception 20 base polytechnic
    500 process exception 30
    500 process exception 40 base polytechnic finance
    500 process exception 50 base polytechnic logistics
    but I get:

    06550. 00000 -  "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
    *Cause:    Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
    and if I try to change the script without using the column HEADER_NO to keep track of the header rank inside the document:
    DECLARE
    acct_doc xmltype := xmltype( bfilename('TEST_DIR','acct.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8') );
    BEGIN
    insert into xxrp_acct_details (status_code, status_remarks, segment_number, remarks)
    select x1.status_code,
            x1.status_remarks,
            x2.segment_number,

      columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',

    END;

    My oracle version is 10gR2 Express Edition
    I do need a script for loading xml files into a table as soon as possible, Give me please a simple example for understanding and that works on 10gR2 Express Edition
    Thanks in advance!

    The reason your first SQL statement
    select x1.status_code,
            x1.status_remarks,
            x2.segment_number,
            x2.remarks
    from xmltable(
      '/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
      passing acct_doc
      columns header_no      for ordinality,
              status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
              status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
    ) x1,
    xmltable(
      '$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS[$hn]/DETAIL'
      passing acct_doc as "d",
              x1.header_no as "hn"
      columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
              remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS'
    ) x2
    returns the error you noticed
    PL/SQL: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got NUMBER
    is because Oracle is expecting XML to be passed in.  At the moment I forget if it requires a certain format or not, but it is simply expecting the value to be wrapped in simple XML.
    Your query actually runs as is on 11.1 as Oracle changed how that functionality worked when 11.1 was released.  Your query runs slowly, but it does run.
    As you are dealing with groups, is there any way the input XML can be modified to be like
    <ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
    <ACCOUNT_GROUP>
    <HEADER>....</HEADER>
    <DETAILS>....</DETAILS>
    </ACCOUNT_GROUP>
      <ACCOUNT_GROUP>
      <HEADER>....</HEADER>
      <DETAILS>....</DETAILS>
      </ACCOUNT_GROUP>
    </ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
    so that it is easier to associate a HEADER/DETAILS combination?  If so, it would make parsing the XML much easier.
    Assuming the answer is no, here is one hack to accomplish your goal
    select x1.status_code,
            x1.status_remarks,
            x3.segment_number,
            x3.remarks
    from xmltable(
      '/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
      passing acct_doc
      columns header_no      for ordinality,
              status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
              status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
    ) x1,
    xmltable(
      '$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS'
      passing acct_doc as "d",
      columns detail_no      for ordinality,
              detail_xml     xmltype       path 'DETAIL'
    ) x2,
    xmltable(
      'DETAIL'
      passing x2.detail_xml
      columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
              remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS') x3
    WHERE x1.header_no = x2.detail_no;
    This follows the approach you started with.  Table x1 creates a row for each HEADER node and table x2 creates a row for each DETAILS node.  It assumes there is always a one and only one association between the two.  I use table x3, which is joined to x2, to parse the many DETAIL nodes.  The WHERE clause then joins each header row to the corresponding details row and produces the eight rows you are seeking.
    There is another approach that I know of, and that would be using XQuery within the XMLTable.  It should require using only one XMLTable but I would have to spend some time coming up with that solution and I can't recall whether restrictions exist in 10gR2 Express Edition compared to what can run in 10.2 Enterprise Edition for XQuery.

  • 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.

    Hi 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 ).

  • 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.

    Keeping 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

    theBFile BFILE;
    theCLob CLOB;
    theDocName VARCHAR2(200) := NVL(name,file);

    -- (2) Retrieve the empty CLOB into a variable with RETURNING.INTO

  • Loading XML file into non-XML table(s)

    HI Gentlemen,
    I successfully registered my schema and generated an xml-based table and a TYPE. However, I do not have the table that would correspond to this TYPE. How do I get to it? How can I use FTP or HTTP protocol to load actual data from the corresponding .xml file into this table?
    Thanks in advance, kind regards from
    Miklos HERBOLY

    You need to include the XML schema location information in the XML documents to point to the registered XML schema.
    For example,
    If you register an XML schema to XML DB with "http://www.example.com/po.xsd"
    In the XML document, the xml schema location can be:
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.example.com/po.xsd http://www.example.com/po.xsd">
    For more information, you can check the example in the following page:

  • Loading XML files into an 8.0.6 database...

    Hi,
    I've got an Oracle 8.0.6 instance (Sun E250 Solaris 5.7) with multiple import data feeds. I am currently using SQL*Loader to load this data which are flat text delimited files. My data feeds will soon be supplying XML files instead of these flat files which is great, unfortunately, I will not be able to upgrade in 8.1.7 in time so that I can use the XML parser.
    Is there anyway I can use SQL*Loader or some other tool to load XML files into my 8.0.6 database? If there is a way, could someone please send the information I would need to help perform this task?
    Thanks for all your help...

    Check 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.

  • Loading an XML file into the table without creating a directory .

    Hi,
    I wanted to load an XML file into a table column . But I should not create a directory in the server and placing the XML file there and giving the path in the insert query. Can anybody help me here?
    Thanks in advance.

    You could write a java stored procedure that retrieves the file into a clob. Wrap that in a function call and use it in your insert statement.
    This solution require read privileges granted by sys and is therefore only feasible if the top-level directory/directories are known or you get read-access to everything.

    Hi,
    You can insert XML data from XML file to Oracle database by this script :
    Hi,
    For reading and inserting the data from XML file to Oracle Database :
    1. CREATE A BLANK TABLE with same structure as XML file :
    select * from xml_test
    2. SELECT QUERY DIRECTLY ON XML FILE :
    SELECT XMLTYPE(bfilename('TEST_DIR', 'data_file.xml'), nls_charset_id('UTF8')) xml_data FROM dual
    3. CREATE ORACLE DIRECTORY AND PLACE XML FILE IN THIS DIRECTORY LOCATION:
    --CREATE DIRECTORY TEST_DIR as '/oracle/test';
    --grant all on directory TEST_DIR to public;
    4. INSERT THE XML DATA IN ORACLE TABLE:
    INSERT INTO xml_test(column1,coumn2)
    WITH t AS (SELECT XMLTYPE(bfilename('TEST_DIR', 'attachment.xml'), nls_charset_id('UTF8')) xml_col FROM dual)
    SELECT
    extractValue(value(x),'/ROW/COLUMN1') column1
    ,extractValue(value(x),'ROW/COLUMN2') column2
    FROM t,TABLE(XMLSequence(extract(t.xml_col,'/ROWSET/ROW'))) x;
    I have assumed a table with 2 columns.
