Most efficient way to load XML file data into tables

I have a complex XML file running into MBs. I want to load it's data into 7-8 tables.
Which way will be better:
1) Use SQL Loader to actually load directly into the 7-8 tables directly by modifying the control card.
Is this really possible and feasible? I am not even sure about it
2) Load data as XML Type in a table and register it. Then extract from there to load into various tables.
Please help. I have to find the most efficient way of doing it.
Regards,
Sudhir

Yes it is possible to use SQL*Loader to parse and load XML, but that is not what it was designed for and so is not recommended. You also don't need to register a schema, just to load/store/parse XML in the DB either.
So where does that leave you?
Some options
{thread:id=410714} (see page 2)
{thread:id=1090681}
{thread:id=1070213}
Those talk some about storage options and reading in XML from disk and parsing XML. They should also give you options to consider. Without knowing more about your requirements for the effort, it is difficult to give specific advice. Maybe your 7-8 tables don't exist and so using Object Relational Storage for the XML would be the best solution as you can query/update tables that Oracle creates based off the schema associated to the XML. Maybe an External Table definition works better for reading the XML into the system because this process will happen just once. Maybe using WebDAV makes more sense for loading XML to be parsed (I don't have much experience with this, just know it is possible from what I've read on the forums). Also, your version makes a difference as you have different options available depending upon the version of Oracle.
Hope all that helps as a starter.

OWB11gR2 - simple and easy way to load XML formatted data into db tables?

Hi,
we're currently trying to load table data stored in XML files into our datawarehouse using OWB 11gR2.
However, we're finding this is not quite as trivial as loading flat files...
Most postings on this forum points to the blog-entry title "Leveraging XDB" found here (http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/2007/09/leveraging_xdb.html).
This blog also references the zip-file owb_xml_etl_utils.zip, which seems to have disappeared from it's original location and can now be found on sourceforge.
Anyway, the solution described is for OWB 10g, and when trying to import experts from the zip-file etc. we end up not being able to run the "Create ETL from XSD" expert, as the 11gR2 client is different from the 10g and does not have the Experts menu et.al.
Also, this solution was published over 3 years ago, and it seems rather strange that importing XML-formatted data should still be so cumbersome in the newer warehouse builder releases.
The OWB 11gR2 documentation is very sparse (or rather - quite empty) on how to load XML data, all it has is a few lines on "XML Transformations", giving no clue as to how one goes about loading data.
Is this really the state of things? Or are we missing some vital information here?
We'd have thought that with 11g-releases, loading XML-data would be rather simple, quick and painless?
Is there somewhere besides the blog mentioned above where we can find simple and to the point guidelines for OWB 11gR2 on how to load XML-formatted data into Oracle tables?

Since the two date attributes are coming in the W3C's xs:date format, you can directly define the corresponding columns as DATE and use a DATE projection in XMLTable :

Most efficient way to consume log files

Hello everyone,
I've been absent from the forums for awhile but I'm back at it now...
I have a question about the most efficient way to consume log files. I read in Powershell in action, by Bruce Payette that using a switch statement with a regex worked pretty well, that being said I haven't tried it yet. Select-string is working pretty
well for me but I have about 10 different entry types that I need to search logs for every 5 minutes and I'm scanning about 15 GB of logs at every interval. Anyway, if anyone has information about how to do something like that as quickly as possible
I'd appreciate it.
1. piping log files that meet my criteria to select-string
- This seems to work well but I don't like searching the same files over and over again
2. running logs through get-content and then building a filter statement
- This is ok but it seems to use up a fair bit of memory
3. Some other approach that I haven't thought of yet.
Anyway, I know this is a relatively nebulous question, sorry about that. I'm hoping that someone on here knows a really good way to find strings in logs files quickly.
Hope that helps! Jason

You can sometimes squeeze out more speed at the expense of memory usage, but filters are pretty fast. I don't see a benefit to holding the whole file in memory, in this case.
As I mentioned earlier, though, C# code will usually blow PowerShell away in terms of execution time. Here's a rewrite of what I just did (just for the INI Section pattern, to keep the post size down):
$string = @'
#Comment Line
[Ini-Style Section Line]
Key = Value Line
192.168.0.1 localhost
Some line that doesn't match anything.
Set-Content -Path .\test.txt -Value $string
Add-Type -TypeDefinition @'
using System;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
using System.Collections;
using System.IO;
public interface ILineParser
object ParseLine(string line);
public class IniSection
public string Section;
public class IniSectionParser : ILineParser
public object ParseLine(string line)
object o = null;
Match match = Regex.Match(line, @"^\s*\[([^\]]+)\]\s*$");
if (match.Success)
o = new IniSection() { Section = match.Groups[1].Value };
return o;
public class LogParser
public static IEnumerable ParseFile(string fileName, ILineParser[] lineParsers)
using (StreamReader sr = File.OpenText(fileName))
string line;
while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
foreach (ILineParser parser in lineParsers)
object result = parser.ParseLine(line);
if (result != null)
yield return result;
$parsers = @(
New-Object IniSectionParser
$results = [LogParser]::ParseFile("$pwd\test.txt", $parsers)
$results
Instead of defining separate classes for each type of line and output object, you could probably do something more generic with delegates (similar to how I used ScriptBlock.Invoke() in the PowerShell example), but it might sacrifice some speed to do so.

Loading XML File to Physical table in BW

I am giving my old MacBook Air to my granddaughter. What is the most efficient way to erase all the data on it?

I am giving my old MacBook Air to my granddaughter. What is the most efficient way to erase the data?

You have two options.....
One is to do a clean reinstall of your OS - if you still have the USB installer that came with your Macbook Air...
The second option is to create a new user (your granddaugher's name).....Deauthorize your Macbook Air from your Itunes and Appstore.....
Restart your Macbook after you've created your granddaughter's user name, login under your granddaughter's username and delete your username.
Search your Macbook for your old files and delete them.....
Good luck...

What's the most efficient way to serve a file from a servlet?

I have a servlet that does various different things depending on the needs. Sometimes it dynamically generates content, and sometimes all it does is send a file out, with no alteration.
What is the most efficient way to just send a file?
One option:
OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
InputStream is = new FileInputStream(...)
(send all the bytes from is to os, the regular way using a buffer)Another option is to say:
RequestDispatcher rd = response.getRequestDispatcher(fileName);
rd.forward();Any other options? What's the prefered way of doing this?
I know the rule of "don't optimize too early" but this is a situation where we need to get the maximum amount of files served with the hardware we have, and it's going to be a lot of static files, so efficiency is important.
Thanks

Ok, that's what I thought. It would be nice if there were a "response.sendStream(InputStream input)" method in the ServletResponse class. Even nicer would be a sendFile or sendChannel or something. This is probably a common usage and it's a place where the container has many opportunities for optimization. For example, it could call the operating systems send_file kernel call so the entire transfer would be done directly from the disk controller to the ether card (on systems that support that).
For now I'll just do my own buffered copy.

Loading wave file data into array

Greetings
For starters, I'm still learning java, so forgive me if this is a trivial question. I've been using the documentation on the java sound api as a guide. What I am trying to do is to load a wav file data into a byte array and eventually I will need it to have it in an int array so I can pass the data into a demodulation algorithm to display as an image. This wave file is a recorded signal from a NOAA satellite. Here is my code thus far:
public boolean loadFile(File soundFile) {
          int totalFramesRead = 0;
          boolean result=false;
          File fileIn = new File(soundFile.getPath());
          try {
               AudioInputStream ais = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(soundFile);
               int bytesPerFrame = ais.getFormat().getFrameSize();
               // Set an arbitrary buffer size of frames.
               int numBytes = 1024*bytesPerFrame;
               byte[] audioByte= new byte[numBytes];
               try {
                    int numBytesRead = 0;
                    int numFramesRead = 0;
                    // Try to read numBytes bytes from the file.
                    while ((numBytesRead = ais.read(audioByte)) != -1) {
                         // Calculate the number of frames actually read.
                         numFramesRead = numBytesRead / bytesPerFrame;
                         totalFramesRead += numFramesRead;
                         return(result= true);
               } catch (Exception ex) {
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(desk, " Error Loading File" ,"Error",
                         JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
               ais.close();
               throw ex;}
          } catch (Exception ex) {
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(desk, " Error Loading File" ,"Error",
                         JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
          return result;

Loading XML file data

Hello
I am using Spry.Widget.AutoSuggest to sort the data from an
external XML file
In the XML there are some url-s pointing to pictures to be
loaded but the problem is that they all loads in the cache as the
page initializes.
Although they are not shown at the begining i can see them
caching ( firebug for mozilla)
Is there any way to load the appropriate pictures (data) just
after it matches the AutoSuggest search criteria.
the example files are :

thanx a lot

Please read the FAQ thread and posting guidelines... Also please see the XML DB basic demo.. And try forum search, this question (or variant's of it) have been asked and answered so many times that it's really not worth starting (another) new thread on this issue.

How to load xml file data

hi ,
I know how to load data from csv file...
Anyone can guide me for how to load data from xml file
i need step by step guidence
from
naman

hi naman shah,
you can used XML DOM in SAP in order to read data from xml file
first step to do that, you need to read the xml file using OPEN DATASET
after that you convert the content of the file to XML DOM class in SAP using function modul SDIXML_XML_TO_DOM
after that you can read / manipulate the data from xml.
for the XML DOM class documentation in SAP, please refer to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/bb/576637dca511d4990b00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm
hopes it helps

Load XML Document/Data into relational Table

Hi All,
I have a requirement to load data in an XML file into an oracle db and subsequently split the contents into columns in an oracle table. This has to be done on the command line from a unix box which connects to a remote oracle DB.
Can some one give me a step by step procedure to do this or point me in the right direction.
thank you

Hi,
There can be many different way we can achieve this. Mainly depending on size of XML, complexity of XML and your use of that data (e.g. you just want to insert XML into relational or you want to write something and the generate new xmls later on).
If you go to Oracle online documentation -> Oracle XML DB Developer's guide, first 3-4 chapters will give you what you need.
