Nested XML with XSU

I have data in an Oracle8i-database and will use Java to export
it to XML. I’m trying to use XML Developer’s Kit’s (XDK’s) XML
SQL Utility’s (XSU’s) OracleXMLQuery class. But I’ve problems to
get the nested XML-structure I need!
Oracle says there’s two good ways to do this:
“Source Customization
This category incompases customizations done by altering the
query or the database schema. Among the simplest and the most
powerful source customizations are:
* over the database schema, create an object-relational view
which maps to the desired XML document structure.
* in your query, use cursor subqueries, or cast-multiset
constructs to get nesting in the XML document which comes from a
flat schema.”
They then have an example how to create an object-relational
view. But this is done with an empty database, and I already
have tables with data so I don’t know how to do this.
I’ve tried with some simple subqueris like
SELECT name, id,
(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM order o WHERE c.id = o.id) AS
NumOfOrders
FROM cust c
But it adds just another colum.
Could somebody help me or direct me to some resource, please?
Thanks!

Generating nested XML with XSU

Hi,
I have been trying to generate a nested XML document with the
XSU Utility (Rdbms 9.0.1) by setting up an nested table (see below)
and the using the command line utiliy as:
c:\>java OracleXML getXML -user "scott/tiger" "SELECT * from dept_type_tab
The result is nested all right, but all texts seem to be in Hex representation:
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1">
<DEPT>
<DNAME>0x5245534541524348</DNAME>
<EMP>
<ENAME>0x534D495448</ENAME>
</EMP>
</DEPT>
</ROW>
Can anyone point out to me, where I went wrong? ;-(
Thanx for any input

Producing nested xml with querying attributes from a nested table

How can one produce nested xml querying columns from a nested table? Looking at the object documentation, I can readily unnest the tables. Using your examples in the book, unnesting is select po.pono, ..., l.* from purchaseorder_objtab po, table (po.lineitemlist_ntab) l where l.quantity = 2;
what if I don't want to unnest and don't want a cursor. I would like to produce nested xml.

Gail,
Although you can use XSU (XML-SQL Util) in 8.1.7, I would recommend that you upgrade to 9i for much better support (both in functionality and performance) of XML in the database. For example, in Oracle9i there are:
- a new datatype - XMLType for storing and retrieving XML documents
- DBMS_XMLGEN package and SYS_XMLGEN, SYS_XMLAGG functions for generating XML document from complex SQL queries
- A pipelined table function to break down large XML documents into rows.
You can check out some examples using SYS_XMLGEN and DBMS_XMLGEN for your specific needs at http://download-west.oracle.com/otndoc/oracle9i/901_doc/appdev.901/a88894/adx05xml.htm#1017141

How to update Nested tables with xsu

Hello,
I have three tables.
1) DEPARTMENT_TAB
2) EMPLOYEE_TYP
3) ADDRESS_TYP
ADDRESS_TYP is a collection and it is nested inside EMPLOYEE_TYP.
EMPLOYEE_TYP is a collection and it is nested inside DEPARTMENT_TAB.
created with below scropt
CREATE TYPE ADDRESS_TYP AS OBJECT (CITY VARCHAR2(10), STATE VARCHAR2(2));
CREATE TYPE ADDRESS_TYP_NT AS TABLE OF ADDRESS_TYP;
CREATE TYPE EMPLOYEE_TYP AS OBJECT (EMPNO NUMBER(4), ENAME VARCHAR2(10), ADDRESS_VAR ADDRESS_TYP_NT);
CREATE TYPE EMPLOYEE_TYP_NT AS TABLE OF EMPLOYEE_TYP;
CREATE TABLE DEPARTMENT_TAB (DEPTNO NUMBER(4), DNAME VARCHAR2(10), EMPLOYEE_VAR EMPLOYEE_TYP_NT)
NESTED TABLE EMPLOYEE_VAR STORE AS EMPLOYEE_TAB
( NESTED TABLE ADDRESS_VAR STORE AS ADDRESS_TAB);
I inserted two rows in DEPARTMENT_TAB and their nested tables using normalsql. and i generated below xml content using XSU java API
oracle.xml.sql.query.OracleXMLQuery
My Question is How to UPDATE a row in ADDRESS_TAB using XSU java API
oracle.xml.sql.dml.OracleXMLSave.
(When i was trying to update address_tab nested table's row with xml input file. it is deleting other existing rows)
Thanks.

Why do you say it does not work?

Un-nest XML with single child element

I'm trying to write a generic function for un-nesting child nodes where nesting is deemed unnecessary. Typically when the element only has one child element.
For example, given the following source....
<ROOT>
<ITEM>
    <DESCRIPTION>TEST1</DESCRIPTION>
</ITEM>
<ITEM>
    <DESCRIPTION>TEST2</DESCRIPTION>
</ITEM>
</ROOT>I actually want.....
<ROOT>
<DESCRIPTION>TEST1</DESCRIPTION>
<DESCRIPTION>TEST2</DESCRIPTION>
</ROOT>because we think ITEM isn't really required before we deliver XML data.
I've been trying to achieve this with a function, where I pass in the XPath to the node I want flattening, something like
function UnNest(pXMLData XMLType, pXPath varchar2) return XMLType...Called like the following...
declare
begin
vXMLData := UnNest(SomeXMLData, '/ROOT/ITEM')
end;I tried using XQuery Update (11gR2), as follows,
select /*+ no_xml_query_rewrite */
xmlquery('
    copy $d := .
     modify (
        for $i in $d/ROOT/ITEM
        return
          replace node $i with $i/child::node()
     return $d'
passing xmltype(
'<ROOT>
<ITEM>
    <DESCRIPTION>TEST1</DESCRIPTION>
</ITEM>
<ITEM>
    <DESCRIPTION>TEST2</DESCRIPTION>
</ITEM>
</ROOT>'
returning content) XML
from dual.... which works, but when I try to pass in a path variable, it doesn't.
select /*+ no_xml_query_rewrite */
xmlquery('
    copy $d := .
     modify (
        for $i in $d/$Unnestpath
        return
          replace node $i with $i/child::node()
     return $d'
passing xmltype(
'<ROOT>
<ITEM>
    <DESCRIPTION>TEST1</DESCRIPTION>
</ITEM>
<ITEM>
    <DESCRIPTION>TEST2</DESCRIPTION>
</ITEM>
</ROOT>'
'ROWSET/ROW' as "Unnestpath"
returning content) XML
from dual
ORA-19112: error raised during evaluation:
XVM-01020: [XPTY0020] The path step context item is not a node
6             replace node $i with $i/child::node()
-                                   ^Am I missing something obvious?
My destination platform is 11gR2 64 bit but going forward I may need a solution for 10gR2 too. Perhaps there is another way without using XQuery Update? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Another option is XSLT, which will work on both releases, or a combination of extract/updatexml calls.

Typically when the element only has one child element.If it's a general rule to apply, XSLT can do it very easily on every node that satisfies this condition.

Problem with XSU and DataSources with nested cursors?

We are having a problem with the xsu libraries (OracleXMLQuery) using nested cursor syntax. The class returns nicely nested xml document when a database connection is established in the traditional/legacy manner of "class.forName(); DriverManager.registerDriver();" .
However, when using a DataSouce object within a J2EE container, we get an xml document back that only represents the main level of the resultset with datatypes + memory addresses for the cursor fields (instead of the expected nested xml elements).
Any thoughts?
BTW, we are using the iPlanet Application Server with an Oracle 9i database.
for instance:
SELECT a, b, CURSOR(select m, n, o
from table2
where table1.x = table2.y),
d, e, f
FROM table1
WHERE table1.name = 'Matt'

Somebody please answer this question?

Working With Nested XML Data

Hello,
I'm doing my best to create a page in Dreamweaver CS4 utilizing Spry datasets and, I hope, a valid nested XML file. What I want to do is use one XML file that provides the content for my nav div and my content div. It would, in essence, display as an outline. When a user clicks on an item in the nav div the content would be displayed. What I'm guessing would work for the XML file would be this format:
<content>
<topic name="Elements">   //--this would serve as the nav element and trigger
    <header>Non-editable</header>   //--this would serve as a header in the content area
    <info>
      <detail id="1">CSS, javascript</detail>   //--this would serve as detail under the headers in the content area.
      <detail id="2">Headers</detail>
      <detail id="3">Footers</detail>
      <detail id="4">Areas within navigation panel</detail>
    </info>
</topic>
</content>
I got the idea from this page in Live Docs: Create a Spry nested data set. Also from a Labs page called Nested XML Data Sample. I've been able to make various parts of the page work but I don't know what is broken. My issues are this:
I once saw but can no longer find a method for preventing redundant display of data. In this case, the nav elements which are attributes in my XML file.
The details are showing up in my content area. I must be doing the code for the nesting incorrectly.
I want to then use the details in the content area to trigger spry tooltips, the content for whih would be genereated from an XML file or HTML frags.
Here is my latest, ill-fated attempt:

I apologize, im using Spry XML Data Set. i guess the best way to describe what im trying to do is, i want to use the Non-desctructive filter sample with the Spry Nested XML Data sample. So with my sample xml on my first post and with the same code non-destructive filter is using, im having trouble trying to search repeating nodes, for some reason it only searches the last node of the repeating nodes. Does that make sense? let me know.
thank you Arnout!

Using Non-destructive filter with Nested XML data

Hi,
How do you use Non-destructive filter with Nested XML data?
I am using the non-destructive filter sample with my own xml which is setup to search for the <smc></smcs> in my xml below. But when i test it it only searches the last row of the "smc". How can i make it work so it can search for repeating nodes? or does it have something to with how my xml is setup?

Help how to create full set of nested table with given xml schema?

Hi everyone, I am new to oracle and programming language. Recently I was asked to create nested table with given a complex xml schema. I knew that after the registration of xsd file, oracle will generate few tables( including nested table) and types for the users. But it seems to be not complete set of tables. Can anyone please help me with the problem. Really thanks a lot on the help given. I would like to give extra explanation if what I have given above is not clear enough. Thanks

How about posting the XML Schema, the code you used to register it, the database version you are using and the list of nested tables that were generated...

Spry Menu Using Nested XML Dataset (Spry 1.6)

I have a vertical menu with a few items. One of which is
labeled Products which has submenus. I want to have that submenu
read from a Nested XML dataset. Using a single dataset for one
level in a menu is easy enough, but the subenu will have submenus.
Example Menu:
Home
Company
Products
|-- Product 1
|-- Item 1
|-- Item 2
|-- Item 3
|-- Product 2
|-- Item 1
|-- Item 2
|-- Product 3
|-- Item 1
|-- Item 2
|-- Item 3
|-- Item 4
|-- Product 4
|-- Item 1
|-- Item 2
|-- Product 5
I have been looking for an easy way to use the Spry Nested
XML Dataset to create the Product/Item menu. The number of Products
may vary as well as the number of Items in each Product submenu
(also, some Products may not have Items).
I already have an ASP page that creates the XML data from a
database.
Schema follows (XSD ):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xsd:element name="products">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="product_type"
maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="type_name" maxOccurs="1"
type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="type_url" maxOccurs="1"
type="xsd:anyURI"/>
<xsd:element name="product_name"
maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="item_name" maxOccurs="1"
type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="item_url" maxOccurs="1"
type="xsd:anyURI"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
I have been programming for 17 years but am new to Spry. If
this cannot be done easily with the Spry framework, I'll probably
wind up splitting the XML data into 2 files (Products and Items)
then writing a nested loop and call each by row, but then I have to
find out how Spry Datasets reference XML data. Figuring out how to
call rows from the XML data shouldn't be so bad, but this method
just seems like such a hassle for something that should be easy.
Pseudocode follows:
j=1
i=1 to TotalNumberProducts
display Product i from Products
ItemsExist=true
While ItemsExist
if j > TotalNumberItems | Item j is not for Product then
ItemsExist=false
else
display Item j from Items
j++
Wend
Next
Thanks in advance for any help or direction!

That's exactly what I'm trying to do. However, I implemented
that code and the submenus won't appear. I suspect the submenus
aren't finding the field names from the Nested XML Dataset. The
first level of Product menus work great (this is a submenu of the
overall menu) and correctly identify products that do not have
submenus, so I know it's picking up the number of records in the
Nested Dataset correctly - it just won't display the data in the
next level of menu.

How to construct the where clause for a nested xml target file

Post Author: jlpete72
CA Forum: Data Integration
I'm having some problems getting the desired results creating a multi-level nested xml file. Specifically, it does not seem that the where clause in the child schemas respects values from parent schemas. I'm sure I'm constructing something incorrectly, but am running out of ideas.
I am working with the classic company/order/line hierarchy and there are three levels of output schemas in my target xml file, one for company, order header and order line information.
For testing, I have hardcoded a restriction at the order header line to deal with only one order. But unless I hardcode values into the where clause at the order line level of the schema, all values are returned for orders belonging to the company defined in the company level.
I'm trying a where clause at the order line level similar to:
order_line.customer = order_header.customer and order_line.order_num = order_header.order_num
If the customer has more than one order in the data file, then all orders for that customer are placed in the detail for the order header. Only if I hard code the order number in the where clause do I get only the lines for the order specified in the header section. Not very practical.
What am I missing?

An External Parsed Entity could be used to reference a schema.
In your DTD:
<!ENTITY datamodules SYSTEM "file:///c:/Datamodules/Datamodules.xsd">
Refer the external entity in xml document:
<datamodules>&datamodules;</datamodules>

As I recall from my 8i days (it's been many years), the only way to do this is to install the XML XDK. From http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/xml/xdk/xdk_java.html, it says "The Oracle9i versions of the XDK can also be used to build applications designed to interface with Oracle8i databases." I had thought the 10g version could do that as well but I'm not seeing it now.
Since XMLType was not part of 8i, you will need to use PL/SQL to take your Select statement results and build them into a DOMDocument structure.
Hope that helps.

Error message "can't nest items with different editing timebases"

Hello final cut wiz group!
I just finished a soundtrack in Logic Pro 7 and am trying to import the XML into Final Cut 5 with my G5 (OS 10.4.1). I'm getting a message that says "30 fps, NTSC rate does not match sequence preset time base 25 fps. The timebase defined in the the XML will be used. Unable to edit clip into sequence."
I can get the sound to play after rendering, but when I try to bring the clip into the sequence, I get an error that says cannot nest items with conflicting timebases?
Anybody have an idea how I can get myself out of this problem?
Thanks for your help!
DJ

I'm not too familiar with using the XML functions but 25fps I believe is PAL and 30fps would be NTSC. That is a problem. When you export from Logic you may be able to change a frame rate setting in the export dialog. Or you could just bounce the file into a compatable format such as AIF or wave/PCM and then import that. Good luck.

Generating Deeply nested XML from a flat file

Hi All,
I am working on a MQ to IDOC scenario.
I am getting a flat file as input. I need to convert it into XML( so that XI can understand it).
But conversion is into a "Deeply Nested XML from a Flat File" at sender side (JMS Adapter).
Any inputs on this.
Regards,
Vikas

You can only convert flat file into xml structure with 3 levels.
If you need to convert flat file into deep nested xml structure, you have to do java mapping or xslt or abap mapping. There is a tool, I think it's called conversion agent by itemfield (bought by SAP), which can do pretty everything with conversion. Never used it though.

How do I change alphabetical element listing in xml to nested xml using xslt?

Have an 'Bus Card Request' indd form exported to fillable form pdf (reader enabled etc). Have 'Bus Card Template' indd to receive the BC data from the returned filled pdf form.
The tags & structure are identical on both indd docs.
The xml exported from the pdf discards the structure (nesting) and provides all the elements in alphabetical order.
I am a novice learning how to make an xslt that will transform the alphabetical listing back to the nested structure.
I want to turn this:

Is this xslt code on the right track?
(i've left out the usual header stuff)

I'm just trying to figure out what the words are to make nesting occur in the resultant xml so it will match the nesting order in the Bus Card input template.
Thanks!
Paul

Hi Paul,
Is this xslt code on the right track?
Yes, no...
The root element in the XML from the form is "fields" without the quote marks. So the XSL needs the full path to the elements to include the "fields" root element. The select would therefore be "<xsl:value-of select="fields/Name" />"
Note that because I like seeing the XML with line breaks, the "<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>" precedes each line. Without that, one gets a long string. But it isn't really needed and there are other means of accomplishing it.
I think the below will do what you need.
Take care, Mike
