PL/SQL parser for 7.3 DB?

We have an ORACLE 7.3 DB and are looking for a PL/SQL parser for XML... Some of the posts I've seen seem to suggest that a solution exists, but I'm not having any luck finding out for sure...
Thanks,

Execute SQL Task - FOR XML PATH query error

I have the following query
SELECT pl.Id,
pl.StartTime,
pl.EndTime,
pl.PackageName,
pl.Computer,
pl.Operator,
CASE WHEN (CHARINDEX('stack trace', pl.ErrorDescription) > 0) Then
   SUBSTRING(pl.ErrorDescription, 0, CHARINDEX('stack trace', pl.ErrorDescription))
   ELSE
   pl.ErrorDescription
   END as ErrorDescription
ISNULL(ErrorFile,'') as ErrorFile,
'Not Applicable' as SourceSystem
FROM etl.PackageLog as pl
WHERE pl.Processed = 0
ORDER BY pl.StartTime, pl.PackageName
FOR XML PATH('Row'), ROOT(N'FieldingCounts')
in a Execute SQL Task and i get the following error:
[Execute SQL Task] Error: Executing the query "SELECT pl.Id,
pl.StartTime,
pl.EndTime,
pl.Package..." failed with the following error: "An invalid character was found in text content.
". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
The query execute without problem in database and in the ssis package doens't run because of the column
CASE WHEN (CHARINDEX('stack trace', pl.ErrorDescription) > 0) Then
   SUBSTRING(pl.ErrorDescription, 0, CHARINDEX('stack trace', pl.ErrorDescription))
   ELSE
   pl.ErrorDescription
   END as ErrorDescription
Any help to overcome the problem?
Thanks

Hi,
It looks like that you must be trying to set the result of the query to some variable from the Execute SQL Task. If yes, make sure that the target variable is of the correct data type where XML string can fit into. Considering that in SSIS, we have
some limit for XML strings.
Please let me know if it doesn't help.
Thanks,

Custom parser for XML

Hello forum,
I want to put in iFS XML documents with binary content encoded in base64.
I have created "PrintedDoc" base on "Document" with new attributes: Name, Pages, PeportName.
I created test XML file and iFS parses it just fine.
This is an example of XML file:
<?xml version = '1.0' standalone = 'yes'?>
<PrintedDoc>
<Name> Angebot-Nr. 123 vom 12.06.2002.pdf </Name>
<FolderPath> /printed/Angebote </FolderPath>
<Pages> 3 </Pages>
<Format RefType="name"> PDF </Format>
<ReportName> Angebot </ReportName>
<Content>AABC-+.....AABCD</Content>
</PrintedDoc>
Now I want to decode content back into binary format and store binary data. I have written java class for decoding. I will write a parser that decodes base64 content into binary data.
My question: How I can register my parser for that xml document? I read about including namespace into document and registering custom XML parser, but this will give me the whole xml document as incoming data.
I would appreciate if you share your experience or give some hints.
TIA
Alexandre

Hi again,
I'm trying to write XML pareser implementing XmlParserInterface. I have implemented parse methods and used IfsXmlParser.CreateDOM to get parsed XMLDocument.
As far as I know, my xml parser should be instaneiated by IfsXmlParser, which in turn calls one of parse methods. The problem is that XmlParserInterface doesn't contain constructors to implement. For example, interface Parser has constructor with argument of type LibrarySession.
How I can get current LibrarySession from my XML parser? Should I implement both interfaces Parser and XmlParserInterface?
Thanks for any help,
Alexandre.
PS: are Java sources of iFS available somewhere? It would be helpful to get knowledge of how the things working. There is no documentation for creating XML parsers. I have only found about writing usual custom parsers in Developer Guide and a little in iFS API. But that is very scant. :(((

PL/SQL parser for 8.1.5

Hi,
Can anyone tell me a URL from where I can download the PL/SQL XML parser 1.0.1. -- OTN only has 1.0.2 which uses the later JDK, causing the "failure to resolve" errors.
Thanks
John

Use the SQL scripts and xmlplsql.jar from PLSQL XML Parser 1.0.2 with the xmlparserv2.jar that's available in the ./lib directory of the XSQL Servlet 1.0.0.0 download.
The latter is still the 2.0.2.7 XML Parser
until the 1.0.1.0 release.

Parser for XML as output from DB..

Hi Guys,
Can some one tell me a parser which can take a query and gives the output as an XML format. And takes an XML file and puts the data into DB. pl. let me know from where i can download the parser. and if u have any sample code pl give me.
Any help would be appreciated greatly.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks alot Bernhard.
I got it. But now i would like to know, can i specify the XML format to be generated(DTD kind of thing)when we make a query, like the query will be getting the data of two tables say master and child. so for each record of master there can be multiple childs. at that time i dont want the master data come along with all the childs(master data duplication should not be there). let me put like this. In the master tag there can/should be multiple child tags(sub tags). can this be done using the XSU or XDK ? In the same way can we insert data into two tables at a time. its like we will be taking the data from two tables do some operations reduce some data and then insert into two tables again. can this be achieved with xml file. And i would like to know how to generate one xml for one master record(including its child records, going to be join or sub query etc..) Am i clear on to my question ? If u have any sample data on this could u give me. once again thanks alot for the url.
Any help would be appreciated greatly.
Thanks in advance.

I need to use PL/SQL to read from XML file and from what I understand, create a table in the db where the data from XML file will go.
I'm pretty new to PL/SQL and XML...how do I get started?
Am on 10g XE on local machine, but have access to dev 10g Enterprise.
Thanks!

Use the createTextNode method to create a new text node. Then
convert the DOMElement to a DOMNode using makeNode. Now, you can
use appendChild to append the text node to the DOMElement.

Parser for XML

Hi you all,
I would just like to hear from you, what parser do you usually use to work with XML.
JAXP or JDOM.
THere so many choices...
Many Thanks,
MeTitus

`hi
DOM is mainly used if we have to build or alter the xml docs and sax if we have to only read the xml docs
DOM is mainly prefered in the real world
hope this helps

Validate xml with PL/SQL Parser

Hi,
i have an xml DTD into a VARCHAR2 variable and an xml document
into a CLOB, i'd like to know how to validate the xml with my
DTD using PL/SQL API for xml.
Sorry for my terrible english (i'm not english) :-)
Tank you.

Here's an example:
set serveroutput on
DECLARE
p xmlparser.parser;
d xmldom.DOMDocument;
dtd xmldom.DOMDocumentType;
v varchar2(32700);
good clob;
bad clob;
xml_parse_error exception;
pragma exception_init(xml_parse_error,-20100);
BEGIN
bad   := '<!DOCTYPE Department SYSTEM "test.dtd"><Deprtment/>';
good := '<!DOCTYPE Department
SYSTEM "test.dtd"><Department/>';
v := '<!ELEMENT Department EMPTY>';
p := xmlparser.newParser;
xmlparser.parseDTDBuffer(p,v,'Department');
xmlparser.setDoctype(p,xmlparser.getDoctype(p));
xmlparser.setValidationMode(p,TRUE);
xmlparser.parseClob(p,good);
xmlparser.parseClob(p,bad);
xmlparser.freeParser (p);
EXCEPTION
WHEN xml_parse_error THEN
     DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(sqlerrm);
     xmlparser.freeParser (p);

PL/SQL Parser engine

Hi,
I am developing a logging framework, where applications which are initiating PL/SQL transactions also log the same using our framework. The reason being, the application owner can then analyze data from these logs. I was wondering whether there is something in existence like the "General SQL Parser" for a linux based c++ component, so that we can parse the PL/SQL blocks and represent the data in a certain format.
Are there any ORACLE libraries that I can use, which would work with PYTHON or any other scripting languages and parse the PL/SQLs albeit out of the scope of the ORACLE DB itself.
Do let me know,
cheers,
jags

Our logging framework is a generic c++ framework, where applications have a 2 stage approach
1) Execute the SQL transaction to their DB host.
2) The same SQL transaction is then logged to our framework (non DB), we then generate reports on these SQL transactions.
We are already handling parsing the log data for the SQL commands but need something for the PL/SQL blocks.

SAX, incor. data for XML element, XML 1.1 doc (1.0 ok) in JRE 6 (JRE 5 ok)

Hello,
for some reason, the test case below fails when driven with Java 6. Looks like, when long string data is stored in a XML element, DocumentHandler's characters() method will be provided with incorrect data.
With XML 1.0, parsing works fine in all my tests, Apache Xerces, JRE 5, JRE 6.
With XML 1.1., parsing works fine with Apache Xerces, JRE5 but not with JRE6.
I've checked it with latest JRE 6 update 4.
Anyone else xperiencing such problems with XML1.1 parsing when using JAXP bundled with Java 6?
I've tried to file a bug at bugdatabase, but for some reason I got no response for my issue - so I'm trying the forum now ;-)
Thanx for comments

thanx, DrClap, haven't seen the "code" button for some reason, code is attached again
The output of my test is like this for JRE6 (truncated)
xml_sun 456789 This is is some text 0. 0123456789 This is some text 1.
xml_apache 0123456789 This is some text 0. 0123456789 This is some text 1.
Notice, xml_sun not only starts wrong ("0123" missing) - for some reason, the text there is not "This is some text" but "This is is some text" - very interesting in a way. I guess there's an issue with repeated text chunks ...
So, the data in my XML element is kind of changed, the length of the string is okay but the characters are "misplaced" or so :-) I thought about a problem with StringBuffer first, but the StringBuffer works fine for Apache ... so I really think there's an issue with JRE 6's parser for XML 1.1
