Reading XML file in database

I have to read the XML file which is on UNIX and populate the data from XML file in Oracle Table. Can somebody tell me how to do this. We are using Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.4.0

You can use 3 packages called:
XMLPARSER
XMLDOM
XMLPROCESSOR
XML API Reference - XDK and Oracle XML DB Contents / Search / Index / PDF
XML Database Developer's Guide - Oracle XML DB Contents / Search / Index / PDF

Error while retreiving xml file from database

Hi-
I am trying to configure Planning and getting the following error message at instance configuration step:
"Error while retreiving xml file from database"
We looked at PlanningSystemDB.properties, changes server name to its ip, reinstalled planning, made sure both auth methods are selected (sql server and windows), created new relational repository.. still the same error.

Thanks for any help.

After spending 2+ hrs with Hyperion Support nothing got resolved.. Just to give more background on this problem, we originally reconfigured all Hyperion components to use different SQL server, that is when the problem started happening as soon as we got to Planning Instance Configuration. Could this be the situations when old server name is still somewhere in the system?.. Could this be Shared Services problem.
Here is another quote from SharedServices_Security.log

System Failure:-Error while retreiving xml file from database

I install Planning 9.3.1 at Windows2003 server SP1 and MS SQL 2000 SP3A. In Hyperion Planning Instance Registration I take "System Failure:-Error while retreiving xml file from database" error in Configuration .
Please help
Thanks

I also have the same error. Win2000 Server and MS SQL 2005.
Maybe someone made request for official information from Oracle about this issue?
I'd like to change MS SQL to Oracle 10g, I hope this can helps (if reason in RDBMS). But if reason in logic of scripts... I dont't know...

Please recommend if we have options to read xml file and insert data into table without a temporary table.

Using XML file as Database

Hi all,
Can we use an XML file as Database? Currently I'm using Microsoft Sql Server 2000 as the beckend. Now I'm creating a small project which does not require much functionality of Sql Server. I want it to run without help of any others software installation.
I need only insertion and extraction in a simple manner i.e. no much joins or unions and other implications.
Thanks

sure, just define the format, write the engine, write the drivers, etc. etc.
Far easier to use some lightweight embedded database engine though (but maybe not as much fun).Thanks for reply.
Pls post link to the page or resource where I can read about that.
Also, if you have link to the critical comments on this technique, pls post them also.

How to read Read XML File

How can i read data from xml file and store relevant data in my database? what r the initial requirements to read xml file.

So if the Database is in Japanese for instance, using Unicode, and you wanted to use pl/sql queries to create an XML file you could do that and then read that XML file back into pl/sql insert queries after web transmission to another Oracle 8i database? Any good resources that you know of for doing this kind of thing?
-dan
It depends on exactly what you want to do. If you fetch an XML document from a web page you can store it as a CLOB in the database, if you want to read it from a file you need to be aware of character set translation problems when using Unicode character sets and dbms_lob.Read function, use utl_file instead. If you wish to transform the XML document using XSLT then you need to load the stylesheet from OS, parse it and apply it to the document.
If you want some sample code then reply with a mail address.

Load and Read XML file size more than 4GB

Hi All
My environment is Oracle 10.2.0.4 on Solaris and I have processes to work with XML file as below detail by PL/SQL
1. I read XML file over HTTP port into XMLTYPE column in table.
2. I read value no.1 from table and extract to insert into another table
On test db, everything is work but I got below error when I use production XML file
     ORA-31186: Document contains too many nodes
Current XML size about 100MB but the procedure must support XML file size more than 4GB in the future.
Belows are some part of my code for your info.
1. Read XML by line into variable and insert into table
LOOP
UTL_HTTP.read_text(http_resp, v_resptext, 32767);
DBMS_LOB.writeappend (v_clob, LENGTH(v_resptext), v_resptext);
    END LOOP;
    INSERT INTO XMLTAB VALUES (XMLTYPE(v_clob));
2. Read cell value from XML column and extract to insert into another table
DECLARE
CURSOR c_xml IS
(SELECT trim(y.cvalue)
FROM XMLTAB xt,
XMLTable('/Table/Rows/Cells/Cell' PASSING xt.XMLDoc
COLUMNS
cvalue
VARCHAR(50)
PATH '/') y;
    BEGIN
OPEN c_xml;
FETCH c_xml INTO v_TempValue;
<Generate insert statement into another table>
EXIT WHEN c_xml%NOTFOUND;
CLOSE c_xml;
    END
And one more problem is performance issue when XML file is big, first step to load XML content to XMLTYPE column slowly.
Could you please suggest any solution to read large XML file and improve performance?
Thank you in advance.
Hiko

See Mark Drake's (Product Manager Oracle XMLDB, Oracle US) response in this old post: ORA-31167: 64k size limit for XML node
The "in a future release" reference, means that this boundary 64K / node issue, was lifted in 11g and onwards...
So first of all, if not only due to performance improvements, I would strongly suggest to upgrade to a database version which is supported by Oracle, see My Oracle Support... In short Oracle 10.2.x was in extended support up to summer 2013, if I am not mistaken and is currently not supported anymore...
If you are able to able to upgrade, please use the much, much more performing XMLType Securefile Binary XML storage option, instead of the XMLType (Basicfile) CLOB storage option.

FM to read XML files from Application server in ECC5.0

Hi All,
We need to pick up an XML file from Application server/FTP server. The requirement is to parse the XML file and process it to create material master. SAP provides standard function modules to read XML files.
Now we need to read the XML file contents of MM01 and upload into SAP Data Base through BAPI
I need to know about the Function modules to read XML files from Application Server and also about the FM's that will update the Date base tables with the data obtained form XML files.
Regards
Prathima

For creating the material master look at BAPI_STANDARDMATERIAL_CREATE.

"Error retrieving xml file from database"

Hello All,
I have installed and configured planning with Shared services. While I try to create an instance in Configuration Utility by entering the Instance Name, Host Name, Port (8300) and Click "Next", I get this error -
*"System failure:Error retrieving xml file from database".*
My RDBMS is - SQL Server 2005
OS - Windows 2003 Server
I am unable to work on planning for few months due to this error.. I would sincerely appreciate if someone can provide me a solution for this..
Thanks much,
Varma.

Hi,
Ive seen this before.
If this is a new environment could you create a blank database and configure it as your System database? Then try again and you should be fine.
I think you may have some invalid entries in your sys database.
