Store XML data as relational data into Oracle tables using Java and XMLType

I want to store xml data into an Oracle 11g table as relational storage, not as CLOB or Binary storage. Then I should also be able to query and fetch this data from table into an XML file.
Any hint on how to write java code using XMLType to achieve this?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the explanation. I still have few confusions. I will try to elaborate my requirement with a simple example...
I have the following xsd and xml files. "note" would be the table in database and "to", "from", "heading" and "body" would be the columns of note table. "Tove", "Jan", "Reminder" and "Don't forget me this weekend!" would go as data in one row of note table.
How do I create note table with the xml schema (xsd file)?
Should the note table be of XMLType or the columns?
How do I load the XML data into the columns of note table?
How do I retrieve the row of note table as XML file?
XML Schema:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.xxxxx.com"
xmlns="http://www.xxxxx.com"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xs:element name="note">
<xs:complexType>
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="to" type="xs:string"/>
      <xs:element name="from" type="xs:string"/>
      <xs:element name="heading" type="xs:string"/>
      <xs:element name="body" type="xs:string"/>
    </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
XML Data:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jan</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>

TEXT_IO is a PL/SQL package available only in Forms (you'll want to post in the Forms forum for more information). It is not available in a stored procedure in the database (where the equivalent package is UTL_FILE).
If the Terminal Server machine and the database machine do not have access to the file system on the client machine, no application running on either machine will have access to the file. Barring exceptional setups (like the FTP server on the client machine), your applications are not going to have more access to the client machine than the operating system does.
If you map the client drives from the Terminal Server box, there is the potential for your Forms application to access those files. If you want the files to be accessible to a stored procedure in the database, you'll need to move the files somewhere the database can access them.

Incorrect data value when insert into oracle table

Would like to ask expert here, how could I insert data into oracle table where the value is 03 ? The case is like that, the column was defined as varchar2(50) data type, and I have a csv file where the value is 03 but when load into oracle table the value become 3 instead of 03.

implicit datatype conversion to NUMBER can result in leading zero to be eliminated.

Can select, but cannot insert into oracle tables using php.

I am having trouble inserting data into a tables in oracle using PHP. I can insert into the tables using baninst1, but nothing else. I can't even insert using the tables' owner. Every time I try I get the ORA-00492 error of table or view does not exist. However, I can run a select statement just fine. So far, baninst1 is the only user that can actually do inserts. I've triple checked all the table grants and everything is fine. Also, I can copy/paste the exact insert statement into SQL*Plus and it works with the correct user. It doesn't have to be baninst1. I've tried everything I can think of. I've tried putting the table name in quotes, adding the schema name to the table, checking public synonyms, but everything appears to be ok. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions others may have.
I'm using PHP 5.2.3 with an oracle 9i DB.

Here is the code that doesn't work. It works only with baninst1, no other username will work and all I do is change the my_username/my_password to something different. This is one example function where I try to do an insert, but it doesn't work on any of the tables I try.
Thanks for looking.

Parse XML Elements/Attributes from CLOB into Oracle Table

Hi!
I have an XML file (loaded into a CLOB) which I need to parse and have each individual element and attribute inserted into an oracle table for manipulation.
Eg: XML File...
<PERSON>
<PER_ID changed="1">1</PER_ID>
<SURNAME changed="1">MARTIN</SURNAME>
<ADDRESS>
<STREET_NO changed="1">1</STREET_NO>
<POSTCODE changed="1">LE3 8RA</POSTCODE>
</ADDRESS>
</PERSON>
There will only ever be one address.
From this I need to extract
* PER_ID and related changed attribute
* SURNAME and related changed attribute
* STREET_NO and related changed attribute
* POSTCODE and related changed attribute
and insert a single record into the table below:
CREATE TABLE PERSON AS
( PER_ID VARCHAR2(10)
, ID_CHANGED VARCHAR2(1)
, SURNAME VARCHAR2(30)
, ID_CHANGED VARCHAR2(1)
, STREET_NO VARCHAR2(5)
, ID_CHANGED VARCHAR2(1)
, POSTCODE VARCHAR2(10) );
Any assistance/advice would be very much appreciated. I've tried using DBMS_XMLSave / DBMS_XMLStore which works great at pulling in elements (PER_ID, SURNAME, etc) straight into the table but doesn't look at the changed attributes, and I need both.
Thanks a million in advance to anyone who can crack this!!

XML data into Oracle Tables. XML file on Application Server.Oracle Apps R12

Hi All,
My Database version : 11.2.0.2.0
I have an XML file which needs to be loaded into the Database Tables. How ever i do not want to use the XMLTYPE as given below
insert into test1 (
SELECT PrcDate, PmtType, PmtStatus, PmtTypeCount, PmtTypeAmt
FROM XMLTABLE(
'/WFPaymentAck/RejectedDom1ACH'
PASSING XMLTYPE( BFILENAME('ECX_UTL_LOG_DIR_OBJ','wf_test_xml.XML'), NLS_CHARSET_ID('UTF8') )
COLUMNS
PrcDate VARCHAR2(2000) PATH '@PrcDate' ,
PmtType VARCHAR2(2000) PATH '@PmtType' ,
PmtStatus VARCHAR2(100) PATH '@PmtStatus' ,
PmtTypeCount VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'PmtTypeCount' ,
PmtTypeAmt VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'PmtTypeAmt'
Because this way the XML file needs to reside on the DB server.
I am looking into other option of loading the XML file into a CLOB column of a table and reading it from that column.
I did a couple of tests and feel that this way also the XML file has to reside on the Database Server itself. I am not sure if this is correct or if there is any problem with our TEST instance.
++Can anyone let me know if i need to have the XML file on the DB server instead of the Application server to load into a CLOB column of table ??++
++Or++
++Is there any other workaround for me to load XML into Oracle Tables, while having the XML file on Application Server.++
Your immediate help is appreciated. I need to get past this ASAP.
Thanks in Advance.

1) Are you asking me to create a folder on Database directory which points to a folder on the Apps server ?I suggest creating an Oracle directory object (a database object) pointing to a real location (folder) on Application server.
we DONOT want a hand shake between the DB Server and the APPS server.I don't see where the problem is.
I'm not familiar with Apps R12 but there's no doubt the two servers are already communicating, at least App server should be able to access the DB for the whole thing to run.
As I said :
One way or another, the data has to make its way to the database, there's no workaround to that.How do you imagine the data will end up in a database table if it doesn't come to the DB server?
There's no magical method out there, both servers have to communicate at some point.
About client-server approaches (client being here the App server), you can read about accessing the XML DB repository in the XML DB Developer's Guide : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e23094/toc.htm
Other option : SQL*Loader can load a CLOB, or an XMLType column too

Insert XML data into oracle table

I want to insert xml data returned by the VB code into oracle table.
As a prequisite I have installed the XDK capabilities for Oracle by installing JServer & running
SQL scripts catxsu.sql,xmlparserv2.jar,load.sql to load the XMLSQL Utility (DBMS_XMLQuery) into the database.
I have also granted following privileges to the user.
Grant users access to XMLParser and XMLDom packages:
     grant execute on xmldom to public;
     grant execute on xmlparser to public;
     create public synonym xmldom for sys.xmldom;
     create public synonym xmlparser for sys.xmlparser;
But still i am not able to create procedure which will accept input parameter as an XML document coming from front end which in turn will insert that record into simple oracle table . I am using Oracle 8.1.7
Thanks in advance

Would you specify the database version?
Since DBMS_XMLSave requires DOM, you normally need to divide the huge XML before insertion.

Best Practice to fetch SQL Server data and Insert into Oracle Tables

Hello,
I want to read sqlserver data everry half an hour and write into oracle tables ( in two different databases). What is the best practice for doing this?
We do not have any database dblinks from oracle to sqlserver and vice versa.
Any help is highly appreciable?
Thanks

Well, that's easy:
use a TimerTask to do the following every half an hour:
- open a connection to sql server
- open two connections to the oracle databases
- for each row you read from the sql server, do the inserts into the oracle databases
- commit
- close all connections
