Any Element Support

Question

Does XDB support xml schema with any elements? What will the any element mapped to?
Thanks

Answer 1

The reason I'm asking is that the following test case is not working for me - Please help.
1). My xsd file "Test.xsd" -
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xdb="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb" version="1.0">
     <xs:element name="TestAny" type="ComplexType" xdb:defaultTable="TEST_ANY"/>
     <xs:complexType name="ComplexType" xdb:SQLType="XDB_COMPLEX_TYPE">
          <xs:sequence>
               <xs:any minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
          </xs:sequence>
     </xs:complexType>
<xs:element name="Element1" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element name="Element2" type="xs:string" />
</xs:schema>
2). After registering with Oracle, the following Objects generated -
TNAME TABTYPE
Element1413_TAB TABLE
Element2412_TAB TABLE
TEST_ANY TABLE
SQL> desc test_any
Name Null? Type
TABLE of SYS.XMLTYPE(XMLSchema "http://MOB5164:8080/Test.xsd" Element "TestAny") STORAGE Object-rela
tional TYPE "XDB_COMPLEX_TYPE"
SQL> desc "XDB_COMPLEX_TYPE"
"XDB_COMPLEX_TYPE" is NOT FINAL
Name Null? Type
SYS_XDBPD$ XDB.XDB$RAW_LIST_T
SYS_XDBANY411$ VARCHAR2(4000)
SQL> desc "Element1413_TAB"
Name Null? Type
TABLE of SYS.XMLTYPE(XMLSchema "http://MOB5164:8080/Test.xsd" Element "Element1")
SQL> desc "Element2412_TAB"
Name Null? Type
TABLE of SYS.XMLTYPE(XMLSchema "http://MOB5164:8080/Test.xsd" Element "Element2")
3). ftp xml file "Test.xml" to XDB - (the file has been validated by XMLSpy)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TestAny xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://mob5164:8080/Test.xsd">
     <Element1>this is element 1</Element1>
     <Element1>this is element 1</Element1>
     <Element2>this is element 2</Element2>
     <Element2>this is element 2</Element2>
     <Element1>this is element 1</Element1>
</TestAny>
4). The file is loaded into the XDB repository instead of to table TEST_ANY.
