Clob field cannot generate to XML

I'm using Reports6i and am trying to generate a report to XML. Among the data is a clob field. Everything else looks fine except the clob, which is gibberish. The same gibberish is repeated for every row of data.
Has anyone else encountered this?? Is it a bug?? Is there a setting I can change?? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Need help for SQL SELECT query to fetch XML records from Oracle tables having CLOB field

Hello,
I have a scenario wherein i need to fetch records from several oracle tables having CLOB fields(which is holding XML) and then merge them logically to form a hierarchy XML. All these tables are related with PK-FK relationship. This XML hierarchy is having 'OP' as top-most root node and ‘DE’ as it’s bottom-most node with One-To-Many relationship. Hence, Each OP can have multiple GM, Each GM can have multiple DM and so on.
Table structures are mentioned below:
OP:
Name                             Null                    Type
OP_NBR                    NOT NULL      NUMBER(4)    (Primary Key)
OP_DESC                                        VARCHAR2(50)
OP_PAYLOD_XML                           CLOB
GM:
Name                          Null                   Type
GM_NBR                  NOT NULL       NUMBER(4)    (Primary Key)

I am using above SQL select statement for fetching the XML records and this gives me all related xmls for each entity in a single record(OP, GM, DM. DE). Output of this SQL query is as below:
Current O/P:
<resultSet>
     <Record1>

          <DE_PAYLOD_XML1>
     </Record1>
     <Record2>
          <OP_PAYLOD_XML2>
          <GM_PAYLOD_XML2>
          <DM_PAYLOD_XML2>
          <DE_PAYLOD_XML2>

          <DM_PAYLOD_XMLN>
          <DE_PAYLOD_XMLN>
     </RecordN>
</resultSet>
Now i want to change my SQL query so that i get following output structure:
<resultSet>
     <Record>
          <OP_PAYLOD_XML1>
          <GM_PAYLOD_XML1>

          <DM_PAYLOD_XML1>
          <DM_PAYLOD_XML2> .......
          <DM_PAYLOD_XMLN>
          <DE_PAYLOD_XML1>
          <DE_PAYLOD_XML2> .......
          <DE_PAYLOD_XMLN>
     </Record>
     <Record>
          <OP_PAYLOD_XML2>
          <GM_PAYLOD_XML1'>
          <GM_PAYLOD_XML2'> .......
          <GM_PAYLOD_XMLN'>
          <DM_PAYLOD_XML1'>
          <DM_PAYLOD_XML2'> .......
          <DM_PAYLOD_XMLN'>

          <DE_PAYLOD_XML2'> .......
          <DE_PAYLOD_XMLN'>
     </Record>
<resultSet>
Appreciate your help in this regard!

Hi,
A few questions :
How's your first query supposed to give you an XML output like you show ?
Is there something you're not telling us?
What's the content of, for example, <OP_PAYLOD_XML1> ?
I don't think it's a good idea to embed the node level in the tag name, it would make much sense to expose that as an attribute.
What's the db version BTW?

Parsing text from CLOB field that's stored as XML

I have a CLOB field that contains an XML string. That looks like the text below. Is it possible to parse out the text string Denied NOW!!!. I basically want to parse out the data between the first encounter of the <CommentBody> tag.
<CommentHeader>Whatever<CommentDate>2010-01-21-15.16.48.000000
</CommentDate></CommentHeader><CommentBody>Denied NOW!!!</CommentBody>
<CommentHeader>Whatever<CommentDate>2010-01-21-15.10.38.000000
</CommentDate></CommentHeader><CommentBody>Denied YESTERDAY!!!</CommentBody>
Thanks all!!
Edited by: user11938977 on Jun 28, 2010 11:32 AM

Thanks everyone! I'm using Oracle 11.1.0.7.0
It seems to work as long as the Text Contents of CommentBody tag is one word without spaces. If there are spaces in between the tags it errors out. Here's the SQL:
SELECT extractvalue( xmltype('<root>'||t.comments||'</root>'),
'root/CommentBody[1]' ) as "CommentBody"
FROM AP_VCHR_AW t
When COMMENTS contains this data it errors out:
<CommentHeader> <CommentDate>2010-03-04-17.52.53.000000
</CommentDate></CommentHeader><CommentBody>This is an approved vuocher</CommentBody>
<CommentHeader> <CommentDate>2010-03-04-17.52.53.000000
</CommentDate></CommentHeader><CommentBody>This is an approved vuocher</CommentBody>
When COMMENTS contains this data the SQL succeeds:
<CommentHeader>at <CommentDate>2010-01-21-15.16.48.000000
</CommentDate></CommentHeader><CommentBody>Denied!!!</CommentBody>
<CommentHeader> at <CommentDate>2010-01-21-15.10.38.000000
</CommentDate></CommentHeader><CommentBody>Denied!!!</CommentBody>

Getting all occurrences from a clob field

I created a clob field to store an XML document. I have tried the SUBSTR, INSTR, REGEXP_SUBSTR, DBMS_LOB.INSTR functions to extract all occurrence of the XML tab <systemLink>.
I just get 1 occurrence of the XML tag.
Has anyone done this before.
Thanks.

All occurrences in a single row
select extract(xmltype(your_clob_field),'//systemLink')
from dualOr all occurrences in distinct rows
select *
from TABLE (XMLSEQUENCE (EXTRACT (XMLTYPE (your_clob_field), '//systemLink'))) ; Max

Generating XML from relational tables and storing back in CLOB field

I have been reviewing the documentation and trying to figure out the best approach. I am on v 10.2.0.3 and need to select from a parent table and three child tables and want to generate the results as xml that I will place in a clob field in another table. I looked at XMLQuery and dbms_xmlgen.getxml. The difference appears to be that getxml allows you to code traditional sql to join the tables.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could provide some feedback and any sample code along the line that I describe above.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Any feedback to the above questions would be greatly appreciated!

How do I fill by chunks a clob inside a table while XML is generated?

Hello everybody:
Needed to generate a single XML file from around 50 million rows, where the XML ouput matches not only row data but another default values for another elements and attributes (not from database but using strings and types with default values). Its generation will be a monthly task, so the process will repeat time by time. For generating that document, currently focus is based on using a batch process relying on Spring Batch, by using a single JDBC query where a join happens between a table and a materialized view (Both are datawarehouses, so it is not expected a change onto the data, and are single, non-partitioned tables). From my point of view, that approach uses: database resources, network resources, disk resources, and processing resources, including the price of making the join, sending to network, creating objects, validating, and making the file, finally wasting too much time generating that XML file. Promisse above that approach is to restart from the last execution point (savepoints) and to process by chunks of data (ResultSets). That processs currently is in development.
Seen Oracle has XML capabilites, another approach may be delegating the complete generation of that file to the database (Current version in use here is 10g release 2). My current approach is to generate a clob where I will put all the XML throughput and putting it inside a table (My first approach was to put directly into a disk file, unfortunately, isn't possible because internal policies). Considering limitations on memory, processing and disk space, needed to append a single row-as-xml to the clob as soon as it is rendered, and putting the clob inside the field as soon as possible, or putting the clob inside the field, and appending into it as the data is generated (preffered approach); also, considering its a very large operation, needed to make savepoints for each chunk of data processed (each 20,000 rows, as example). Some way I think it may be done is making a temporary clob, filling the clob while getting the rowid, using that rowid as savepoint (No other CRUD operations awaited for the table and the materialized view), and later appending the clob to the clob(s) in table (is there some way for append one clob to another one in table?). Explained all those points, how do I manage the process in order to achieve that goals, using a PL/SQL stored procedure while using built-in functions?.
Update: I did a small pseudocode where I describe my current approach:
Defining a cursor;
Creating a segment clob;
Creating a temporary clob;
Defining a chunk size;
Defining a temp rowid variable;
Defining a control number to be 0;
While cursor
     getting rowid and generating next row as xml into a temporary clob (XMLSerialize):
     increment the control number;
     if control number equals 1
write rowid variable to a control table;
     append the temporary clob to a segment clob;
     if control number is equals than the chunk size defined:
          append the segment clob to the clob inside a control table;
          restart the control number to be 0;
     else
          continue;
At this time, I'm with doubt about how to append the segment clob directly to the clob inside the control table (I find using that clob as PL/SQL variable would use too much memory and swap).
Any help shall be apreciated. Thanks in advance.

Well, of course it's looping. That's what the "while" statement does. What you need is more like this:
if (tableNumberJTextField.getText().equals("")){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Table Number cannot be empty","Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
tableNumberJTextField.requestFocusInWindow();
}and you want this code to be called every time tableNumberJTextField loses focus.

Export XML data from a CLOB field using sql developer

I have a table that contains a CLOB field, each record is a complete XML in itself. After running the select query i am exporting this data by right clicking on the answer set, while the export completes the data for each record gets truncated.
When i chose to save the export in loader format i get the complete records but now there are n files created for n records exported.
Is there a way i can get alll the records in a single file wirthout any truncation.
Thanks in advance!

You might try delimited format or csv, with no enclosures if desired.

Parsing xml in clob field remove non utf-8 characters

hi all,
i have an issue where a stored procedure runs during a nightly process and parses xml contained in a clob field. There are some records that contain non-utf8(they paste characters from word)characters and therefore the parse fails when using performing an xquery select against the clob field as xmltype. I was wondering if anyone knew of a handy way to handle such a situation? I have looked around a bit and not found anything that seemed tailored to my situation, and I would like something a bit more generic than doing a replace on individual characters that i have found causing issues...thx in advance! -- jp

Hi,
Like BluShadow I'm curious to see a test case...
Depending on the way it's been created, the encoding declared in the XML prolog doesn't necessarily reflects the actual encoding of the content.
What's your database character set, and version?
Please also post the error message you get (LPX-00200 probably?).

"Adobe CFC Generator" error "cannot find ide_config.xml file"

Hi there
Yesterday I downloaded a CF Builder 2 Trial. I install in my machine I am running CF 9.01 Dev version.
When I try install "Adobe CFC Generator" extension "cannot find ide_config.xml file"
I try to find some fix. but I can't.
Some Ideas thank you!!

With ColdFusion Builder 2, CFC Generator was intended to be removed.However mistakenly, CFC Generator was removed only partially.
If you want to use:
Plesae download it from: http://adobecfcgenerator.riaforge.org/
Or If you have ColdFusion Builder 1 or ColdFusion Builder 2 Beta installation:
You can take it from <ColdFusion Builder 1 or ColdFusion Builder 2 Beta Install Dir>\extensions and deploy it to your server instead of using the incorrectl installed CFC Generator.
Thanks,

Cannot generate XML for the List of Values (UX 00072)

Hi,
I had issues with a .LOV file associated with an object.
Cannot generate XML for the List of Values (UX 00072)
[LOV Name] This LOV contains data that does not originate from Corporate Data.
The object maps to data in a table of the DB that will be populated in the future. The LOV file is "empty", but I have to pass the universe into production waiting for the data.
This error doesn't permit me to go from Development to Prod.

You need to set the display-property="<<Your name property>>" in item-descriptor tag.
e.g. <item-descriptor name="myItem" display-property="name" />
