Copy table xmltype column

A collegue just asked me the following:
He wants to copy data from one database table to the same table on another database. The table has a XMLTYPE column. Is there a way other than export/import to copy the table to a file including XML-Values and Insert from the file to the target table?
Export/Import seems the correct approach to me, however he doesn't have neccessary rights to do so. Do you know any easy other way?

Why not use a DB link?
XMLTypes can be copied through DB links:
SQL> create table t as select * from t@dev1;
Table created.
SQL> select table_name, column_name, data_type from user_tab_cols where table_name = 'T';
TABLE_NAME                     COLUMN_NAME                    DATA_TYPE
T                              X                              XMLTYPE
T                              SYS_NC00002$                   CLOB

  • Xmltype column design

    hi all,
    i've recently implementing a project which need to stored hierarchical data. since relational db alone can only offer flatfile and implementing hierarchical data using realtional table with design structure such as
    1. MPTT(Modified Preorder Tree Traversal)
    2. Adjacency List
    3. Recursion
    has a lot of drawback ESPECIALLY on searching/traversing to find parent nodes. so i decided to try using oracle xmldb since xml is by nature hierarchical. so i came out with a design by using relational table + xmltype column. what i did is for eg. a customer table
    create table customer(
    id varchar2(32),
    name varchar2(50),
    balance number,
    xmltype
    the xmltype is stored as schema enabled not Clob. the schema is defined where the customer node will have unlimited nesting with each other.
    where the xmltype column is to stored the position/path of this customers within xml tree.
    eg. This customer id is 3 and the path is stored as below
    <root>
    <customer id="1">
    <customer id="2">
    <customer id="3"/>
    </customer>
    </customer>
    </root>
    the path will have a root node element and nested all the way until this customers. so in short i will be able to select this customer using Xpath, by traversing up by grabbing all the parents, getting all the child of this customer and getting the sibling as well.
    the operation on this row record will involved with updating or querying(mostly) the xmltree inside this column.
    so, my question is, based on this design:
    1. is this design relevent? compared to just used MPTT(Modified Preorder Tree Traversal), Adjacency List & Recursion?
    2. which isolation level should i use if there's an event that this customer's path will be updated/or the parent nodes need to be updated?
    i'm not very sure about this design yet, so any recommendations or advise on this?
    Thanks & Regards,
    wesley

    You will need to create a custom BC4J domain object as a java type for XMLType and then implement the necessary fetch and update semantics. There is no built in support in BC4J framework for this type at this time.

  • ORA-07445 in the alert log when inserting into table with XMLType column

    I'm trying to insert an xml-document into a table with a schema-based XMLType column. When I try to insert a row (using plsql-developer) - oracle is busy for a few seconds and then the connection to oracle is lost.
    Below you''ll find the following to recreate the problem:
    a) contents from the alert log
    b) create script for the table
    c) the before-insert trigger
    d) the xml-schema
    e) code for registering the schema
    f) the test program
    g) platform information

  • Find size of table with XMLTYPE column STORE AS BINARY XML

    Hi,
    I have a table with structure as:
    CREATE TABLE XML_TABLE_1
    ID NUMBER NOT NULL,
    SOURCE VARCHAR2(255 CHAR) NOT NULL,
    XML_TEXT SYS.XMLTYPE,
    CREATION_DATE TIMESTAMP(6) NOT NULL
    XMLTYPE XML_TEXT STORE AS BINARY XML (
    TABLESPACE Tablespace1_LOB
    DISABLE STORAGE IN ROW
    CHUNK 16384
    RETENTION
    CACHE READS
    NOLOGGING)
    ALLOW NONSCHEMA
    DISALLOW ANYSCHEMA
    TABLESPACE Tablespace2_DATA
    - So HOW do I find the total size occupied by this table. Does BINARY storage work as LOB storage. i.e. I need to consider USER_LOBS as well for this.
    OR foll. will work
    select segment_name as tablename, sum(bytes/ (1024 * 1024 * 1024 )) as tablesize_in_GB
    From dba_segments
    where segment_name = 'XML_TABLE_1'
    and OWNER = 'SCHEMANAME'
    group by segment_name ;
    - Also if I am copying it to another table of same structure as:
    Insert /*+ append */ into XML_TABLE_2 Select * from XML_TABLE_1.
    Then how much space in ROllbackSegment do I need. Is it equal to the size of the table XML_TABLE_1?
    Thanks..

    I think foll query calculates it right while including the LOB storage as:
    SELECT SUM(bytes)/1024/1024/1024 gb
    FROM dba_segments
    WHERE (owner = 'SCHEMA_NAME' and
    segment_name = 'TABLE_NAME')
    OR (owner, segment_name) IN (
    SELECT owner, segment_name
    FROM dba_lobs
    WHERE owner = 'SCHEMA_NAME'
    AND table_name = 'TABLE_NAME')
    It's 80 GB for our Table with XMLType Column.
    But for the second point:
    Do we need 80GB of UNDO/ROLLBACK Segment for performing:
    Insert /*+ append */ into TableName1 Select * from TableName;
    Thanks..

    I'm trying to find rows in the database that are /Envelope/Header/MessageHeader/UserSession/LogonId/R099999.
    Thanks for the assistance. I'm new to XML DB. I appreciate the help.
    Eric

    Hi Eric,
    You can use XMLExists, like this :
    select *
    from message t
    where xmlexists(
          'declare namespace env = "http://www.co.com/schemas/cfg-env/"; (: :)
           declare namespace hdr = "http://www.co.com/schemas/cfg-hdr/"; (: :)
           /env:Envelope/env:Header/hdr:MessageHeader/hdr:UserSession[hdr:LogonId=$id]'
           passing t.message_content_txt
                 , 'R099999' as "id"
    );

  • Issues with using XMLType indexes against a table with XMLType column

    I am attempting to use an XMLIndex with a Structured Component and not having too much luck. Not much data in metalink nor is the documentation very helpful:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e10492/xdb_indexing.htm#BCGHGIGC
    The table DDL is as follows:
    CREATE TABLE ECI_SCHEMA.REV_ITEM_EARN_DTL_VIRTUAL(
    REV_ITEM_EARN_DTL_ID_NBR NUMBER(16,0) NOT NULL,
    UNIQ_MSG_ID_NBR VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL,
    REV_ITEM_BILL_DTL_ID_NBR NUMBER(16,0),
    PLAN_RACN_NBR NUMBER(10,0) NOT NULL,
    INV_DTL_IMG SYS.XMLType NOT NULL,
    NON_INV_DTL_IMG BLOB NOT NULL,
    PART_KEY_CD GENERATED ALWAYS AS (MOD(PLAN_RACN_NBR,5)) VIRTUAL,
    LAST_UPDT_TMSTP TIMESTAMP(6) NOT NULL,
    INV_ID_NBR NUMBER(16,0),
    ITEM_STATUS_CD VARCHAR2(1) DEFAULT 'A' NOT NULL
    LOB (NON_INV_DTL_IMG) STORE AS NON_IDI_LOB (CHUNK 8192 PCTVERSION 10 CACHE)
    TABLESPACE ECI_DATA
    PARTITION BY RANGE (PART_KEY_CD)
    PARTITION RIED_DAY0_PART
    VALUES LESS THAN (1)
    TABLESPACE ECI_DATA
    PARTITION RIED_DAY1_PART
    VALUES LESS THAN (2)
    TABLESPACE ECI_DATA
    PARTITION RIED_DAY2_PART
    VALUES LESS THAN (3)
    TABLESPACE ECI_DATA
    PARTITION RIED_DAY3_PART
    VALUES LESS THAN (4)
    TABLESPACE ECI_DATA
    PARTITION RIED_MAXVAL_PART
    VALUES LESS THAN (MAXVALUE)
    TABLESPACE ECI_DATA
    XMLTYPE COLUMN "INV_DTL_IMG" STORE AS OBJECT RELATIONAL
    XMLSCHEMA "someXdbDocument.xsd"
    ELEMENT "revenueInvoice"
    According to the documentation, I should be able to create a structured XMLIndex on the XMLType column with the following syntax:
    SQL> create index eci_schema.rev_item_earn_dtl_virt_xmlix on eci_schema.rev_item_earn_dtl_virtual
    2 (INV_DTL_IMG)
    3 INDEXTYPE IS XDB.XMLIndex
    4 parameters ('PATH TABLE RIED_PATH_TABLE')
    5 local;
    When I do this, I get the following error:
    create index eci_schema.rev_item_earn_dtl_virt_xmlix on eci_schema.rev_item_earn_dtl_virtual
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-29958: fatal error occurred in the execution of ODCIINDEXCREATE routine
    ORA-30959: The indexed column is not stored in CLOB.
    What am I doing wrong? Based on the Oracle documentation, I was under the impression that 11.2 XMLIndex would work with Object Relational storage. Is this not the case?

    CREATE INDEX ECI_SCHEMA.REV_ITEM_EARN_DTL_IX7
           ON ECI_SCHEMA.REV_ITEM_EARN_DTL
                      extractValue(inv_dtl_img, '/revenueInvoice/service/transportation/mstrTrkngNbr')
    TABLESPACE ECI_REV_ITEM_EARN_DTL_IX7_ITS
    LOGGING
    PARALLEL(DEGREE 8 INSTANCES 1)
    LOCAL
    /Elements that occur at most once in each document can be indexed using extractValue(). Despite the fact that the index appears to be a functional index, when we create the index we automatically re-write the create index into a normal btree index on the column that contains the value for the element identified by the xpath.
    Eg in the case of a functional index based on extractValue, defined on XMLType using Object relational storage, with an xpath that identifies a node that occurs at most once in each document is not a functional index, it's re-written into a plain old vanilla btree index. You can actually check this by looking in the system tables
    Eg
    SQL> connect system/oracle
    Connected.
    SQL> select table_name, index_name from all_indexes where owner = 'OE' and table_name = 'PURCHASEORDER';
    TABLE_NAME                     INDEX_NAME
    PURCHASEORDER                  LINEITEM_TABLE_MEMBERS
    PURCHASEORDER                  ACTION_TABLE_MEMBERS
    PURCHASEORDER                  SYS_C0011037
    SQL> alter session set current_schema = OE
      2  /
    Session altered.
    SQL> create unique index PO_REF_INDEX on PURCHASEORDER (extractValue(object_value,'/PurchaseOrder/Reference'));
    Index created.
    SQL> set lines 250
    SQL> select index_name, index_type from all_indexes where owner = 'OE' and table_name = 'PURCHASEORDER';
    INDEX_NAME                     INDEX_TYPE
    PO_REF_INDEX                   NORMAL
    LINEITEM_TABLE_MEMBERS         NORMAL
    ACTION_TABLE_MEMBERS           NORMAL
    SYS_C0011037                   NORMAL
    SQL> select * from dba_ind_expressions where table_name = 'PURCHASEORDER' and index_owner = 'OE'
      2  /
    no rows selectedFrom the above we can see that the index created on extractValue has been re-written in a plain old vanilla BTREE index, and there is no definition for it in dba_ind_expressions So assuming you were able to create the index and insert the data you should find that your index is not a functional index.

  • Insert performance on a table with schema based XMLType column

    Hi,
    We are inserting around 500K rows into a table which has one XMLType column (schema based). Schema is simple and the size of the XMLType column is also not very large (on an average only around 100 bytes (max might be around 1k-2k), but it takes around 1 hr for every 20K rows, which seems very slow.
    The schema is like this :
    <schema targetNamespace="http://www.citadon.com/xml/test.xsd"
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    xmlns:xdb="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb"
    xdb:storeVarrayAsTable="true"
    version="1.0" elementFormDefault="qualified">
    <element name="cas">
    <complexType>
    <sequence>
    <element name="ca" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
    <complexType>
    <sequence>
    <element name="id" type="string"/>
    <element name="value" type="string"/>
    </sequence>
    </complexType>
    </element>
    </sequence>
    </complexType>
    </element>
    </schema>
    Any thoughts on how to improve performance?

    You need to have sufficient data.. Also the event show in the following code may help depending on the nature of the query....
    Note in the PurchaseOrder Example if I only have 133 docs, instead of 10,000 I will get tablescan and index full scans

  • Problems sorting larger sets of XMLType columns/tables

    Hi,
    Here's something I tried to wrap my head around:
    I'm using Oracle 11g r1 for Windows Server 2003.
    I've imported a fairly large set of XML files into a temporary XMLType table. Now
    I want to sort the contents of the table and put them into another table which
    uses a sequence to get primary keys (would be a longer story to explain, basically
    sorting by this non-XML primary key is super-fast as opposed to everything else
    I've tried, plus I need something unique):
    INSERT INTO realtable SELECT 0, object_value
    FROM tmptable ORDER BY extractValue(object_value, '/some/*/field');It works fine for a very small number of rows but when I tried with about 30000 rows,
    still not too much, two kinds of things can happen. Either, Oracle gobbles up a huge amount
    of memory (>1,5GB) until the statement breaks:
    ORA-04030: Zu wenig Prozessspeicher fⁿr Versuch 33292 Bytes zuzuweisen
    (callheap,kllcqgf:kllsltba)Or I get something like this:
    ORA-00600: Interner Fehlercode, Argumente: [kqludp2], [0x1F31EC94], [0], [], [], [], [], []I haven't wasted too much time looking into this. I tried storage options clob and binary xml
    for tmptable. Clob seems to induce the latter problem and binary xml the former but I haven't
    made further experiments.
    I can create a workaround from outside Oracle I think, so it's not serious however I'd would
    be interesting to know what happened or if there is a better way to do this.
    Thanks!

    Unfortunately, the problems are not reproducible in a meaningful way. All I can say is that once a statement will result in a kqludp2, it will always fail with the exactly same error message until I reinstall the database from scratch. On the other
    side, when I found a configuration that works, I could delete and rebuild/refill a table multiple times without the thing ever breaking.
    As the most recent example, after the latest trouble I deleted the database and changed my DDL scripts to the last configuration I wanted to try and broke the last time (several tables with two normal columns and an XMLType column each), everything worked like a breeze.
    I can file a TAR when I get a support ID from my employer, however I installed the database on a virtual machine (I should have mentioned that earlier) and Oracle doesn't officially support that configuration from what I know so I'll doubt they'll do anything about it. I've procured a physical computer now and try to reproduce any of the problems when I get to it.

  • Correct way to handle updates of XMLtype columns in standard tables.

    Hello to whoever may read this,
    I am currently studying the XML functionality of oracle DB for a uni project.
    We have been asked to compare/contrast solutions to publishing product and price data for data stored in standard relational tables, and data stored in XML type tables. For extra marks, i am looking at a table containing an XMLType column for multiple items of data relating to the primarykey.
    I have managed to get my head around publishing the data - pretty straight forward, but we have also been asked to show how we can update data, which isn't a problem within the standard tables/columns, but when it comes to the XMLType columns/tables, i dont have a clue.
    At the moment i am working on trying to update an XMLtype column. The table itself is a "product" table, and contains product information, as well as an XMLType column containing multiple changes to the prices. In the relational tables, this "product" table has a one-to-many link to another table called price_history which contains details about past prices (which is populated by a trigger on update/insert of a new price). But in this table all the product changes are stored in XML format in the XML type column "prices".
    Table columns: id number(4), name varchar2(25), prices xmltype;
    example data: 1781, CDW 20/48/E, <product_prices><price_change>
    <change_id>1</change_id>
    <date_changed>2009-10-13</date_changed>
    <details>price increased</details>
    <new_value>234</new_value>
    </price_change>
    <price_change>
    <change_id>2</change_id>
    <date_changed>2009-10-13</date_changed>
    <details>price increased</details>
    <new_value>235</new_value>
    </price_change></product_prices>
    We need to give examples of an update. I have been looking around the net, and these forums for a solution now for about 4 hours. My own thoughts are that to update this with a new price change i need to, SELECT the current data INTO a variable, then concatenate that variable with the new price change info e.g.
    <price_change>
    <change_id>3</change_id>
    <date_changed>2009-10-13</date_changed>
    <details>price decreased</details>
    <new_value>230</new_value>
    </price_change>
    then insert that whole chunk of data again to overwrite the old data.
    Now im fairly certain there is some function somewhere which will allow me to do this update/insert operation without going through this process... After i am done with this update of XMLType column data, i need to tackle updating data in an XMLType Table with XQuery(? apparently), so if you have any pointers for that please let me know.
    Could one of you experts point me in the right direction for this? Any advice at this stage is a great help and will stop me losing my mind.
    p.s. im sorry about the lengthy description of the problem/solution required. How to describle something i dont understand? I ask myself.

    Hi,
    You really need to take a look at the XMLDB Developers guide.
    For updating XML with SQL/XML see UPDATEXML and for XQuery see [Using XQuery with Oracle XMLDB|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14259/xdb_xquery.htm#sthref1673]
    HTH,

    final DirectToXMLTypeMapping mapping = new DirectToXMLTypeMapping();
    descriptor.removeMappingForAttributeName("message");
    // name of the attribute
    mapping.setAttributeName("message");
    // IntegrityChecker requires uppercase for oracle
    // name of the column
    mapping.setFieldName("MESSAGE");
    descriptor.addMapping(mapping);
    @Entity(name = "XmlMessage")
    @Table(name = "XML_MSG")
    @Customizer(XmlMessageCustomizer.class)
    public class XmlMessage {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    @Column(name = "ID")
    private long id;
    // @Column(columnDefinition = "XMLTYPE")
    // private String message;
    // ALTER TABLE XML_SYS_MSG drop column message;
    // ALTER TABLE XML_SYS_MSG add (message XMLType);
    private Document message;
    public XmlMessage() {
    public long getId() {
    return id;
    public void setId(final long id) {
    this.id = id;
    public Document getMessage() {
    return message;
    public void setMessage(final Document message) {
    this.message = message;
    Secondly if I turn on the IntegrityChecker it will fail
    public class EnableIntegrityChecker implements SessionCustomizer {
    @Override
    public void customize(final Session session) throws Exception {
    session.getIntegrityChecker().checkDatabase();
    session.getIntegrityChecker().setShouldCatchExceptions(false);
    }

    Adding:
         mapping.getField().setColumnDefinition("XMLTYPE");to the customizer should solve the problem.

  • Issue with extractvalue from table with XMLTYPE column.

    I'm sure there is a simple answer but I am having problems
    retrieving data from an xmltype column type.
    I have two tables
    descr dab_xmlName
    TABLE of XMLTYPE
    descr dab_testName
    A NUMBER
    AB NUMBER
    DATA CLOB
    DATA2 VARCHAR2(1600)
    MYXML XMLTYPE
    I have inserted the Oracle example XML purchaseOrder.xml into both dab_xml
    and the myxml column in dab_test.
    When I run the following:
    SELECT extractvalue(OBJECT_VALUE, '/PurchaseOrder/Reference')
    FROM dab_xml;
    SBELL-2002100912333601PDT is returned
    When I run this:
    SELECT extractvalue(OBJECT_VALUE, '/PurchaseOrder/Reference')
    FROM (select myxml from dab_test);
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00904: "OBJECT_VALUE": invalid identifier
    Why are the two different?
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Regards,
    David

    In short you want
    SELECT extractvalue(myxml, '/PurchaseOrder/Reference')
    FROM dab_test;This difference is that for dab_xml, there are no columns defined for the table, therefore you are [OBJECT_VALUE|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/pseudocolumns006.htm#sthref830] as an alias for a non existent column.
    With dab_test, you have a column that contains the XML so you need to use that column name instead of OBJECT_VALUE.

  • Problem deleting from table with xmltype column

    Hi,
    Using a standard, simple screen (generated from JHeadstart), I don't seem to be able to delete from a table including an xmltype column. I have tried it even with a very simple mock table with only one column, an xmltype column, and every time I check the "delete" box and click "save", I get the following error:
    oracle.jbo.RowInconsistentException: JBO-25014: Another user has changed the row with primary key oracle.jbo.Key[33 ].
    I have tried this in the JDeveloper application module tester too and the result is the same.
    Is it possible to delete a row from a table with an xmltype column? Am I doing something wrong? Is there something special needs done?
    As I say, I did this with a one-xmltype-column table using the "Business Components from Tables" wizard, accepting all the defaults.
    Thanks,
    Darren

  • ORA-00904 on create table with xmltype column

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a table with syntax
    CREATE TABLE ss_test(docid integer primary key, content varchar2(4000),acl XMLType)
    XMLType column acl store as object relational
    XMLSchema "acl.xsd" element "acl"
    varray xmldata."ace" store as table ace_tab;
    and getting ORA-00904.
    acl.xsd is registered as

    Hmmmm ... I don't know if I should smile or frown with the implication that I am an OO guy :D :D
    Most of my colleagues when I started working as a software engineer, treated me as too low-level because of my C background (started doing C in 1985).
    In my last job, my colleagues hated my guts because I was asking them to squeeze every bit of performance out of C++ by using STL which is definitely not OO (although C++ is).
    My current colleagues treat me as a DB guru (which I most definitely am not) and they overlook/forget the fact that most of them use Java libraries in their projects, that I wrote for them !
    I am inclined to believe that I do not fall into any category in the end...
    The only thing I am for sure - and I am proud of it - is inquisitive. I want to know everything there is about the tools I use, and so I end up spending hours and hours investigating... (Microsoft found that out the hard way when I filed 16 bug reports in 8 days when Visual C++ 6 came out ! Not that it hurt them though...)
    This is where my confession ends (and my working on the XML validator starts...)

    PS: I did not follow the last solution anyway. I just wanted to verify its operability ;)

  • Query slow in table having XMLTYPE column

    Hi,
    I've a table and a XMLTYPE column in it.
    table:
    a number
    b xmltype
    now when 1000 records are present and I do a select * form table it runs for 5-8 mins..
    if i put an index on a and do teh query using the index still it takes 5-6 secs to retrieve a single query.
    Is it normal ? I mean to say is it because of the clob it's taking time or I can tune it ?
    Thanks,
    Arun

    What sort of query are you running on it?
    As a rule, XMLTYPE and CLOB columns tend to be big. On the other hand they would normally be stored out of line, so I don't see why they should affect a full table scan.
    As is the usual case with performance questions, you must provide sufficient information for us to answer your question.

  • Copying Long Raw Column Data to another table

    hi everyone,
    i am trying to Copy Long Raw Column Data to another table in the same schema. this is the situation
    Table A (col1 number,col2 long raw) with 100 records
    Table B (col1 number,col2 long raw) with 0 records
    now i want to copy col2 of the table A into the column 2 of the table B. but long raw data cant be retrieved in a select statement so is there any specific procedure that will copy long raw data or there is any simple way.
    i will be really grateful for anybody's help.
    thanx
    shakeel

    Dust off that old SQL*PLUS command "COPY" ...
    create table tablea (col1 number,col2 long raw)
    insert into tablea values (1, testrawio.chartoraw('this is line one'));
    insert into tablea values (2, testrawio.chartoraw('this is line two'));
    insert into tablea values (3, testrawio.chartoraw('this is line three'));
    create table tableb (col1 number,col2 long raw)
    copy from scott/tiger@larry insert tableb (col1, col2) using select col1, col2 from tablea
    Array fetch/bind size is 15. (arraysize is 15)
    Will commit when done. (copycommit is 0)
    Maximum long size is 80. (long is 80)
       3 rows selected from scott@tiger.
       3 rows inserted into TABLEB.
       3 rows committed into TABLEB at DEFAULT HOST connection.
    SQL>Now to prove it has worked :
    begin
       for lr in (select col1, col2 from tableb)
       loop
          dbms_output.put_line('col1 = '||lr.col1||
                               ' and col2 contains long raw equivalent of '||testrawio.rawtochar(lr.col2));
       end loop;
    end;
    col1 = 1 and col2 contains long raw equivalent of this is line one
    col1 = 2 and col2 contains long raw equivalent of this is line two
    col1 = 3 and col2 contains long raw equivalent of this is line three
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    SQL> Note : In order to load some test data and prove the method works I made use of a package called "testrawio" located at http://www.classicity.com/oracle/htdocs/forums/ClsyForumID125/7.html
