Create XML from oracle table if not null

Hello dear community,
I have a problem by creating an XML file in oracle and hope you could help me.
What I have is an table named "description" with three rows there:
person varchar2(50)
adress varchar2(50)
Nr number
Reading this table I am going to create an XML file like that:
Procedure Create_XML (iNr IN number, cXmlFile OUT clob) is
varPerson varchar2(50);
varAdress varchar2(50);
Begin
varPerson := ... ;
varAdress := ... ;
select
xmlserialize
content
xmlelement
"Head",
xmlelement
"Node",
xmlelement
"Line",
xmlelement("ATNAM", 'PERSON'),
xmlelement("ATWRT", PERSON),
xmlelement("ATFOR", varPerson)
xmlelement
"Line",
xmlelement("ATNAM", 'ADRESS'),
xmlelement("ATWRT", ADRESS),
xmlelement("ATFOR", varAdress)
indent
) as xml
into cXmlFile
from description
where Nr = iNr;
End Create_XML;
What I want to do, is just to take the value from the both rows "person" and "adress" and fill the xml file with additional info.
1. My first question is, if it is possible to create any kind of routine for the xmlelement "Line" instead of doing it all over and over again? How?
2. An other issue is very important to me: how can I check here if f.i. the row person is empty or not? If it is, the xmlelement "Line" with person information in it should not be created at all.
Any answer would really help me!
Thank you a lot in advance!

Hi,
Could you elaborate a little on your first question?
Are you looking for something like :
SELECT xmlquery(
'<head>
  <node>
   for $i in ora:view("DESCRIPTION")/ROW[NR=$nr]/*[local-name()!="NR"]
   return element Line {
    element ATNAM {local-name($i)},
    element ATWRT {$i/text()}
  </node>
</head>'
passing sys_xmlgen(1) as "nr"
returning content
FROM dual;but since you use a specific variable for each "line" type, I don't see how we can generalize the construction of the line element.

  • Creating XML from Oracle Tables

    Would it be possible to post me a snapshot of the ODI Flow diagram for an Oracle to XML conversion? Does the staging area have to be on the Target (XML)? What KMs & CM should be used? Can the XML be written straight back to an .xml file? What should the XML Schema look like?
    These are the KMs I use: LKM-SQL to SQL; IKM-SQL Incremental Update; CKM-SQL.
    My flow is straight from source (oracle) to target (xml), with staging area on target (doesn't feel right).
    My Oracle Dataserver & Schema work fine. Not sure about the XML dataserver setup though - I think this is where the problem lies. These are my JDBC settings:
    - com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.xml.SnpsXmlDriver
    - jdbc:snps:xml?f=E:\Oracle ODI\Member.xsd
    I am evaluating ODI for a client and I wanted to throw together a quick demo showing how easily ODI can generate XML from any source. I know this is the case as I understand the concept of ODI's components - just haven't had time to read manuals thoroughly.
    Many thanks for your help,
    Steve

    Hello,
    1. Try to test the connection to the XML dataserver.
    2. Create a model and reverse-engineer this dataserver. You'll see what the XML structure is mapped to immediately.
    3. Integrate data to this model (using standard KM targeting "SQL").
    You can put the staging area on the Oracle source or in the XML driver if you want. Both solutions will work.
    just haven't had time to read manuals thoroughly.I think you should quickly read the "Sunopsis ODI with... XML" section in the manual.
    It is not very long and very helpful. Have also a quick look at the XML driver documentation.

  • How to create XML from relational tables based on an XML Schema ?

    There is no automated way in Oracle XML DB to define an automatic mapping between a set of columns in some existing relational tables and the elements and attributres defined by an XML Schema.
    However it is easy solve this problem by using the SQL/XML operators (XMLAGG, XMLELEMENT, XMLFOREST, XMLATTRIBUTES, etc) to generate XML documents that are compliant with an XML Schema directly from a SQL statement.
    If the XML Schema is registered with Oracle XML DB and the appropraite Schema Location information is added into the generated document using XMLAttributes then it becomes very easy to ensure that the generated documents are valid.
    The following example show an easy way to do this by creating an XML View that contains the documents to be validated.

    There is no automated way in Oracle XML DB to define an automatic mapping between a set of columns in some existing relational tables and the elements and attributres defined by an XML Schema.
    However it is easy solve this problem by using the SQL/XML operators (XMLAGG, XMLELEMENT, XMLFOREST, XMLATTRIBUTES, etc) to generate XML documents that are compliant with an XML Schema directly from a SQL statement.
    If the XML Schema is registered with Oracle XML DB and the appropraite Schema Location information is added into the generated document using XMLAttributes then it becomes very easy to ensure that the generated documents are valid.
    The following example show an easy way to do this by creating an XML View that contains the documents to be validated.

  • Creating XML from Relational Tables using java

    I would like to create an XML document by querying relational tables in java
    try {
            connection = getConnection();
            final String qryStr = "select XMLElement( foo, 'bar' ) from dual";
            final OracleXMLQuery qry = new OracleXMLQuery(connection, qryStr);
            final String xmlString = qry.getXMLString();
    I would expect this to give the following result that I get from running the statement in SQL Developer
    select XMLElement( foo, 'bar' ) from dual
    <FOO>bar</FOO>
    Instead I get
    <?xml version = '1.0'?>
    <ERROR>oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Character ')' is not allowed in an XML tag name.</ERROR>
    Is this the correct way to go about this?

    Is this the correct way to go about this?
    Not really.
    OracleXMLQuery class is the Java-side implementation of DBMS_XMLQUERY APIs.
    It's mostly designed to generate a canonical XML document out of a SQL query.
    Assuming a query like "SELECT col1, col2 FROM my_table", the resulting XML should appear like this :
    <ROWSET>
      <ROW>
        <COL1>123</COL1>
        <COL2>ABC</COL2>
      </ROW>
      <ROW>
        <COL1>456</COL1>
        <COL2>XYZ</COL2>
      </ROW>
    </ROWSET>
    So in your test, since the resulting column is not aliased (XMLElement), you're actually trying to generate something like this :
    <ROWSET>
      <ROW>
        <XMLELEMENT(FOO,'BAR')>
          <FOO>bar</FOO>
        </XMLELEMENT(FOO,'BAR')>
      </ROW>
    <ROWSET>
    which of course is invalid, hence the error message.
    If you want to generate only <FOO>bar</FOO> as output, just use a regular PreparedStatement with your query and access the document in the ResultSet with the proper getter.

  • Generate XML from Oracle Table Data

    Hi All,
    I am new to this network. I am also new to oracle XML package. I want a help for the below query.
    CREATE TABLE EMP(ID NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, NAME VARCHAR2(10), PHONE NUMBER);
    INSERT INTO EMP(ID,NAME,PHONE) VALUES (11,'Joy',1234);
    INSERT INTO EMP(ID,NAME,PHONE) VALUES (22,'Mike',5678);
    INSERT INTO EMP(ID,NAME,PHONE) VALUES (33,'Jason',NULL);
    COMMIT;
    I want to export the EMP table data in a XML file with the below format.
    Required Output:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><STATICDATA><EMP><ID>11</ID><NAME>Joy</NAME></EMP></STATICDATA>

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><STATICDATA><EMP><ID>33</ID><NAME>Jason</NAME></EMP></STATICDATA>
    I have used some XML functions and have written the below query.
    select XMLROOT(XMLELEMENT(staticdata,XMLELEMENT(EMP,XMLELEMENT(ID,ID),XMLELEMENT(NAME,NAME))), version '1.0" encoding="UTF-8') xml FROM EMP;

    But i want the out as the required output above. every record in a single line.Why?
    Some things output XML all as one stream, some things naturally display it structured. It doesn't matter as the XML is still the same because by it's very nature it is a structured data definition. Anything that reads XML will be able to read it whether it's on one line (streamed) or structured.
    also can i export all the columns of the table by some thing like select * from the table in XML file ?A couple of ways of exporting XML to a file...
    -- DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.clob2file
    -- outputs a clob to a file
    DECLARE
       ctx   DBMS_XMLGEN.ctxtype;

       ctx := DBMS_XMLGEN.newcontext ('select * from emp');
       DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.clob2file (DBMS_XMLGEN.getxml (ctx), 'TEMP', 'emp.xml');

    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    DBMS_XMLQUERY is a wrapper for methods from the Java class "oracle.xml.sql.query.OracleXMLStaticQuery".
    The problem is that Oracle 10g XE doesn't have a JVM, so you can't use this package.
    Use DBMS_XMLGEN instead, it provides similar functionalities and is more efficient (C-based) :

  • Namespaces when Composing XML from Reational Tables

    Hi,
    I am trying to create XML documents from Oracle tables that look like this (this is a very abbreviated version):
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <Document xmlns="urn:iso:std:etc:etc" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:iso:std:etc:etc.03 ZZZZZ6A.xsd">
    <Cstmr>
    <GrpHdr>
    <MsgId>1006</MsgId>
    <CreDtTm>2011-07-12T11:49:07.0Z</CreDtTm>
    <NbOfTxs>4624</NbOfTxs>
    <CtrlSum>1133772055</CtrlSum>
    </GrpHdr>
    </Cstmr>
    </Document>
    I have a SELECT statement that works successfully as follows:
    SELECT XMLElement(NOENTITYESCAPING "Document"
    ,XMLAttributes('urn:iso:std:iso:etc:etc' AS "xmlns"
    ,'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' AS "xmlns:xsi"
    ,'urn:iso:std:iso:etc:etc.03 ZZZZZ6A.xsd' AS "xsi:schemaLocation"
    ,XMLElement(NOENTITYESCAPING "Cstmr"
    ,XMLElement(NOENTITYESCAPING "GrpHdr"
    ,XMLForest(spi1.msg_id AS "MsgId"
    ,TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'YYYY-MM-DD') || 'T' || TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'HH24:MI:SS') || '.0Z'
    AS "CreDtTm"
    ,COUNT(*) AS "NbOfTxs"
    ,SUM(spi1.payment_pence_amt) / 100
    AS "CtrlSum"
    ) AS xml_doc
    FROM t_std18_payment_item_test spi1
    GROUP BY spi1.msg_id;
    This succesffully produces the desired output:
    XML_DOC
    <Document xmlns="urn:iso:std:iso:etc:etc" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:
    schemaLocation="urn:iso:std:iso:etc:etc.03 ZZZZZ6A.xsd"><Cstmr><GrpHdr><MsgId>1006</MsgId><CreDtTm>2
    011-07-12T13:20:19.0Z</CreDtTm><NbOfTxs>4624</NbOfTxs><CtrlSum>1133772055</CtrlSum></GrpHdr></Cstmr>
    </Document>
    I can then successfully create a VIEW for this:
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW payment_xml of XMLType
    WITH OBJECT ID (XMLCast(XMLQuery('/Document/CstmrCdtTrfInitn' Passing OBJECT_VALUE RETURNING CONTENT) AS BINARY_DOUBLE))
    AS
    SELECT XMLElement(NOENTITYESCAPING "Document"
    ,XMLAttributes('urn:iso:std:iso:etc:etc' AS "xmlns"
    ,'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' AS "xmlns:xsi"
    ,'urn:iso:std:iso:etc:etc.03 ZZZZZ6A.xsd' AS "xsi:schemaLocation"
    ,XMLElement(NOENTITYESCAPING "Cstmr"
    ,XMLElement(NOENTITYESCAPING "GrpHdr"
    ,XMLForest(spi1.msg_id AS "MsgId"
    ,TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'YYYY-MM-DD') || 'T' || TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'HH24:MI:SS') || '.0Z'
    AS "CreDtTm"
    ,COUNT(*) AS "NbOfTxs"
    ,SUM(spi1.payment_pence_amt) / 100
    AS "CtrlSum"
    FROM t_std18_payment_item_test spi1
    GROUP BY spi1.msg_id;
    But when I select from it using:
    SELECT XMLSerialize(Content OBJECT_VALUE AS CLOB indent) AS "Payments"
    FROM payment_xml;
    I get this:
    FROM payment_xml
    ERROR at line 2:
    ORA-19276: XPST0005 - XPath step specifies an invalid element/attribute name: (Document)
    I guess this is to do with my namespace declarations as I can successfully select from the view without the <Document> tag. However, I cannot fathom out quite what I have done wrong or how to fix it.
    Any help gratefully received.
    Thanks you,
    Graham

  • Retrieve specific range data from oracle table

    Hi, Dear friends,
    I want to retrieve all the data from oracle table and then save them to mysql table using JDBC ResultSet. The problem is that some oracle table is too big, if I retrieve all of them to memory at a once time using excuteQuery, the program will become no response out of memory limitation. So my question is if I can retrieve just specific range data once a time. I can¡¯t find this function through JDBC API. Also, I don¡¯t want to use the specific sql sentence, for example ¡°select ¡ from¡ where someid>¡ and someid<¡¡±, because there are many different tables, I want to transfer them automatically. So I can¡¯t construct such sql sentence in advance. Does anyone know if oracle JDBC driver provide such kind of function or does there any other way?
    Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated!
    Sammy

    Dear Justin,
    thank you so much for your prompt reply!
    as your suggestion, I do check the performance while my program is running, after the program become nearly no response, I found the memory usage is nearly 100%, while disk usage and process usage is pretty low. that's the reason why I guess maybe the memory limitation, but the strange thing is that no any error reported by JBuilder, it just nearly no response and don't transfer any data any more. my os is windows xp, the version of JBuilder is 7. my main memory is 768M. just as you said, the total 6,000 records in not very large, just no more than 400K. another strange thing is that why my program works well when there is little data records in the table.
    the big picture of my program is first I retrieve oracle table metadata, according to this information, I construct DDL sql words and then create the corresponding table in mysql database. this part works well. in order to save your time, I will not paste the code here. then there is a method to transfer oracle data to mysql table, whenever creating the mysql table, then I will call this method to transfer datat to it. the following is the code of this method, I am very sorry to take your time. please read it when you are available.
    thank you very much!!

  • Extracting a flat file from oracle table

    I have moved the knowledge module KIM ISO SQL to FileAppend from the Metadata to my project folder.
    But when I create an interface mapping the oracle table and a flat file on a different unix server, in the drop down menu , it shows only KIM SQL TO SQL and KIM Control Append.It does not show up the SQL to FileAppend knowledge module option.
    What should I do to extract a flat file from oracle table?

    All IKM in the Drop Down Menu are dependent of the target technology.
    A question, at this interface, is your target table a file ?

    Hi,
    I found the problem.It was because of the connection string.The format was different for oracle tables.
    PFB the format
    *cnss.open"Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle.1;Data Source= servername:port/SID;Database= DB;User Id=aaaa;Password=aaaa;"*
    And thanks *SH* for quick response.
    So closing the thread......

  • JSON - get data from Oracle table

    Hi all,
    I hope it is correct thread...
    My need is to get data from oracle table using JSON and show output at html table. I'm very new to JSON (got some experience in PL/SQL and basic html knowledge). Could someone direct me to manual or give me simple example?

    JSON is a way to format data, not a way to fetch data. Call it an alternative to XML.
    Are you perhaps talking about doing an ajax request to fetch data?

  • Display distinct rows from Oracle table without using "DISTINCT" keyword.

    How to retrieve distinct rows from oracle table without using 'DISTINCT' keyword in SQL?
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Besides GROUP BY you can use UNIQUE instead of DISTINCT as well, but that's probably not wanted here ;) , and the ROW_NUMBER() analytic:
    SQL> create table t as
      2  select 1 col1 from dual union all
      3  select 1 from dual union all
      4  select 2 from dual union all
      5  select 3 from dual union all
      6  select 4 from dual union all
      7  select 4 from dual;
    Table created
    SQL> select col1 from t;
          COL1
             1
             1
             2
             3
             4
             4
    6 rows selected
    SQL> select distinct col1 from t;
          COL1
             1
             2
             3
             4
    SQL> select unique col1 from t;
          COL1
             1
             2
             3
             4
    SQL> select col1 from t group by col1;
          COL1
             1
             2
             3
             4
    SQL> select col1
      2  from ( select col1
      3         ,      row_number() over (partition by col1 order by col1) rn
      4         from   t
      5       )
      6  where rn=1;
          COL1
             1
             2
             3
             4

  • Creating XML from JDBC resultset

    Can anyone give me a pointer as the best way to create XML from a JDBC resultset. I have told that XSU cannot be used as it is vendor specific and ties us to Oracle (yawn, yawn).
    Any ideas welcomed.

    import javax.xml.parsers.*;
    import org.w3.dom.*;
    import javax.xml.dom.*;
    import javax.xml.dom.source.*;
    import javax.xml.dom.stream.*;
    import java.sql.*;
    public class CreateXML{
    DocumentBuilderFactory dbf=DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    DocumentBuilder db=dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
    Document doc=db.newDocument();
    Element root=doc.createElement("root_element");
    // coonect to database
    //get resultset metadata rsmd
    while(rs.next()){
    Element row=doc.createElement("row");
    for(int j=1;j<=rsmd.getColumnCount();j++){
    String colName=rsmd.getCoulmName(j);
    String colValue=rs.getString(j);
    Element e=doc.createElement(colName);
    e.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(colValue));
    row.appendChild(e);
    root.appendChild(row);
    doc.appendChild(root);
    //You can now use XSLT to generate xml file thus:
    TransformerFactory tmf=TransformerFactory.newInstance();
    Transformer tf=tmf.newTransformer();
    DOMSource source=new DOMSource(doc);
    StreamResult result=new StreamResult("name of file for output");
    tf.transform(source,result);
    // of course exceptions will have to be caught in this code.
