Data from xml to oracle tables

Hi All,
I need to store data from the XML documents into appropriate tables in ORACLE. Note: I dont need to store the document itself, but the data in the document needs to be stored in the tables. What is the right way of doing this?
I previoulsy used SQLXML3.0 to load data from the XML documents to SQL server database ( .xsd will take care of the mapping), but we now need to store data into Oracle tables.
Thanks,

There is a XMLDB demo authored by Mark Drake. This will explain a lot about Oracle XMLDB.
AFter reading, if you still have questions post back to the list

Upload data from excel to oracle table

Hi,
if i'm user and using an application and i want to upload data from excel to oracle table on button click . Is it possible by using sql loader.
If yes then please clarify it .
is it possible from client end.
thanks
kam

Yes it is possible using SQL*LDR, External tables and ORCL Export Utility. Though I didn't try Export Utility to load the external files.
SQLLdr sysntax:
Create a control file.
It looks like this
Load data
Infile 'source.dat'
Into Table tablename
Fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"'
{code}
then use sqlldr command from your OS.
{code}
sqlldr userid/password@sid control = filename.ctl, data = source.dat, log = logname.log, bad = badname.log, discard = discardname.discard

What does this mean?
So I browse through forum & i got to know that i need to initial the UTL_FILE_DIR ="C:/OracleProject" in init.ora
So can i edit the init.ora with notepad.When i tried to do that it says permission denied
In my system it shows the init.ora file in path C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\config\scripts
but there is also other file initXETemp in the same path do i need to do the changes in it.
I have tried even editing the SPFILE as mentioned below:
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\dbs\SPFILEEXE - I had edit this file using notepad & set the value of UTL_FILE_DIR ="C:/OracleProject". So next time when i restarted i'm unable to log on to the database.
So i had reinstall the software again.
Could you please let me know how to proceed..

Import/insert data from XML into Oracle database tables?

Hi. (I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0 and Oracle 10g)
I have been able to export the data from one of my database tables by using a View Object and .writeXML.
Now, I want to take an xml file that is formatted in the same way as what is spit out by the writeXML and put that info in my database table. I followed online examples and have tried using .readXML like so:
Element element = XMLDoc.getDocumentElement();
vo.readXML(element, -1);
I know it is sort of working, because at first I got an error message that one of the required attributes was missing. So, I added that attribute to my xml file and ran my code. No errors. But, I checked my database, and the new records were not added.
Is there something I have done wrong? Or is there perhaps something I left out? I also noticed there were several versions of readXML like readFromXML. Which one should I use and how?
Thanks.

KUBA, I changed my code to match your example:
DocumentBuilder db = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
File xmlFile = new File("C:/myfilehere.xml");
Document doc = db.parse(xmlFile);
Element element = doc.getDocumentElement();
vo.readXML(element, -1);
vo.getDBTransaction().commit();
I still get no errors, but my database table has no new records.
Any ideas why?
Thanks.

How to store data from xml in oracle database

Hello All
Could anyone tell me ways of storing XML in Oracle and whats the best one in terms of performance issues.
any URL to this q/s would be great.
thanks
kedar

Ben,
The following link as some information regarding DOM API and XSQL.
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:2923508047773696280::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID,F4950_P8_CRITERIA:17309127931717
For XML DB, you may want to create an XMLSchema and build a table off the schema definition. Then use WEBDAV to load the xml into a folder (ie object table) Once the xml is in the database you could build a view for a relational look at the data.
Example from XMLDB Techical White Paper doc.
create or replace view PURCHASEORDER_MASTER_VIEW
(reference, requestor, userid, costcenter,...)
as select extractValue(Value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/Reference'),
extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/Requestor'),
extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/User'),
extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/CostCenter'),...
from PURCHASEORDER p

Variablize the datatypes in the select of data from XML to Oracle

Hi All,
I'm new to XML to Oracle data integration. I do have clob column that has the XML data and trying to bring it into the Oracle relational tables, as a part of it we are developing PL/SQL procedure that calls this CLOB column, I want to know if we can variablize the data types ( Just like tablename.columnname%type) in the select of the XML data:
select v.instrid, v.endtoendid, v.txid, v.cd, v.ccy,
replace(v.intrbksttlmamt,'.',',') as intrbksttlmamt, v.chrgbr, v.bic1, v.nm1, v.adrline11, v.adrline12, v.ctry1, v.iban1,
v.bic2, v.bic3, v.nm2, v.adrline21, v.adrline22, v.ctry2, v.iban2, v.cdtrref, v.addtlrmtinf
from the_data w,
xmltable(xmlnamespaces(default 'urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pacs.008.001.01'),
'/Document/pacs.008.001.01/CdtTrfTxInf'
passing xmltype(w.the_column)
columns instrid varchar2(300) path 'PmtId/InstrId',
endtoendid varchar2(150) path 'PmtId/EndToEndId',
txid varchar2(200) path 'PmtId/TxId',
cd varchar2(50) path 'PmtTpInf/SvcLvl/Cd',
) v
As you see above in the bold I do define the data types after every column name , the problem is incase there is change in datatype I do need to manually edit the procedure to change the datatype is there a way I can variablize them something like tablename.columname%type.
Any answers are greatly appreciated.

Two questions:
1. Does your database have a version number?
SELECT * FROM v$version;2. Why are you storing XML in a CLOB column rather than one of XMLType?

" (quotes) is column values when loading data from csv to oracle table

I am loading a data from csv file to an oracle table.
After the data is loaded , lets suppose the value in one column is X.
when i write a query to fetch data like
select * from table where col='X' then it gives no output.
On investigating it was found that the value is stored in col as "X".
This also happens when i copy paste the value from column to some text editor ....
i want to remove these double quotes , and also want to know why these are coming...
Any suggestions guys ?
Thanks
Using Oracle 10g

These quotes are part of your data file. Most CSV-parsers remove those quotes.
If you are using an external table you can remove them by something like this for your access parameters
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
ACCESS PARAMETERS
    RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
    OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
But if you want to remove them from your existing data use this
update your_table
set col1 = trim( '"' from col1 )
Note that in some CSV-files wich use an enclosing character the enclosing character is itself is used as an escape character to use the enclosing character inside a field.
For example a field might be "Some text with ""this"" enclosed"
To correct these fields you might use another update
update your_table
set col1 = replace( col1, '""', '"' )

Help needed badly Insert text data from xml files into tables

Hi all, I have asked to do insertion of text from a xml file into tables upon receiving using pro*c. i've done quite an amount of research on xml parser in c but there wasn't much information for mi to use for implementation...
Guys don't mind helping me to clarify few doubts of mine...
1. Where can i get the oracle xml parser libs? Is it included when i installed oracle 8i?
2. Is there any tutorials or help files for xml parser libs where i can read up?
I need the xml parser to recognise the tags, followed by recognising the text after the tags.
eg. xml format
<studentID> 0012 </studentID>
<student> john </student>
<studentID> 0013 </studentID>
<student> mary </student>
text willl be inserted into tables like this:
studentID | student
0012 | john
0013 | mary
by the way i'm using oracle 8i on HP-UX. Thanks in advance.

I can answer one of of your questions at least
1. Where can i get the oracle xml parser libs? Is it included when i installed oracle 8i?You need the XML XDK. You can use http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/xml/xdkhome.html as your starting point. I believe the 9i version works for 8i.
I have no pro*c experience so I can't offer any other suggestions regarding how to do this in pro*c.

How to load data from XML DOM into tables using Business Components

Insert XML content from BLS to oracle table

Hi,
Is there any way to send XML content from BLS to Oracle table. I tried with FixedQueryWithOuput. It works, but it has limitation, it cannot take more than 4000 character , even though the param is configured as clob in oracle database side?

Sajjad
This is not issue from xMII-side itself, instead this is an Oracle issue itself. This has some limitation in manipulating data in Database.
Managing CLOBs and BLOBs in JDBC is not very simple when compared to managing small amount of data. The way the CLOB and the BLOB objects are created and managed is different than a VARCHAR(String) column. In fact, Oracle extension classes are provided to support these types objects in JDBC like oracle.sql.CLOB, oracle.sql.BLOB etc.
The new enhancements in Oracle JDBC 10g promises to simplify the insertion and retrieval techniques for the CLOBs using the standard APIs. This document enumerates how easily the CLOB data can be handled in JDBC, by harnessing the new features of the Oracle JDBC 10g driver
Anyway, to more get info on Oracle problems u may read <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/codesnippet/jdbc/clob10g/handlingclobsinoraclejdbc10g.html">this</a>
