DTD + XML file to Oracle tables

I have a DTD , An XML file from a public source.
A bunch of tables in my database and a spreadsheet that tells me what tag goes to which table/column.
How do I get the data into a database ? Any help is welcome
SB

You might want to take a look at registerSchema (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_xmlsch.htm#sthref9696) with genTables set to TRUE. This would let you use the DTD to create a table structure within Oracle. This may or may not be what you are looking for but you didn't provide many details.
That's 10.2 documentation so use the edition for your version of Oracle

Data Load from XML file to Oracle Table

Hi,
I am trying to load data from XML file to Oracle table using DBMS_XMLStore utility.I have performed the prerequisites like creating the directory from APPS user, grant read/write to directory, placing the data file on folder on apps tier, created a procedure ‘insertXML’ to load the data based on metalink note (Note ID: 396573.1 How to Insert XML by passing a file Instead of using Embedded XML). I am running the procedure thru below anonymous block to insert the data in the table.
Anonymous block
declare
begin
insertXML('XMLDIR', 'results.xml', 'employee_results');
end;
I am getting below error after running the anonymous block.
Error :     ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed”
Cause :   The operation attempted on the file or LOB failed.
Action:   See the next error message in the error stack for more detailed
           information. Also, verify that the file or LOB exists and that
           the necessary privileges are set for the specified operation. If
           the error still persists, report the error to the DBA.
I searched this error on metalink and found DOC ID 1556652.1 . I Ran the script provided in the document. PFA the script.
Also, attaching a document that list down the steps that I have followed.
Please check and let me know if I am missing something in the process. Please help to get this resolve.

Sankalp

Hi
try giving only the xml file. something like this "jdbc:snps:xml?f=C:\abctest.xml" , when inserting physical schema dont forget to give the values for schema and work schema.

XML file to Oracle Table

Hello friends,
Can you please help me with the following requirements?
I have a xml structure like this
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<data>
<var name="document">
<string>Sales Order</String>
</var>
<var name="results">
<recordset rowcount="2">
<field name="sales_num">
<string>12345</string>
<string>A0192</string>
</field>
<field name="ord_qty">
<string>10</string>
<string>50</string>
</field>
</recordset>
</var>
</data>
I have to read this xml file and copy the data to the Oracle table
Sales Table
CREATE TABLE SALES
SALES_NUM VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
ORD_QTY NUMBER(4)
Expected Result
x. Sales Num Ord Qty
1. 12345 10
2. A0192 50
I tried to follow the approach provided in this link http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/9i/ParseXMLDocuments9i.php . But it doesn't work with the XML structure I have.
Thanks,
Mahesh

please let me know the solution as well. i need this

END;
that works well in little XML files but in XML files that are bigger the stored procedures to not work because string maximum length in Oracle is 4000..can anyone know a solution to pass over this problem?!?!
one more thing im working with Oracle SQL Developer and Sap Mii, the XML file is generated in Sap Mii and then i have to pass it in one step to database..my one step is this stored procedure
one more thing im working with Oracle SQL developer and SAP Mii

You can use CLOB for big files.

XML in Oracle 9i (best method to return a xml file from a table query)

Hello.
What is the best method to query a table, or set of tables (that will return thousands of rows) using xml in oracle? (best performance)
I'm currently using DBMS_XMLGen, is there a better method ?

I think, if your talking about generating XML, that you should use XMLElement, XMLForest, etc. to create your XML.
Lets assume that you base is relational data, then maybe the following great example will give you an idea how to do it : Re: Generate XML Schema from oracle tables
As michaels pointed out (did you read the link/ URL given?), the general expectancy is that the packages will be less and less important. So also maintenance wise the XMLElement, etc way will be the best, also for the future, maintainable method.

How to load a XML file into a table

Hi,
I've been working on Oracle for many years but for the first time I was asked to load a XML file into a table.
As an example, I've found this on the web, but it doesn't work
Can someone tell me why? I hoped this example could help me.
the file acct.xml is this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
<HEADER>
<STATUS_CODE>100</STATUS_CODE>
<STATUS_REMARKS>check</STATUS_REMARKS>
</HEADER>
<DETAILS>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>2</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>3</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic administration</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>4</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic finance</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>5</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic logistics</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
</DETAILS>
<HEADER>
<STATUS_CODE>500</STATUS_CODE>
<STATUS_REMARKS>process exception</STATUS_REMARKS>
</HEADER>
<DETAILS>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>20</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS> base polytechnic</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>30</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>40</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS> base polytechnic finance</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>50</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS> base polytechnic logistics</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
</DETAILS>
</ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
For the two tags HEADER and DETAILS I have the table:
create table xxrp_acct_details(
status_code number,
status_remarks varchar2(100),
segment_number number,
remarks varchar2(100)
before I've created a
create directory test_dir as 'c:\esterno'; -- where I have my acct.xml
and after, can you give me a script for loading data by using XMLTABLE?
I've tried this but it doesn't work:
DECLARE
acct_doc xmltype := xmltype( bfilename('TEST_DIR','acct.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8') );
BEGIN
insert into xxrp_acct_details (status_code, status_remarks, segment_number, remarks)
select x1.status_code,
        x1.status_remarks,
        x2.segment_number,
        x2.remarks
from xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
passing acct_doc
columns header_no      for ordinality,
          status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
          status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
) x1,
xmltable(
'$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS[$hn]/DETAIL'
passing acct_doc as "d",
          x1.header_no as "hn"
columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
          remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS'
) x2
END;
This should allow me to get something like this:
select * from xxrp_acct_details;
Statuscode status remarks segement remarks
100 check 2 rp polytechnic
100 check 3 rp polytechnic administration
100 check 4 rp polytechnic finance
100 check 5 rp polytechnic logistics
500 process exception 20 base polytechnic
500 process exception 30
500 process exception 40 base polytechnic finance
500 process exception 50 base polytechnic logistics
but I get:
Error report:
ORA-06550: line 19, column 11:

06550. 00000 - "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
*Cause:    Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
and if I try to change the script without using the column HEADER_NO to keep track of the header rank inside the document:
DECLARE
acct_doc xmltype := xmltype( bfilename('TEST_DIR','acct.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8') );
BEGIN
insert into xxrp_acct_details (status_code, status_remarks, segment_number, remarks)
select x1.status_code,
        x1.status_remarks,
        x2.segment_number,
        x2.remarks
from xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
passing acct_doc
columns status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
          status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
) x1,

passing acct_doc
columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
          remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS'

END;
I get this message:

My oracle version is 10gR2 Express Edition
I do need a script for loading xml files into a table as soon as possible, Give me please a simple example for understanding and that works on 10gR2 Express Edition
Thanks in advance!

The reason your first SQL statement
select x1.status_code,
        x1.status_remarks,
        x2.segment_number,
        x2.remarks
from xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
passing acct_doc
columns header_no      for ordinality,
          status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
          status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
) x1,
xmltable(
'$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS[$hn]/DETAIL'
passing acct_doc as "d",
          x1.header_no as "hn"
columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
          remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS'
) x2
returns the error you noticed
PL/SQL: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got NUMBER
is because Oracle is expecting XML to be passed in. At the moment I forget if it requires a certain format or not, but it is simply expecting the value to be wrapped in simple XML.
Your query actually runs as is on 11.1 as Oracle changed how that functionality worked when 11.1 was released. Your query runs slowly, but it does run.
As you are dealing with groups, is there any way the input XML can be modified to be like
<ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
<ACCOUNT_GROUP>
<HEADER>....</HEADER>
<DETAILS>....</DETAILS>
</ACCOUNT_GROUP>
<ACCOUNT_GROUP>
<HEADER>....</HEADER>
<DETAILS>....</DETAILS>
</ACCOUNT_GROUP>
</ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
so that it is easier to associate a HEADER/DETAILS combination? If so, it would make parsing the XML much easier.
Assuming the answer is no, here is one hack to accomplish your goal
select x1.status_code,
        x1.status_remarks,
        x3.segment_number,
        x3.remarks
from xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
passing acct_doc
columns header_no      for ordinality,
          status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
          status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
) x1,
xmltable(
'$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS'
passing acct_doc as "d",
columns detail_no      for ordinality,
          detail_xml     xmltype       path 'DETAIL'
) x2,
xmltable(
'DETAIL'
passing x2.detail_xml
columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
          remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS') x3
WHERE x1.header_no = x2.detail_no;
This follows the approach you started with. Table x1 creates a row for each HEADER node and table x2 creates a row for each DETAILS node. It assumes there is always a one and only one association between the two. I use table x3, which is joined to x2, to parse the many DETAIL nodes. The WHERE clause then joins each header row to the corresponding details row and produces the eight rows you are seeking.
There is another approach that I know of, and that would be using XQuery within the XMLTable. It should require using only one XMLTable but I would have to spend some time coming up with that solution and I can't recall whether restrictions exist in 10gR2 Express Edition compared to what can run in 10.2 Enterprise Edition for XQuery.

Problem converting data in XML file to internal table data

Hi all,
I have a requirement. I need to convert an XML file to internal table data and based on that data do Goods Receipt in SAP.
With the help of this blog /people/r.eijpe/blog/2005/11/10/xml-dom-processing-in-abap-part-i--convert-an-abap-table-into-xml-file-using-sap-dom-approach
I am able to convert the XML file to data in SAP. But this blog will display the output on screen as ELELEMNT = nodename VALUE= value of that node.
But I donu2019t want in that way, I want to store all the data in XML file in an internal table so that I can make use of those values and do Goods Recipt in SAP.
Can some one suggest how should I read the data in an internal table.
Here is my code..what changes should I make?

Pavel Vera,
With your example i tries doing the following .....
I tried to convert the data of XML file to internal table data. I am collecting the data in internal table to do goos recipt with that data.
Please find my XML file, ABAP pgm and XSLT pgm . I donu2019t know what I am missing I am not getting any output. I donu2019t know what is wrong please help me with this
Below is my XML file, My code and XSLT Program. In the below XML file I need to collect Vendor Number, Order Number, and Date tags which occur only once for one XML file.
I also need to collect the following tags from <Shipmentdetail>
<Shipmentdetail> has following child nodes and I need to collect them
TrackingNumber
Freight
Weight
ShipmentDate
ShipmentMethod
Need to collect to collect the following tags from <ProductInformation>
<ProductInformation> has following child nodes and I need to collect them
    LineNumber
    SKUNumber
    OrderedQuantity
    ShippedQuantity
    UOM
The <Shipmentdetail> and <ProductInformation> are child nodes of <OrderShipment>
The <Shipmentdetail> occurs only ones but the <ProductInformation> can occur once or many times and will be dynamic and differs depening on the input file.
My XML file is as follows

Loading xml file to Oracle XE

Hi lists,
I have xml file containing some data i have received from a colleague and would like to load it to oracle XE database. I want to also be able to create a table out of the xml file and and transfer the data from the xml file to the table. I would be very happy if someone can brief me on the processes of achieving it.
Thanks in advance

Ok well it looks like it's case sensitive. Oracle "helpfully" converted my column names to upper case. Guess I should have paid attention when I created the table.
Having said that, it looks like you need to use an xml schema like so:
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<YourFieldName>some value</YourFieldName>
<AnotherFieldName>another value</AnotherFieldName>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<YourFieldName2>some value 2</YourFieldName2>
<AnotherFieldName2>another value 2</AnotherFieldName2>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>

How to store XML data into Oracle Table

I had trouble to store XML data into Oracle Table with XDK (Oracle 8.1.7 ). The error is:
C:\XDK_Java_9_2\xdk\demo\java\Test>java testInsert Dept.xml
<Line 1, Column 1>: XML-0108: (Fatal Error) Start of root element expected.
Exception in thread "main" oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Start of root element expected.
at oracle.xml.sql.dml.OracleXMLSave.saveXML(OracleXMLSave.java:2263)
at oracle.xml.sql.dml.OracleXMLSave.insertXML(OracleXMLSave.java:1333)
at testInsert.main(testInsert.java:8)
Here is my xml file:
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1">
<DEPTNO>10</DEPTNO>
<DNAME>ACCOUNTING</DNAME>
<LOC>NEW YORK</LOC>
</ROW>
<ROW num="2">
<DEPTNO>20</DEPTNO>
<DNAME>RESEARCH</DNAME>
<LOC>DALLAS</LOC>
</ROW>
<ROW num="3">
<DEPTNO>30</DEPTNO>
<DNAME>SALES</DNAME>
<LOC>CHICAGO</LOC>
</ROW>
<ROW num="4">
<DEPTNO>40</DEPTNO>
<DNAME>OPERATIONS</DNAME>
<LOC>BOSTON</LOC>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
and here is structure of table:
Name Null? Type
DEPTNO NOT NULL NUMBER(2)
DNAME VARCHAR2(14)
LOC VARCHAR2(13)
and here is my Java Code:
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.xml.sql.dml.OracleXMLSave;
public class testInsert{
     public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException{
          Connection conn = getConnection();
          OracleXMLSave sav = new OracleXMLSave(conn,"scott.tmp_dept");
          sav.insertXML(args[0]);
          sav.close();
          conn.close();
     private static Connection getConnection()throws SQLException{
          DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
          Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@amt-ebdev01:1521:mydept","scott","tiger");
          return conn;
Could you help me ? Thanks !

The problem is that you need to pass avalid URL , Document...
Please try this code instead:
import java.net.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
import oracle.xml.sql.dml.OracleXMLSave;
public class testInsert
public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException{
Connection conn = getConnection();
OracleXMLSave sav = new OracleXMLSave(conn,"scott.temp_dept");
URL url = createURL(args[0]);
sav.insertXML(url);
sav.close();
conn.close();
private static Connection getConnection()throws SQLException{
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@dlsun1982:1521:jwxdk9i","scott","tiger");
return conn;
// Helper method to create a URL from a file name
static URL createURL(String fileName)
URL url = null;
try
url = new URL(fileName);
catch (MalformedURLException ex)
File f = new File(fileName);
try
String path = f.getAbsolutePath();
// This is a bunch of weird code that is required to
// make a valid URL on the Windows platform, due
// to inconsistencies in what getAbsolutePath returns.
String fs = System.getProperty("file.separator");
if (fs.length() == 1)
char sep = fs.charAt(0);
if (sep != '/')
path = path.replace(sep, '/');
if (path.charAt(0) != '/')
path = '/' + path;
path = "file://" + path;
url = new URL(path);
catch (MalformedURLException e)
System.out.println("Cannot create url for: " + fileName);
System.exit(0);
return url;
