Editing XML stored in an Oracle database

We are planning to store many thousands of text articles in an
Oracle database, in XML format.
Once stored we need an easy interface to allow librarians and
lawyers to edit these documents. Does Oracle have its own
integrated XML editor (i.e. one that opens files from the DB and
saves them to the DB)?
I know of one 3rd party product that can do this, and many
others that can just edit file system files. However I hoped
Oracle would have either have a product, or have a partnership
with a company that does.
Many thanks

Oracle does not have anything announced at this time, however
you might want to check out ADEPT from Arbortext
(www.arbortext.com).

XML Publisher with Non Oracle databases

Hi,
Can we use XML Publisher with non oracle databases like Postgres ,mySQL etc.

Hi
Not sure if you're talking Apps or non but you can do it equally with both. Check out the Data Engine in the user guide and look for Distributed Queries. XMLP will need a jdbc connection to the db but you can then pass a query and get XML back.
You can even write one query to pull back say customers from Oracle and their invoices from MySQL, you'll get a merged data set back with a master detail relationship btw customers-invoices

Calling Stored Procedure from Oracle DataBase using Sender JDBC (JDBC-JMS)

Hi All,
We have requirement to move the data from Database to Queue (Interface Flow: JDBC -> JMS).
Database is Oracle.
*Based on Event, data will be triggered into two tables: XX & YY. This event occurs twice daily.
Take one field: 'aa' in XX and compare it with the field: 'pp' in YY.
If both are equal, then
if the field: 'qq' in YY table equals to "Add" then take the data from the view table: 'Add_View'.
else if the field: 'qq' in YY table equals to "Modify" then take the data from the view table: 'Modify_View'.
Finally, We need to archive the selected data from the respective view table.*
From each table, data will come differently, means with different field names.
I thought of call Stored Procedure from Sender JDBC Adapter for the above requirement.
But I heard that, we cannot call stored procedure in Oracle through Sender JDBC as it returns Cursor instead of ResultSet.
Is there any way other than Stored Procedure?
How to handle Data Types as data is coming from two different tables?
Can we create one data type for two tables?
Is BPM required for this to collect data from two different tables?
Can somebody guide me on how to handle this?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Gopal,
Thank you for your reply.
>Is there any way other than Stored Procedure?
Can you try configuring sender adapter to poll the data in intervals. You can configure Automatic TIme planning (ATP) in the sender jdbc channel.
I need to select the data from different tables based on some conditions. Let me simplify that.
Suppose Table1 contains 'n' no of rows. For each row, I need to test two conditions where only one condition will be satisfied. If 1st condition is satisfied, then data needs to be taken from Table2 else data needs to be taken from Table3.
How can we meet this by configuring sender adapter with ATP?
================================================================================================
>How to handle Data Types as data is coming from two different tables?
If you use join query in the select statement field of the channel then whatever you need select fields will be returned. This might be fields of two tables. your datatype fields are combination of two diff table.
we need to take data only from one table at a time. It is not join of two tables.
================================================================================================
Thanks,

Loading XML files to an oracle database

Hi,
I have some users who would like to send me XML files that I would need to parse and load into multiple tables in my Oracle database. Since I'm new to XML, I'd like to know if XMK DB is the technology that I need to explore in order to do this, and if so, are there any white papers or articles out there that might get me started.
I have previously loaded data into my databases via text files that I parsed using text_io, I'm not sure if there is a significant advantage in using XML. This data load is going to be on an regular basis and I would like to validate the data the data before loading this.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Azeem.

XML is becoming the defacto method of exchanging data between systems due to it's self describing nature. XML DB is the preferred way of processing XML in Oracle 9iR2 and later. The banner for this forum provides links to the XML DB OTN pages where you can find lots of information related to using XML DB.

Export chksum of stored procs from Oracle Database

Does anyone know how I would export a checksum of stored procedures and packages that are stored in a oracle 11g db?
I need to extract this information and then with a script that I will create I need to compare a chksum of what is in my Liquibase. I need to create this to alert me when a dba or engineer makes a change in the database but does not make the same change in Liquibase.
It was suggested to me that there might be some function I could use to do this or possibly use datapump in some way.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

ThanksHere is a timing problem.
At some point in time, a change will exist within PROD & not in Liquibase.
How much elapsed time is allowed between making 1st & doing Liquibase?
How often should this comparison be done?

Code to parse the XML stored in a XMLTYPE field in database

Hi All,
Please can someone forward me the code to parse the XML retrieved from the oracle database. I want to parse the whole xml, any node any attribute and store the extracted values in database. For example:
<mail>
<mailing_list name="test1">
<mailing_list_users>
<user email="[email protected]" address="abcd" />
<user email="[email protected]" address="abcdef" />
</mailing_list_users>
</mailing_list>
<mailing_list name="test2">
<mailing_list_users>
<user email="[email protected]" address="abcd1" />
<user email="[email protected]" address="abcdef1" />
</mailing_list_users>
</mailing_list>
</mail>
In this example, i want to loop thru all the mailing lists to extract therir values and under each mailing lists i want to loop thru all the users and their details.
I require this urgently. Any help will be appreciated.

I am not sure if this is the correct way to do it but I found such class from my old codes:
import java.util.*;
* class for parsing strange value of time to "normal" view
public class NumericToTime
     GregorianCalendar gc = null;
     StringTokenizer st = null;
     int days, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds;
     float fract;
     public NumericToTime(String str)
          try
               gc = new GregorianCalendar(1900,0,0);
               st = new StringTokenizer(str, ".");
               days = Integer.parseInt(st.nextToken());
               Float f = new Float("0." + st.nextToken());
               fract = f.floatValue();
          catch(NoSuchElementException e)
               fract = 0.0f;
     * method which calculate time
     public void calculateTime()
          float h, m, s;
          gc.add(GregorianCalendar.DATE, days-1);//days-1 MS'i fenomeenil baseeruv "patch"
          h = (float)(24.0*fract); hours = (int)h;
          gc.set(GregorianCalendar.HOUR, hours);
          m = (float)(60.0*(h - (float)hours)); minutes = (int)m;
          gc.set(GregorianCalendar.MINUTE, minutes);
          s = (float)(60.0*(m - (float)minutes)); seconds = (int)s;
          gc.set(GregorianCalendar.SECOND, seconds);
          milliseconds = (int)(1000.0*(s - (float)seconds));
          gc.set(GregorianCalendar.MILLISECOND, milliseconds);
     * method which return time value as Date object
     public Date getTime() {

Complex transformation inserting xml data to oracle database.

Hi,
I Have one small Problem While loading xml data to a oracle database.
In the XSD i have the Columns Like this.
<Data>
<Type_Trs>
<T1>
<T2>
</Data>
My Database contains only two columns
For Example:
Type_Trs
Corr_Data.
Now My problem is Based on Type_Trs Value i need to take values of T1 and T2 should be loaded in Corr_Data column.
How to write Xsl transformation for this using <xsl:choose>.
For Clearing the Question I am giving the Example.
Case : 1
<Data>
<type_Trs>BO</Type_Trs>
<T1>1</T1>
<T2>2</T2>
</Data>
In the Example my type_trs is value 'BO', so the Data in table should be
Type_Trs Corr_Data
======= =======
BO 1
Case : 2
<Data>
<type_Trs>CP</Type_Trs>
<T1>1</T1>
<T2>2</T2>
</Data>
In the Example my type_trs is value 'CP', so the Data in table should be
Type_Trs Corr_Data
======= =======
CP 2
For doing this How can i write my XSL transformation based on the condition?
Thanks in advances
Regards
GSR

Why do you need a XSL transformation for this? Can you not get the results based on this select:

                CASE EXTRACTVALUE (t2.COLUMN_VALUE, 'Type_Trs')

                      THEN EXTRACTVALUE (t3.COLUMN_VALUE, 'T1')
                   WHEN 'CP'
                      THEN EXTRACTVALUE (t4.COLUMN_VALUE, 'T2')
                END corr_data
           FROM TABLE
                   (XMLSEQUENCE
                       (EXTRACT

                      <T1>1</T1>
                      <T2>2</T2>
                      <Type_Trs>CP</Type_Trs>
                      <T1>1</T1>
