Encoding in XMLGEN or DBMS_XMLQUERY

Is it possible to set the encoding of the XML generated in
either XMLGEN or DBMS_XMLQUERY package?
We're using Oracle 8.1.5 so we're stuck with an older version of
XSU.
TIA

So, if I have the following code segment:
query := 'select *
from test_table
where col1 = :bind1
and col2 = :bind2';
queryCtx := DBMS_XMLQuery.newContext(query);
DBMS_XMLQuery.setBindValue(queryCtx, 'bind1', parm1);
DBMS_XMLQuery.setBindValue(queryCtx, 'bind2', parm2);
result := DBMS_XMLQuery.getXML(queryCtx);
DBMS_XMLQuery.closeContext(queryCtx);
Are you saying that I need to call 'xmlgen.clearBindValues' before binding any variables? If so, wouldn't it make more sense to have the method in the DBMS_XMLQuery package also? Why use methods from two different packages to manipulate the data?
Also, Mark, thanks for the link to the viewlet, but I think you probably meant to point to
http://otn.oracle.com/tech/xml/htdocs/XDBDemo1.html
or http://otn.oracle.com/tech/xml/htdocs/XDBDemo2.html
am I correct?

How to set encoding in XMLGen

I need to have an XML doc generated from the server with the encoding set to Big5.
I just was looking at the XMLGen utilties to replace our own PL/SQL procedures for generating XML from a query. However I can't see any option to specify the encoding.
Does anyone know how to do this.

XMLGEN.SETENCODINGTAG('ISO-8859-P1');
will do this for the output XML data. You must specify the charater set based on the NLS_LANG environment variable/registry setting to match this tag.
I used TOAD to look at the SYS.XMLGEN package definition to see extra info on this utility. You should be able to do the same using the ALL_SOURCE view from SQL*Plus.

XML encoding attribute

Hello,
I am using Oracle 10.1.0.5.0 and trying to generate XML with PL/SQL by using XMLGEN package getXML function.
The result I get is almost what I want, only one slight problem in XML header.
XML header in resul is: <?xml versio = "1.0"?>
How can I get the result header like this: <?xml versio = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>

Use DBMS_XMLQuery.
We have got a method named 'setEncodingTag' in DBMS_XMLQuery package, using which u can set the encoding.

UTF8 problem with XMLGEN

Hi All,
I'm having problems with the XML generation. The problem is that when we try to generate XML using a query, such as:
select xmlgen.getXML('select content_id, locale_id, content from bc_content_local where delete_p = ''0''',1) from dual;
It works fine so long as of the information retrieved by the query is ASCII. But if there are UTF8 characters in there, the
generation of the XML fails.
I wasn't actually getting an error message. It would work and return XML but as soon as the first UTF-8 character was encountered,
the XML just stopped.
Two questions:
1) Does the XML generation support UTF-8? 2)
If it does (I seem to remember hearing that it did) what has to be done so that this
works correctly?
We are using a UTF8 characterset we set during database creation. I have also tried setting up NLS_LANG in the client registrty to american_america.utf8 - but in both client and server I get teh same message.
Database: Oracle 8.1.7 Standard Edition on Sun-Solaris 2.8
Any help greatly appreciated,

Invalid UTF8 encoding & XSU

I am using XSU version 1.2.
to generating an XML document from data

The Document must contain
encoding = "ISO-8859-1" in the ?xml tag.
How can i make the XMLGEN.getxml create a document contaning the encoding attribute ?

Storing Chinese data as clob using dbms_xmlquery

Xmlgen.SetbindValue example

Can someone give me a code example of using xmlgen.setbindvalue and the proper format of the xmlgen.getxml() method.
Thanks

I'm not exactly sure what your problem is. You are able to bind the same value to another variable with a different name. If you won't know how many variables will appear in your select statement then you have a problem with how the XSU works. The XSU requires you know the structure of the SQL statement you pass it.
You could execute v_query using Native Dynamic SQL in 8i with a using clause containing your bind values. This should allow you to dynamically build your query with n amount of bind variables.
Also, you really should be using DBMS_XMLQUERY instead of XMLGEN. XMLGEN is there for backward compatibility, but DBMS_XMLQUERY is the latest and greatest XSU.
See the Oracle XML Portal website for more info at www.webspedite.com/oracle.

Xmlgen.getxml Nested Cursors with LONG RAW and BLOB Data Types

I am trying to use a nested cursor with xmlgen.getxml that has a long raw or blob column. In either case, it will not return to me any data in the xml document pertaining to that LONG RAW or BLOB column. If I do not use a nested cursor, it works fine.
Example:
SELECT xmlgen.getxml('SELECT x, CURSOR(SELECT y FROM y_tab WHERE y_tab.x_id = x_tab.x_id) y FROM x_tab') FROM dual;
This will not produce the information I am after.
However, simply running:
SELECT xmlgen.getxml('SELECT y FROM y_tab WHERE y_tab.x_id = <somevalue>') FROM dual;
Works???
Any ideas out there? Does anyone know if DBMS_XMLQUERY has this limitation?
Thanks,
Brad

It doesn't appear that I am able to attach the PDF files. Can you supply your email (or I can supply mine) so I can send you the three files:
1.) A good PDF (manually extracted from our old application)
2.) Dump of the same PDF file (includes header/footer info)
3.) A partially fixed PDF file (but some of the pictures / pages are cut off - specifically pages 3,5,9,10,12,14)
The way that we have tried to fix the file (in example 3 above) is the following:
a.) Find the First Occurrence of "%PDF-"
b.) Find the Last Occurrence of "%%EOF"
c.) if the first "%PDF-" is found AND the last "%%EOF" is found, then
i.) Remove all data before the first %PDF-
ii.) Remove all data after the last %%EOF
Let me know if you need any other information.
Thanks,

Xmlgen rowid attribute

I am using the xmlgen package to return an xml result set to java. I am trying to eliminate the id attribute that prints within each row tag. The documentation states that I can use xmlgen.setRowIDAttrName() and pass in an empty string or null to accomplish this. However, when I try this like xmlgen.setRowIDAttrName(NULL) or xmlgen.setRowIDAttrName(''), it does not work. The resulting xml still has the default num="1" ect. I have been successful in changing the name of the attribute but not eliminating it. Does any know if I am doing something wrong or another way to do this? Thanks.

I'm having the same problem. However, if you use the DBMS_XMLQuery method you will be okay:
FUNCTION dateXML RETURN CLOB IS
query VARCHAR2(1000);
result CLOB;
queryCtx DBMS_XMLquery.ctxType;
BEGIN
query := 'select sysdate from dual';
queryCtx := DBMS_XMLQuery.newContext(query);
DBMS_XMLQuery.setRowsetTag(queryCtx,'html');
DBMS_XMLQuery.setRowTag(queryCtx,'body');
DBMS_XMLQuery.setRowIdAttrName(queryCtx,null);
result := DBMS_XMLQuery.getXML(queryCtx);
DBMS_XMLQuery.closeContext(queryCtx);
return result;
END;
Apparently the OracleXMLStaticQuery.setRowIdAttrName method (used by DMBS_XMLQuery) works properly, but the OracleXMLStore.setRowIdAttrName method (used by xmlgen) does not.
Is there another solution or fix for this?

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details like exact versions, render settings, details about the source files and so on.

Filename in Media Encoder CC

Hello there ;-)
In After Effect CC u can render picture sequences using a filname like: "Project_[#####].jpg". The [#####] is replaced by the framenumber when rendering. When i render a picture sequenc in Media Encoder CC i Don´t have that oportunity. It allways starts with a Number like 000001. My Question - is it possible to change that in the encoder? So that i have the Frame number in the filename like in After Effect CC? If yes - how? I haven´t find anything!
THANX for your help!

I have this issue too. It makes After effects impossible to use with media encoder. What we want is the actual frame number from After effects
Example
I have a 5000 frame AE export.
I can export the lot from AME
Render0000.png - Render5000.png
Client makes a change to Frames 4500-5000
Try and render Work area to AME
Result = Render0001.png - Render0499.png
The only way to keep file numbers is to use AE's render Queue which seem to be way slower than AME?

Media Encoder CC mpeg2 Question

Basically what the title says. Where exactly is the option to format a video into an mpeg2 file? I've been Googling this to death. I know I've seen some people say they had it, then it disappeared. But I literally just downloaded Media Encoder and its nowhere to be found. Even under the DVD and Blue-ray section, the only options are for Blue-ray. I need to burn a wedding video onto a DVD. Is there something special you have to do to get this done? Are there limits on the free trial version that don't allow mpeg2 downloads? Help!

Are you using AME CC 2014? MPEG2 is included in AME under more strict license than other formats and is only activated only if you have Premiere Pro CC 2014, AfterEffects CC 2014 or Prelude CC 2014. If you are using them under a free trial, MPEG2 becomes unavailable after a trial period expires. After a trial has been expired, AME CC 2014 can be used extra 30 more days, but without MPEG2.
If you already used up a trial period, you can either 1) install one of three apps I mentioned earlier that you haven't installed before and activate it as a trial or 2) purchase a subscription for Creative Cloud. #1 option allows you to use MPEG2 30 more days. With #2 option, you can use MPEG2 as long as you keep your subscription active. I hope this helps.
