Example xsl to transform database table to xml

Hi All,
I am looking for sample xsl to transform database table to xml.
Thanks in Advance.

ODI does not use XSL for transforming DB Data into XML.
It uses a built-in JDBC Driver for XML files. The XML file appears like a DB Engine. At the end of the day, it is more like JDBC to JDBC data transfer.

How to convert database table into xml file

Hi.
How to convert database table into XML file in Oracle HTML DB.
Please let me know.
Thanks.

This not really a specific APEX question... but I search the database forum and found this thread which I think will help
Exporting Oracle table to XML
If it does not I suggest looking at the database forum or have a look at this document on using the XML toolkit
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/html/B12146_01/c_xml.htm
Hope this helps

Persist XML Data to Database Table - Generic XML Schema

Hi,
I would like to represent data in XML format and persist to any database tables.
The ideal xml is like:
<TABLE NAME="TABLE1">
<TABLEDEF><COLUMN NAME="COLUMN1"/><COLUMN NAME="COLUMN2"/></TABLEDEF>
<ROW><COLUMN VALUE="value1"/><COLUMN VALUE="value2"/></ROW>
<ROW><COLUMN VALUE="value11"/><COLUMN VALUE="value22"/></ROW>
</TABLE>
<TABLE NAME="TABLE2">
</TABLE>
The XML could then be parsed, and saved to database with JDBC by manually composing the statement strings.
To reduce the coding effort (xml parsing, JDBC connection, etc), are there any open source projects available to achieve the above purpose? The popular O/R mapping tools like Hibernate, Castor, etc, can't handle this scanario because they require the knowledge of the tables on the server side in order to create the mapping files in advance.
Thanks for the help!

Please follow the discussion in the following thread
How does XML DB transform a Schema into object-relationals tables?

Xml, xsl, java and database

I have several xml documents that uses different tags to describe the same type of information. In my case they describe a row in a database table.
file1.xml
<therow>
<name>Jones</name>
<title>manager</title>
</therow>
file2.xml
<arow>
<employee>King</employee>
<job>manager</job>
</arow>
I want to use a technology for reading the content of the two files and generate a new document for each file that will use generic tags so the content of the new files could look like:
file1
<row>
<employeename>Jones</employeename>
<employeetitle>manager</employeetitle>
</row>
file2
<row>
<employeename>King</employeename>
<emplyeetitle>manager</employeetitle>
</row>
An then I can read this information by using a generic Java class and insert it into the database table..
I was told that the technology used for doing this was XSLT. I have been searching the web for examples and also tried to read some of the content in the Steve Muench book 'Building Oracle XML Applications'.
I have managed to create XSL files, but I would really appreciate if someone could show me a real example of how to do this, with the xml file, the xsl file, and a small java program to read this. Can anyone help?

Post your XSL files, otherwise we'd have to write them again.

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.

Load XML data from UNIX Server Directly into Relational Database Tables

Is there a way I can load data from an XML File into Oracle Tables , without having the Input XML file in some Oracle Server Directory. My XML File resides on UNIX Application server. And I need to directly load the data into Database tables. Without loading them into the Database Directory.
Also I am looking for a solution that would not load my Database much and effect other running processes. Can it be done using SQL Loader ?
Oracle Database Version is : Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production

Thanks for your reply ,
Please would you quote an Example about : 'Load the file into that table using SQL*Loader' (From UNIX Server) Or instance of some existing thread that relates to my situation.
The Size of the File would be about 3 GB. For a similar requirement one of my peers Code which used XMLTABLE and XPATH Approach consumed a lot of resources while running and caused the other Database Applications to slow down. Thus those guys have come up with an approach to :
        Parse XML using a C Code using some STRING Functions => For a CSV or Fixed width .dat file and then use SQL Loader to just load the file into Tables.
        This approach is efficient in terms of Resources and Time(Takes 5 mins). But I am not confident about parsing XML based on String based C Functions.
         Please comment about this approach . Also if possible Suggest the best efficient way of doing this.

Loading XML files into Database table

Loading XML files into Database table
Hi I have some XML files say 100 files in a virtual directory created using "Create or replace directory command" and those files need to be loaded into a table having a column of XMLTYPE. 1)How to load that using Oracle provided procedures/packages

Check out the Oracle XDB Developer's Guide, Chapter 3. There is an example of using BFileName function to load the xml files from a directory object created using create or replace directory. It works really well.

Generating xml file from database table

Could anyone please explain how to generate a xml file from a database table.examples will be highly appreciated.
thanks in advance

See the release notes for our XSQL Pages component of the Java XDK for a tutorial. There are also lots of examples in Building Oracle XML Applications.
You use the XML SQL Utility component to accomplish the task. It's part of our Java XDK that you can download from http://otn.oracle.com/tech/xml

Hello Anybody, I have a question. Can any of you please suggest me how to make an xml file from the database table with all the rows? Note:- I am having the XSD Schema file and the resulted XML file should be in that XSD format only.

Hello Anybody, I have a question. Can any of you please suggest me how to make an xml file from the database table with all the records?

The Oracle documentation has a good overview of the options available
Generating XML Data from the Database
Without knowing your version, I just picked 11.2, so you made need to look for that chapter in the documentation for your version to find applicable information.
You can also find some information in XML DB FAQ

A query while importing an XML file into a Database Table

2)my target servers schema
Please tell me what I'll do??
Thanks

What's the best way to create XML file with a schema from a database table?

Hi,
I want to create an XML file from a database table (which has over 600 columns) using XML schema (.xsd file). I want to know the best way to do this.
The output XML file is NOT a direct data dump from the DB table, there�re some logic around it, such as the XML file has some hierarchy with repeating tags.
I have done this using JAXB by creating Java classes form XML schema, but I don�t want to map 600 DB columns to these Java classes manually, and loop through the record set to create repeating tags.
I know there are few tools around now like MapForce (Altova), how do people do these now?
Thanks,
Chandi

The data in the 2 different files should be read and inserted as a row into the same database table.
Instead of creating a java program for each xml file to insert the content into the database, I would like to first "translate" the content of the xml files and create a file for each xml file which uses the same tags, so that my java programs only reads the new "translated" files and inserts the data into the database.
This means that when I receive a new xml file with different tags but information about a row that should be inserted into the same table, I just have to "translate" this file, and use the same java program to insert the new file data into the database.
I would like to know which technology should be used to perform this task.

XSLT is quite commonly used for this.
Or, for more a formal approach, google 'xml "architectural forms"'
