Generate database schema in XML from database structure

hi
I want to generate the entire database schema in XML from database structure. (Same feature is provided by Altova XMLSpy).
It would be great if there was some API that does the process of parsing the database structure and generating the XML automatically. A similiar feature is provided by Apache DdlUtils' API, but a stable version is not yet available...
Please help!
Thanks in advance.

Nikhil,
There is a wealth of information available on the Internet regarding the XML capabilities of the Oracle database.
Have you done an Internet search for "SQL XML Oracle"?
Good Luck,
Avi.

Generating XML from database

I'm a total newbie in XML DB and need advice on generating XML from database.
The situation is the following: there is a legacy web application which uses an XML document as a configuration file. This document conforms to some well-defined schema. For instance:
<config>
 <title value="TITLE" />
 <subtitle value="SUBTITLE" />
 <style url="default.css" />
 <widgets>
 <widget id="1" opened="true" />
 <widget id="2" opened="false" />
 </widgets>
</config>
It contains portions of static data which are common for all users as well as dynamic personal data.
Dynamic data comes from two sources:
1) security considerations (for instance, not all widgets are available for some users) - thus the "master" configuration content must be filtered, but not otherwise modified;
2) user preferences (for instance, user can set widget2 to be opened by default) - thus values of some attributes must be different for each user. When the user saves her preferences, the entire document with new values is posted back to server.
We want to try to store user preferences, apply security and generate personalized configuration documents using XML DB.
So we need advice on storage models and generation procedures - which should be more efficient and easy to support or extend.
Please note, that there is no requirement to actually store data as XML.
Thanks in advance!
P.S.: Sorry for the incomplete initial post.

How to populate Adobe LiveCycle Designer generated PDF Forms with data from Database in Windows app

Hi
I have a PDF template designed in Adobe LiveCycle Designer. This template has form fields which needs to be filled with data programmatically. I am using windows application in C#.Net 2005 in which I want to retrieve data from database and merge this data into PDF form in respective fields.
How this can be achieved?
I searched a lot & I found that we can process the XDP file generated from PDF to acheive this. I created the XDP file out of the PDF template created in designer. But I don't know how to merge data from database into that XDP file in respective fields and again convert this XDP file back to PDF programmatically. Can anybody help me ? This is urgent.
Thanks in advance.

Can I get the oracle database schema in xml like the original ones

Working with Migration Workbench I've found that uses an XML
with the schema of the original database. I'm asking if I can
get the equivalent XML for the oracle model.
I need a quickly way of get in XML the structure (not data) of
my oracle databases.
Any idea?

Ok, it is unclear on what is happening here.
Are you saying that when the webclient gets the data that it is not honoring the quote characters? Or the processing of the data buffer is causing issues?
This is what I see the of your example text which is trying to be parse out:
<a onmouseover="EnterContent('ToolTip','תווית על בגד: ’’תן לאישה לכבס. זה תפקידה’’','כתב: Spook בתאריך: 08.03.15 שעה: 22:11 מחאת טוויטר קמה בעקבות תוויות שוביניסטיות שהדפיסה חברת אופנה באינדונזיה לפיהן תפקיד הכביסה מוטל על האישה. החברה התנצלה אך כנראה רק עשתה רק יותר נזק לע...'); Activate();">";
It appears to me that the escapes `’` does not have matching `“` anywhere within the tooltip. So it appears that the page properly places left quotes in when processing the page, but the raw html has broken text.
Hence a garbage in, garbage out situation.

Here's are two example for what you are looking for
Re: Load xml data in Oracle table
Re: insert .xml file into xmltype table?
First you need to create a DIRECTORY object. That is how Oracle works and it expects a DIRECTORY object instead of a physical path when performing operations that read/write from disk. The directory path provided to the CREATE DIRECTORY command must be a directory that the machine Oracle DB resides on can see.
Then you can go either of two routes. You can INSERT that XML directly into a table, as shown in the second link I provided or you can read it into PL/SQL as the first link shows. Then in either case, you can use SQL to parse the XML for you.
Depending upon your needs, you may get better performance if you insert the XML into a table as the second link shows, assuming the XMLType column is stored as SECUREFILE BINARY XML.

Generating XML from Database using XSQL

Hi ,
I have been using Reports as an intermidiate to generate XML (by giving concurrent program o/p type as XML). Now, i want it to be done from SQL or PL/SQL. I am able to achieve this using XSQL functions. I placed the SQL in a .sql file and registered it as a concurrent program. It was giving me XML output.
I have two problems here.
1. How can i know whether i have generated valid xml or not?
2. When i am linking this concurrent program to XML Publisher, publisher is not able to read thie output from the concurrent prograam. It is erroring out. Why?
Thanks
sap

Save the XML file - try to open it with IE and/or Firefox.
If that doesn't work you know already something is wrong.
You may try to cut&paste it into notepad and save as UTF-8.
Then try it out with the Template Builder for Wrod.
If you can't figure it out and run the report with a SMALL dataset six (ie. 1)
and post it here.

Bursting XML from Database

Hi,
i am a newbie at BI Publisher.
My question: We are getting a xml-file out of a clob-field from a database and generate a report. but in the xml file are more costumers and we want to split the report by the customer. Is it possible?
Greetz

Yes, use the bursting in BIP.
To test it out,
load the xml into demo files location.
and try creating report based on that xml. and select the bursting option, you will see all the nodes from xml over there.
select customer element as the split by.
create template as need and specify the location the files to be created.
the xml will be split based on the bursting split by and output will be having files for customer

Xml from database

Hi,
I am new to XML, XSL etc. So, pardon my question if it seems
too basic.
I wish to read from an Oracle 8.x database and construct an
html page using XML, XSL etc.
1. How can I do that using using OAS 4.x, pl/sql or Java ?
2. Is there any tutorial or documentation to get started ?
I would appreciate any pointers.
regards,
null

If you have access to Oracle 8i (8.1.5) you can download the XML
SQL Utility and the XSQL Servlet to do what you want. If HTML
is your end format you should also check out WebDB.

Generate schema-base XML from XML fragments

I have a defined .xsd file and an incoming xml file that I am inspecting in a BEFORE INSERT trigger. I registered the xml schema to create a single column table of xmltype. The incoming xml consists of a root node and two data nodes. There are 3 elements on the first data node that need to have their value updated before the xml doc is inserted into the xmltype Oracle table.
I was trying to find a way to use updateXML(), but that seems to work only for an existing row in the table. I then turned my attention to createXML(). I grabbed the root node and two data nodes and built 3 different clob's. One of the clob's contains an updated data node. Then I am doing the following:
:new.sys_nc_rowinfo$ := createXML(clob1||clob2||clob3, registeredURL);
registeredURL contains the URL that was registed in the schema. While it seems that the signature of the createXML() function is correct (I get no compile errors), the results are not valid per the schema. Is there a way in PL/SQL to do what I am trying to do? Seems like a pretty simple concept.

Installing Peoplesoft Database schema into an *existing* database ?

Are there explicit restrictions against installing a Peoplesoft schema (SYSADM) into an existing database where other application schemas are already present ?
If it is permissible, are there real-world experiences with such an implementation ?
What are the pros and cons ?
So far my experience has been 1 Peoplesoft Schema in a "Peoplesoft-Only" database.
Hemant K Chitale

Hi Hemant,
Having more than one Peoplesoft application in one database is really painful.
First, on security and setting level, have multiple symbolic id (SYSADM1, SYSADM2...) implies different symbolicid for all the users.
Then, you may have some troubles to tune the database if appl and usage are differents between each other. Without saying about tables/tablespaces...
It is so much easier, scalable and reliable to have one-to-one relationship between appl and database that I do not see anything good to get all-in-one.
I worked on such config few years ago (FSCM and HRMS in one database), after few months of production, the maintenance was really became a nightmare, a project has been made to cut it in pieces.
It has been strongly recommanded by Peoplesoft to avoid multiple appl in one database for years.
Now I'm re-reading your post, you may ask about an other appl (other than PS) within a PS appl into one db... never done such thing, but again, each appl have their own usage and specificities. It could be even worse since each appl ignore the other one, I would tend to avoid that.

Enterprise SecMgr: Can't add Database Schema Mapping to OracleDefaultDomain

Hello,
I'm trying to configure Enterprise Users (using a shared schema) and within EntSecMgr, I select...
Realms / MyID realm / Enterprise Domains / OracleDefaultDomain / Enterprise Roles / OracleDefaultDomain / Database Schema Mapping
and from there, I try to add the Directory Entry and schema. I don't get any errors when I click "OK", but the Database Schema mapping does not "take".
I notice the little icon next to OracleDefaultDomain (in ESM) has a "lock", so perhaps it's read-only? How can I change that, or where should I be assigning the Database Schema mapping, if not in the OracleDefaultDomain?

I never did figure out why I can't add the Database Schema Mapping to the OracleDefaultDomain, but I used ESM to add the schema mapping directly to the database itself, and now my Enterprise Users can login.
