Generating Nested XML Documents

Hi,
We want to generate nested XML documents from sql queries using pl/sql.
If the output of the query is
EMPNO NAME MGRNO
1 Super Admin 0
2 Mgr1 1
4 SubMgr1_1 2
5 SubMgr2_1 2
3 Mgr2 1
6 SubMgr1_2 3
then XML generated should be in the format
Super Admin
Mgr1
SubMgr1_1
SubMgr2_1
Mgr2
SubMgr1_2
Your early response is appreciated.
Thanks.

No, the id is not unique, it is part of the data. Also, I don't need to update the XML document.
I store the data part (id, status, nodenum) in the "resp" table with a primary key as a combination of id and some other info. The table "nodes" will have a foreign key and multiple occurrences of node. Same with table "restricts" with multiple restrict.
Do I need to create a DOM tree then store each part of the XML into appropriate tables? And how do I do that? (which APIs, etc.)
Thanks,
Thuvan

Generating nested XML with XSU

Hi,
I have been trying to generate a nested XML document with the
XSU Utility (Rdbms 9.0.1) by setting up an nested table (see below)
and the using the command line utiliy as:
c:\>java OracleXML getXML -user "scott/tiger" "SELECT * from dept_type_tab
The result is nested all right, but all texts seem to be in Hex representation:
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1">
<DEPT>
<DNAME>0x5245534541524348</DNAME>
<EMP>
<ENAME>0x534D495448</ENAME>
</EMP>
</DEPT>
</ROW>
Can anyone point out to me, where I went wrong? ;-(
Thanx for any input

Generating an XML Document from an internal table in ABAP

Good day to all of you;
With ABAP, in the R/3 system, I'm trying to figure out a way to accomplish the following:
1) SELECT a set of Purchase Order data into an internal table.
2) Generate an XML document, containing the above data, using a specific schema.
I've been playing around with function module SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT which has the following interface:
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT'
      EXPORTING
      I_FIELD_SEPERATOR    = ''
      I_LINE_HEADER        = ''
        I_FILENAME           = v_fname
      I_APPL_KEEP          = ''
      I_XML_DOC_NAME      = v_docname
      IMPORTING
        PE_BIN_FILESIZE      = v_byte
      TABLES
        I_TAB_SAP_DATA       = i_SapData
      CHANGING
        I_TAB_CONVERTED_DATA = i_XMLData
      EXCEPTIONS
        CONVERSION_FAILED    = 1
        OTHERS               = 2.
I'm uncertain as to whether or not the Export parameter, I_XML_DOC_NAME refers to some schema or definition and therefore have been excluding it. In doing so, the generated XML document seems to use the field name/type information from my itab for the tags.
If this function module requires an XML Document Name, how do I create one and where do I store it in R/3? If this is not the recommended solution, is anyone familiar with a way to load an XML schema, retrieve some data then have SAP generate an XML document using the schema?
Many thanks for any help available.

<result>
<type>A</type>
<id>1</id>

V_Insert stores the required result.
How do I save this result to a XML Document?
Please help.

How do you include a DTD when generating an XML document

Hi
I have just started to use the Java XML Pack to generate a XML document.
How do you put the dtd element
<!DOCTYPE Controller SYSTEM "controller.dtd">
in the generated document.
I am using the following piece of code
public void generate(...)
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
document = builder.newDocument();
Element rootElement = createElement("Controller");
// Fill out the nodes etc
// Save the result
TransformerFactory tFactory =
TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = Factory.newTransformer();
File f = new File("dummy.xml");
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(f);
DOMSource d1 = new
DOMSource(rootElement,"controller.dtd");
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(fw);
transformer.transform(d1, result);
Thanks

Hello,
I had to go through quite some pain to get this done about a year ago,anyways,here is the solution.
all the import files are in jaxp1.1 bundle.
below is a test class code.
import org.apache.crimson.tree.XmlDocument;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
import java.io.*;
public class CreateDTDInXMLFile {
public CreateDTDInXMLFile() {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = builder.newDocument();
Element root = document.createElement("root");
Element name = document.createElement("name");
name.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Khalid"));
Element address = document.createElement("address");
address.appendChild(document.createTextNode("2022 11th Ave SW"));
root.appendChild(name);
root.appendChild(address);
document.appendChild(root);
((XmlDocument)document).write(System.out);
//the above will print the simple xml doc,now add the dtd
//suppose the dtd is [<!DOCTYPE root SYSTEM "address.dtd">]
((XmlDocument)document).setDoctype(null,"address.dtd",null);
//now print the xml doc again
System.out.println("\n");
((XmlDocument)document).write(System.out);
} catch(ParserConfigurationException pce) {
pce.printStackTrace();
return;
}catch (IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace();
This will take care of the agony..

How to generate nested xml from a resultset

there is a table which contains two field:key and fatherkey.
like this:
key fatherkey
node1 root
node2 node1
node3 node2
a tree can be builded from the table by recursion of key and fatherkey.
now I want to use this table to generate a xml buffer.
like this:
<nodes>
<node>
<key>node1</key>
<fkey>root</fkey>
<node>
<key>node2</key>
<fkey>node1</fkey>
<node>
<key>node3</key>
<fkey>node2</fkey>
</node>
</node>
</node>
</nodes>
if oracle special sql --"Connect by" can be used ,it is so easy.
but I can only use ansi sql.
how to generate the xml?

Generating an xml document from SQLplus

Dear list,
We have over 240 database tables in our tablespace, which we would like to very quickly export to an xml file.
Is there any solution ?
regards
Ben

Are the xml documents stored in a XMLType column?
XMLType tables may be retrieved as XML.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/codesnippet/xmldb/transformxml/TransformXML.html
For tables with non-XMLType columns retrieve the document with XSU utility.

How can i use a xsd while generating my xml document in oracle?

Hi, how can i use a xsd while building my xml document query, so i know the xml was built properly?
Cheers.

Hi,
Do you want to validate your xml against xsd?
Read this
validating
There are some bugs also, for example xml is invalid but no errors when calling schemaValidate()

SQL query to generate Nested XML

Hello,
I use Oracle 11g R2 SOE....
I have two main tables
COMMERCIALS_PROPERTIES (com_id number PK , com_size number, project_id number, com_type number)
COM_PHOTOS (ID number PK , com_id number FK, content blob, mimetype varchar2)
Please, note the following has nothing to do with my problem:
CONTENT and MIMETYPE columns. Also, the lookup tables: PROJECTS , COM_TYPE
In APEX ( Application Express ) we can expose a report as RESTful web service in XML format:
I am using this query to generate the XML 1 feed, but I need to tweak the query to generate XML 2 feed.
Is it possible, how to do it ???

Hi, Fateh
One possible way is to use XML functions to create your XML.
Using XML functions you can do the IMAGES as an XMLAGG subquery rather than join to the image table.
Here's an example using SCOTT schema:
SQL> select xmlelement(
2            "ROWSET"
3          , xmlagg(
4               xmlelement(
5                  "ROW"
6                , xmlforest(
7                     d.deptno as "ID"
8                   , d.dname as "NAME"
9                   , (
10                        select xmlagg(
11                                  xmlelement(
12                                     "ImgUrl"
13                                   , 'http://the.server.com/'||e.empno
14                                  )
15                                  order by e.empno
16                               )
17                          from scott.emp e
18                         where e.deptno = d.deptno
19                     ) as "Images"
20                  )
21               )
22               order by d.deptno
23            )
24         ) the_xml
25    from scott.dept d
26    /* joins to the other tables EXCEPT image table */
27 /
THE_XML
<ROWSET><ROW><ID>10</ID><NAME>ACCOUNTING</NAME><Images><ImgUrl>http://the.serverThat output is an XMLTYPE column (think of it as a CLOB with added functionality ;-) )
My SQL*PLUS cuts the output, but believe me, it is all there.
Just to show it, here's the same example wrapped in an XMLSERIALIZE function to pretty-print the XML:
SQL> select xmlserialize(
2            content
3            xmlelement(
4               "ROWSET"
5             , xmlagg(
6                  xmlelement(
7                     "ROW"
8                   , xmlforest(
9                        d.deptno as "ID"
10                      , d.dname as "NAME"
11                      , (
12                           select xmlagg(
13                                     xmlelement(
14                                        "ImgUrl"
15                                      , 'http://the.server.com/'||e.empno
16                                     )
17                                     order by e.empno
18                                  )
19                             from scott.emp e
20                            where e.deptno = d.deptno
21                        ) as "Images"

</ROWSET>For a webservice you do not need to pretty-print the XML that is returned by the webservice.
I do not know APEX, so I do not know if APEX supports exposing an allready built piece of XML rather than exposing a query result.
But my guess is that it should do it very nicely if you query an XMLTYPE datatype (that is - use the first of my examples rather than the pretty-printed one.)
If you can't get APEX to do it this way, then I suggest you try asking in the APEX forum rather than the SQL forum ;-)

Generate nested XML using OracleXMLQuery generates error

Hello,
I have oracle 8.1.6 with XSQL 1.0.4 and need to generate XML out of a query that contains the // init the OracleXMLQuery
OracleXMLQuery qry = new OracleXMLQuery(conn, query);
// shape the XML doc generated
qry.setMaxRows(2); // set the maximum number of rows to be returned
qry.setSkipRows(3); // numbers of rows to skipped
qry.setRowsetTag("MYDOC"); // set the tags encapsulating the whole doc
qry.setRowTag("RECORD"); // sets the row separator tag
qry.setRowIdAttrName("cnt"); // sets the id attribute of the row element
qry.useNullAttributeIndicator(true); // use attr. to indicate nullness
qry.useUpperCaseTagNames(); // use upper case tag names
qry.setErrorTag("ERR"); // tag for errors writen to XML doc
XMLDocument myXMLDocument = (XMLDocument)qry.getXMLDOM();
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
myXMLDocument.print(out);
out.close();null

I have exactly the same problem by using XSU.
If somebody solve it already ?
David, can you please provide more information or small example, how can I extract OracleConnection or Oracle Specific Driver inside the Weblogic App. Server and not generic weblogic.jdbc.rmi.SerialConnection instance.
I'm using Oracle thinDriver on Oracle8i.
Thank you in advance.

have seen similar problems with wrapped jdbc driver being passed into Weblogic pool service and then cast back into OracleDriver after getting it back from Weblogic's JNDI DataSource lookup ...the Oracle extensions do not seem to survive Weblogic's jdbc pool services handling. I have gone over to running all my connection pools in Oracle's own namespace jdbc_access:// for JNDI lookups on DataSource pools instead. Much happier. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

New to XML, need to generate XML document

I have an existing application that uses an Oracle 9.2.0.3 database. An existing PL/SQL procedure generates a flat file interface using UTL_FILE. My task is to upgrade this procedure to generate an XML file and transform this XML file into different outputs (e.g. flat file interface, PDF file which I plan to use XSL Formatting Objects). My question is how should I generate the XML document from the PL/SQL procedure? Should I use the Oracle 9i SQL/XML capabilities? specifically xmlelement, etc? An if so should I also use UTL_FILE to generate the XML file? Your help will be appreciated.

Williams,
Do you want to generate an XML file from the data present in relational tables using PL/SQL ?
In that case you can use XML SQL Utility(XSU).
For more information on XSU click [url http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/appdev.920/a96621/adx23xsp.htm#1008317]here.
