Help Needed Importing XML into a Database

Hi:
I'm new to Appleworks databases. I would like to create a database by importing records from a large XML file containing thousands of records. Is there a user's guide (or something else) I could read to help me do this? I have the schema for the XML file.
Thanks,

AppleWorks is a flat-file database and not a relational database. It will import ASCII text files ie tab-delimited data (TSV file format).
You need to write an XSL template to convert your XML data into a TSV or CSV. I'd be surprised if there already wasn't the basics of a XSL template that could do this on Google.

Help needed adding xml into website

I am looking for some help adding a few .xml files into my
website using Dreamweaver
First ..I would like to add the following RDS.xml file below.
I would like it to go into a box that is 100 x 100 px
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <Playing station="HAWK">
- <item type="MUS">
<DateTime>Thu 10:52AM</DateTime>
<Cart />
<Artist>THE ROLLING STONES</Artist>

</Playing>
Second ..an event.xml file that will scroll info with box
dimensions of 400 px w x 30 px h.
Both xml files would be on my site in a user_files folder
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Rob

It means that you can't just plop in XML in the middle of
your HTML. Your
pages are HTML, so the XML needs to be transformed in to HTML
first. There
are various ways to do this. Are you using PHP? ASP? Etc.
Once we know that,
we can narrow down a solution for you.

Howto import XML into Excel table ?

Hi,
I asked this before in the Excel forums but received the suggestion that I ask here instead. The question precis : How to ungrey the "Append new data to existing XML lists" checkbox so I can select it when importing XML data into an Excel
spreadsheet.
I have a local server which provides data in XML form and need to import successive reloads of the XML page into successive lines in an Excel spreadsheet. I found the Excel help page entitled "How to use XML in Excel 2003" at http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/excel-help/how-to-use-xml-in-excel-2003-HA001101964.aspx?CTT=1&origin=EC001022986
which was useful in so far as permitting me to import the data using the XML Source task pane and mapping the elements I need from the XML source to columns in the spreadsheet.
In order to append successive lines from the XML source page, as I understand it from the link I quoted, I need to change the XML Map properties to "Append new data to existing XML lists". However this checkbox is greyed out in the
XML Map properties dialog box so I can't select it.
Any ideas how I can achieve my aims here ?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Hi Mike,
Thank you for contacting Office IT Pro General Discussions Services.
From your description, I understand that you tried to import XML into Excel table. You selected “Use the XML Source
task pane” when opening the XML file, then you tried to check the option in the
Map Properties window: "Append new data to existing XML lists".
However, this option is grayed out. If there is any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.
I have checked the issue on my side but could not reproduce this issue. I suggest download the sample XML file as suggested on the page and test the
issue again:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=B4BD3283-AD0B-408D-9CE7-AB9C3537BBBB&displaylang=en
If the problem does not occur with the sample XML file, this issue might occur as there are some problems with the XML you were using.
If the problem also occurs in with the sample XML file, this issue might be related to some third-party software conflicts. I suggest checking this
issue by starting Excel in the safe mode.
Start the Office program in safe mode
==============
1.
Click Start, point to All Programs, and then point to
Microsoft Office.
2.
Press and hold the CTRL key, and then click
Microsoft Excel.
If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Excel program, we can try to disable
them. Normally, you could do the following to disable the conflict add-ins in your Excel program:
Disable add-ins
Click
Tools > Options >
Add-in, click Go button in the Manage:
Com-in Add.
Check if there are any add-ins,
clear the checkbox to disable them.
Close the Office program and
restart it.
Add one check back each time to the list of Add-In,
restart the Office program, and repeat the above procedure. Once the issue reappears again, we can determine which add-in causes this problem and then disable it.
Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything
I can do for you, please feel free to let me know.
Best Regards,
Sally Tang

XML into Mysql Database

Hi,
I recently purchased The Dreamweaver developer toolbox, and I thought there was a behavior to import an XML file into a database (because dreamweaver bought interakt software http://www.interaktonline.com/Products/Dreamweaver-Extensions/XMLImport-Export/Statement/ )
But now I see it isn't possible anymore.
Is there someone who can help me to find a decent extention (php/mysql) to import an external xml into mysql database?
Kind Regards,

Help needed in setting up Japanese Database

Hi there,
Help needed in setting up Japanese Database.
I created database with UTF8 character set on Sun Solaris O/S.
Oracle version 8.1.7.
I am accessing the DB through SQL*Plus (Windows client).
I downloaded the Japanese font on client side and also set the NLS_LANG environment variable to Japanese_Japan.UTF8. Still, I am not able to view Japanese characters. O/S on client side is Windows 2000 professional (English). Is O/S (client) need to be Japanese O/S? When I try to retrieve sysdate, its displaying in Japanese but not all characters in Japanese. Can anyone help me out how to set up the client and is there any parameters to be setup at server side? I also tried to insert japanese characters into table through client, but it displaying as "?????" characters. Any help in this regard is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
-Shankar

lol
your program is working just fine.
do you know what accept does? if not read below.
serversocket.accept() is where java stops and waits for a (client)socket to connect to it.
only after a socket has connected wil the program continue.
try putting the accept() in its own little thread and let it wait there while your program continues in another thread

Can't Figure Out How To Import XML into a Table?

HELP!
I've been using InDesign for several years now... but everything Ive ever done has been basic one off layout concepts.
I am working on a website for a musical theater actress and for her resume, Id like to make a PDF which lists in table format the show, theatre and role she had for each job.
I could do this manually... but Id really like to learn how to just reuse the same XML data that I have for her website and import it into InDesign.
I have looked at Adobe's help file, I have scoured the internet, and I still can't figure it out... I have done like the adobe support file says... and I cant seem to get the values I create in her resume xml file to show up in a table I create in InDesign.
I even tried to simplify it for the learning process and did something as basic as an XML file that has 5 colors... couldnt even get that working.
So could someone explain it to me like Im a 5 year old... how to take a XML file, import it, place it in a table and have the data actually show up in the table.
thanks,
brian

Are you sure you want to use XML with tables for this? No doubt importing XML into tables is useful for some specialized tasks, such as importing formatting information inside the XML itself, but for most of the familiar tasks that XML excels at, tables are neither necessary nor useful.
In my (limited) experience, if the XML elements are well-differentiated, by which I mean different types of data have their own distinctive tags, then the special powers of XML can be exploited more fully using the more familiar tagged text, nested tags etc. in ordinary text frames using paragraph breaks, tab characters, etc. to achieve a suitably "tabular" finished appearance.
If you must import XML into tables, I recommend Adobe's own PDF "Adobe InDesign CS3 and XML: A Technical Reference" availabe here:
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/indesign/articles/indcs3ip_xmlrules.pdf
It sounds very daunting -- the words "technical reference" make me shudder -- but actually it's very readable and not very technical at all. Some nice pics and everything!

Is it possible to import xml into Adobe Muse to populate content similar to InDesign?

Is it possible to import xml into Adobe Muse to populate content similar to InDesign?

The only way I see this would be possible is through using JS that you can insert using the Object -> Insert HTML option, you may grab the XML to HTML code from here - http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_to_html.asp
In order to test this out, simply download the sample XML file from the following location - http://www.w3schools.com/xml/cd_catalog.xml and save it somewhere locally. Now add this file to your Muse project using File -> Add Files for Upload option, it would then appear within the Assets panel.
Add the code to your page and update the path referencing the file cd_catalog.xml to assets/cd_catalog.xml. Now on previewing the page in browser, you should see the populated HTML from the XML.
Thanks,
Vinayak

Importing XML into Java. Help needed Please!!!

Hi,
I have downloaded j2sdk1.4.1_05 and want to configure it to import XML files into a DOM in Java. I am having trouble doing this and need help. I read that version 1.4 support JAXP 1.1 but I am having trouble finding the JAXP-api.jar file. It says to put all the other Jar files into a folder and leave the JAXP-api.jar.
Could you please tell me how to set up Java so that I can import an XML file. I also downloaded JAXP 1.2. But there seems to be no installer.
Thanx John

You can learn about reading xml in java by reading the J2EE tutorial at
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/
Here is sample program to read XML file into a DOM taken from this tutorial
(http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/JAXPXSLT4.html)
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError;

import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
import org.xml.sax.SAXParseException;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.DOMException;

static Document document;
public static void main(String argv[])
    if (argv.length != 1) {
      System.err.println (
        "Usage: java TransformationApp filename");
      System.exit (1);
    DocumentBuilderFactory factory =
      DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    //factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
    //factory.setValidating(true);
    try {
      File f = new File(argv[0]);
      DocumentBuilder builder =
        factory.newDocumentBuilder();
      document = builder.parse(f);
    } catch (SAXParseException spe) {
      // Error generated by the parser
      System.out.println("\n** Parsing error"
        + ", line " + spe.getLineNumber()
        + ", uri " + spe.getSystemId());
      System.out.println(" " + spe.getMessage() );
      // Use the contained exception, if any
      Exception x = spe;
      if (spe.getException() != null)
        x = spe.getException();
      x.printStackTrace();
    } catch (SAXException sxe) {
      // Error generated by this application
      // (or a parser-initialization error)
      Exception x = sxe;
      if (sxe.getException() != null)
        x = sxe.getException();
      x.printStackTrace();
    } catch (ParserConfigurationException pce) {
      // Parser with specified options can't be built
      pce.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException ioe) {
      // I/O error
      ioe.printStackTrace();
} // main
} If you have java 1.4 sdk installed everything should compile and run. Separate
JAXP package is nor required - JAXP is included in rt.jar in java-home-directory/jre/lib.

Help needed Importing a string from labview into matlab for file opening

Hello,
I am using labview to allow the user to pick the file to open via the
open labview measurement file block. Then I take the filename and
convert it from a path to a string and try to import it into my matlab
script which I use dlmread() to open my data file. However the
datafile does not open. I was wondering if anyone would help me with
this method?
Thank you,

Hi Nicole,
Are you using the Matlab Script Node or the MathScript Node? I know that dlmread is not currently implement with MathScript (although R&D is looking at implementing further features for future versions of LabVIEW). Also, I'm not sure which VI you are using to get the file path because there isn't an "Open LabVIEW Measurement File" VI. There are Read & Write LVM and a simple Open\Create\Replace File VI--are you using one of these? If you are using the Open File VI, Matlab may be unable to read from the file because it is already locked for editing by LabVIEW.
I hope this helps!

Unable to import xml into my CS4 project

Hi folks,
I am trying to embed a 3rd party flash component into my current flash project. As a stand alone, the component works fine but when I try and import the xml file for the component into my current flash project library, the message I get:
" one or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them"!!!
I have tried importing the xml file into another dummy cs4 project on another machine and again no success, so I believe there are elements within the xml file that will not work with cs4. Below is the xml file code. I would appreciate if anyone can spot anything wrong with this file as to why it wont import into flash. Even try and import it yourself and see what I mean.
Hope someone can help.

Hi there,
Thank you for responding. When I say component, I have purchased a flash component from a company called www.flabell.com. When you buy the component, you get the as, swf, assest, images, fla etc etc.
My goal is to embed this component into a flash project that I am working on at the moment which involves importing the assets/resources from the flabell component folder into the library of my current flash project.
My folder structure at the moment is that I have top level folder call project. In this folder is my actual flash project folder and the flabell component folder. So no the html that embeds my main swf is not in the same folder as my 3 party swf - they are in two different locations. However should this be an issue if I am importing the xml into my main project library anyway?
Hope this info shines more light.

Issue after succesfully loading xml into 11gr2 database

Hi All,
I'm currently experiencing an issue with a project I'm working on at a customer:
I have succesfully loaded multiple xml files into the Oracle 11gr2 database using sqlloader and since the intention is to be able to query the loaded data, it needs
to be transferred from the xml table to a 'normal' table, which also went ok.
Since most of the XML files contain multiple records, i've used the fn:string-join option in the insert into....select statement and used a ; as delimiter.
This is where I've encountered the thing that I can't seem to find a solution for.
When there's multiple records in the xml file it inserts all the records into one record.
So say i've got an xml file containing info for a bunch of electricity meters consisting of the fields brand, supplier, type for 3 records (actual files can be uploaded if neccesary)
inserting the data by using the above construction gives me the following data in the destination table:
Brand
BrandA;BrandB;BrandC
Supplier
Company1;Company2;Company3
Type
Type1;Type2;Type3
How do I split up the above info so that every separate record from the imported xml file lands in its own record?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
E.
