How do I Load a clob from an XML field in an XMLTYPE using XMLTABLE ?

Question

I am trying to load data into a CLOB from a XML field using XMLTABLE.
I have a SUMMARY xml field with over 100 K of data (potentialy)
and I can load all the other datatype fields to columns but can not load the xml fields over 4000 characters.
example
First I create a table of XMLTYPE. I need to sqlload new files in at regular intervals.
Create table WEB_XML of XMLTYPE;
Then I create my relational table....
create table WEB_WORKING
request_id varchar(10),
ref_number varchar(20),
summary clob
The I use the .ctl file to sqlload the xml data in
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE WEB_XML
append
xmltype(XMLDATA)
ext_fname filler char(90),
XMLDATA LOBFILE(ext_fname) TERMINATED BY EOF
BEGINDATA
XMLFILE1.xml
After loading the WEB_XML table using sqlldr, I try to load my relational table using XMLTable
INSERT into WEBBAR_WORKING
request_id ,
ref_number ,
summary
SELECT X.* FROM WEB_XML P2,
XMLTable ( '//Request//REQUESTVIEW'
PASSING P2.object_value
COLUMNS
"request_id" VARCHAR(10) PATH 'REQUEST_ID',
"ref_number" VARchar(20) PATH 'REF_NUMBER',
"SUMMARY" clob PATH 'SUMMARY'
) AS X;
This gives an error saying its not expecting clob
My XML looks somthing like
-<Request>
-<REQUESTVIEW>
<REQUEST_ID>3140</REQUEST_ID>
<ref_number>2003-04-02</RECEIVED_DATE>
<SUMMARY>
OVER 100 K of data
</SUMMARY>
</REQUESTVIEW>
</Request>

Answer 1

ok
that helped lot, im getting there however some more help please
This SQL
SELECT request_id, recieved_by, X.SUMMARY.getClobVal()
FROM WEB_XML P2,
XMLTable
'//Request//REQUESTVIEW'
PASSING P2.object_value
COLUMNS
"request_id" VARCHAR(10) PATH 'REQUEST_ID',
"received_by" VARCHAR(10) PATH 'RECEIVED_BY',
"SUMMARY" xmltype PATH 'SUMMARY'
) AS X;
SELECT request_id, recieved_by, X.SUMMARY.getClobVal()
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00904: "RECIEVED_BY": invalid identifier
If I use the X.request_id, X.received_by ......
i get the error message
Package or function is in aan invalid state.
But this SQL was successful in getting the clob by itself but with the XML tgs around it still, how do I strip the XML tags from around this result ?
SELECT X.SUMMARY.getClobVal()
FROM WEBBAR_XML P2,
XMLTable
'//Request//REQUESTVIEW'
PASSING P2.object_value
COLUMNS
"SUMMARY" XMLTYPE PATH 'SUMMARY'
) AS X;
