How to extract xml tag name contains dashes

Hi, How to parse XML file to extract root tag contains dashes in Flex,for example
XML Input is: <regular-body>Text of my post...</regular-body>
expected output is : regular-body
I appreciate any of your suggestions or inputs

Do you want to get the name of the XML ELEMENT regular-body, or the value in the XML file "Text of my post...".
If its the latter, then you could use the bracket/quote notation for extracting the value, like in the following example:
image = xmlWeather[0]..parameters["conditions-icon"]["icon-link"][idx]
I use this when parsing weather information from a 3rd party in which their XML is loaded with dashes.
If you are looking to get the actual element name, not sure how to do that. I would think that if you are using an XML file, you would have at least the high level element known.

Document contains too many nodes error when extracting xml tag name

I Have a large xml file in which the tag contains ~: as the value.
Now I am trying to extract all the tags which have ~: as the value and store that column using the following query and insert into a table.
insert into space_md select distinct xmltype(extract(value(x), '/').getstringval()).getrootelement() COLUMN_NAME
from gt_xmltype_tab gt, TABLE(XMLSequence(extract(gt.xmlfile1, '/ROWSET/ROW/*'))) x
where instr(extract(value(x),'/').getstringval(),'~:') > 1;
The xml file was generated using dbms_xmlgen.getxml. Table has 48 columns and around 4000 rows.
My above insert query gave me an error of 31186 too many nodes error.
I am using oracle version 10.2.0.3.
Following are the set of commands I ran....
SQL> insert into gt_xmltype_tab(xmlfile1)
values(XMLType(bfilename('BKUP_RES','QC.xml'),nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8'))); 2
1 row created.
SQL> SQL>
SQL> insert into restore_space_metadata select distinct 'QC', xmltype(extract(value(x), '/').getstringval()).getrootelement() COLUMN_NAME
2 from gt_xmltype_tab gt, TABLE(XMLSequence(extract(gt.xmlfile1, '/ROWSET/ROW/*'))) x
3 where instr(extract(value(x),'/').getstringval(),'~:') > 1;
insert into restore_space_metadata select distinct 'QC', xmltype(extract(value(x), '/').getstringval()).getrootelement() COLUMN_NAME
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-31186: Document contains too many nodes
Is there a better way of extracting the xml tag element name based on the xmltag content?
There is one other table which has 172 columns but only 100 rows so it doesnt create any problem on that table.
But this QC table has less columns but many many rows...
Any suggestions

There is a requiremnent of taking centain type of data backup and restore it.
It was implemented on flat file approach which was giving errors.
So it was implemented using XML approach.
Read data, store in xml file and read from xml file and load it into table.
Further, found that dbms_xmlstore is not able to handle tag only with whitespace
and tried to use the loading xml file into xmltype table column and extract data.
XMLTYPE column also has same problem of ignoring whitespace when used with extractvalue functions.
So for the workaround I update xmlfile having only one more more whitespace in the tag to have ~: character once.
After restoring data from xml to table I would run update qeury to update ~: to " ".
Now instead of running blind update for all the tables and all the columns from ~: to " " I thouhgt whyy not create a xml file of tag having ~:
along with its tablename.
and thats where I found the problem of too many nodes...
THe insert query you saw is populating table for table_name and column_name with tag having only ~: in it.
I hope this gives you the fair idea of stuff I am doing.

How to get xml tag name?

Hi all
I've selected some texts and I want to get its xml element name not root element. I've done this

and I get only the document's root element name.
Any suggessions please.

Hello Dirk
I've looked there. But I dont understand which one one will satisfy my need. There are "QueryDocElement" and "QueryRootElement" and their definitions say that it will return root element of doc/database.
please i need ur suggessions further.

Character '$' is not allowed in an XML tag name. /ERROR

Hi,
I was testing cli command java OracleXML getXML ....
getting following error result:
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<ERROR>oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Character '$' is not allowed in an XML tag name.</ERROR>
This was because the database column name included $ characters.
Question 1: Is it possible use getXML/putXML cli operations for tables containig these $ columns
and how?
Now I found the method setSQLToXMLNameEscaping(true) and tried the same query using the modified
sample java code of XSU documentation. This time I got error result:
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<ERROR>oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: You are using an old version of the gss library; thus, sql-xml name escaping is not supported.</ERROR>
Question 2: What is this gss library and is there up-to-date version available - and will it solve my
$ problem?

How to get the tag name into javascript

Hi,
Is there any way to get the tag name into java script when user clicks on.
For eg: if i use netui:anchor tag, how can I pass the tag id to the javascript when user clicks on the link using onClick attribute. This tag id needs to be evaluated at run time.
Ex code is given below.
function fun1(){
// how to get the tag name;
<%
String st="hai";
%>
<netui:anchor action="x" onClick="fun1()" tagId="<%=st%>>
I want to get this tagId (st) to the java script function fun1() when user clicks on this link. How can I do that. can you please help in this issue.
Thanks,
Satish.

Hi,
You can set the java variable as a js variable at run time:
<script>
var anchorName = <%=getNetuiTagName%>;
function fun1()
var anchorID = getNetuiTagName(anchorName);
alert(anchorID);// this will show the rendered ID for the anchor specified
</script>
this works because the jsp variable will be rendered before the js.
Thanks,
Steve

Can HOST name (computer name) contain dashes ??

Can the HOST name contain dashes, such as...
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = My-Pentium-PC)(PORT = 1521))
On a stand-alone Windows-98 system, I am having trouble getting the 9i listener to work properly while trying to connect to the 9i database from Forms/Reports 6i. And I remember from the class I took that Orcale sometimes does not like dashes in certain things.

Ed,
To be on the safer side, why not use the IP address of the machine as the host name. Since you are not to sure of it.
I hope this will help.
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 111.12.23.45)(PORT = 1521))

When I start Firefox, I get this alert message "[JavaScript Application] XML tag name mismatch (expected META)". What is this message?

My firefox updated today automatically, and then when it started up, it displayed this alert message:
"[JavaScript Application] XML tag name mismatch (expected META)"
I can press OK and my browser then works just fine and I can go to websites and what-not. I have not run across any problems or anything. I am just wondering what this alert message means and if I should fix it?
I tried closing the browser and pulling it back up, and the same message was displayed. Also, if I open a new window the same message is displayed. But it is only displayed right when I open the browser, and does not show up anytime while using the browser.

If you click the Home button from another page, does the error repeat? If so, what is your home page?
When Firefox starts, it fires up a lot of add-ons. A standard diagnostic for add-on issues is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."
Do you still get the message? If not, one of your add-ons might not be fully compatible with Firefox 14 or might need an update.

I want to extract the element name and the element value from this file. I was trying to do it this way:
SELECT datetime,
loc.aeci_value,
loc.eei_value
FROM temp_xmltype txml,
XMLTABLE ('/nsiData' PASSING xmldata) misolmp,
XMLTABLE ('/nsiData/instance' PASSING misolmp.object_value
COLUMNS
datetime VARCHAR2(100) PATH '/instance/@timestamp') misodt,
XMLTABLE ('/nsiData/instance' PASSING misolmp.object_value
COLUMNS
aeci_value VARCHAR2(100) PATH '/instance/AECI',
eei_value VARCHAR2(100) PATH '/instance/EEI') loc
WHERE txml.feed_id = 127
But doing it this way does not get me AECI as a column value. Is there any way to get the element name as a column value.
I am on 11gR2

The SQL statement you wrote returns 4 rows and there is only two AECI values in there. The corrected version of what you wrote should really be
SELECT loc.datetime,
       loc.aeci_value,
       loc.eei_value
FROM temp_xmltype txml,
       XMLTABLE ('/nsiData/instance' PASSING txml.xmldata
                 COLUMNS
                 datetime   VARCHAR2(100) PATH '@timestamp',
                 aeci_value VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'AECI',
                 eei_value VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'EEI') loc
WHERE txml.feed_id = 127;If you know the element name and want it returned as a column name, why not just hard code it in the SQL statement, such as
SELECT loc.datetime,
       'AECI' as AECI,
       loc.aeci_value,
       'EEI' AS EEI,
       loc.eei_value
FROM temp_xmltype txml,
       XMLTABLE ('/nsiData/instance' PASSING txml.xmldata
                 COLUMNS
                 datetime   VARCHAR2(100) PATH '@timestamp',
                 aeci_value VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'AECI',
                 eei_value VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'EEI') loc
WHERE txml.feed_id = 127;I suspect you are really looking for something like {message:id=9535532}

How to get the XML TAG name itself instead of TAG value

Hi All,
I have a question here
I want to retrieve the XML tag from a XML file instead of its value.

You can do this with an axes XPatch expression:

HI
GOOD
IT IS POSSIBLE IN ABAP
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple, very flexible text format derived from SGML (ISO 8879). Originally designed to meet the challenges of large-scale electronic publishing, XML is also playing an increasingly important role in the exchange of a wide variety of data on the Web and elsewhere.
XSD->
XML Schemas express shared vocabularies and allow machines to carry out rules made by people. They provide a means for defining the structure, content and semantics of XML documents. in more detail.
XDS->
XDS can process data images from CCD-, imaging-plate, and multiwire-detectors in a variety of formats. Detector specific Input file templates greatly simplify the use of XDS; they are provided as part of the documentation.
XDS runs under Unix or Linux on a single server or a grid of up to 99 machines of the same type managed by the MOSIX system; in addition, by using OpenMP, it can be executed in parallel on up to 32 processors at each node that share the same address space.

Finding xml tags name

Hello,
I use: Node root=doc.getDocumentElement();
to find root of XML and NodeList a=root.getChildNodes(); to find all his children. how can I find tag's name (age)?
<age> 22</age>

Well, in a, you have a NodeList. That list contains a lot of nodes. If age is the first (and/or only) node in that list, you probably can take a.item(0).getNodeName();

You mentioned a parameter so I'm going to assume you are doing the processing in PL/SQL.
One approach would be to use method 4 at
http://anononxml.blogspot.com/2010/05/one-question-that-comes-up-with-some.html
and leave the /text() off of the end of the XPath. As the first Gotcha lists, this will return an XML fragment containing all the nodes you want.
You can still parse the XML in a SQL statement as you are trying to do. Just replace the table.column reference with your PL/SQL variable.
If you are on 10.2.x.x or greater, look into using XMLTable instead of TABLE(XMLSEQUENCE(EXTRACT(...))) For the COLUMN, you would want to return an XMLType.
Yes I'm being a bit vague on purpose. There are lots of examples on the forums already. Still don't know what version of Oracle you are using either.

Extracting XML tags and its values using ORACLE PL/SQL

I need help to create a procedure that receive a XML string and insert it into the table after parsing it.
If the XML has 10 tags then it should insert into the table 10 rows. Table will be having tag name and value. This will be plain XML tags without attributes in tags.

Hi,
I am able to retreive the values of the tags using extract function (example: lv_xml.EXTRACT ('/ROWSET/EMPLOYEE/EMPNO/text()').getstringval() ). But could you help me to find some way to extract the tags also since we have no idea what the tags are and how many tags are there, in advance.
Anybody's help will be a releif!
Thanks in advance,
Leslie
