Can you try:

SQL> set long 9999999
SQL> set head off

Adobe LiveCycle Workbench -- How to generate XML from SQL Server 2008 R2

Hello,
Please let me know if anyone has the solution to generate XML in adobe livecycle workbench and generate a dynamic PDF form using that XML.
Regards,
Himanshu

Yes, XML could be generated as here : http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/building-xml.html
You can merge this XML with the form template and generate the form.
Hope this helps.

Generating XML from SQL queries and saving to an xml file?

Hi there,
I was wondering if somebody could help with regards to the following:
Generating XML from SQL queries and saving to a xml file?
We want to have a procedure(PL/SQL) that accepts an order number as an input parameter(the procedure
is accessed by our software on the client machine).
Using this order number we do a couple of SQL queries.
My first question: What would be our best option to convert the result of the
queries to xml?
Second Question: Once the XML has been generated, how do we save that XML to a file?
(The XML file is going to be saved on the file system of the server that
the database is running on.)
Now our procedure will also have a output parameter which returns the filename to us. eg. Order1001.xml
Our software on the client machine will then ftp this XML file(based on the output parameter[filename]) to
the client hard drive.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you,
Francois

If you are using 9iR2 you do not need to do any of this..
You can create an XML as an XMLType using the new SQL/XML operators. You can insert this XML into the XML DB repository using DBMS_XDB.createResource. You can then access the document from the resource. You can also return the XMLType containing the XML directly from the PL/SQL Procedure.

Why it's so inefficient to generate XML from SQL queries?

I am learning to use Oracle9i XML DB to generate XML document using SQL queries. According to the document, there are multiple ways to do it (SQLX, DBMS_XMLGEN, SYS_XMLGEN, XSU). I am using SQLX to do it, but find it's so inefficient. Could someone point out what could be the problem?
I generate XML from TPC-H database, using the query as shown below. The indexes and primary key/foreign keys are created and specified. The system is Pentium IV 2GHz, Linux 2.4.18 with 512MB memory and 1GB swap. With database size 5MB, it spends about 300 seconds (TKPROF result) to generate the XML document. But for 10MB TPCH database, I cannot get the xml document after a long time. I find that all almost physical memory are used up by it. Therefore I stop it.
It seems that nested-loop join is used to evaluate the query, therefore it's very inefficient. I don't know whether there is a efficient way to do it.
Wish to get your help. Thank you very much!

Tim,
Oracle Reports was the orginal way to do this in an Oracle Apps environment. However, the XML Publisher team built a tool called data templates to do this as well. You can read several articles on how to use data templates on the XMLP blog. Here's the first arcticle in a series: http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/11/08#a127.

How to generate XML from EBusiness suite ARXSGPO

Could someone tell me how I can generate XML from the EBusiness Suite Accounts Receivable report ARXSGPO.rdf I understand this report is called by a C program. I have tried changing the concurrent request to output format to XML the result does not resemble XML. Does anyone have any suggestions how I can generate XML from the ARXSGPO report?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark
the next release of XMLP will have last page only support. The problem is that at the template layer you do not know how many lines are going to fit on the page, so you never know what is going to be the last page. The only way around it for now is to specify the number of lines to a page and then check when all the lines have been rendered and then render the remit portion.
I have a sample invoice that does the same, drop me a mail, you can work out the email from my name and the fact I work for XMLP Im sure.

How to generate XML from relational data : PL/SQL or Java

I'm new to Oracle XML and would appreciate some advice. I've been asked to generate XML documents from data stored in relational tables. The XML documents must be validated against a DTD. We will probably want to store the XML in the database.
I've seen a PL/SQL based approach as follows :
1.Mimic the structure of the DTD using SQL object types 2.Assign the relational data to the object type using PL/SQL as required
3.Use the SYS_XMLGEN package to render the required XML documents from the SQL objects
However, creating the object types seems to be quite time consuming (step 1 above) for anything other than the simplest of XML documents.
I've also seen that there is the Java based approach, namely :
1. Use the XML generator to build Java classes based on a DTD.
2. Use these classes to build the required XML
On the face of it, the Java based approach seems simpler. However, I'm not that familiar with Java.
Which is the best way to proceed ? Is the PL/SQL based approach worth pursuing or should I bite the bullet and brush up my Java ?
Is it possible to use a combination of PL/SQL and Java to populate the dtd generated java classes (step 2 of the Java approach) to reduce my learning curve ?
Thanks in advance

To help answer your questions:
1) Now, in 9iR2, you can use SQL/XML as another choice.
2) You can also use XSU to generate the XML and use XSLT to transform it to a desired format instead of using object views if possible.
3) XDK provide Class generator support to populate XML data to Java classes.

Generate JSPs from SQL query

Hello all,
I am currently creating a web application that will allow a user to create a homepage from a template that is displayed to them. If the user is logging into the system for the first time, the template to create their homepage is displayed to them. However, if the user is logging in and has already used the template to set their homepage options, they are then forwarded to their homepage.
The users options for their homepage are stored in a database. The problem I am having is trying to generate the jsp page ( with HTML inside also ) using SQL statements that query the table that store the users options.
Eg. an SQL query queries the DB to see wht options the user has selected. Can anyone help me / advise me how to use these queries to generate the homepage. Thanks in advance!

Hi aniseed,
Thanks for a prompt reply.
So for example can you tell me if the following sample approach is ok.
<html>
<head>
<body>
<sql:query name="query">
SELECT * FROM SettingsTable WHERE links == "yes"
</sql:query>
<%-- Then to use this query result to insert selected hyperlinks that the user wants in their homepage, I would do the following ....... ? --%>
<% if (query.size() == 0)
<table>
<td>
<tr>
</tr>
</td>
</table>
%>
Thanks again

Generate Report from SQL Query with Parameter

I have a web application that needs to generate static PDF reports. What I want to do is:
1. Use Acrobat to create a form
2. Open the form programmatically on the webserver
3. Pass it a parameter such as a "clientID"
4. Automatically populate the rest of the form using a SQL stored procedure with the clientID as the parameter
5. Save the form as a static, non-editable PDF and display it for the client to either view/save/print
Example:
Database would contain a table called Clients
ID LastName Location Phone
1 Doe New York 111-111-1111
2 Smith California 222-222-2222
Stored Procedure
CREATE PROCEDURE GetClient
@id int
AS
SELECT LastName, Location FROM Clients WHERE ID = @id
GO
Acrobat Form
Last Name: [txtLastName]
Location: [txtLocation]
Website user requests report for clientID=1. Result is a PDF that looks like this:
Last Name: Doe
Location: New York
I am very new to Acrobat, so please explain in detail how I can go about doing this. Thanks very much in advance.

Good morning. Did you find a solution to your problem? I'm looking for something to do the same for a from created in Live Cycle 7.0. If you can share some information or examples, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

How to generate XML from XML schema

Hi,
I have registered XML schema and I would like to construct XML document for the schema. I wonder it is possible to create an empty instance and then populate it with the data? One solution is to construct the XML with concatenation of the elements but I think it exists more flexible and intelligent way. I read OTN and Metalink samples, documentation and forums users examples but I did not find any appropriate. What is the ordinary way for XML construction? Can you give me some advice? Tank you in advance.
Best regards,
Georgi
