How to handle XML string with Single Quotes as a parameter to SP dynamically?

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a way to handle the Single Quotes in XML value when it is passed to Stored Procedure?
I should be able to handle it without adding another Single Quote to it.
Thanks,
Chandra Shekar

Hi Chandra,
Your requirement is not precise. Based on my understanding and guessing, are you metioning something like the below sample?
/*If the xml is generated you have no need to escape the singe quote(')*/
DECLARE @xmlTbl TABLE (ID INT,name VARCHAR(99));
INSERT INTO @xmlTbl VALUES(1,'Eric''s')
INSERT INTO @xmlTbl VALUES(2,'Zhang''s')
DECLARE @xmlDoc1 XML
SELECT @xmlDoc1
FROM @xmlTbl FOR XML PATH('PERSON'),ROOT('PERSONS')
EXEC yourProcedure @xmlDoc1
/*If your copy and paste the xml, you have to escape the single quote(') with 2s('')*/
DECLARE @xmlDoc2 XML
SET @xmlDoc2 = '<PERSONS>
<PERSON>
<ID>1</ID>
<name>Eric''s</name>
</PERSON>
<PERSON>
<ID>2</ID>
<name>Zhang''s</name>
</PERSON>
</PERSONS>'
EXEC yourProcedure @xmlDoc2
If that is not regarding your requirement, please elaborate with more details.

How can i insert values with single quote (')

How to deal with single quote (') in a field value?

I can successfully insert value with single quoet using
Prepared statement with placeholder(?) construct .
I can also successfuly use value with single quote(') in
WHERE clause.
My question is, is there a way to use string with single
quote if a Statement like:
String slqString ="INSERT INTO customers (name, address) VALUES ( 'O'Reilly Bob', 'St Mary's Street') ";
Statement sqlStmt = con.createStatement();
sqlStmt.executeUpdate(sqlString);
The last statement will thow an SQLException because due to single quotes
Any ideas?

I think the question was regarding the ' in O'Reily. Use ' twice when using the Statement interface, i.e.
("O''Reilly Bob", "St Mary''s Street")
So that's two single quotes, not a double quote, to successfully insert a single quote, if you know what I mean....
But like you said PreparedStatement does things like this for you.

Escape XML Strings with JDK class

Hi,
can anyone tell me how to escape XML-Strings with classes of the JDK?
When searching I only was pointed to StringEscapeUtils from apache.commons.lang, but we would prefer to use the JDK instead of integrating an external lib.
Our aim is to escape an XML attribute, so a CDATA is not applicable for us in this case.
Thanks
Jan

I implemented it by myself:
public static String escapeXmlAttribute(String attributeValue) {
        StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
        for (int c = 0; c < attributeValue.length(); ++c) {
            if (attributeValue.charAt(c) == '"') {
                result.append(""");
            } else if (attributeValue.charAt(c) == '&') {
                result.append("&");
            } else if (attributeValue.charAt(c) == '<') {
                result.append("<");
            } else if (attributeValue.charAt(c) == '>') {
                result.append(">");
            } else {
                result.append(attributeValue.charAt(c));
        return result.toString();
    }{code}

Problem in insertion with string containing ' (single quote)

i have a text field in jsp.
when i submit the content need to be inserted/updated.
when the text field contains character's with single quote( ' )..
i am unable to insert/update values in database..
where as if the text field contains characters without single quote..there is no problem in Database insertion/updation.
i am using create statement .. and oracle database..
can any one help ...

The usual answer for this in the JDBC forum (where this should have been posted because it's completely about JDBC) is to use a PreparedStatement.

Dynamic SQL and Data with Single Quotes in it.

Hi There,
I have a problem in that I am using dynamic SQL and it happens that one of the columns does contain single quotes (') in it as part of the data. This causes the resultant dynamic SQL to get confused as the single quote that is part of the data is taken to mean end of sting, when in fact its part of the data. This leaves out a dangling single quote that was meant to enclose the string. Here is my dynamic SQL and the result of the parsed SQL that I have captured:
****Dynamic SQL*****
l_sql:='select NOTE_TEMPLATE_ID '||
'FROM TMP_NOTE_TEMPLATE_VALUES '||
'where TRIM(LEGACY_NOTE_CODE)='''||trim(fp_note_code)||''' '||
'and TRIM(DISPLAY_VALUE)='''||trim(fp_note_text)||''' ';
execute immediate l_sql INTO l_note_template_id;
Because the column DISPLAY_VALUE contains data with single quotes, the resultant SQL is:
******PARSED SQL************
select NOTE_TEMPLATE_ID
FROM TMP_NOTE_TEMPLATE_VALUES
where TRIM(LEGACY_NOTE_CODE)='INQ' and TRIM(DISPLAY_VALUE)='Cont'd'
And the problem lies with the single quote between teh characters t and d in the data field for DISPLAY_ITEM. How can I handle this?
Many thanks,

I have been reliably informed that if one doesn't enclose char/varchar2 data items in quotes, the right indices may not be usedI am into oracle for past 4 years and for the first time i am hearing this.
Your reliable source is just wrong. Bind variables are variables that store your value and which are used in SQL. They are the proper way to use values in your SQL. By default all variables in PL/SQL is bind variable.
When you can do some thing in just straight SQL just do it. Dynamic SQL does not make any sense to me here.
Thanks,
Karthick.

Change XML declaration from single quote to double quote

Hi all,
i have the following problem in my File Receiver Adapter. My XML File has the declaration <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> (With single quotes ') and want to change it to <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> (With double quotes ")

Any ideas how to change the declaration
Thanks Max

How to handle "xsd:anyAttributes" with jaxb

Need help for how to handling "xsd:anyAttribute" with jaxb!
Here is part of my xml schema.
<xsd:attributeGroup name="DataAttributes">
<xsd:anyAttribute namespace="##local" processContents="lax"/>
</xsd:attributeGroup>
<xsd:element name="Data">
<xsd:complexType>
     <xsd:attributeGroup ref="DataAttributes"/>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="MA_Verify">
<xsd:complexType>
     <xsd:sequence>
     <xsd:element ref="Data" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
     </xsd:sequence>
     <xsd:attributeGroup ref="verifyAttributes"/>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
I have an application which only knows the attribute names and values at runtime. (Thest attributes are string.) Therefore, I cannot define attribute names in the schema and have to use xsd:anyAttribute.
I was able to generate all jaxb code. However, the interfaces generated for Data and DataType are basically all empty. The impl classes are empty too, since no get or set methods exist for the attribute.
Some thoughts for handling this case, but do not know if it will work.
(1) write some derive classes on top of the generated jaxb classes.
(2) write customized method to handle the 'Data' element level and its attributes. Similar to parseMethod or printMethod for the javaType.
(if there is a way)
Can anyone give me suggestions, directions or an laternate way to handle the situation?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Ruth

xsd:anyAttribute is not supported by JAXB.

Hi,
actually there's none. The UITableView class needs to "know" the tableView's height so either it can calc <number of rows> times <row height> or it has to sum the height of each single row.
If the row which needs to be of different size always is the first or the last row you can user a tableHeader or tableFoot view.

Why can't owa_text.vc_arr handle the string with more than 4000 characters?

I am using PL_SQL with Oracle8i and OAS 4.0 web server.I want to
use owa_text.vc_arr to pass the inputs in serval text areas in the form on a web application.
If the input string length is less than 4000 characters, everything works fine.However when the strings are longer than 4000 characters but less than the max length 32767 characters, I got this error message:
OWS-05101: Execution failed due to Oracle error 2005
ORA-02005: implicit (-1) length not valid for this bind or define datatype.
In the Oracle Application Server 4.0 documment, it says
about owa_text.vc_arr :Type vc_arr is table of varchar2(32767)
index by binary_integer. It means that owa_text.vc_arr can handle multiple strings and each string can have up to 32767 single byte characters, is it right?
Owa_text.vc_arr is supposed to handle the string with more
than 4000 characters, is it true? Could anyone tell me why? Any
help will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks very much.

Here is the pl_sql procedure to create my form on the web:
PROCEDURE myform
IS
BEGIN
htp.p('
<form action="'||service_path||'helena_test.saveform3"
method=post>
<input type=hidden name=tdescription value="X">
Input1: <textarea name=tdescription rows=50 cols=70
WRAP=physical></textarea>
Input2: <textarea name=tdescription rows=50 cols=70
WRAP=physical></textarea>
<input type=submit name=WSave value="Save">
</form>
END;
/***** here is the pl_sql procedure which I use to save the
form***/
procedure saveform3(tdescription in owa_text.vc_arr,
WSave in varchar2 default 'No')
is
len pls_integer;
begin
for i in 2..tdescription.count loop
len := length(tdescription(i));
htp.p(len);
htp.p(tdescription(i));
end loop;
end;

The maximum size of a VARCHAR2 field in Oracle 8i is 4000 bytes.
you'll ned to use a LOB type (or LONG if you prefer the old way)

Importing excel files - problem with single quote

When importing excel files using 1.5, I can't get data with single quotes (') imported.
When I run the insert statement given in SQLPlus I get "ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated", which is different than the error that SQL Developer gives me (see below).
Also, I have a numeric value shown without a thousands comma-separator in the XLS file that I'm trying to load into a varchar2 field. But, the insert statements have added a thousands comma-separator which I don't want.
REM Error starting at line 1 in command:
REM INSERT INTO table (ID, NAME, CODE)
REM VALUES (2427407, 'Ed-u-care Children's Center', '73,000');
REM Error at Command Line:2 Column:37
REM Error report:
REM SQL Error: ORA-00917: missing comma
REM 00917. 00000 - "missing comma"
REM *Cause:
REM *Action:
One last thing, TOAD gives a way to automap columns chosen from XLS to the columns in the database. It sure would be nice to have this functionality in SQL Developer.
Thanks,
Steve

Did you consider both to be bugs (i.e., single quote issue and thousands comma separator issue)?
Thanks

Parsing XML string with XPath

Hi,-
I am trying to parse an XML string with xpath as follows but I am getting null for getresult.
I am getting java.xml.xpath.xpathexpressionexception at line where
getresult = xpathexpression.evaluate(isource); is executed.
What should I do after
xpathexpression = xPath.compile("a/b");in the below snippet?
Thanks
String xmlstring ="..."; // a valid XML string;
Xpath xpath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newPath();
xpathexpression = xPath.compile("a/b");
// I guess the following line is not correct
InputSource isource = new inputSource(new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlstring.getBytes())); right
getresult = xpathexpression.evaluate(isource);My xml string is like:
<a>
<b>
<result> valid some more tags here
</result>
</b>
<c> 10
</c>
</a>Edited by: geoman on Dec 8, 2008 2:30 PM

I've never used the version of evaluate that takes an InputSource. The difficulty with using it is that it does not save the DOM object. Each expression you evaluate will have to create the DOM object, use it once and then throw it away. I've yet to write a program that only needs one answer from an XML document. Usually, I use XPath to locate somewhere in a document and then read "nearby" content, add new content nearby, delete content, or move content. I'd suggest you may want to parse the XML stream and save the DOM Document.
Second, all of the XPath expressions search from a "context node". I have not had good luck searching from the Document object, so I always get the root element first. I think the expression should work if you use the root as the context node. You will need one of the versions of evaluate that uses an Object as the parameter.
