How to insert 4K of XML data into XMLType column?

I use OCCI and our Oracle version is 9.2.0.1.0. I have successfully been able to insert xml data (any size) into a clob column using "insert into...values(.., empty_clob()) returning c1 into :3"; and then using Statement::GetClob() to acquire a reference to the internal clob and populate it. I cannot seem to be able to do the same when the column type is of XMLType.
I could not find a single sample code which demonstrates inserting into a table with a XMLType column. Using SetDataBuffer(OCCI_SQLT_STR) with data over 4000 bytes does not work.
I'd greatly appreciate any feedback.

Pretty sure this was a bug in the base 9.2 release which was fixed in a patch drop. Try 9.2.0.6 or later.

Inserting XML data into xmltype column

Oracle version: 10.1.0.5
OpenVms Alpha V8.3
1) Tried this and get the error shown below. Removed charset and placed a zero. Same error.
INSERT INTO xml_demo (xml_data) -- column of xmltype
VALUES
xmltype
bfilename('XML_DIR', 'MOL.XML'),
nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8')
ORA-22993: specified input amount is greater than actual source amount
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 637
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 283
ORA-06512: at line 1
2) This PL/SQL block works. However maximum raw size around 32K. The file can be around 100K. May be I can load it into a table of raw and somehow concatnate it to insert. Not sure whether this is possible but I am sure there must me a simple way of doing this.
Subset of the xml file is pasted below.
set serveroutput on size 1000000
DECLARE
file1 bfile;
v_xml XMLType;
len1 number(6);
v_rec1 raw(32000);
BEGIN
file1 := bfilename('XML_DIR','MOL.XML');
DBMS_LOB.fileopen(file1, DBMS_LOB.file_readonly);
len1 := DBMS_LOB.getLength(file1);
v_rec1 := dbms_lob.substr(file1,len1,1);
v_xml := xmltype(UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2(v_rec1));
INSERT INTO xml_demo (xml_data) VALUES (v_xml);
COMMIT;
DBMS_LOB.fileclose(file1);
exception
when others then
dbms_output.put_LINE (sqlerrm);
DBMS_LOB.fileclose(file1);
END;

Inserting large xml data into xmltype

Hi all,
In my project I need to insert very large XML data into xmltype column.
My table:
CREATE TABLE TransDetailstblCLOB ( id number, data_xml XMLType) XmlType data_xml STORE AS CLOB;
I am using JDBC approach to insert values. It works fine for data less than 4000 bytes when using preparedStatement.setString(1, xmlData). As I have to insert large Xml data >4000 bytes I am now using preparedStatement.setClob() methods.
My code works fine for table which has column declared as CLOB expicitly. But for TransDetailstblCLOB where the column is declared as XMLTYPE and storage option as CLOB I am getting the error : "ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column".
This error means that there is a mismatch between my setClob() and column. which means am I not storing in CLOB column.
I read in Oracle site that
When you create an XMLType column without any XML schema specification, a hidden CLOB column is automatically created to store the XML data. The XMLType column itself becomes a virtual column over this hidden CLOB column. It is not possible to directly access the CLOB column; however, you can set the storage characteristics for the column using the XMLType storage clause."
I dont understand its stated here that it is a hidden CLOB column then why not I use setClob()? It worked fine for pure CLOB column (another table) then Why is it giving such error for XMLTYPE table?
I am struck up with this since 3 days. Can anyone help me please?
My code snippet:
query = "INSERT INTO po_xml_tab VALUES (?,XMLType(?)) ";
          //query = "INSERT INTO test VALUES (?,?) ";
     // Get the statement Object
     pstmt =(OraclePreparedStatement) conn.prepareStatement(query);
     // pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(query);
     //xmlData="test";
//      If the temporary CLOB has not yet been created, create new
     temporaryClob = oracle.sql.CLOB.createTemporary(conn, true, CLOB.DURATION_SESSION);
     // Open the temporary CLOB in readwrite mode to enable writing
     temporaryClob.open(CLOB.MODE_READWRITE);
     log.debug("tempClob opened"+"size bef writing data"+"length "+temporaryClob.getLength()+
               "buffer size "+temporaryClob.getBufferSize()+"chunk size "+temporaryClob.getChunkSize());
     OutputStream out = temporaryClob.getAsciiOutputStream();
     InputStream in = new StringBufferInputStream(xmlData);
int length = -1;
int wrote = 0;
int chunkSize = temporaryClob.getChunkSize();
chunkSize=xmlData.length();
byte[] buf = new byte[chunkSize];
while ((length = in.read(buf)) != -1) {
out.write(buf, 0, length);
wrote += length;
temporaryClob.setBytes(buf);
log.debug("Wrote lenght"+wrote);
     // Bind this CLOB with the prepared Statement
     pstmt.setInt(1,100);
     pstmt.setStringForClob(2, xmlData);
     int i =pstmt.executeUpdate();
     if (i == 1) {
     log.debug("Record Successfully inserted!");
     }

try this, in adodb works:
declare poXML CLOB;
BEGIN
poXML := '<OIDS><OID>large text</OID></OIDS>';
UPDATE a_po_xml_tab set podoc=XMLType(poXML) WHERE poid = 102;
END;

How to insert a very long string into a column of datatype 'LONG'

Can anyone please tell me how can I insert a very long string into a column of datatype 'LONG'?
I get the error, ORA-01704: string literal too long when I try to insert the value into the table.
Since it is an old database, I cannot change the datatype of the column. And I see that the this column already contains strings which are very long.
I know this can be done using bind variables but dont know how to use it in a simple query.
Also is there any other way to do it?

Javascript Question - How to Insert a Dynamic/Current Date into the Footer of a Scanned Document

Hi!
I am looking for help in finding a Javascript that would allow the insertion of a dynamic/current date into the footer of a scanned document at the time the document is printed.
I am currently using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0 at my work and there has arisen a need to have a dynamic/current date in the footer on scanned documents when they are printed out on different days by different people.
I am new to the Forum and I am also very new to Javascript and what this entails.
Thank you in advance for your help and input!

this.addWatermarkFromText({
cText: util.printd("mmmm dd, yyyy", new Date()),
nTextAlign: app.constants.align.right,
nHorizAlign: app.constants.align.right,
nVertAlign: app.constants.align.bottom,
nHorizValue: -72, nVertValue: 72
Will insert the current Monday/Day/Year as a text watermark at the bottom of every page of a document, 1 inch up and 1 inch in from the right corner.

Inserting a long XML document into XMLType

I'm trying to load the following document into an XMLType column in 10.2. I've tried every example I can find and can push the data into CLOBs using the Java work around just fine (http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/codesnippet/xmldb/HowToLoadLargeXML.html).
Can anyone provide a solution or let me know if there is a limitation please?
Given the table;

XML_DATA XMLTYPE
How do I load this data into 'XML_DATA'?

<procdesc>For the first edition DCW, stable-based positives were produced from the original reproduction negatives (up to 35 per ONC sheet). These were digitized either through a scanning-raster to vector conversion or hand digitized into vector form. The vector data was then tagged with attribute information using ARC-INFO software. Transformation to geographic coordinates was performed using the projection graticules for each sheet. Digital information was edge matched between sheets to create large regional datasets. These were then subdivided into 5 x 5 degree tiles and converted from ARC/INFO to VPF. The data was then pre-mastered for CD-ROM. QC was performed by a separate group for each step in the production process.</procdesc>

<procdesc>Stable-based positives were produced from the original reproduction negatives (up to 35 per ONC sheet). These were digitized either through a scanning-raster to vector conversion or hand digitized into vector form. The vector data was then tagged with attribute information using ARC-INFO software. Transformation to geographic coordinates was performed using the projection graticules for each sheet. Digital information was edge matched between sheets to create large regional datasets. These were then subdivided into 5 x 5 degree tiles and converted from ARC/INFO to VPF. The data was then pre-mastered for CD-ROM. QC was performed by a separate group for each step in the production process.</procdesc>

<overview>
<eaover>The DCW used a product-specific attribute coding system that is composed of TYPE and STATUS designators for area, line, and point features; and LEVEL and SYMBOL designators for text features. The TYPE attribute specifies what the feature is, while the STATUS attribute specifies the current condition of the feature. Some features require both a TYPE and STATUS code to uniquely identify their characteristics. In order to uniquely identify each geographic attribute in the DCW, the TYPE and STATUS attribute code names are preceded by the two letter coverage abbreviation and a two letter abbreviation for the type of graphic primitive present. The DCW Type/Status codes were mapped into the FACC coding scheme. A full description of FACC may be found in Digital Geographic Information Exchange Standard Edition 1.2, January 1994.</eaover>
<eadetcit>Entities (features) and Attributes for DCW are fully described in: Department of Defense, 1992, Military Specification Digital Chart of the World (MIL-D-89009): Philadelphia, Department of Defense, Defense Printing Service Detachment Office.</eadetcit>

Have you tired the directory and bfile methods? Here is the example for that in the Oracle XML Developer's Guide:
CREATE DIRECTORY xmldir AS 'path_to_folder_containing_XML_file';
Example 3-3 Inserting XML Content into an XMLType Table
INSERT INTO mytable2 VALUES (XMLType(bfilename('XMLDIR', 'purchaseOrder.xml'),
nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8')));
1 row created.
The value passed to nls_charset_id() indicates that the encoding for the file to be read is UTF-8.

Loading data into XMLType column using dbms_xmlsave.insertxml get ORA-29532

The following simple test case succeeded in 9.2.0.1 but failed in 9.2.0.2.
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure InsertXML(xmlDoc IN VARCHAR2, tableName IN VARCHAR2) is
insCtx DBMS_XMLSave.ctxType;
rows number;
begin
insCtx := DBMS_XMLSave.newContext(tableName); -- get the context handle
rows := DBMS_XMLSave.insertXML(insCtx,xmlDoc); -- this inserts the document
dbms_output.put_line(to_char(rows) || ' rows inserted');
DBMS_XMLSave.closeContext(insCtx); -- this closes the handle
end;
CREATE TABLE XMLtable
(column1 xmltype)
exec insertxml('<?xml version = "1.0"?><ROWSET><ROW><COLUMN1><TEST>HELLO</TEST></COLUMN1></ROW></ROWSET>', 'XMLTABLE');

Hi,
For your XML file I think you just need to enclose XML elemnts in ROWSET AND ROW TAGS - so xml should look like :
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<DEPT>
</DEPT>
and just pass it as CLOB to dbms_xmlsave.insertXML proc.
I hope it should work.
I am also trying to insert XML file but with a bit complex structure having multiple nested elements.
I am not sure how to transform the external XML file to wrap it in ROWSET/ROW using XSLT. It's mandatory to use ROWSET/ROW tags to be able to insert in oracle tables. I am facing this problem right now. I am using object views to accomplish the purpose but still needs to figure out the way to apply stylesheet to incoming XML file.
If you come to know of any way, pls do let me know also.
Thanks

How to insert Serialised Object(XML DOM) into Oracle Table(as BLOB or CLOB)

we need a urgent help. How can we insert and retrieve the XML Document DOM Object into Oracle Table.Actually we used BLOB for insert the DOM Object,its inserted finely but we have a problem in retrieving that object, we got error when v're retrieving. so could you anyone tell us what's this exact problem and how can we reslove this problem If anyone knows or used this kind operation, pls let us know immediately.
Thanks in advance.

How to display appcmd /config xml data into a single table

Hi,
I extracted my IIS sites using appcmd
appcmd /site /config /xml > c:\temp\iisconfig.xml
afterwhich I would like to grab the data from this xml and export into excel file
[xml]$iisconfig = get-content c:\temp\iisconfig.xml
I would like to get the Site Name, Bindings, Physical Directory Path and AppPool from this xml file and output to a excel file
#Physical Path Directory
$iisPhysicalPath = $iisconfig.appcmd.site.site.application.VirtualDirectory.PhysicalPath
#Application Pool
$iisAppPool = $iisconfig.appcmd.site.site.application.applicationPool
#Site Details (Site Name, Binding)
$iisSite = $iisconfig.appcmd.site
It doesn't have a single command to output into a table. How do I combine all these code and display in a single table?

Try it like this:
$sites=[xml](c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe list site /xml)
$sites.appcmd.site

I have made sure all my home settings are correct in my registry editor and they are. Another thing to note is the control file I am using works 100% perfectly, beautifully when called from Toad for Oracle. It is when called from the command line utility that it fails. Is there anyway to determine what the difference could be?
So we know that I can work (toad works), but it doesn't yet work in a "cmd" environment.
Just as any other program Toad is also a client and uses NLS and other environment settings. Maybe these are stored in the registry, maybe the are being set by Toad by reading a configuration file while it is started or while running.
As said, on Windows its tricky...
Setting properties in the registry will not mean that they are the same a "cmd" window or maybe not even been set.
If you execute / run "cmd" then the "set" statement/command will output the environment settings that will be used during the livetime of that "cmd" session.

...In the registry you can find a lot of those variables are set for ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_BASE, SQLPATH, maybe TNS_ADMIN, ORACLE_SID, NLS_LANG. You can find the variables IN the registry on two places. The most common one is the SYSTEM wide environment settings under //HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE and in my case for 11.2 under //HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/KEY_OraDb11g_Home1.
You could overrule this for to be active on "my user session", my login session as account "marco" under //HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Oracle, but no one using Windows is doing this.
Besides the "cmd" and registry environment, there is a different place as well were you can set these parameters. In windows go to "start", click "control panel", click "system", click tab "Advanced" and then click on the button on the bottum with "Environment Variables". Here you can see the distinction between user and system wide variables as well. Here you can also set NLS_LANG, ORACLE_HOME etc. If I am not mistaken than these will be the default values used in a fresh "cmd" window session. But they can and will interfere with programs you start via clicking them. For example something a Java program like SQL Developer (and/or Toad). If those values are not overrulled by the program by for example using his own variables from a config file or else, those sessings from the "system" / control panel item will be used. If it is the wrong mix, you will encounter strange issues.
Setting ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_BASE will be used by a lot of derived other settings for example the default place SQL*Net drivers and tnsnames aliases etc will be checked. For example setting the ORACLE_HOME to
C:\> set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1will result in that the tnsnames aliases from
C:\> set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\adminwill be used and NOT the ones maybe needed from
C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\NETWORK\adminYou can overrule this behavior by setting the TNS_ADMIN variable. By default, most explicit form for example on linux and Unix, the following rule will be used by Oracle
1) .tnsnames.ora in the home directory of the user
2) standard default: $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
3) behavior can be overruled via setting $TNS_ADMINThe fact that you are able via Toad to execute it correctly proves you that it can be done. But Toad uses in your session "SQL*Net" or JDBC or ODBC or ADO or ? via its own configuration environment settings that are being set on which values...?
Both Oracle and Toad use the OSI model (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model), both have to follow the same rules. There hasn't been changed that much over the years, character set conversions are done in the "two task common" layer of the data transport on either side (client/server) when data travels between a client and server. And don't forget a database can be also be a client when for instance database links are being used. One of the reasons to read old manuals because there the basics are still perfectly explained: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/A57673_01/DOC/net/doc/NWUS233/ch2.htm#twotask (Oracle 7.3.4 Networking Manual).
This long long story is just to show you that you have more control if you set variables explicitly in a "cmd" window (and or in a linux/unix shell (as long as the session isn't "forked")) BUT you will have to be precise. Check the environment a set those environment variables that control / that are being used by "sqlldr" (and that are probably more then you realised, for example that SQL_PATH variable is the default directory where SQL*Plus is looking and saving its "SQL" and spool "LIS" files).

How to insert more than 32k xml data into oracle clob column

how to insert more than 32k xml data into oracle clob column.
xml data is coming from java front end
if we cannot use clob than what are the different options available

Are you facing any issue with my code?
String lateral size error will come when you try to insert the full xml in string format.
public static boolean writeCLOBData(String tableName, String id, String columnName, String strContents) throws DataAccessException{
boolean isUpdated = true;
Connection connection = null;
try {
connection = ConnectionManager.getConnection ();
//connection.setAutoCommit ( false );
PreparedStatement PREPARE_STATEMENT = null;
String sqlQuery = "UPDATE " + tableName + " SET " + columnName + " = ? WHERE ID =" + id;
PREPARE_STATEMENT = connection.prepareStatement ( sqlQuery );
// converting string to reader stream
Reader reader = new StringReader ( strContents );
PREPARE_STATEMENT.setClob ( 1, reader );
// return false after updating the clob data to DB
isUpdated = PREPARE_STATEMENT.execute ();
PREPARE_STATEMENT.close ();
} catch ( SQLException e ) {
e.printStackTrace ();
finally{
return isUpdated;
Try this JAVA code.

Insert XML Data Into An Existing PDF Form

I am working on an application, written with XHTML and JavaScript, and running on AIR, so it is a desktop application.
Users enter data into an XHTML form and upon submission I create an XML file of the data using JavaScript.
At any later time users will be able to open the XML file from the application. I will use JavaScript, again, to read the XML and fill in an XHTML form. But at this point I will provide a button for users to generate a PDF with the data. I would then like to insert the XML data into the appropriate fields of the existing PDF form. I would like to continue to do this from within the AIR application using JavaScript.
Is this possible?
What version of Acrobat would I need as the developer? Professional or Standard or Other or None?
What version of Acrobat would the end users need? Professional or Standard or Other or None?
Can this all be done using only JavaScript and the Acrobat SDK? Does using AIR offer any help (all Adobe products)?
When the end user clicks the generate PDF button would Acrobat have to open? Can this be done without the user seeing Acrobat open? Either way is ok, I would just like the user to see an alert saying that the file has be generated and point them to its location on the local machine. But again, this is not a requirement.
Thanks in advance.
Not asking for source code here, just if its possible. :)
I'll figure out the how.

You have two choices
1) You can use JavaScript in your AIR application to communicate with the JavaScript in the PDF to fill in the form directly. This can all be done inside of your AIR app. This is certainly the best route to go and there is (IIRC) a sample in the AIR SDK.
2) You can create an XFDF file from your XML data and then have Acrobat/Reader open the XFDF file to fill in the data.
Both methods will work with Acrobat and Reader - HOWEVER, Reader users won't be able to save the PDF unless it has been Reader Enabled.

How to Dump XML data into table

Hi All,
We have one schema on a server.
We have created the same schema with only table structures on another new server.
Now we got the data from the original schema as XML files corresponding to each table.
For Example, we have Employee table created newly on a new server. Now we have the XML file which has Employee data. We have to dump this XML data into new EMPLOYEE table.
We have to dump these XML files data into corresponding tables.
How can we achieve this?
Please help me..
Thanks in advance

Look at this example:
Assume you have the following XML in a tempxml table (tempxml could be an external table):
create table tempxml (xml xmltype);
insert into tempxml values (xmltype(
