Not a perfectly framed question. How do you want to load the XML file? Hoping you want to parse the xml file and load it into a table you can do this.
This is the xml file
karthick% cat emp_details.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
  <EMPNO>7782</EMPNO>
  <ENAME>CLARK</ENAME>
  <JOB>MANAGER</JOB>
  <MGR>7839</MGR>
  <HIREDATE>09-JUN-1981</HIREDATE>
  <SAL>2450</SAL>
  <COM>0</COM>
  <DEPTNO>10</DEPTNO>
</ROW>
<ROW>
  <EMPNO>7839</EMPNO>
  <ENAME>KING</ENAME>
  <JOB>PRESIDENT</JOB>
  <HIREDATE>17-NOV-1981</HIREDATE>
  <SAL>5000</SAL>
  <COM>0</COM>
  <DEPTNO>10</DEPTNO>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
You can write a query like this.
SQL> select *
  2    from xmltable
  3         (
  4            '/ROWSET/ROW'  passing xmltype
  5            (
  6                 bfilename('SDAARBORDIRLOG', 'emp_details.xml')
  7               , nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8')
  8            )
  9            columns empno    number      path 'EMPNO'
10                  , ename    varchar2(6) path 'ENAME'
11                  , job      varchar2(9) path 'JOB'
12                  , mgr      number      path 'MGR'
13                  , hiredate varchar2(20)path 'HIREDATE'
14                  , sal      number      path 'SAL'
15                  , com      number      path 'COM'
16                  , deptno   number      path 'DEPTNO'
17         );
     EMPNO ENAME  JOB              MGR HIREDATE                    SAL        COM     DEPTNO
      7782 CLARK  MANAGER         7839 09-JUN-1981                2450          0         10
      7839 KING   PRESIDENT            17-NOV-1981                5000          0         10
