How to query XML data stored in a CLOB column
I don't know XMLDB, so I have a dumb question about querying XML data which is saved as CLOB in a table.
I have a table (OLAP_AW_PRC), with a CLOB column - AW_XML_TMPL_VAL
This column contains this xml data - [click here|http://www.nasar.net/aw.xml]
Now I want to query the data using the xml tags - like returning the name of AW. This is where I am having trouble, how to query the data from AW_XML_TMPL_VAL clob column.
The following query generates error:
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed.
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00229: input source is empty
SELECT
extractValue(value(x), '/AW/LongName') as "AWNAME"
from
OLAP_AW_PRC,
table(xmlsequence(extract (xmltype(AW_XML_TMPL_VAL), '/AWXML/AWXML.content/Create/ActiveObject/AW'))) x
where
extractValue(value(x) , '/AW/Name') = 'OMCR4'

Mark,
Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for.
After doing @Name in both places (SELECT and WHERE clause) it worked.
Now I have one more question.
There are multiple DIMENSION tags in my xml, and I want to see the NAME attribute values for all of those DIMENSIONs. The following query returns
ORA-19025: EXTRACTVALUE returns value of only one node.
Cause: Given XPath points to more than one node.
Action: Rewrite the query so that exactly one node is returned.
SELECT
extractValue(value(x), '/AW/@Name') as "AW",
extractValue(value(x), '/AW/Dimension/@Name') as "DIMENSIONS"
from
OLAP_AW_PRC,
table(xmlsequence(extract (xmltype(AW_XML_TMPL_VAL), '/AWXML/AWXML.content/Create/ActiveObject/AW'))) x
where
extractValue(value(x) , '/AW/@Name') = 'OMCR4'

How to read XML data stored in CLOB in Concurrent prog Output
Hi All,
I'm trying to Generate the XML Data as concurrent Program output. I have a PL/SQL package which generated the XML data by using SQL/XML functions. I'm storing the generated XML data in a CLOB variable. But when i try to read the data using fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.OUTPUT,XML_Data) it doesn't display data more than 32767 bytes.
Please help me out to understand what could be done to read the data in chunks. I have tried many logic's to print chunks of data but the output tags are either chopped off and errors out saying Tag not found.
My logic is as below:
v_handler:= DBMS_XMLGEN.newContext(v_xml_query);
--Sets NULL handling options
DBMS_XMLGen.SetNullHandling(v_handler, dbms_xmlgen.EMPTY_TAG ) ;
--Set special character handling
DBMS_XMLGEN.setConvertSpecialChars(v_handler, TRUE);
-- Specified whether to use an XML attribute to indicate NULLness of particular entity in the XML document
DBMS_XMLGen.useNullAttributeIndicator(v_handler,TRUE);
-- set Checking invalid chars
DBMS_XMLGEN.setCheckInvalidChars(v_handler, TRUE);
-- get the xml data as required
v_xml_data:= DBMS_XMLGEN.getXMLtype(v_handler);
SELECT XMLROOT(v_xml_data.extract('/*'),VERSION '1.0').getClobVal() into v_new_xml_Data from dual;
-- get the length of the xml generated
v_clob_len := dbms_lob.getlength(v_new_xml_Data);
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.LOG,'The Clob length is :'|| v_clob_len);
-- logic to process string more than 32767 Processing by each character
v_offset :=1;
while (v_offset <= v_clob_len)
LOOP
v_char := dbms_lob.substr(v_new_xml_Data, 1, v_offset);
IF (v_char = CHR(10))
then
fnd_file.new_line(fnd_file.output, 1);
else
fnd_file.put(fnd_file.output, v_char);
end if;
v_offset := v_offset + 1;
END LOOP;
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.LOG,'The offset is :'|| v_offset);
FND_FILE.NEW_LINE(FND_FILE.OUTPUT, 1);
THe above logic is for character by character which is a performance burden? Please let me know if there is any other work around for thisHi,
Thanks for Replying. I have refered http://blog.oraclecontractors.com/?p=69 and then i added that piece of code. Basically, i'm trying to generate a report using XML publisher. To generate the XML data i'm writing a pl/sql package with SQl/XML functions. DBMS_XMLGEN would help me convert the XML Data as is. When the concurrent program runs this XML data will merge with RTF layout and generate required report. I'm able to generate the Report for data less then 32767 bytes. More than the limit i need to pass chunks of XML data to read as output. That's the reason i'm using fnd_file.output. But it reads only 32767 size at a time.
WHen i use the given logic, it works perfectly fine, but it loops for each character, for example if you have 30,000 characters it loops the same, which is peformance burden.
So i tried to write the logic of chunks but still i get the error that XML tag is not found or missing. I'm hoping this is very common issue, but after all my trails, i didn't find the right solution.
the other logic i tried was :
v_new_xml_data varchar2(32767)
v_iterations := CEIL(v_clob_len/v_chunk_length); -- v_chunk_length is 32767 and v_clob_length is length of the XML data stored inthe clob variable
For i in 0..v_iterations
LOOP
FND_FILE.put_line (fnd_file.log,'the loops v_pos :'||i||' and v_clob_length :'||v_clob_len);
v_new_xml_data := DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR ( V_XML_DATA,v_chunk_length,(i*v_chunk_length)+1);
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE (FND_FILE.OUTPUT,v_new_xml_data); -- read the output for every 32767 chunks
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.LOG, 'Chunk length is :'||((i*v_chunk_length)+1));
END LOOP;
FND_FILE.put_line (fnd_file.log,'out of loop');
FND_FILE.put_line (fnd_file.log,'length of new xml is '||v_clob_len);
Please, let me know if you need Further clarifications on the same. -

How to use XML data stored in table column in XML Data Definition
Hi,
We are using BIP 5.6.3 (Oracle EBS R12).
We have a table which stores XML data in a column. Is there a way we can use this XML data through a SQL query in XML Data Definition of BI Publisher report instead or writing whole SQL query to fetch same data from Oracle EBS?
Can some please provide a sample SQL query that we should use in Data Definition?
Thanks!Mark,
Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for.
After doing @Name in both places (SELECT and WHERE clause) it worked.
Now I have one more question.

First of all sorry for the delayed replay and thank you very much for the solution provided by you, using which I am able to retrieve the required output after doing small changes. As mentioned earlier this functionality we are using in reading XML file which we receive as CLOB input parameter to procedure. This XML file will contain 50 multiple records which need to be read inside the procedure, using the logic provided by you. To read these 50 records it is taking 2 seconds of time.
Now we got requirement to read up to 1500 records which will be supplied by CLOB field as input parameter to the procedure.
But we are facing really a big challenge over here. Initially in testing phase we are trying to read just 100 records for which the time taking from point 1 to point 2(Mentioned below, that is going in to the loop) is around 60 sec. As you know this is not acceptable. So can you please help me to reduce this time frame?
Do Let me know if you have any questions.

Fetch XML data stored in database table column dynamically
Hi All,
I am working as a SQL guy but never worked on XML in SQlbefore.
During some project work , we need to fetch value from xml stored in database column.
Problem is rowsof xml column arebit different and have different values.
Could anybody help me to build something dynamic to fetch all values from each row .
My data look like:

Trying to Insert an XML Element into XML data stored in CLOB column
Hi all,
My ORACLE DB version is:
('Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production');
('PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production');
('CORE 11.2.0.2.0 Production');
('TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production');

I have this XML data stored in a CLOB column:

</Inserts>
<Definition>
</Definition>

</Spawned>
<SpawnedBy>AFC49BD4-5AA7-38C0-AE27-F59D16EE1B1C</SpawnedBy>
</Activity>
I am in need of some assistance in creating an update that will insert another <Activity>SomeGUID</Activity> into the <Spawned> parent.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

For example :

XMLSerialize(document
insertChildXML(
XMLParse(document t.my_clob)
, '/Activity/Spawned'
, 'Activity'
, XMLElement("Activity", 'Some GUID')

;Although it works, there's overhead introduced by parsing the CLOB, then serializing again.
Is there any chance you can change the CLOB to SECUREFILE binary XMLType storage instead?
You would then be able to benefit from optimized piecewise update of the XML and improved storage. -
Update XML data stored in CLOB Column
Hi All,
i am new to Oracle and new to SQL
i am trying to update XML data stored in CLOB cloumn,data is stored with the follwoing format
<attrs><attr name="name"><string>Schade</string></attr></attrs>
i am using the following query for updating the value
UPDATE PRODUCT p SET ATTRIBUTES_nl_nl=UPDATEXML(XMLTYPE.createXML(ATTRIBUTES_nl_nl),'/attrs/attr[@name="name"]/string/text()','Schade').getClobVal() WHERE p.sku='000000000000040576_200911-5010057'
this query is working fine but it changing the data to the following format
<attrs><attr name="name">Schade</attr></attrs>
some how it is ommiting the <string> tag from it, i am unable to figure it out whats the reason.
any help in this regard will b e much appriciated
Thanks in Advance
-UmeshHi,
You should have created your own thread for this, and included database version.
This works for me on 11.2.0.2 and 10.2.0.5 :

SQL> select '*' ||
2 extractvalue(xmltype(xml_clob),'/Message/Entity/ASSIGNMENT/OAVendorLocation')
3 || '*' as result
4 from t_org;

*LONDON*
Does the OAVendorLocation really have a whitespace value?
If not then it's expected behaviour, you're trying to update a text() node that doesn't exist. In this case, the solution is to use appendChildXML to create the text() node, or update the whole element.
Is it your real document? Do you actually have some namespaces? -
Query xml data from a CLOB datatye

I read in an oracle white paper that is is possible to query XML data from CLOB datatype using oracle text index using operators HASPATH() and INPATH(). I am not able to find any example on how to do this. Can someone please post a simple example here.

How to get values/data stored in the database into a list-item.
how to get values/data stored in the database into a list-item.
i tried to make a list item without any values assigned to it...but i got the below error.
FRM-30191: No list items defined for required poplist.
or
FRM-32082: Invalid value for given item type.
List EMPNO
Item: EMPNO
Block: EMP
Form: MODULE5
FRM-30085: Unable to adjust form for output.
then according to some docs, i tried the the following for the trigger
when-new-form-instance
declare
rg_name varchar2(40) := 'emp_rec';
status number;
groupid recordgroup;
it_id item;
begin
it_id := Find_Item('empno');
groupid := create_group_from_query(rg_name, 'select empno from emp');
status := populate_group(groupid);
populate_list(it_id, groupid);
end;
but yet didnt work... :(
so how the heck do i get values fetched from the database table into the list item?for list items you need to values in the record group, one is the shown value and one is the returned value.
Check out the online help for the populate_list built-in.
You'll need something like select ename,ename from emp as the record group query. -
Problem inserting and querying XML data with a recursive XML schema

Query 1
select * from category
Result : the whole row is returned
Query 2
select xmlquery('$p/category/description' passing object_value as "p" returning content) from category
Result: "SYS.XMLTYPE"
now I tried to fully respect the nested structure of description element in order to extract the text portion of <bold> using this query
Query 3
select xmlquery('$p/category/description/text/keyword/bold/text()' passing object_value as "p" returning content) from category_a
Result: null
and also tried to extract the text portion of element <text> using this query
Query 4
select xmlquery('$p/category/description/text/text()' passing object_value as "p" returning content) from category_a
Result: "SYS.XMLTYPE".
On the other hand, I noticed, from the result of query 1, that the opening tags of elements keyword and bold are encoded as the less than operator "<". This explains why query 3 returns NULL. However, query 4 should display the text content of <text>, which is not the case.
My questions are about
1. How to properly insert the XML data while preserving the tags (especially the opening tag).
2. How to display the data (the text portion of the main Element or of the nested elements).
The problem about question 1 is that it is quite unfeasible to write a unique insert statement because the structure of <description> is recursive. In other words, if the structure of <description> was not recursive, it would be possible to embed the elements using the xmlelement function during the insertion.
In fact, I need to insert the content of <description> from a source table (called category_a) into a target table (+category_b+) automatically .
I filled category_a using the Saxloader utility from an flat XML file that I have generated from a benchmark. The content of <description> is different from one row to another but it is always valid with regards to the XML Schema. The data is properly inserted as witnessed by the "select * from category_a" instruction (500 row inserted). Besides, the opening tags of the nested elements under <description> are preserved (no "<"). Then I wrote a PL/SQL procedure in which a cursor extracts the category id and category name into varchar2 variables and description into an XMLtype variable from category_a. When I try to insert the values into a category_b, I get the follwing error:
LSX-00213: only 0 occurrences of particle "text", minimum is 1which tells that the <text> element is absent (actually it is present in the source table).
So, my third question is why are not the tags recognized during the insertion?
Can anyone help please?Hello,
indded, I was using an old version of Sqlplus* (8.0.60.0.0) because I had a previous installation (oracle 10g XE). Instead, I used the Sqlplus* shipped with the 11g2database (version 11.2.0.1.0). All the queries that I wrote work fine and display the data correctly.
I also used the XMLSERIALIZE function and can now display the description content in SQL Developer.
Thank you very much.
To answer your question Marco, I registered the XML Schema using the following code
declare
doc varchar2(4000) := '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

GENTYPES => FALSE, GENBEAN => FALSE, GENTABLES => FALSE,
FORCE => FALSE,
OPTIONS => DBMS_XMLSCHEMA.REGISTER_BINARYXML,
OWNER => USER);
end;then, I created the Category table as follows:
CREATE TABLE category_a of XMLType XMLTYPE store AS BINARY XML
XMLSCHEMA "xmldb/category_auction.xsd" ELEMENT "category";Now, there still remains a problem of how to insert the "description" content which I serialized as a CLOB data into another table as XML. To this purpose, I wrote a view over the Category_a table as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW "AUCTION_XWH"."CATEGORY_V" ("CATEGORY_ID", "CNAME", "DESCRIPTION") AS
select category_v."CATEGORY_ID",category_v."CNAME",
XMLSerialize(content ( xmlquery('$p/category/description/*' passing object_value as "p" returning content)) as clob) as "DESCRIPTION"
from auction.category_a p,
xmltable ('$a/category' passing p.Object_Value as "a"
columns category_id varchar2(15) path '@id',
cname varchar2(20) path 'name') category_v;Then, I wrote a procedure to insert data into the Category_xwh table (the source and target tables are slightly different: the common elements are just copied wereas new elements are created in the target table). The code of the procedure is the following:
create or replace PROCEDURE I_CATEGORY AS
v_cname VARCHAR2(30);
v_description clob ;
v_category_id VARCHAR2(15);
cursor mycursor is select category_id, cname, description from category_v;
BEGIN
open mycursor;
loop
/*retrieving the columns*/
fetch mycursor into v_category_id, v_cname, v_description ;
exit when mycursor%notfound;
insert into category_xwh values
(XMlElement("category",
xmlattributes(v_category_id as "category_id"),
xmlelement("Hierarchies", xmlelement("ObjHierarchy", xmlelement ("H_Cat"),
xmlelement ("Rollsup",
(xmlelement("all_categories",
xmlattributes('allcategories' as "all_category_id")))
xmlforest (
v_cname as "cat_name",
v_description as "description")
end loop;
commit;
close mycursor;
END I_CATEGORY;When I execute the procedure, I get the following error:
LSX-00201: contents of "description" should be elements onlyso, I just wonder if this is because v_description is considered as plain text and not as XML text, even if its content is XML. Do I need to use a special function to cast the CLOB as XML?
Thanks for your help.

How to Display XML data on a Window within my JDev App?
I want to display some XML data stored on the database (in a CLOB field) in such a way that the XML tags and values are colored/highlighted as if they were read in a browser like Internet Explorer.
Currently I am displaying the data using a JEditorPane field and the results are hard to read as the tags and values show on the same color and in plain text.
I want to dispay this within my application (9i), not going to an external browser; i.e. I want the window (panel) to act as a browser when displaying the data.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.You can use utl_http in the database to call the webservice and display the result in a form item.

[email protected]Hi i need to write the data from an XML file to a Microsoft SQL SErver database!
i got a piece of code from the net which allows me to parse th file:
import java.io.IOException;

import org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser;
import java.lang.*;

try
XMLReader parser = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");

parser.setContentHandler(MySaxParserInstance);
parser.parse(uri);

idx += INDENT;
System.out.println('\n' + getIndent() + "start element: " + localName);
if (localName.compareTo("Machine") == 0)
System.out.println("YES");
if (attributes.getLength() > 0)
idx += INDENT;
for (int i = 0; i < attributes.getLength(); i++)
attList = attList + attributes.getLocalName(i) + " = " + attributes.getValue(i);

idx-= INDENT;
private String getIndent()
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0; i < idx; i++)
sb.append(" ");
return sb.toString();
}// END PRGM
Now , am not a very good Java DEv. and i need to find a soln. to this prob within 1 week.
The next step is to write the data to the DB.
Am sending an example of my file:
<Start>
<Machine>
<Hostname> IPCServer </Hostname>
<HostID> 80c04499 </HostID>
<MachineType> sun4u [ID 466748 kern.info] Sun Ultra 5/10 UPA/PCI (UltraSPARC-IIi 360MHz) </MachineType>
<CPU> UltraSPARC-IIi at 360 MHz </CPU>
<Memory> RAM : 512 MB </Memory>
<HostAdapter>
<HA> kern.info] </HA>
</HostAdapter>
<Harddisks>
<HD>
<HD1> c0t0d0 ctrl kern.info] target 0 lun 0 </HD1>
<HD2> ST38420A 8.2 GB </HD2>
</HD>
</Harddisks>
<GraphicCard> m64B : PCI PGX 8-bit +Accel. </GraphicCard>
<NetworkType> hme0 : Fast-Ethernet </NetworkType>
<EthernetAddress> 09:00:30:C1:34:90 </EthernetAddress>
<IPAddress> 149.51.23.140 </IPAddress>
</Machine>
</Start>
Note that i can have more than 1 machines (meaning that i have to loop thru the file to be able to write to the DB)
Cal u tellme what to do!
Even better- do u have a piece of code that will help me understand and implement the database writing portion?
I badly need help here.
