Removing Default Namespaces from XML

Hi All,
I am having a situation where I can't remove the default
namespace from XML mainly
because there is no namespace prefix.
I hope this code snipped makes better sense.
function test():void
document:XML =
<test xmlns:soap="
http://example.com" xmlns="
http://swanmokshi.com">
<item>peter</item>
<item>jenny</item>
<item>JK Angel</item>
<test>
// I can remove the soap namespace by doing the following
soap:Namespace = document.namespace("soap");
document.removeNamespace(soap).
Alert.show(document.toXMLString()); // should now display
the xml document without the soap namespace
Note that removing the soap namespace is easy because of the
first namespace is named "soap". How do
I removed the unnamed namespace, xmlns="
http://swanmokshi.com" ?
regards,
Arun

Same problem for me.
XPath expression failed to execute. Error while processing xpath expression, the expression is "ora:processXSLT("Transformation_2.xsl", bpws:getVariableData("PartyID", "Header"))", the reason is Character reference "&#24" is an invalid XML character.. Please verify the xpath query.

How to remove default value from table definition?

Hi,
running 9.2
Following problem :
I need to remove default value from table.
Example
CREATE TABLE MY_TABLE(
NAME VARCHAR2(50) DEFAULT 'NAME',
AGE NUMBER DEFAULT 0
Now even when I use MODIFY like
ALTER TABLE MY_TABLE MODIFY (NAME VARCHAR2(10) );
The default is still there:
SELECT DATA_DEFAULT FROM USER_TAB_COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'MY_TABLE';
Is there any way?
Thanks

Thanks,
found the answer. It is not possible!!!!
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_3001.htm
Note:
If a column has a default value, then you can use the DEFAULT clause to change the default to NULL, but you cannot remove the default value completely. That is, if a column has ever had a default value assigned to it, then the DATA_DEFAULT column of the USER_TAB_COLUMNS data dictionary view will always display either a default value or NULL

How to remove the prolog from XML in Oracle?

Our system works like this:
1. Pass in a piece of XML to the database as a CLOB
2. Database converts this to XMLTYPE (stored as a CLOB (you can skip over this, Marco *{;-) ))
3. An application then reads the XML from the database and inserts it into another bit of XML
4. The application continues its processing based on this new composite XML.
Up until now, the XML loaded into the database in step 1 (by various systems) has never contained a prolog. However, a new system has come along and is now passing in a prolog. This causes problems for the application in step 3.
Aside from trying to get the new system to not pass in the prolog, is there a way to remove it from within Oracle?
The two solutions I've come up with don't feel elegant:
1. Use XMLTABLE to extract the main root node (which could be different, depending on which system sent in the data, and could change)
2. Convert the prolog into a comment, using REPLACE, before converting the CLOB into an XMLTYPE.
If I was forced to use one of these methods, I'd go with 2, but I really, really hope there's a better way of doing it.
Has anyone got any other suggestions, please?
PS. We're currently on 10.2.0.4 and are shortly about to move to 11.2.0.3, but the solution has to work on both versions, for added fun and excitement!

This is the error the application gives: "Error obtaining Additional Info SAX Exception : No processing instruction starts with 'xml'" which the app dev says is due to the presence of the prolog in the middle of the xml the app has build up.So basically, the app just "pastes" the XML in the middle of another without caring about the structure? What kind of design is that?
IMO, the app has to be fixed, not the input XML.
Plenty about how to add the prolog, nothing about how to remove it!You can use XMLQuery function to extract the root element :
SQL> create table tmp_xml3 of xmltype
2 xmltype store as basicfile clob;
Table created
SQL> insert into tmp_xml3 values (xmltype('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><root/>'));
1 row inserted
SQL> select * from tmp_xml3;
SYS_NC_ROWINFO$
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><root/>
SQL>
SQL> select xmlquery('*' passing object_value returning content)
2 from tmp_xml3;
XMLQUERY('*'PASSINGOBJECT_VALU
<root/>

Hi,
Till now i tried the following code which give null pointer exception at following line
element.getParentNode().removeChild(element);
     public String removeUserByID(String id) throws Exception{
               DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
             DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
             TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
             Transformer tFormer = tFactory.newTransformer();
               doc = builder.parse(usersXml);
             Element element = (Element)doc.getElementsByTagName("user id="+id).item(0);
//             Remove the node
             element.getParentNode().removeChild(element);
//             Normalize the DOM tree to combine all adjacent nodes
             doc.normalize();
             FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(this.usersXml);
               XMLOutputter out = new XMLOutputter();
               out.output(((org.jdom.Document)doc), fos);
          /*     Source source = new DOMSource(doc);

             tFormer.transform(source, dest);
             System.out.println();
             return "true";
          if following line i m trying to use first attribute of my XML file where i am passing a string which is for example like "user id=Guest". id is a string which have user Id "Guest".

either this way we can do this
1)
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
<b> factory.setIgnoringElementContentWhitespace(true); </b>
DocumentBuilder db = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
or
2)
java.io.StringWriter sw = new java.io.StringWriter();
StreamResult sr = new StreamResult(sw);
t.transform(new DOMSource(doc), sr);
String xml1 = sw.toString().trim();
<b> xml1=xml1.replaceAll("\\s",""); </b>

How to remove elements/attributes from XML using Xpath in XSLT ??

Hello ,
Is there anyway or method of Xpath from which I can delete the elements and attributes from XML at runtime ??
Like I have such XML and I have to remove per attribute highlighted below
<person per="and">
<e:emp a="ir" b="ad" >
</e:emp>
</person>
And want a result like this
<person>
<e:emp a="ir" b="ad" >
</e:emp>
</person>
Thanks

To achieve this you can use the bpelx:remove function: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12483_01/integrate.1013/b28981/manipdoc.htm#CIHJBJFD
your assign will look like:
<bpel:assign>
<bpelx:remove>
<target variable="person" query="/person/@per" />
</bpelx:remove>
</bpel:assign>

However this solution removes most of the whitespaces, I want exact output as flash file is expecting so..
Where ever I am calling the CF functions, there I am getting the whitespaces. like below cases.
startdate="#getProjectStartDate(sProjectIdList)#" -> output I am getting for this statement is -> " 12/09/2009 "
Please assist me...

How to remove empty tags from XML

Hello,
I have a XML file which contains some empty tags and some values with "?". I need to remove all empty tags and tags which have a value "?".
Sample Data:
<a>
<b></b>
<c> Hello </c>
<d>world ?</d>
<e>oracle</e>
</a>
Expected result:
<a>
<c> Hello </c>
<e>oracle</e>
</a>
Thank you for your time.
Thanks,

Dear Odie,
May I make your example a bit more complicated by adding an additional complexType, please:
---Original ----
<DEPT>
<EMPID>1</EMPID>
<EMPNAME>Martin Chadderton</EMPNAME>
<SALARY>??</SALARY>
<SALARYq></SALARYq>
</DEPT>
----- New ----
<DEPT>
<EMPID>1</EMPID>
<EMPNAME>Martin Chadderton</EMPNAME>
<SALARY>??</SALARY>
<SALARYq></SALARYq>
<EMPLMNT_HISTORY>
<DEVISION>1</DEVISION>
<FROM_DATE>2011-01-01 </FROM_DATE>
<TO_DATE></TO_DATE>
</EMPLMNT_HISTORY>
</DEPT>
Your solution works perfectly for <SALARY>, but how would you suggest also to deal with <TO_DATE> ?
Massive thanks for your help!
N.B. Just to emphasise, in my case I have 3 levels (complexType > complexType > complexType) and many elements and I would like to know if there is any generic option to say
to remove all the empty elements from the result, as it causes to the SSJ (Systinet) Webservice to crash.

How to remove xmlns attribute from XML tag?

Hello!
I have a XMLType document:
--- P R O B L E M # 1 ---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1257" ?>
<RESPONSE xmlns="http://testserver" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://testserver response.xsd">
<DATA REQUEST_ID="111">
<ENTITY name="PACKAGE_001">
<ATTRIBUTE name="PERS_ID" value="1111" />
<ATTRIBUTE name="FIRST_NAME" value="OLGA" />
<ATTRIBUTE name="SURNAME" value="NOVIKOVA" />
</ENTITY>
</DATA>
</RESPONSE>
I very need to remove from RESPONSE tag all addition information. Result I need is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1257" ?>
<RESPONSE>
<DATA REQUEST_ID="111">
<ENTITY name="PACKAGE_001">
<ATTRIBUTE name="PERS_ID" value="1111" />
<ATTRIBUTE name="FIRST_NAME" value="OLGA" />
<ATTRIBUTE name="SURNAME" value="NOVIKOVA" />
</ENTITY>
</DATA>
</RESPONSE>
What can I do in this situation? My Oracle version is 9.2.
--- P R O B L E M # 2 ---
How I can create from source XML this one:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1257" ?>
<MY_RESPONSE>
<RESPONSE xmlns="http://testserver" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://testserver response.xsd">
<DATA REQUEST_ID="111">
<ENTITY name="PACKAGE_001">
<ATTRIBUTE name="PERS_ID" value="1111" />
<ATTRIBUTE name="FIRST_NAME" value="OLGA" />
<ATTRIBUTE name="SURNAME" value="NOVIKOVA" />
</ENTITY>
</DATA>
</RESPONSE>
</MY_RESPONSE>
Thanks for your answers!
Flu

Maybe the problem#1 can be solved with a simple pl/sql using REPLACE statement. start with the <RESPONSE and look for the end > and get the entire string and replace that with only <RESPONSE> or maybe you can achieve this using xmldom to delete the attributes as part of the element.
PRoblem#2 can be solved in this way.
select xmlelement("MY_RESPONSE",
xmltype('<RESPONSE xmlns="http://testserver" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://testserver response.xsd">
<DATA REQUEST_ID="111">
<ENTITY name="PACKAGE_001">
<ATTRIBUTE name="PERS_ID" value="1111" />
<ATTRIBUTE name="FIRST_NAME" value="OLGA" />
<ATTRIBUTE name="SURNAME" value="NOVIKOVA" />
</ENTITY>
</DATA>
</RESPONSE>')).GetClobVal()

Post Author: sijdk

hi,
it is working. but, it is not the answer which i expected.
let me explain my scenario first. we have added two date filters in report,that should have date selection with start range and end range, so, it is like two separate fileds which is titled has date start range and date end range. but, with that we are getting "include this value" and no upper value" checkboxes.
actually we dont want those checkboxes but we want start range and end range. if i select "allow range value" is false, startrange and endrange is not coming. what to do? how to solution?
also, can u explain me what is the meaning of "include this value,no lower value and no upper value". please.

How to insert the data from XML to a table

Hi,
I'm using Oracle 10g Express Edition
I need help in How to insert the data from XML file into the table.
Below is the example i'm working on..
I have create ridb user with below mentioned privileges:
Account Status Locked Unlocked
Default Tablespace: USERS
Temporary Tablespace: TEMP
User Privileges :
Roles:
CONNECT
RESOURCE
Direct Grant System Privileges:
CREATE DATABASE LINK
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW
CREATE PROCEDURE
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM
CREATE ROLE
CREATE SEQUENCE
CREATE SYNONYM
CREATE TABLE
CREATE TRIGGER
CREATE TYPE
CREATE VIEW
& table is created TRIALZIPCODES below mentioned is the DDL:
CREATE TABLE TRIALZIPCODES
STATE_ABBR VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL
, ZIP_CODE NUMBER(10, 0) NOT NULL
, ZIP_CODE_EXT VARCHAR2(20)
Below is the XML FILE: which is stored in C:\OracleProject Folder
File name: trial.xml
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<metadata>
- <Zipcodes>
- <mappings Record="4">
<STATE_ABBREVIATION>CA</STATE_ABBREVIATION>
<ZIPCODE>94301</ZIPCODE>
</mappings>
- <mappings Record="5">
<STATE_ABBREVIATION>CO</STATE_ABBREVIATION>
<ZIPCODE>80323</ZIPCODE>
<ZIP_CODE_EXTN>9277</ZIP_CODE_EXTN>
</mappings>
</Zipcodes>
</metadata>
PL/SQL Procedure:which i'm trying to execute from SQLDeveloper
create or replace
PROCEDURE TRIAL AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
-- declare attributes
charString varchar2(80);
finalStr varchar2(4000) := null;
rowsp integer;
v_FileHandle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
l_context_handle dbms_xmlgen.ctxHandle;
insCtx DBMS_XMLStore.ctxType;
begin
-- DBMS_XMLGEN.setRowTag ( ctx IN ctxHandle, rowTag IN VARCHAR2);
-- DBMS_XMLGEN.setRowSetTag ( ctx IN ctxHandle, rowSetTag IN VARCHAR2);
-- the name of the table as specified in our DTD
DBMS_XMLGEN.SETROWSETTAG(l_context_handle,'zipcodes');
-- the name of the data set as specified in our DTD
DBMS_xmlgen.setRowTag(l_context_handle,'mappings');
-- for getting the output on the screen
dbms_output.enable(1000000);
-- open the XML document in read only mode
v_FileHandle := utl_file.fopen('c:/OracleProject','trial.xml', 'r');
loop
BEGIN
utl_file.get_line(v_FileHandle, charString);
exception
when no_data_found then
utl_file.fclose(v_FileHandle);
exit;
END;
dbms_output.put_line(charString);
if finalStr is not null then
finalStr := finalStr || charString;
else
finalStr := charString;
end if;
end loop;
-- for inserting the XML data into the table
insCtx := DBMS_XMLSTORE.NEWCONTEXT('RIDB.TRIALZIPCODES');
insCtx := DBMS_XMLSTORE.INSERTXML(insCtx, finalStr);
dbms_output.put_line('INSERT DONE '||TO_CHAR(rowsp));
DBMS_XMLStore.closeContext(insCtx);
END;
END TRIAL;
For the first time when i complied i got the errors as :
Procedure RIDB.PROCEDURE1@RIDB
Error(16,14): PLS-00201: identifier 'UTL_FILE' must be declared
Error(16,14): PL/SQL: Item ignored
Error(29,1): PLS-00320: the declaration of the type of this expression is incomplete or malformed
Error(29,1): PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Error(33,1): PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Error(33,19): PLS-00320: the declaration of the type of this expression is incomplete or malformed
Error(36,1): PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Error(36,17): PLS-00320: the declaration of the type of this expression is incomplete or malformed
So i logged in as sys & grant the permission to execute on UTL_FILE to ridb (user):
SQL Statement:
grant execute on utl_file to ridb
So, it got compiled successfully but when i execute it gives me error as:
Source does not have a runnable target.
What does this mean?
So I browse through forum & i got to know that i need to initial the UTL_FILE_DIR ="C:/OracleProject" in init.ora
So can i edit the init.ora with notepad.When i tried to do that it says permission denied
In my system it shows the init.ora file in path C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\config\scripts
but there is also other file initXETemp in the same path do i need to do the changes in it.
I have tried even editing the SPFILE as mentioned below:
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\dbs\SPFILEEXE - I had edit this file using notepad & set the value of UTL_FILE_DIR ="C:/OracleProject". So next time when i restarted i'm unable to log on to the database.
So i had reinstall the software again.
Could you please let me know how to proceed..

hi,
I have created the directory from sys database
CREATE or replace DIRECTORY XML_DIR2 AS 'C:\OracleProject';
& grant read,write access to the user
grant read,write on directory XML_DIR2 to RIDB;
& i had change the tag name in the xml file as shown below:
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<metadata>
<Zipcodes>
<mappings Record="4">
<STABBRE>CA</STABBRE>
<ZIPCODE>94301</ZIPCODE>
</mappings>
<mappings Record="5">
<STABBRE>CO</STABBRE>
<ZIPCODE>80323</ZIPCODE>
<ZIPCODEEXT>9277</ZIPCODEEXT>
</mappings>
</Zipcodes>
</metadata>
TRIALZIPCODE table as shown below:
CREATE TABLE "RIDB"."TRIALZIPCODE"
(     "STABBRE" VARCHAR2(20 BYTE),
     "ZIPCODE" NUMBER(*,6) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "ZIPCODEEXT" NUMBER
) PCTFREE 10 PCTUSED 40 INITRANS 1 MAXTRANS 255 NOCOMPRESS LOGGING
STORAGE(INITIAL 65536 NEXT 1048576 MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS 2147483645
PCTINCREASE 0 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT)
TABLESPACE "USERS" ;
I have tried two methods as shown below:
Procedure 1:
create or replace
PROCEDURE TRIAL_V2 AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
-- declare attributes
charString varchar2(80);
finalStr varchar2(4000) := null;
rowsp integer;
v_FileHandle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
l_context_handle dbms_xmlgen.ctxHandle;
insCtx DBMS_XMLStore.ctxType;
cnt NUMBER;
xmldoc xmltype := xmltype( bfilename('XML_DIR2','trialxml.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8') );
--XML_DIR VARCHAR2(40) := 'C:\\OracleProject';
BEGIN
insCtx := DBMS_XMLStore.newContext('DEV.TRIALZIPCODES');
DBMS_XMLStore.setUpdateColumn(insCtx, 'STABBRE');
DBMS_XMLStore.setUpdateColumn(insCtx, 'ZIPCODE');
DBMS_XMLStore.setUpdatecolumn(insCtx, 'ZIPCODEEXT');
DBMS_XMLStore.setRowTag(insCtx, 'mappings');
cnt := DBMS_XMLStore.insertXML(insCtx, xmldoc);
DBMS_XMLStore.closeContext(insCtx);
END;
Procedure 1 was compiled with out errors but when i execute i got the error as :
Source does not have a runnable target.
Procedure 2_
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TRIAL_V3 AS
BEGIN
DECLARE
-- declare attributes
charString varchar2(80);
finalStr varchar2(4000) := null;
rowsp integer;
v_FileHandle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
l_context_handle dbms_xmlgen.ctxHandle;
insCtx DBMS_XMLStore.ctxType;
cnt NUMBER;
xmldoc xmltype := xmltype( bfilename('XML_DIR2','trialxml.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8') );
--XML_DIR VARCHAR2(40) := 'C:\\OracleProject';
BEGIN
INSERT INTO trialzipcode (STABBRE, ZIPCODE, ZIPCODEEXT)
SELECT extractvalue(x.column_value, 'mappings/STABBRE'),
extractvalue(x.column_value, 'mappings/ZIPCODE'),
extractvalue(x.column_value, 'mappings/ZIPCODEEXT')
FROM TABLE(
XMLSequence(
EXTRACT(
xmltype( bfilename('XML_DIR2','trialxml.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8') ),
'metadata/Zipcodes/mappings'
) x
END;
END TRIAL_V3;
Procedure 2 was complied without errors but when i execute i got the error as:
Connecting to the database RIDB.
ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed
The system cannot find the file specified.
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 523

Could you please let me know how to proceed...
