Tsql import from xml to table - sql server 2012 = (o row(s) affected)

Hello,
here is my XML header and footer:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<streetAndCities xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<record>
<rowIndex></rowIndex>
<cityCode></cityCode>
<cityName></cityName>
<streetCode></streetCode>
<streetName></streetName>
</record>
</streetAndCities>
with a bunch of <record></record> tags with data inside....
I'm trying to import data from my XML file to my new and empty table with the following code:
DECLARE @xml XML
SELECT @xml = x.y
FROM OPENROWSET( BULK 'c:\st.xml', SINGLE_CLOB ) x(y)
INSERT INTO tblCitiesStreets(rowIndex, cityCode, cityName, streetCode, streetName)
SELECT
x.y.value('(Column[@Name="rowIndex"]/text())[1]', 'INT') rowIndex,
x.y.value('(Column[@Name="cityCode"]/text())[1]', 'NVARCHAR(255)') cityCode,
x.y.value('(Column[@Name="cityName"]/text())[1]', 'NVARCHAR(255)') cityName,
x.y.value('(Column[@Name="streetCode"]/text())[1]', 'NVARCHAR(255)') streetCode,
x.y.value('(Column[@Name="streetName"]/text())[1]', 'NVARCHAR(255)') streetName
FROM @xml.nodes('Root/DataRow') AS x(y)
but the output I get is
(0 row(s) affected)
and of course when I select * from tblCitiesStreets, the table is empty.
what is wrong with the code?
regards

Nothing's wrong with your code. You're working with the wrong file OR - I guess - you have copied those XPath expressions without further looking at them..
This works with your XML:
DECLARE @xml XML = N'
<streetAndCities xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<record>
<rowIndex>1</rowIndex>
<cityCode>2</cityCode>
<cityName>3</cityName>
<streetCode>4</streetCode>
<streetName>5</streetName>
</record>
</streetAndCities>';
SELECT Record.value('rowIndex[1]', 'INT') rowIndex ,
Record.value('cityCode[1]', 'NVARCHAR(255)') cityCode ,
Record.value('cityName[1]', 'NVARCHAR(255)') cityName ,
Record.value('streetCode[1]', 'NVARCHAR(255)') streetCode ,
Record.value('streetName[1]', 'NVARCHAR(255)') streetName
FROM @xml.nodes('streetAndCities/record') AS StreetsAndCities ( Record );

Importing from XML to Excel - need to know how to append to existing Excel file

Hello,
I have several XML files that I will need to import into one Excel spreadsheet. I have been able to figure out how to import an XML file to an Excel file but when I import a second XML file, the contents of the second XML overwrite the Excel spreadsheet.
I am looking for an option to append. Thanks in advance
private void XmlToExcel(string xmlFilePath, string excelFilePath)
object misValue = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
DataSet Trans_ds = new System.Data.DataSet();
Trans_ds.ReadXml(xmlFilePath);
Excel.Application excel = new Excel.Application();
excel.Application.Workbooks.Add(true);
System.Data.DataTable table = Trans_ds.Tables[0];
Worksheet worksheet = (Worksheet)excel.ActiveSheet;
Range excelRange = (Excel.Range)worksheet.get_Range("A" + worksheet.Rows.Count, Type.Missing);
int lastRow = excelRange.get_End(XlDirection.xlUp).Row;
int ColumnIndex = 0;
int rowIndex = lastRow++;
foreach (System.Data.DataColumn col in table.Columns)
ColumnIndex++;
excel.Cells[lastRow, ColumnIndex] = col.ColumnName;
foreach (DataRow row in table.Rows)
rowIndex++;
ColumnIndex = 0;
foreach (DataColumn col in table.Columns)
ColumnIndex++;
excel.Cells[rowIndex + 1, ColumnIndex] = row[col.ColumnName];
worksheet.StandardWidth = 20.0;
worksheet.SaveAs(excelFilePath, misValue, misValue, misValue, misValue, misValue, misValue, misValue, misValue, misValue);
excel.Quit();
releaseObject(worksheet);
releaseObject(excel);

See if this helps. I opened the old excel file and added the new rows into the existing workbook.

Export to XML / import from xml

I would like to save my data (from various tables) in an XML document, and later re-import it to the database.
I am using Oracle 8.0. What are my best option? I saw there's a PL/SQL demo package DBXML on this site. But is there something that does the opposite direction (i.e., the import part)?

OTN has a sample app that might interest you:
XML Flight Finder queries the database and converts the result set to an XML document. It also takes input from a user, converts it to XML, then writes it to the database.

Partial import from XML file

Hello,
I need to import some specific nodes from a large XML file, into an Oracle table, containing columns not necessarily labeled identical to the XML nodes.
Can it bee done from within HTMLDB?
Thanks for the help,
Arie.

Arie,
You can certainly upload files with HTML DB, search the forum for file upload. Once you uploaded your XML file, you can parse it and process it however you want using Oracleâs XML DB features. You can post XML DB specific questions here:

Tables with varying columns imported from XML

Hi,
I have an XML file for a product catalog. Each product has Name, SKU, Image, Description and a Table with some data in it. Each table is different is size, varying number of columns and rows.
I have anchored objects for some of the elements like Image or SKU in my template.
When I load the XML I check 'Clone repeating elements' upon import so I can maintain the various anchored frames for my elements. However it breaks the tables. It appears that each new table is trying to copy the previous table's exact number of rows and columns. If I uncheck this option then I get the tables in right but I lose the rest of the formatting.
Any idea how I can handle this?
Thanks,
Luke

Luke,
We had the same problem doing a table of data that had varying columns and rows. For us, this was handled by adding table information such as cell width and cellstyle on the incoming XML (generated through a backend system that was also gathering the data into XML files, through using xml templates). We found that placeholder tables were not an option if you wanted the columns to be flexible, so instead the tables were being built by the XML.
If you are not using a backend system or don't have a way to customize the incoming data, I think you may be able to use XSLT as an intermediate way to apply more information to the XML (cell widths, etc) I am copying dummy tables below to show how the XML we used looked coming into the Indesign document. This code would all be contained within opening and closing "Root" tags in the XML. There are 3 separate tables (one called Summary, one actually called Table and one called Legend), each with its own cell widths and number of rows. The data container holds all tables, and a table growing in length will push the next table down on the page (or to the next page).
Note that each table has a different tag (name), but is described as a table through the information contained in its opening tag's attributes. We also used both namespaces (4.0 and 5.0) to take advantage of cellstyle as well as pstyle tags in the table body, allowing each cell and copy block to be styled differently when needed.

HTML bold text, imported from XML problem.

I have HTML content defined in an external XML file:
quote:
<textBody><p>First line of text containing some
<b>bold words</b>. More text with some <b>bold
words</b> and then two line breaks.<br /><br
/>Here's some more text with <b>some more bold
words</b> in the middle of it. Don't you think there's
something strange about the spacing around these <b>bold
words</b>? It seems to get worse with each extra appearance
of a <b>bold word</b>. Thank you <b>for
reading</b> my text.</p></textBody>
Here,
you can see a screenchot of the text rendered on screen from the
HTML above.
Many thanks for any help from anybody.

We think we've got the source of the problem - because the
textfield displaying the HTML is in a component. We believe the
letter spacing issue comes about from the component being resized.
The solution, as far as we can see is to simply use dynamic
textfields instead of components - OK for future development, but
what we've done already will need to be fixed by extra spaces in
various places.
Thanks for your suggestion Pal_w_g - guess it was your input
that provided the seed that led to the idea about the component.

Trouble with multiline text box reading from xml file

Hi,
I have a text area, set to multiline. For some reason, when my text imported from xml shows up in the box, it starts several lines down into the box. So for example, my Text box is positioned with the top at the midpoint of my stage, but the text starts about 3/4 down the page, about half way down the text box. Can someone please tell me why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?
I noticed that when I put my cursor in the box and move it up and down, the rest of the text 'scrolls' into the frame, but otherwise it's cut off. please help!
Thanks,
Stan

Can't import an xml file

Hi,
I am using Captivate 5.5 on Windows. I have an .swf file which needs to have an xml file with it in order for it to behave the way in which it was intended. The developer has said that the two files need to be included in the same folder.
I have no problem importing the swf file however I can't import the xml file which is called flashParams.xml. I have been editing the xml file in windows notepad and it is working perfectly outside Captivate. However when i try to import the xml, I get the message 'Cannot import XML'. I have been using File/Import/from xml to get the file loaded but no luck. I have also tried dragging it into the library but no luck here either.
Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong and how they would approach what surely must be a very simple task.
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Rod,
Thanks for the reply.
I think what I could do is to launch the swf by clicking on a link in the Captivate session to an external url (it will be hosted on Moodle). The one problem I have is that when I do this in Captivate, the slide refuses to pause and moves onto the next slide. What I would like is for the user to be able to click on the link for the url and for the slide to pause until the user clicks on a next button to go to the next slide.

Adobe not allowing import of XML file captured from Media Express through Black Magic capture card

I have been going crazy trying to find a way to import the XML files to fix the digitized look Adobe capture gave my footage. Someone help me
These are not XML from Final Cut. They are files saved from Media Express, a Black magic design program used for Capturing.
THANK YOU.
Please email me if you know how to fix this
[email protected]
THANKS AGAIN!

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to open the actual media files captured with the program?

From XML (import) for each record automatic new page creation?

Hello,
I'm playing around with XML.
Can someone tell me where to look and help me?
I load variable data via XML.
Example content xml:
<pages>
     <page>
         <id>1</id>
         <article>title page 1</article>
         <info>Info page 1</info>
         <price>price page 1</price>
     </page>
     <page>
         <id>2</id>
         <article>title page 2</article>
         <info>Info page 2</info>
         <price>price page 2</price>
     </page>
     <page>
         <id>3</id>
         <article>title page 3</article>
         <info>Info page 3</info>
         <price>price page 3</price>
     </page>
</pages>
I have 1 page classified (ie 3 text boxes). The idea is that for each record in the xml (in this case 1, 2 and 3) a new page is created (Qua layout identical to the page that I had prepared, but with the corresponding data in each box)
How do I do this?
Thanks!

If you need to keep the three parts of your page in separate text frames, you are probably out of luck.
I can't tell from your question whether you know how to tag frames and import XML content into them. If you don't, the manual is fairly clear on it. However, it states more than once that "InDesign flows merged XML content into existing frames only." That means that it won't add frames or pages for you -- you can only load XML into tagged frames on the first page and will have to add extra ones by hand.
If you could rework your design so that all the elements could be accommodated in a single text frame, using paragraph styles to keep them apart, you could just import the XML and map tags to styles, then drag it into a frame on the first pages. If your article style was set to start in a new frame, everything but the first would go into overset text, which you could deal with in the usual way -- shift-click on the in port of a new frame and InDesign will add the pages you need.
