Importing XMLTYPE columns

Hi,
I'm trying to use exp/imp utilities to backup my schema.
One of the tables (REQUEST) has an XMLTYPE column in it. I can successfully export the user with all objects:
exp userid=testuser/testuser@qabfi parfile==exp_testuser.dat
But when
I'm trying to imp the user, I'm getting an Oracle error:
imp testuser/testuser@qabfi file=testuser.dmp full=yes
. . importing table "REQUEST"
IMP-00058: ORACLE error 942 encountered
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
IMP-00028: partial import of previous table rolled back: 40 rows roll back
Actually, no rows are imported.
But after I drop XMLTYPE column from REQUEST table, exp/imp work just fine.
Does anybody know anything about this problem, and is there any workaround?
Thanks -
Alla

Could be a bug. Refer to Note 526464.996 on Metalink

  • Impdp, XMLType column and ora-26093

    Hello!
    I have some problem with importing XMLType columns with data longer than 2000 symbols.
    Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
    test data:
    create table some_tab (id varchar2(10), xml XMLType);
    insert into some_tab values('short', XMLType('<foo></foo>'));
    -- we use clob to pass more than 2000 symbols
    declare
    c clob := '<x> || lpad('</x>', 2700, 'a');
    begin
    insert into some_tab values('long', XMLType(c));
    end;
    then I export data with expdp...
    and if I import dump into other schema on the same server - that's ok,
    BUT if I import data into schema on other server - I have this error:
    KUP-11007: conversion error loading table ......
    ORA-26093: input data column size (2707) exceeds the maximum input size (2000)
    KUP-11009: data for row: ....
    what I'm doing wrong?
    thank you

    Currently no workaround is available for this, although 11gR2 should have it fixed.

  • Import is very Slow with xmltype column in oracle 9.2.0.7

    Hi
    We are using oracle 9.2.0.7 on Solaris
    The import without XMLTYPE column is faster the import of the table with XMLTYPE column.Also when we do the export in direct path it is still going for Conventional(I suppose this is correct for XMLTYPE).
    Is this the general behaviour of XMLTYPE...if so how to improve the performance of the import.
    Can anybody help us out in resolving the issue.

  • How to create index on XMLType column extension?

    I have an XMLType column named "info" whose corresponding global element has a complexType "InfoType" in namespace "http://example.org/ord". The "InfoType" complexType is extended in two namespaces, "http://example.org/info/zipcode" and "http://example.org/info/street". How do I create a unique index using an "InfoType" element contributed from one of the extension namespaces?
    I have included below a SQL script that completely describes the problem.
    Thanks in advance for your assistance?

  • Problems sorting larger sets of XMLType columns/tables

    Hi,
    Here's something I tried to wrap my head around:
    I'm using Oracle 11g r1 for Windows Server 2003.
    I've imported a fairly large set of XML files into a temporary XMLType table. Now
    I want to sort the contents of the table and put them into another table which
    uses a sequence to get primary keys (would be a longer story to explain, basically
    sorting by this non-XML primary key is super-fast as opposed to everything else
    I've tried, plus I need something unique):
    INSERT INTO realtable SELECT 0, object_value
    FROM tmptable ORDER BY extractValue(object_value, '/some/*/field');It works fine for a very small number of rows but when I tried with about 30000 rows,
    still not too much, two kinds of things can happen. Either, Oracle gobbles up a huge amount
    of memory (>1,5GB) until the statement breaks:
    ORA-04030: Zu wenig Prozessspeicher fⁿr Versuch 33292 Bytes zuzuweisen
    (callheap,kllcqgf:kllsltba)Or I get something like this:
    ORA-00600: Interner Fehlercode, Argumente: [kqludp2], [0x1F31EC94], [0], [], [], [], [], []I haven't wasted too much time looking into this. I tried storage options clob and binary xml
    for tmptable. Clob seems to induce the latter problem and binary xml the former but I haven't
    made further experiments.
    I can create a workaround from outside Oracle I think, so it's not serious however I'd would
    be interesting to know what happened or if there is a better way to do this.
    Thanks!

    Unfortunately, the problems are not reproducible in a meaningful way. All I can say is that once a statement will result in a kqludp2, it will always fail with the exactly same error message until I reinstall the database from scratch. On the other
    side, when I found a configuration that works, I could delete and rebuild/refill a table multiple times without the thing ever breaking.
    As the most recent example, after the latest trouble I deleted the database and changed my DDL scripts to the last configuration I wanted to try and broke the last time (several tables with two normal columns and an XMLType column each), everything worked like a breeze.
    I can file a TAR when I get a support ID from my employer, however I installed the database on a virtual machine (I should have mentioned that earlier) and Oracle doesn't officially support that configuration from what I know so I'll doubt they'll do anything about it. I've procured a physical computer now and try to reproduce any of the problems when I get to it.

  • Copy table xmltype column

    A collegue just asked me the following:
    He wants to copy data from one database table to the same table on another database. The table has a XMLTYPE column. Is there a way other than export/import to copy the table to a file including XML-Values and Insert from the file to the target table?
    Export/Import seems the correct approach to me, however he doesn't have neccessary rights to do so. Do you know any easy other way?

    Why not use a DB link?
    XMLTypes can be copied through DB links:
    SQL> create table t as select * from t@dev1;
    Table created.
    SQL> select table_name, column_name, data_type from user_tab_cols where table_name = 'T';
    TABLE_NAME                     COLUMN_NAME                    DATA_TYPE
    T                              X                              XMLTYPE
    T                              SYS_NC00002$                   CLOB

  • How to store XML fragments in a XMLTYPE column

    Hi all,
    maybe just another newbie question.
    I've imported a lot of xml documents into an Oracle table with a xmltype column (stored as CLOB). Now I try to select a specific part of these documents and store thsi xml fragment in another table, also in a xmltype column.
    Unfortunately this doesn't work, I get ORA-19010: Cannot insert XML fragments.
    What can I do to store part of a xml document?
    Best regards
    Matthias

    Is there a way to transform the xml fragments into valid xml documents?

    Hi Eric,
    You can use XMLExists, like this :
    select *
    from message t
    where xmlexists(
          'declare namespace env = "http://www.co.com/schemas/cfg-env/"; (: :)
           declare namespace hdr = "http://www.co.com/schemas/cfg-hdr/"; (: :)
           /env:Envelope/env:Header/hdr:MessageHeader/hdr:UserSession[hdr:LogonId=$id]'
           passing t.message_content_txt
                 , 'R099999' as "id"
    );

    According to the documentation, I should be able to create a structured XMLIndex on the XMLType column with the following syntax:
    SQL> create index eci_schema.rev_item_earn_dtl_virt_xmlix on eci_schema.rev_item_earn_dtl_virtual
    2 (INV_DTL_IMG)
    3 INDEXTYPE IS XDB.XMLIndex
    4 parameters ('PATH TABLE RIED_PATH_TABLE')
    5 local;
    When I do this, I get the following error:
    create index eci_schema.rev_item_earn_dtl_virt_xmlix on eci_schema.rev_item_earn_dtl_virtual
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-29958: fatal error occurred in the execution of ODCIINDEXCREATE routine
    ORA-30959: The indexed column is not stored in CLOB.
    What am I doing wrong? Based on the Oracle documentation, I was under the impression that 11.2 XMLIndex would work with Object Relational storage. Is this not the case?

    CREATE INDEX ECI_SCHEMA.REV_ITEM_EARN_DTL_IX7
           ON ECI_SCHEMA.REV_ITEM_EARN_DTL
                      extractValue(inv_dtl_img, '/revenueInvoice/service/transportation/mstrTrkngNbr')

    /Elements that occur at most once in each document can be indexed using extractValue(). Despite the fact that the index appears to be a functional index, when we create the index we automatically re-write the create index into a normal btree index on the column that contains the value for the element identified by the xpath.
    Eg in the case of a functional index based on extractValue, defined on XMLType using Object relational storage, with an xpath that identifies a node that occurs at most once in each document is not a functional index, it's re-written into a plain old vanilla btree index. You can actually check this by looking in the system tables
    Eg
    SQL> connect system/oracle
    Connected.
    SQL> select table_name, index_name from all_indexes where owner = 'OE' and table_name = 'PURCHASEORDER';
    TABLE_NAME                     INDEX_NAME
    PURCHASEORDER                  LINEITEM_TABLE_MEMBERS
    PURCHASEORDER                  ACTION_TABLE_MEMBERS
    PURCHASEORDER                  SYS_C0011037
    SQL> alter session set current_schema = OE
      2  /
    Session altered.
    SQL> create unique index PO_REF_INDEX on PURCHASEORDER (extractValue(object_value,'/PurchaseOrder/Reference'));
    Index created.
    SQL> set lines 250
    SQL> select index_name, index_type from all_indexes where owner = 'OE' and table_name = 'PURCHASEORDER';
    INDEX_NAME                     INDEX_TYPE
    PO_REF_INDEX                   NORMAL
    LINEITEM_TABLE_MEMBERS         NORMAL
    ACTION_TABLE_MEMBERS           NORMAL
    SYS_C0011037                   NORMAL
    SQL> select * from dba_ind_expressions where table_name = 'PURCHASEORDER' and index_owner = 'OE'
      2  /
    no rows selectedFrom the above we can see that the index created on extractValue has been re-written in a plain old vanilla BTREE index, and there is no definition for it in dba_ind_expressions So assuming you were able to create the index and insert the data you should find that your index is not a functional index.

  • How to rename element (node) names in an XMLType column?

    I have a source table with a xml data stored in an XMLType column.
    The xml contains elements/nodes identified by numbers. I need to replace the numbers with the appropriate names.
    The plsql below does this, but has two issues:
    i. It selects the data into a clob and does a text replace on the elements in a loop. This works, but is super slow for 3500+ xml rows (about 500 node pairs per row).
    ii. Once the data has had the element numbers replaced with the names, it inserts the new xml (clob wrapped in xmltype function) into the table with the XMLType attribute.
    The problem with the latter action is that it is failing due to nls client vs server settings, or so it appears from what I could dig up. The actual error message:
    ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
    LPX-00242: invalid use of ampersand ('&') character (use &amp;)
    Error at line 3
    There are come entities in the original xml like "&#61616;" (the degree symbol).
    My question is two-fold:
    a). Can I replace the element names without straying from the xmltype datatype? If so, how?
    b). If I cannot do "a.)", then what must I do ensure that the clob gets converted correctly to xmltype and inserted into the table?
    SQL> select <some rows> from nls_database_parameters ;

    NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
    NLS_CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1

    SQL> SELECT * FROM NLS_SESSION_PARAMETERS;
    PARAMETER VALUE

    NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
    ----code below-----
    (note, this is a stripped down version of the original, so there may be typos)
    declare
    l_xmlclob CLOB;
    l_newxml XMLType;
    v_record_uid NUMBER(20);
    CURSOR my_cur IS
    select a.elementname,b.tagname
    from t_elements a, t_tags b
    where (a.element_uid = b.element_uid)
    begin
    select br.xml_data.getClobVal() xml_data into l_xmlclob from t_elements;
    FOR my_rec IN my_cur LOOP
    l_xmlclob := replace(l_xmlclob,my_cur.elementname,my_cur.maptag_name);
    END LOOP;
    l_newxml := XMLType(l_xmlclob);
    insert into test_translated_xml (xml_data) values (l_newxml);
    end;
    (hopefully I haven't missed anything)
    Any tips or hints would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hello again,
    Take a look at html entity codes: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_entities.asp.
    You can use this:
    insert into t values (xmltype('<test>'||dbms_xmlgen.convert('this is a test &')||'deg;</test>'));
    or
    insert into t values (xmltype('<test>'||dbms_xmlgen.convert('this is a test &')||'#176;</test>'));
    see this: &deg; (& deg;) or this: &#176; (& #176;)
    SQL*Plus will not display degree character. But this is valid enitity code, and when you generate HTML out of this, it should be displayed properly in web browser.
    HTML is in fact XML, that is validated by specific DTD (Document Type Definition).

  • How can i change a xmltype column's xml schema?

    i create a table that have a xmltype column.this column is schema-based.
    my problem is ,
    now i want to this column's schema will be redefined to a global schema?
    [b]how can i change the column's schema which already have a schema?

    When a schema is registered a lot of additonal annotations are added to the XML schema by the schema registration process - Look at the version of the XML schema under /sys/schemas/... in the XML DB repository. This information is unqiue to that version of the XML schema and is used internally to manage instance level metadata.
    When instance documents are stored in the DB a set of metadata is generated for each document so that we can make sure that we can maintain DOM Fidelity. This metadata is tied directly to the XML schema the document is associated and is only valid in the context of that XML Schema.
    So when the schema is registered locally and instances are stored the generated metadata is only valid in the context of the local schema. If the same schema is now registered globally new values will be generated for the annotations applied to the global version of the XML schema. Consequently the metadata associated with a document belonging to the local version of the XML schema has no meaning when viewed in the context of the global version of the XML schema.
    The net effect of this is that you will need to copy the data in order to get documents where the metadata for each document is based on the global version of the XML SChema.

  • How can I import db column comments into the OBIEE presentation layer?

    We have a very well designed data mart - it is a star schema and all the fact and dimension table columns have comments in them with their definition and use. There is virtually no change required in the physical or business layer. The only modifications done in the presentation layer was to hide the Pk/Fk columns.
    Is there a way to import these column comments into the presentation layer so that the business user can see this comment in the tool tip while hovering over the presentation column in Answers?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    I assume the comments you mean are stored in user_tab_comments and user_col_comments.
    When this is the case you should do the following:
    Go to your subject area in your presentation layer. For now I assume the name of this subject area is "Subject Area".
    Then right click on this subject area and check "Externalize Descriptions".
    Then create an initialization block (session) using this query:
    (select 'CD_Subject_Area_' || table_name, comments from user_tab_comments)
    union all
    (select 'CD_Subject_Area_' || table_name || '_' || column_name, comments from user_col_comments)
    Use "Row-wise initialization" for this initialization block.
    Two comments:
    1) Like I said, I assume Subject Area is the name of your subject area in your presentation layer, so I guess you need to replace this with the name of your Subject Area.
    But be sure that you replace each space ' ' with an underscore '_'.
    2) Maybe you need to refine above querys by filtering on table_name for those table_names you are using.
    Good luck.

  • XMLType column based on XML Schema: several questions

    Hi,
    I've a table on an oracle db version 10.1.0.4 where I stage the xml files containing orders created on a third party's system using BizTalk.
    Although the storage I opted for is based on an XML Schema, defined by this third-party, I am facing big perfomance issues with files bigger than a few hundreds of kBs.
    For instance, a 32Mb file takes more than 2 hours to be processed.
    Now, after reading other threads in this forum and the documentation, my understanding of the problem is that the whole issue is with the correct indexing of the nested tables.

    When I registered the XMLSchema, the following types and tables were automatically created and you can see the hierarchy below:
    (by the way, I could not find any xdb_utilities.printNestedTables mentioned elsewhere)
    XML_ORDERS
    |_PickData381_T
    |___ProdRun382_T
    |_____PickWave388_COLL
    |_______PickWave383_T
    |_________Customer387_COLL
    |___________Customer384_T
    |_____________InvOrder386_COLL
    These objects are then used in the following nested tables:
    TABLE_NAME     TABLE_TYPE_NAME     PARENT_TABLE_NAME     PARENT_TABLE_COLUMN
    SYS_NTaK/5zar5S0WitSsgu6OKPQ==     PickWave388_COLL     PickData389_TAB     "XMLDATA"."ProdRun"."PickWave"

    Note that I cancelled this operation before it was over so I imagine that these figures refer to the statistics as of the time when the operation was interrupted.
    So, here are finally my questions.
    In order to create the constraints on the nested tables as shown in other threads, do I need to drop the existing xml_orders table and ancillary object types and recreate them or is there a way to add such constraints using the existing system generated object names?
    Secondly, the xml_orders table may contain severale documents, not just one and his current primary key is the column ID. So, in order to uniquely identify the deepest element in the xml document, I need first to select the relevant document by means of the id column.
    Would it be better to create the indexes containing this id column together with the nested_table_id and array_index?
    Thanks for you help.

    PS: I wrote a 10 lines xsl transformation that I passed on to Saxon together with the 32Mb file. It took less than 1 minute to produce a flat file that was loaded almost instantly by SQL*Loader. So, what I am looking for is a procedure loading this stuff in less than 2 minutes or possibly less.

    Does the following help

    The xml is very long. For inserting into the table I am using xmlparse() function to get XMLType.
    While doing this I am getting ORA-01704: string literal too long error. It says can accommodate at the most 4000 characters.
    I guess XMLType is stored as a CLOB by default.So it should allow more than 4000 characters.
    How can I store xml with more than 4000 characters.
    Thanks.

    XMLParse is a SQL function, so you can't use a string literal longer than 4000 chars.
    Instead, you may declare a PL/SQL VARCHAR2 variable, which can hold up to 32k characters, and then use the XMLType constructor :
    DECLARE
    xmlstr VARCHAR2(32767) := '<xml string here>';
    xmldoc xmltype;
    BEGIN
    xmldoc := xmltype(xmlstr);
    INSERT INTO your_table(xml_data) VALUES(xmldoc);
    END;For strings longer than 32k, you'll probably have to load it from a file.
