I need to insert data into oracle table from XML file
If anybody handled this type of scenario, Please let me know how to insert data into oracle table from XML file
Thanks in advance

The XML DB forum provides the best support for XML topics related to Oracle.

Insert data into oracle table from XML script not working

Hi,
I wrote simple PL/SQL program to extract values from a XML file and disply all the employee names. But the first employee name repeating. Please can you tell me how to fix it.
set serveroutput on size 2000;
declare
indoc VARCHAR2(2000);
indomdoc dbms_xmldom.domdocument;
innode dbms_xmldom.domnode;
myParser dbms_xmlparser.Parser;
l_nl dbms_xmldom.DOMNodeList;
lv_value varchar2(30);
l_n dbms_xmldom.DOMNode;
begin
indoc := '<emp> <name> Scott </name>
<name> Tiger </name>
</emp>';
myParser := dbms_xmlparser.newParser;
dbms_xmlparser.parseBuffer(myParser, indoc);
indomdoc := dbms_xmlparser.getDocument(myParser);
innode := dbms_xmldom.makeNode(indomdoc);
l_nl := dbms_xslprocessor.selectNodes(dbms_xmldom.makeNode(indomdoc),'/emp/name');
dbms_output.put_line('Record count '||dbms_xmldom.getLength(l_nl));
FOR cur_emp IN 0 .. dbms_xmldom.getLength(l_nl) - 1 LOOP
l_n := dbms_xmldom.item(l_nl, cur_emp);
lv_value := dbms_xslprocessor.valueOf(l_n,'//name/text()');
dbms_output.put_line('Emp Name : '||lv_value);
END LOOP;
end;
/

Based on an earlier example of mine from {message:id=2826611}
This works in 10.2.x.x for sure. I can't recall (didn't look up) whether in 10.1 it allowed for going straight from a CLOB to a DOMDocument via newDomDocument.
declare
   indoc    VARCHAR2(2000);
   indomdoc dbms_xmldom.domdocument;
   l_nl     dbms_xmldom.DOMNodeList;
   lv_value VARCHAR2(30);
   l_n      dbms_xmldom.DOMNode;
   l_xmltype   XMLTYPE;
   l_index     PLS_INTEGER;
begin
   indoc := '<emp> <name> Scott </name>
   <name> Tiger </name>
   </emp>';
   indomdoc := dbms_xmldom.newDomDocument(indoc);
   l_nl := dbms_xslprocessor.selectNodes(dbms_xmldom.makeNode(indomdoc),'/emp/name');
   dbms_output.put_line('Record count '||dbms_xmldom.getLength(l_nl));
   -- Method 1
   FOR cur_emp IN 0 .. dbms_xmldom.getLength(l_nl) - 1 LOOP
      l_n := dbms_xmldom.item(l_nl, cur_emp);
      lv_value := dbms_xmldom.getnodevalue(dbms_xmldom.getfirstchild(l_n));
      dbms_output.put_line('Emp Name : '||lv_value);
   END LOOP;
   dbms_xmldom.freeDocument(indomdoc);
   -- Method 2
   dbms_output.new_line;
   l_xmltype := XMLTYPE(indoc);
   l_index := 1;
   WHILE l_xmltype.Existsnode('/emp/name[' || To_Char(l_index) || ']') > 0
   LOOP
      lv_value := l_xmltype.extract('/emp/name[' || To_Char(l_index) || ']/text()').getStringVal();
      dbms_output.put_line('Emp Name : '||lv_value);
      l_index := l_index + 1;
   END LOOP;

XML data into Oracle Tables. XML file on Application Server.Oracle Apps R12

Hi All,
My Database version : 11.2.0.2.0
I have an XML file which needs to be loaded into the Database Tables. How ever i do not want to use the XMLTYPE as given below
insert into test1 (
SELECT PrcDate, PmtType, PmtStatus, PmtTypeCount, PmtTypeAmt
FROM XMLTABLE(
'/WFPaymentAck/RejectedDom1ACH'
PASSING XMLTYPE( BFILENAME('ECX_UTL_LOG_DIR_OBJ','wf_test_xml.XML'), NLS_CHARSET_ID('UTF8') )
COLUMNS
PrcDate VARCHAR2(2000) PATH '@PrcDate' ,
PmtType VARCHAR2(2000) PATH '@PmtType' ,
PmtStatus VARCHAR2(100) PATH '@PmtStatus' ,
PmtTypeCount VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'PmtTypeCount' ,
PmtTypeAmt VARCHAR2(100) PATH 'PmtTypeAmt'
Because this way the XML file needs to reside on the DB server.
I am looking into other option of loading the XML file into a CLOB column of a table and reading it from that column.
I did a couple of tests and feel that this way also the XML file has to reside on the Database Server itself. I am not sure if this is correct or if there is any problem with our TEST instance.
++Can anyone let me know if i need to have the XML file on the DB server instead of the Application server to load into a CLOB column of table ??++
++Or++
++Is there any other workaround for me to load XML into Oracle Tables, while having the XML file on Application Server.++
Your immediate help is appreciated. I need to get past this ASAP.
Thanks in Advance.

1) Are you asking me to create a folder on Database directory which points to a folder on the Apps server ?I suggest creating an Oracle directory object (a database object) pointing to a real location (folder) on Application server.
we DONOT want a hand shake between the DB Server and the APPS server.I don't see where the problem is.
I'm not familiar with Apps R12 but there's no doubt the two servers are already communicating, at least App server should be able to access the DB for the whole thing to run.
As I said :
One way or another, the data has to make its way to the database, there's no workaround to that.How do you imagine the data will end up in a database table if it doesn't come to the DB server?
There's no magical method out there, both servers have to communicate at some point.
About client-server approaches (client being here the App server), you can read about accessing the XML DB repository in the XML DB Developer's Guide : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e23094/toc.htm
Other option : SQL*Loader can load a CLOB, or an XMLType column too

How to insert data into a table from an xml document

using the XmlSql Utility, how do I insert data into a table from an xml document, using the sqlplus prompt.
if i use the xmlgen.insertXML(....)
requires a CLOB file, which i dont have, only the xml doc.
Cant i insert directly from the doc to the table?
the xmlgen examples I have seen first convert a table to a CLOB xmlString and then insert it into another table.
Isnt there any other way?

Your question is little perplexing.
If you're using XML SQL Utility from
the commandline, just use putXML.
java OracleXML putXML
null

How do I run a database procedure that inserts data into a table from withi

How do I run a database procedure that inserts data into a table from within a Crystal report?
I'm using CR 2008 with an Oracle 10i database containing a number of database tables, procedures and packages that provide the data for the reports I'm developing for my department. However, I'd like to know when a particular report is run and by whom. To do this I have created a database table called Report_Log and an associated procedure called prc_Insert_Entry that inserts a new line in the table each time it's called. The procedure has 2 imput parameters (Report_Name & Username), the report name is just text and I'd like the username to be the account name of the person logged onto the PC. How can I call this procedure from within a report when it's run and provide it with the 2 parameters? I know the procedure works, I just can't figure out how to call it from with a report.
I'd be grateful for any help.
Colin

Hi Colin,
Just so I'm clear about what you want:
You have a Stored procedure in your report. When the report runs, you want that same procedure to write to a table called Report_Log.
If this is what you want the simple answer is cannot be done. Crystal's fundamental prupose is to read only, not write. That being said, there are ways around this.
One way is to have a trigger in your database that updates the Report_Log table when the Stored Procedure is executed. This would be the most efficient.
The other way would be to have an application run the report and manage the entry.
Good luck,
Brian

HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

I cant see any join conditions in your query posted. Whats the purpose of the query above. It will just bring you a cartesian product (cross join) of tables involved subjected to filters. Are you sure this is the correct query?
The error you're getting may be because you've not yet populated DimProduct or may be because of logic you used in popultaing DimProduct causing it to miss some records which is what query is referring to in above case.

How to insert data into Oracle db from MySQL db through PHP?

Hi,
I want to insert my MySQL data into Oracle database through PHP.
I can access Mysql database using mysql_conect() & Oracle database using oci_connect() through PHP.
Now How can I insert my data which is in MySQL into Oracle table. Both table structure are exactly same.
So I can use
insert into Oracle_Table(Oracle_columns....) values(Select * from MySQL_Table);
But again problem is I can't open both connections at the same time.
So has anyone done this before or anyone having any other idea..
Plz guide me...

You can do it if you setup a ODBC Gateway between MYSQL and Oracle DB. Then you can directly read from MySQL table using DB links and insert into Oracle table in one single SQL Statement.
Otherwise you need to fetch the data from MySQL Into variables in your PHP Program and then insert into Oracle after binding the variables to the insert statement for Oracle. Hope that is clear enough.

Function module to get data into internal table from Excel file sheets

Hi,
I have to upload customers from excel file.
we are donloading customer data excel file sheets.
Customer data in 1 sheet, tax data the other sheet of same excel file, Customer master-Credit data in other sheet of same excel file.
so i have 3-4 sheet in one excel file.
now my requirement is to get the data from excel file into internal table.
is there any function module.
Thanks & Regards

I am sending you the idea with an example how you can upload data from an EXCEL file into an internal table. I am not sure if you can take data from different sheet in the same EXCEL file. I think that this is not possible (try it )
Upload the data into an internal table, like the way that I am describing in the above:
DATA: L_MAX_COL_NB TYPE I.
DATA: l_file_name LIKE RLGRAP-FILENAME.
Just to be sure that is the correct type for the FM.
l_file_name = P_FILE_NAME.
L_MAX_COL_NB = 58. "Maximum nb of colums that the FM can read.
CALL FUNCTION 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'
       EXPORTING
            FILENAME                = l_file_name
            I_BEGIN_COL             = 1
            I_BEGIN_ROW             = 2
            I_END_COL               = L_MAX_COL_NB
            I_END_ROW               = 9999
       TABLES
            INTERN                  = PT_EXCEL
       EXCEPTIONS
            INCONSISTENT_PARAMETERS = 1
            UPLOAD_OLE              = 2
            OTHERS                  = 3.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
ENDIF.
Now you should upload the data into your own itab. The Function Module will return to you all the an itab
from all fields and columns. Define the structure of the uploading file into SE11 - Data Dictionary. Then read the fieldcatalog of this structure. In the code that I am sending to you, I am insearting an empty line into the internal table and then I am assigning this line into a corresponding field-symbol. Then I am able to change the working area - so and the line of the itab. Propably you could you the statement APPEND INITIAL LINE TO (your_table_name) ASSIGNING <your_field_symbol>, but the example was written in an old SAP version.
FIELD-SYMBOLS:
                 <F_REC> LIKE WA_UPLOAD_FILE,      "working are of the uploading file
                 <F_FIELD> TYPE ANY.
DATA: COLUMN_INT TYPE I,
        C_FIELDNAME(30) TYPE C.
PERFORM GET_FIELDCATOLG TABLES FIELDCAT
                           USING 'ZECO_CHARALAMBOUS_FILE'.
LOOP AT PT_EXCEL.
    AT NEW ROW.
      ASSIGN WA_UPLOAD_FILE TO <F_REC>.
    ENDAT.
    COLUMN_INT = PT_EXCEL-COL.
    READ TABLE FIELDCAT INTO WA_FIELDCAT INDEX COLUMN_INT.
    CONCATENATE '<F_REC>-' WA_FIELDCAT-FIELDNAME INTO C_FIELDNAME.
    ASSIGN (C_FIELDNAME) TO <F_FIELD>.
    <F_FIELD> = PT_EXCEL-VALUE.
    AT END OF ROW.
      APPEND WA_UPLOAD_FILE TO GT_UPLOAD_FILE.
      CLEAR WA_UPLOAD_FILE.
    ENDAT.
ENDLOOP.
With Regards
George

ADF Mobile - insert data into oracle db from oracle adf mobile application

Hi,
I have to insert data from mobile into oracle database 11g(not in local sqlite database), can somebody tell me how to do it?
Thanks,
Anshul

Hi, Anshul, one common way is to expose DB data as ADF BC, and then add a service interface on top of ADF BC. This would allow the ADF Mobile app to access server DB through ADF BC. There may be other mechanisms to access server-side DB - I think APEX also expose some REST interface to Oracle DB as well. Another option is to use TopLink - TopLink can also expose some REST services.
Thanks,
Joe Huang

Oracle version: 8i - 9.0.x.x
There was no option that I can recall or could find. All the parsing of XML that I've done in 8i was via the xmldom package.
Oracle version: 9.2.x.x - 10.1.x.x
This is were Oracle introduced extract, extractValue and TABLE(XMLSequence(extract())) for dealing with repeating nodes.
Oracle version: 10.2.x.x
Oracle introduced XMLTable as a replacement for the previous methods since it could handle all three methods for extracting data from XML. At that point, Oracle stopped enhancing extract/extractValue in terms of performance and focused on XMLTable. In 10.2.0.1 and .2, XMLTable was implemented via Java and in .3 it was moved into the kernel so performance from .3 onwards should be better than the older 9.2 / 10.1 methods. If not, feel free to open a ticket with Oracle support. Apparently Oracle also introduced XMLQuery as well but I've never heard of many using that in 10.2

Inserting data into a column from 2 different tables

Hi,
I need to insert data into a table using 2 other tables. The tables that contain data have identical column names.
Is using a UNION statement the only option?
Also, if I need to insert data into columns from only one of the either tables, how do i do it?
Thanks.

For future reference, "doesn't seem to work" is a rather generic description... Posting the particular error message will be quite helpful, though I'm reasonably confident that I know the particular problem here.
First, if only for sanity, you probably want to explicitly list the columns of the destination table in your INSERT statement.
Second, it doesn't make sense to have DISTINCT clauses in queries that are UNION-ed together. A UNION has to do a sort to remove duplicates already.
Third, the two queries you are UNIONing together have to return the same number of columns, with the same names, in the same order.
You probably want something like
INSERT INTO new_table( col1, col2, col3, col4, col5 )
SELECT 'ABC' col1,
         a.colA col2,
         a.colB col3,
         a.colC col4
         a.colD col5
    FROM table1 a
UNION
SELECT 'ABC' col1,
         b.colA col2,
         b.colB col3,
         b.colC col4
         NULL   col5
    FROM table2 bJustin
