Inserting XML in SQLServer

Hi
I need to insert XML documents into SQLServer, preferably using bulk load XML. That uses ADO, and it is a piece of cake to insert XML from a VBScript or ASP or something else supported by microsoft. But my documents will come from a java application, do I need to convert the java object (string probably) to an ADO or what do I do? I've the feeling I'm not looking at this the right way, so any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Helena
ps. I have the microsoft SQL 2000 JDBC driver ds
pps Any useful code example would just cause me to explode with happiness =) d.s

ok two things, do you need to insert the whole document, like using full-text indexing? That is prob not a good way to go about it. If so you are getting an object from the Java app or is Java app producing a file?
Once you answer those it will help.
What I would do, is set up my database so it has an attribute for each of my xml elements, and then i would parse my xml document and insert each of the elements into the corresponding attribute in the database, that would be the easiest thing to do. Then if you want to recreate the xml file just read it out and create the file.
This may be way off, but it is what i would do, rather than store the whole doc...
good luck, hope i helped

Error inserting XML records 4000 bytes through Pro*C

Hi,
I am seeing the following error while trying to insert XML records > 4000 bytes (Records < 4000 bytes get inserted without any issues). Any help in resolving the issue would be highly appreciated.

After selecting data from xmltab table I just received first line of xmldata file. i.e
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="WINDOWS-12 52"?> <BAROutboundXM L xmlns="http://BARO
That must be a display issue.
What client tool are you using, and what version?
If SQL*Plus, you won't see the whole content unless you set some options :
{code}
SET LONG <value>
SET LONGCHUNKSIZE <value>
{code}
Could you try the following?
{code}
SET LONG 10000
SELECT t.object_value.getclobval() FROM xmltab t;
-- to force pretty-printing :
SELECT extract(t.object_value, '/*').getclobval() FROM xmltab t;
{code}

LPX-00004 - Problems while inserting xml files in a xmltype column

I've faced two problems while trying to insert xml files into my table containing a xmltype column:
create table xml_test (id number(20),content xmltype)
I use following java code for writing xml docs into db:
     conn.setAutoCommit(false);
     OraclePreparedStatement stmt = (OraclePreparedStatement)
          conn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO xml_test (id,content) VALUES(?,?)");
     File file = new File(file1);
     InputStream in1 = new FileInputStream(file1);
     Reader r1 = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in1, "UTF-8"));
     int len = 0;
     StringBuffer text = new StringBuffer();
     while ((len = r1.read()) != -1) {
          text.append((char) len);
     in1.close();
     r1.close();
     XMLType poXML1 = XMLType.createXML(conn, text.toString());
     for (int i = 1; i <= 1; i++) {

It's hard for me to tell you more without seeing your instance data, but for problem #1, if you look at the underlying SQL types being generated by your schema, you will see that the default SQL mapping for a "string" in your schema is a VARCHAR2(4000) (and I believe this would be only 2000 for a varying width character set like UTF8).
You can specify that you wish this column to be mapped as a CLOB in your schema if this is the problem. Also note that there is a 64K limit on the size of an individual node in XMLType.

Problem inserting XML doc (character set)

Hi all,
I'm having trouble trying to insert XML either "posting" it (xsql) or "putting" it
(OracleXML putXML).
The error that I get: "not supported
oracle-character-set-174".
The environment is:
Oracle 8i 8.1.5
(NLS_CHARACTERSET EL8MSWIN1253 for greek)
JDK 1.2.2
Apache Web Server 1.3.11
Apache JServ 1.1
XSQL v 0.9.9.1 and
XMLSQL, XML parser v2 that comes with it.
I had dropped all java classes and reloaded
them using oraclexmlsqlload batch file.
But still getting the same error.
The thing that is that I am
able to insert XML doc that was generated
with an authoring tool called W4F that extracts data from HTML pages and map them to
XML document, even with greek characters
in it. But when XML is generated using
an editor or the servlet like the following:
newschedule.xsql like
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="latestschedules.xsl"?>
<page connection="dtv" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">

Hi,
How about applying an XSL on the existing XML doc to create another XML doc to filter out the table column not found in the target db table, so that all the columns are matched and then use putXML to load?
Hope that helps.

Inserting XML content into Database

Hallo
i´m new to Oracle.
i want to insert xml content into the database. for testing i installed the version 10g on a windowsxp computer.
i read the oracle xmldb developer´s guide. on page 3-4 ff. it is explained how i can insert content into the database. that´s how i did it (with isqlplus):
create table example1(key_column varchar2(10) primary key, xml_column xmltype)
-->works fine
create table example2 of xmltype
-->works fine
now i made a directory under c:\myXmlFilesForDb in WinXp
create directory xmldir as 'c:/myXmlFilesForDb in WinXp'
(also tried: create directory xmldir as 'c:\myXmlFilesForDb in WinXp')
--> in this directory is a file named: mydokument.xml
--> works fine
insert into example2 values(xmltype(bfilename('xmldir','mydokument.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8')))
the following error message is displayed (in German):
ORA-22285: Verzeichnis oder Datei für FILEOPEN-Vorgang nicht vorhanden
ORA-06512: in "SYS.DBMS_LOB",Zeile 523
ORA-06512: in "SYS:XMLTYPE",Zeile 287
ORA-06512: in Zeile 1
whats wrong? can anybody help me please?
ohhh....
thank you very much
cu
George

Directory entries are case sensitive.
Select * From dba_directories to ensure you case is the same as you are using in your insert statement.
Are you using the same user? if not grant read on directory directoryname to username;
try to just select.
select dbms_lob.getLength(BFileName('directoryname','filename.xml'))
as length

BPEL process to Insert XML into DB using pl/sql stored proc

Hi,
We have created a BPEL process in which we are taking input request and store it into Oracle Database using PL/SQL proc.
We have been unsuccessful in doing so because the data stored in table has root element missing.
Has any body done this (insert xml into DB using pl/sql stored proc) successfully ?
We can so this successfully if we do not use stored procedure and store data directly in table.
Regards

I have done this, stored it as a CLOB.
Also I received the payload as an opaque schema, so I had to convert the message from binary into string.
This way the root element doesn't get removed.
cheers

Insert XML data into oracle table

I want to insert xml data returned by the VB code into oracle table.
As a prequisite I have installed the XDK capabilities for Oracle by installing JServer & running
SQL scripts catxsu.sql,xmlparserv2.jar,load.sql to load the XMLSQL Utility (DBMS_XMLQuery) into the database.
I have also granted following privileges to the user.
Grant users access to XMLParser and XMLDom packages:
     grant execute on xmldom to public;
     grant execute on xmlparser to public;
     create public synonym xmldom for sys.xmldom;
     create public synonym xmlparser for sys.xmlparser;
But still i am not able to create procedure which will accept input parameter as an XML document coming from front end which in turn will insert that record into simple oracle table . I am using Oracle 8.1.7
Thanks in advance

Would you specify the database version?
Since DBMS_XMLSave requires DOM, you normally need to divide the huge XML before insertion.

Inserting XML Code

Hi All,
Is it posible to insert XML RSS feed info into a Muse Page?
Regards
Nathan

As far as I tested this, I found that it will show a preview of the XML feed that you have entered in the box.
Suppose I add this XML code on my site:http://gauravr183.businesscatalyst.com/images/2013-08-26_1255.png
It will display the preview.
And in preview it did display the RSS channel feed image: http://gauravr183.businesscatalyst.com/images/2013-08-26_1257.png

from SQL plus if entry is number.
Here's the testxsql.html
<html>
<body>
Input your name and ssnumber ..
<form action="testxsql.xsql" method="post">
Name<input type="text" name="name_field" size="30">
SSNUM<input type = "text" name="ssnum_field" size="10">
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>

it calls testxsql.xsql which is
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="employee.xsl"?>
<page connection="demo">
<insert table="employee" transform="testxsql.xsl"/>
<content>
<query tag-case="lower" max-rows="5" rowset-element=""
row-element="emp" >
select *
from employee
order by ssnum desc
</query>
</content>
</page>
and testxsql.xsl is
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<ROWSET xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:for-each select="request">
<ROW>

<SSNUM><xsl:value-of select="ssnum_field"/></SSNUM>
<SOURCE>User-Submitted</SOURCE>
</ROW>
</xsl:for-each>
</ROWSET>
I get the following error while trying to insert
XSQL-015: Error inserting XML Document
invalid LABEL name in XML doc-
If I remove the insert tag, the query portion works fine.
I'm new to XML so I've already pulled all the hair that I can
muster. Thanks

Unable to insert XML in CLOB (for Long Lived Processes)

I am trying to insert XML/XDP in a CLOB column of an Oracle Database. It seems to work in a short lived process. However, I get all sorts of errors when I convert it to long lived.
Anyway one know why?
I extract the XML/XDP using a process form submission module and convert it to string. Then, I run the insert through a custom script as setString.

This has been an issue in the past. When I try to change the string size to unlimited, it doesn't allow me to save the process. However, when I create a new string variable and assign it to unlimited, it worked.
I am thinking, when the string variable is saved the first time with a limit or a lower limit, it saves it to a Varchar2 and it is unable to change to a different column type when a higher char limit or unlimited it set. Don't you think this is a serious issue in existing processes with lower limits on string variables. Do you know a stable work around?
Also, how can I get value from an XML variable, using a custom script? "patExecContext.getProcessDataValue" doesn't work.
