Installation of XML parser for PL/SQL, and XML_SQL

I have just migrated a 7.3.4.4 database to 8.1.7. Please could you tell me what I need to install (and where I would find the software and installation instructions) so that we can use the XML parser for PL/SQL and also XML_SQL. (NB Do I need to install java - and if so, again where would I find the installation software and instructions). Many Thanks.
Jenny

The XML Parser for Java comes preinstalled, as does the XML SQL utility.
Assuming your 8.1.7 Oracle home is represented by ?, you need to:
[list=1]
[*]cd ?/xdk/lib
[*]loadjava -v -r -u user/password xmlplsql.jar
[*]cd ?/xdk/plsql/parser/bin
[*]sqlplus user/password @load
[list]

Installation of XML Parser for PL/SQL

After following the installation instruction on XML Parser PL/SQL on UNIX, I got the below error message when running the sample:
SQL> exec domsample('/home/jyuan/oracle/plxml/sample','family.xml','err_dom.txt')
BEGIN domsample('/home/jyuan/oracle/plxml/sample','family.xml','err_dom.txt'); END;
ERROR at line 1:

ORA-06512: at "JYUAN.XMLPARSER", line 69
ORA-06512: at "JYUAN.DOMSAMPLE", line 80
ORA-06512: at line 1
I also checked the dba_role_privs to see if I have the privilege. The below result shows I am ok.

I do see package XMLPARSER and procedure DOMSAMPLE in my schema. But, I don't know how to fix the problem. Your help is highly appreciated.

XML Parser for PL/SQL and related issues

I need to have further information about some of the following
issues and XML features and make a determination useful for
evaluation and recommendation:
ISSUES
1) Is there a maximum size for an XML document to provide data
for PL/SQL(or SQL) across tables, provided that no CLOB are used?
2) How about from Oracle to an XML document ?
3) Is there a ratio between XML document size and main memory and
SGA size. What are Oracle's recommendations /
4) Can the Oracle Application Server run on a DHCP NT server when
using XML parsing ? Is it NT Service Pack 3 and 4 compatible ?
5) How parsers can interact with one another or related tools ?
For example, how the XML parser for c/c++ could be useful when
using Pro*C/C++ (programmer 2000) or OCI interfaces ? In other
words, what is the business logic in using these tools ?

The limit should be what can be inserted into an object view.

The limit should be what can be retrieved from an object view.

Not directly due to the relationship between XML metadata and
data not being constrained.

If it can run a JavaVM with the correct permissions there are no
other special requirements.

No special requirements here.

Not really sure of your question. The XML components are useful
in any application where I am processing documents or data with
an XML structure. The choice to use XML can be based on quite a
range of requirements due to its declarative syntax and open
standards. If you give me a specific application, I can perhaps
be more helpful.

XML Parser for PL/SQL - charset

Hi,
I'm using XML Parser for PL/SQL and have some trouble with encoding of results xmldom.writeToBuffer and xmldom.writeToCLOB procedures.
Some tags in my DOM documents contain text values in RUSSIAN (server nls_charset is CL8ISO8859P5). When I write document in varchar2 variable, buffer content is in UTF8 encoding ( convert UTF8->CL8ISO8859P5 -OK).
xmldom.setCharset(doc, 'ISO-8859-5') just after xmldom.newDOMDocument has no effect.
xmldom.setCharset(doc, 'CL8ISO8859P5') has no effect also.
Explicit charset direction in third parameter of
xmldom.writeToBuffer and xmldom.writeToCLOB procedure has no effect.
When I write document in CLOB, and then read part of CLOB in varchar2 buffer - result contain '?' in place of all russian text characters.
What's a problem?
How can I force XML Parser write XML in server charset?
Platform:
Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.6.1.0
JServer Release 8.1.6.1.0
Oracle XML Parser for PL/SQL v 1.0.2

I have the same problem. But in my case I am allowed only to use XML Parser for PL/SQL.
Characterset 'WE8ISO8859P1' is used. And the language is latvian.
After parsing a XML document and printing its contents, all latvian characters are replaced by "f".
xmldom.setcharset(doc,'WE8ISO8859P1') has no effect.

Oracle8.1.5 and XML parser for PL/SQL

Hi,
Does XML parser for PL/SQL work with Oracle 8.1.5? Did any one install the
same and if so what are steps to follow? I ran initjvm.sql to install

error. It's working fine with Oracle8.1.6.
Any idea?

Oracle XML Parser has differents distributions for 8.1.5 and 8.1.6 databases, try the correct version, then runs the oraclexmlsqlload.csh from the lib directory of XSU distribution.

XDK for PL/SQL and XML Parser for PL/SQL

Is there a difference between the terms:
XDK for PL/SQL
and
XML Parser for PL/SQL V2
or are they the same thing...?
cheers,

XDK stands for XML Developer's Kit. There are Oracle XDKs for Java, C, C++, and PL/SQL. These development kits contain building blocks for reading, manipulating, transforming, and viewing XML documents.
XML Parser is one component of XDK. Other components of XDK are
XSLT Processor, XSU, XSQL Servlet, XML Class Generator, etc.
For more information on XDK and its components please refer to:

Using XML Parser for PL/SQL in 8.1.7

The XML Parser for PL/SQL is part of 8.1.7,
which is a good thing.
Now my question: What steps do I need to
perfom after installation of 8.1.7 to make
the parser available for my PL/SQL packages,
which call
xmldom.makeNode()
xmldom.appendChild()
xmlparser.newParser()
and other procedures from these packages ?
The schema SYS does not contain the
required packages XMLDOM, XMLPARSER, ...
after installation of 8.1.7.
Do I have to call loadjava and
sqlplus @load.sql extra as in 8.1.5 and
8.1.6 before ?
Of course I'd like to use the natively
compiled XML parser
libjox8_oraclexml_parser_v2.so.
Doesn't the above loadjava override the
installation of this fast parser ?
How can I be safe, that I am using the fast
parser under the PL/SQL cover ?
Tnx for your help
Richard
null

Richard,
That's weird? The packages were installed when I installed 8.1.7. You can just download the latest version of the XDK and reinstall using loadjava and then running the load.sql file to get the packages in. You should use the -f parameter for loadjava to force the new classes to be loaded over the old ones. For code examples and lots of other good tips on using the XDK, check out my new website for everything Oracle and XML at: www.webspedite.com/oracle.

xmlparserv2_2027.jar gives the same errors.
Any help would be appreciated.

Was it definitely xmlparsev2.jar that you had to load?
I recently started going through some of these examples as well and found that the standard xml parser was there but that I needed to load the xml parser for PL/SQL. I did this using loadjava from a subdirectory within the xdk directory and everything worked fine.

XML parsing problems with Oracle XML parser for PL/SQL

I am using the Oracle XML parser for PL/SQL to transform XML into HTML usign XSL. The parser gives me sporadic errors trying to parse various XML documents. For the same XML source, the XMLPARSER will parse without errors one day and the next day will give me errors such as "invalid char in text", "Expected ';'.", or even Java null pointer exceptions.
I have verified that the XML sources are well formed, so I am pretty certain that the problems I am having are bugs in the XMLPARSER.
Is there going to be a XML parser for PL/SQL version 2 that will fix these bugs? If so, when??? If not, is there anything else I could do to fix these problems?
Thanks!

You can use the latest version.

XDK10g supports XML parsing for PL/SQL?

Hi,
I have a couple of questions here:
1) Does XDK10g support XML parsing for PL/SQL? (More specifically, I need to use xmlDom and xmlParser)
2) Does Oracle 10g come installed with XDK 10g? If not, does it even need to install XDK 10g to use xmlDom and xmlParser?
Thank you all and have a nice day.

Edited by: user9518458 on Oct 30, 2008 1:31 AM

Well, if you are talking 10.2, then
"The (Java-based) Oracle XDK PL/SQL packages XMLDOM, XMLPARSER, and XSL_PROCESSOR have been deprecated in favor of the (C-based) Oracle XML DB packages DBMS_XMLDOM, DBMS_XMLPARSER, and DBMX_XSLPROCESSOR. Synonyms have been provided to smooth the migration of legacy applications" (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14259/whatsnew.htm#CHDCAICE)
Whether that is a default install option or one that requires selecting I can't say, but it is available without needing to additionally use the XDK. So odds are you can do whatever you need in PL/SQL using those DBMS_ packages (or XMLTYPE based variables if the need arises).

Oracle 8i XML Parser for PL/SQL

Hi,
Using "Building Oracle XML Applications" by O'reilly, I am
trying to get XML working on an Oracle 8i database. I have done the following steps:
1) verify oracle.xml.parser.v2.DOMParser class is running;
select substr(dbms_java.longname(object_name),1,30) as class, status
from all_objects
where object_type = 'JAVA CLASS'
and object_name = dbms_java.shortname('oracle/xml/parser/v2/DOMParser');
CLASS STATUS
oracle/xml/parser/v2/DOMParser VALID
OK
2) Check for Oracle XML Parser for PL/SQL is installed:
DESCRIBE xmlparser
ERROR:
ORA-04043: object xmlparser does not exist
So apparently i need to download the Oracle XML Parser for PL/SQL.
I cannot locate this download on the oracle site for version 8i (8.1.7.4 specifically).
Any helpers out there?

You can use the latest version.
