Intermedia/XML Support...PLEASE ORANET

Question

Is there someone out there who can provide some real world examples of performing this simple task....
I have an XML document, I want to feed it into 8i and search by content using the tags...
Remember my XML document has over 100 tags,
do I have to sit their and do an ADD_FIELD_SECTION for every tag....If not, where is this documented...
Thanks for helping us Dummies....

Answer 1

What follows is the content of the aforementioned demo file.
It sets up the tables, types, and object views for the XSQL Insurance Claim Demo (that you try try live on our OTN demo site at http://technet.oracle.com/tech/xml/demo/demo1.htm )
The intermedia-related part starts at the line that reads: ctx_ddl.drop_preference()
In this example, an insurance claim
has a "DamageReport" which is an
XML Document fragment. The intermedia
stuff at the end shows how to
setup an XML searching index on
the <CAUSE> and <MOTIVE> tags in
this "DamageReport" document fragment.
Hope this helps.
