Invalid XML document can be inserted

Question

Hi,
I'm using Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.1.0.4.0. I have a schema based (XSD) database where I'm trying to insert invalid document and it works :(
Here is an extract of the schema :
     <xsd:element name="quantity">
          <xsd:simpleType>
               <xsd:restriction base="xsd:positiveInteger">
                    <xsd:maxExclusive value="100"/>
               </xsd:restriction>
          </xsd:simpleType>
     </xsd:element>
If I put a XML document with invalid data like "<quantity>230</quantity>" I have not error message from Oracle. The XML is inserted !
Is this error corresponding to "Bug 4329431 DBMS_XMLPARSER ignores errors while parsing invalid XML document" or is it another bug ?
Thanks

Try doing a search on schemaValidate() in this forum. The gist of it is that you need to invoke the schemaValidate() method. By default we do a lax validation that checks things like mandatory elements are present etc.To perform a full schema validation use a trigger or procedure to invoke this method on the XMLType
Eg
create or replace trigger validate_xml before insert on my_xml_table
for each row
begin
   :new.object_value.schemaValidate();
end;
