Issue with Date Conversion when loading XML File into Oracle 10g Database

Hello all,
I have the interface shown in the screenshot below. In it, amongst other actions, I'm mapping an XML file element representing a date to an Oracle table column defined as DATE. The source and target columns are highlighted in the screenshot.
!http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/1565/odiscr275.jpg!
When I execute the interface, I get the following error message:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at java.sql.Date.valueOf(Date.java:103)
I'm assuming this refers to the date conversion!
I've already tried replacing SRC_TRADES.DEAL_DATE with TO_DATE( SRC_TRADES.DEAL_DATE, 'DD/MM/YYYY' ) in the Implementation tab. This function was not recognised when I executed the interface, so it didn't work! The date value in the XML file is in DD/MM/YYYY format.
I'm guessing that Oracle SQL Date functions don't work in the Implementation tab. Please could somebody let me know:
1. Which Date Conversion function I could use instead?
2. Where I can find a reference for the methods/functions I can use in the Implementation tab (if such a reference exists)?
Cheers.
James

Hi.
Try to change the execution area to staging area. After You change it, write in the mapping box just SRC_TRADERS.DEAL_DATE. When You use TO_DATE, the source field typu should be varchar2, not date (as it is in your source datastore)

Loading XML File into Oracle 10G XE

I am trying to load an XML file into 10G XE from the Utilities interface, I have created a Table to load into but when I try to load I get the following cryptic error "XML Load Error". There is no other information, can someone give me some insight where to start to resolve this problem?

The error messages when importing fails provided by APEX 2.1 are not very useful as they do not provide any clue...
If possible, you can try to load XML file with SQL*Loader - probably you will get then more useful error messages.

try this
LOAD DATA
INFILE '/home/oraread/'
INTO TABLE xmlloadtable
(id,
file_name filler,
data_xml lobfile(file_name) terminated by eof
)you can add the file_name field as a column to your table between the id and xml column and remove the filler word in the .ldr file if you need to keep the name of the file

Load XML file to Oracle 10G XE

The load xml wizard in Oracle XE asks for a table in the HR schema to load into.
Well I create one using the 'Create Table' procedure with a script that runs and creates the table. Now I have a XML file that matches the table I created and try to load the file contents into the table. I get an error. Am I surprised? no, I am not. Nothing works the first time.
Is there a preferred format for the xml file that supports loading into a table?
There appears to be no help file, but then I may be mistaken.
Could someone show me where to find this help file?

The bug you are referencing occurs when an Enumerated Value also has min and max lengths specified..
Eg something like
<xsd:simpleType name="EnumType">
     <xsd:annotation>
         <xsd:documentation>ENUM_TYPE</xsd:documentation>
     </xsd:annotation>
     <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
         <xsd:enumeration value="AA"/>
         <xsd:enumeration value="AB"/>
         <xsd:enumeration value="AE"/>
         <xsd:enumeration value="AK"/>
         <xsd:enumeration value="AL"/>
     </xsd:restriction>
   </xsd:simpleType>
   <xsd:complexType name="TYPE1">
     <xsd:sequence>
         <xsd:element name="TYPE11">
           <xsd:simpleType>
               <xsd:restriction base="EnumType">
                 <xsd:minLength value="1"/>
                 <xsd:maxLength value="10"/>
               </xsd:restriction>
           </xsd:simpleType>
         </xsd:element>
      </xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema> Do you have something like this in your XML Schema. If this is the case try removing the minLength, maxLength as they are redundant, which is probably why we didn't catch this one in internal testing, it sort of falls into the "if it hurts please don't do it" category :). Also the fix for this bug appears to have been backported on top of 9.2.0.6.0 so upgrading to 9.2.0.7.0 or 9.2.0.8.0 or the later releases of 10.1 or 10.2 should fix the problem.

Error while loading XML files into scott user

Hi All,
I'm new to xml files. I need to load xml files into database through OWB.
I have xml file in my local machine & am trying to load into table PO of Scott. Scott is registered as repository user.
Followed same steps as specified in userguide.
But, when executing the procedure ( in two ways one as just table name, and other as user.table name) it is showing the below error:
Procedure is:(1)--with username.tablename
begin

Note: Everything works fine if I create PO table in OWBSYS user and execute the procedurein OWBSYS user. OWBSYS.PO table will be loaded.
What privileges are missing, what shouldI do if I want to execute the procedure from scott user and load the table of scott.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi Joshna,
Please follow below steps to load xml file to oracle database.
1.First connect to owb (Design Center) through your repository owner user (ex : REP_OWNER).
2. Import WB_XML_LOAD procedure . and exit to repository owner.
3. connect to owb design center through your repository user (ex : REP_USER)
Create New mapping and drag one Constant Operator and create one attribute, paste / edit following code
'<OWBXMLRuntime>'||
'<XMLSource>'||
'<file>E:\SOURCE\emp.xml</file>'||
'</XMLSource>'||
'<targets>'||
'<target truncateFirst = "FALSE" dateFormat="yyyy.MM.dd">rep_user.emp</target>'||
'</targets>'||
'</OWBXMLRuntime>'
4. Drag pre mapping operator and select WB_XML_LOAD procedure
5. Connect Constant Operator attribute to pre mapping operator.
6. Drag two dummy tables and connect source to target. (ex : drag t1 (table) tab two times and connect.
7. Validate and deploy the mapping.
8. grant necessary grant command to rep_owner user to rep_user user.
(Note : target truncateFirst = "FALSE" by default truncate the table. So you have to give grant privileges
To rep_user , select ,insert, delete privileges.
9. Execute the mapping , and check EMP table. (Note : before loading EMP table delete all records ).

Loading XML file into non-XML table(s)

HI Gentlemen,
I successfully registered my schema and generated an xml-based table and a TYPE. However, I do not have the table that would correspond to this TYPE. How do I get to it? How can I use FTP or HTTP protocol to load actual data from the corresponding .xml file into this table?
Thanks in advance, kind regards from
Miklos HERBOLY

You need to include the XML schema location information in the XML documents to point to the registered XML schema.
For example,
If you register an XML schema to XML DB with "http://www.example.com/po.xsd"
In the XML document, the xml schema location can be:
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.example.com/po.xsd http://www.example.com/po.xsd">
For more information, you can check the example in the following page:

Loading XML files in Oracle via SQL*Loader

Hello,
I need to load the data in an XML file provided by a thrird party into my Oracle DB. This file is not formatted as per the requirements of XSU, so I need to find an alternative. In the online documentation for Oracle8i it is stated that one way to load XML files into Oacle is via SQL*Loader. On the SQL*Loader documentation this is not mentioned. Also as far as I know, SQL*Loader can be used with delimited fields or fixed length fields and thus I do not see how this can be done (but it would be very cool).
Can you give me any advice on this?
Thanks
Ciao
Ferruccio

No, SQL*Loader cannot process DBF files directly
Tom Kyte provides a package to read in DBF files thorugh utl_file

Loading XML files into an 8.0.6 database...

Hi,
I've got an Oracle 8.0.6 instance (Sun E250 Solaris 5.7) with multiple import data feeds. I am currently using SQL*Loader to load this data which are flat text delimited files. My data feeds will soon be supplying XML files instead of these flat files which is great, unfortunately, I will not be able to upgrade in 8.1.7 in time so that I can use the XML parser.
Is there anyway I can use SQL*Loader or some other tool to load XML files into my 8.0.6 database? If there is a way, could someone please send the information I would need to help perform this task?
Thanks for all your help...

Check out the Oracle XDB Developer's Guide, Chapter 3. There is an example of using BFileName function to load the xml files from a directory object created using create or replace directory. It works really well.

Load flat file into oracle with SQL Loader

Hi All,
Oracle 9i
I want to load flat file into oracle with the help of sqlloader but I want to skip some columns from flat file.
Can anyone tell me how can we skip column from flat file , I can’t open flat file into excel as CSV due to large volume
Does anyone has any solution for the same.
Umesh Goel

Filler can be use when we want to skip database table column or we want to put null in database table column
but if we have 10 column in flat file and we want to load 1,2,5,7 number column from flat file
then I think filler will not work
If yes then plz let me know.
thx
