Load XML file to Oracle 10G XE

Question

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.
