Load XML file to XMLTable from FTP site Problem Oracle9i Release 9.2.0.7.

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to load XML file from FTP address directly to XMLType Table?
Can someone help me?
For example I have ftp site "ftp://test" and on this site I have file "file.xml"
and I would like to load "file.xml" to table "xml_tab" ?
I tried to use "load_xml" procedure and set DIRECTORY "xml_dir" to 'ftp://test' but I get this error
exec load_xml(p_dir=>'XML_DIR', p_filename=>'file.xml');
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed
The network path was not found.
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 504
ORA-06512: at "P.LOAD_XML", line 8
ORA-06512: at line 1
Procedure looks like this:
(p_dir IN VARCHAR2,
p_filename IN VARCHAR2) AS
l_bfile BFILE := BFILENAME(p_dir, p_filename);
l_clob CLOB;
BEGIN
DBMS_LOB.createtemporary (l_clob, TRUE);
DBMS_LOB.fileopen(l_bfile, DBMS_LOB.file_readonly);
DBMS_LOB.loadfromfile(l_clob, l_bfile, DBMS_LOB.getlength(l_bfile));
DBMS_LOB.fileclose(l_bfile);
INSERT INTO xml_tab (
id,
filename,
xml
VALUES (
xml_tab_seq.NEXTVAL,
p_filename,
XMLTYPE.createXML(l_clob)
COMMIT;
DBMS_LOB.freetemporary (l_clob);
END;
I have tried also with this
select xdburitype('ftp://test/file.xml').getCLob() from dual;
but i get error
ERROR:
ORA-31001: Invalid resource handle or path name "ftp://test/file.xml"
Can you pleeeeeeas show me a way to do this, thanks ???

This will not work.. Ypu cannot use FTP to 'PULL' a document into the database. (Yes I know there's a placeholder for an FTPURITYPE() but it was never implemented).
However you can use an FTP client to PUSH content into the XML DB repository. If the content is schema based XML associated with a known (registered) XML schema the content of the file will automatically be stored in the default table associated with the root element of the file. If the content is not associated with an known XML schema you can then use xdburitype to read the resource that was created when the document was uploaded into the repository

Load xml file using gerResource() from a class in jar

Hi,
I have a jar file. I set the classpath for the jar.
I have an xml file in the directory of jar.
ex: /example/test.jar (jar file)
/example/test/test.xml
I would like to load the xml file by using a class in the jar file like:
URL url = Test.class.getResource("/example/test/test.xml");
Test.class is in the jar.
But it is not loading and giving URL as null.
I couldnot figure out how to load any file outside of the jar file from a class file in the jar.
Any solution can be appreciated.
Thanx in advance.
Sridhar

Try
URL url = ClassLoader.getSystemResource ("/example/test/test.xml");

Load XML file from addon domain without cross-domain Policy file

Hello.
Assuming that there are two addon domains on the same server: /public_html/domain1.com      and      /public_html/domain2.com
I try to load XML file from domain2.com into domain1.com without using cross-domain policy file (since it doesn’t work on xml files in my case).
So the idea is to use php file in order to load XML and read it back to flash.
I’ve found an interesting scripts that seems to do the job but unfortunately I can't get it to work. In my opinion there is somewhere problem with AS3 part. Please take a look.
Here are the AS3/PHP scripts:
AS3 (.swf in www.domain1.com):
// location of the xml that you would like to load, full http address
var xmlLoc:String = "http://www.domain2.com/MyFile.xml";
// location of the php xml grabber file, in relation to the .swf
var phpLoc:String = "loadXML.php";
var xml:XML;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(phpLoc+"?location="+escape(xmlLoc) );
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onXMLLoaded);
loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOErrorHandler);
loader.load(request);
function onIOErrorHandler(e:IOErrorEvent):void {
    trace("There was an error with the xml file "+e);
function onXMLLoaded(e:Event):void {
    trace("the rss feed has been loaded");
    xml = new XML(loader.data);
    // set to string, since it is passed back from php as an object
    xml = XML(xml.toString());
    xml_txt.text = xml;
PHP (loadXML.php in www.domain1.com):
<?php
header("Content-type: text/xml");
$location = "";
if(isset($_GET["location"])) {
    $location = $_GET["location"];
    $location = urldecode($location);
$xml_string = getData($location);
// pass the url encoded vars back to Flash
echo $xml_string;
//cURLs a URL and returns it
function getData($query) {
    // create curl resource
    $ch = curl_init();
    // cURL url
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $query);
    //Set some necessary params for using CURL
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
   //Execute the curl function, and decode the returned JSON data
    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    return $result;
    // close curl resource to free up system resources
    curl_close($ch);
?>

I think you might be right about permissions/settings on the server for php. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to adjust them.
So I wrote my own script - this time I used file path instead of http address of the XML file. It works fine in my case.
Here it is:
XML file on domain2.com:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<gallery>
    <image imagePath="galleries/gallery_1/images/1.jpg" thumbPath="galleries/gallery_1/thumbs/1.jpg" file_name= "1"> </image>
    <image imagePath="galleries/gallery_1/images/2.jpg" thumbPath="galleries/gallery_1/thumbs/2.jpg" file_name= "2"> </image>
    <image imagePath="galleries/gallery_1/images/3.jpg" thumbPath="galleries/gallery_1/thumbs/3.jpg" file_name= "3"> </image>
</gallery>
swf on domain1.com:
var imagesXML:XML;
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
var varURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("MyPHPfile.php");
varURL.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
varURL.data = variables;
var MyLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader;
MyLoader.dataFormat =URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
MyLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, XMLDone);
MyLoader.load(varURL);
function XMLDone(event:Event):void {
    var imported_XML:Object = event.target.data.imported_XML;
    imagesXML = new XML(imported_XML);
   MyTextfield_1.text = imagesXML;
   MyTextfield_2.text = imagesXML.image[0].attribute("thumbPath"); // sample reference to attribute "thumbPath" of the first element
php file on domain1.com:
<?php
$xml_file = simplexml_load_file('../../domain2.com/galleries/gallery_1/MyXMLfile.xml'); // directory to XML file on the same server
$imported_XML = $xml_file->asXML();
print "imported_XML=" . $imported_XML;
?>
Regards
PS: for those who read the above discussion: the first and the second script work but you must test which one is better in your situation. The first script will also work between two domains on different servers. No cross domain policy file needed.

Can I load xml file from SWC without using @embed

I'm developing a mobile application in which I need to load xml files from File.applicationDirectory. This works great if the xml files are part of the main application swf. But I would like to move these xml files into a SWC so they could be shared across multiple applications.
Using FlashBuilder 4.5, when a SWC is built, I can specify files to embed in the library that are not assets (Assets Tab of Flex Library Build Path). For various design reasons, I do NOT want to embed the xml files via @embed.
When the swc is built and I open it up using a zip utility, I see the xml files in there just fine. So they are being bundled with the SWC. But how can I load these files in my main application that does not involve using @embed? When the main application is built, the swc setting for link type is "merged into code".
I wouldn't expect the application to automatically pull out the xml files from the swc and place them in the File.applicationDirectory on the mobile device. I've tried loading from there just in case but file.exists is false (as expected).
I've searched the web (and continue to do so) and all the answers seem to be to use @embed. Is there another way?
Randy

It's actually a lot easier than you think.
Just reference the file like any'ol URL using a path relative to the SWC's src directory.
So if you include the file "assets/xml/some.xml", just use that same string like you would any remote resource.
For example:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader( new URLRequest("assets/xml/some.xml"));
I believe it would also work like this "/assets/xml/some.xml", but I prefer relative paths so the link doesnt break if moved out of the SWC...

Loading XML files from URL

Hi.
My PL/SQL procedure loading xml files from oracle logical directory ("c:\temp") and inserting values into columns of the table. I use XSU with procedure:
create or replace procedure insProc(xmlDoc IN CLOB, tableName IN VARCHAR2) is
insCtx DBMS_XMLSave.ctxType;
rows number;
begin
insCtx := DBMS_XMLSave.newContext(tableName); -- get the context handle
rows := DBMS_XMLSave.insertXML(insCtx,xmlDoc); -- this inserts the document
DBMS_XMLSave.closeContext(insCtx); -- this closes the handle
end;
For translate xml document to CLOB, I use :
CREATE OR REPLACE function getdocument(
p_directory in varchar2,
p_filename in varchar2)
return clob
is
l_bfile bfile;
l_clob clob;
begin
l_bfile := bfilename(p_directory, p_filename);
dbms_lob.open(l_bfile);
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_clob, true, dbms_lob.session);
dbms_lob.loadfromfile(l_clob, l_bfile, dbms_lob.getlength(l_bfile));
dbms_lob.close(l_bfile);
return l_clob;
end getdocument;
I didn't have problem with this procedures. But now i want load my xml files from another computer (i want use URL, not oracle logical directory).
How can i do it, using standart PL/SQL methods?

Since you are parsing the XML what prevents you from delaying your requests for the image URL's? You can just as well add the image URL's to some kind of collection and load them after you have processed all the text content.

Error while loading xml files using JDBC

Hi,
I am trying to load xml files into an xmltype table using JDBC calls and am getting this error for some files
LPX-00200: could not convert from encoding UTF-8 to UCS2
The xml files and our database are both UTF-8 encoded. The version of oracle that we have here is 9.2.0.6
Any suggestions in this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Uma

I also experienced this problem and unfortunately this solution didn't work for me given that the tag you suggested was already on the XML file.

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:

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 using owb

Hi Gurus,

You can leverage the XML SQL functions to extract from XML using the database, see the blog post below;

For example to extract information from your XML document the following SQL can be generated from OWB;
select extractValue(value(s), '/book/author'),
extractValue(value(s), '/book/year'),
extractValue(value(s), '/book/price') from
( select XMLType('<bookstore>

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.

How to load XML file to DB

Hi All,
My requirement is I have a XML file, its data should be stored in Database.
Below is the sample XML file.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
<PaymentInfoResponse>
<TransactionType>940</TransactionType>
<SequenceNum>04</SequenceNum>
<CompanyCode>902</CompanyCode>
</PaymentInfoResponse>
<StatusCode>OK</StatusCode>
<StatusDetail>OK</StatusDetail>
<ResponseItemCount>2</ResponseItemCount>
</PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
I have a table with columns name say TransType,SeqNum
the value 940,04 from XML file should be saved in TransType,SeqNum Column respectively
I am using file adapter with native format builder,selecting file type as complex type and
In design schema,I'm not able to proceed,i'm getting error in POP up as:
Native Format builder:error
No global elements exist.
How can i proceed or any other way to load XML file to DB.
urgent Help/suggestion is required.
Thanks in advance

HI all,
1)If my input is .txt file.
we can use file adapter,using native builder,sample it,
delimited/fixed length, we can do normal file read and file write/DB write.It works fine.
2)If my input file is xml file,we can't use native builder format(Because it doesn't support
delimited/fixed length/complex character in native format builder).
so,as said in the above reply,i took a sample XML file & converted to XSD using

It compiles fine.
Now,if i use file adapter(read) -- BPEL -- File adapter(write).
Inside Transform,i am mapping filereadVariable and filewrite Variable correctly.
If my input file is Abc.xml and its contents in read file are:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
<PaymentInfoResponse>
<TransactionType>940</TransactionType>
<SequenceNum>04</SequenceNum>
<CompanyCode>902</CompanyCode>
</PaymentInfoResponse>
<StatusCode>OK</StatusCode>
<StatusDetail>OK</StatusDetail>
</PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
In write folder,my contents are
<PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
<imp1:PaymentInfoResponse>
<imp1:TransactionType/>
<imp1:SequenceNum/>
<imp1:ReceiptTime/>
<imp1:CompanyCode/>
</imp1:PaymentInfoResponse>
<imp1:StatusCode/>
<imp1:StatusDetail/>
</PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
Now,if i use file adapter(read) -- BPEL -- DB adapter(merge).
Inside Transform,i am mapping filereadVariable and DBmerge Variable correctly.
If my input file is Abc.xml and its contents in read file are:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
<PaymentInfoResponse>
<TransactionType>940</TransactionType>
<SequenceNum>04</SequenceNum>
<CompanyCode>902</CompanyCode>
</PaymentInfoResponse>
<StatusCode>OK</StatusCode>
<StatusDetail>OK</StatusDetail>
</PaymentInfoMessageResponse>
My output in em console is like this.
<CeStatementHeadersIntCollection>
<top:CeStatementHeadersInt>
<top:statementNumber/>
<top:bankName/>
</top:CeStatementHeadersInt>
</CeStatementHeadersIntCollection>
NO data is being inserted into DB.
I can write my XMl file into write folder as it is using opaque object(No native format translation)
I can write XML file into DB using BLOB data type.
But my requirement is:
I have a table with columns name say TransType,SeqNum
the value 940,04 from above XML file should be saved in TransType,SeqNum Columns respectively.
Can i do it using DOM parser/SAX parser?
So any suggestion/help required
Thanks in advance

Load xml file into clob,

I use the very normal way bfile to load xml file from logical directory, but when I print :that clob variable through sqlplus, a lot of reverse question marks comes out instead of xml.
What is the problem? Please advice the solution.
I guess a lot of people may encounter the same problem.
Thanks for advice.

Hi Richard,
This happens when there is a mismatch between the character-set of the XML document and the SQLPLUS character-set.
