Loading Large XML files using plsql

I have a process where there is a need to load large xml files (i.e. easily over 500k or more) into Oracle via an interface. Preference would be to use plsql or some plsql based utility if possible. I am looking for any suggestions on the best method to accomplish this. Currently running on 9.2.0.6. Thanks in advance.

Reading large XML file using a file event generator and a JPD process

I am using a FileEventGenerator and a JPD Subscription process to read a large XML file. The large XML file basically contains repeated XML elements. My understanding is that the file subscription method reads the whole file in memory which causes lots of problem for huge file size like 1MB. Is there a way to read the file size-wise or is there a way to read chunks of data from a large size file..or any other alternative. I would like to process the file in a loop iteration by iteration.

Hitejain,
Here are a couple of pointers you could try. One is that the file event generator has a pass by reference (filename) functionality which you could use so that you could do the following inside of your process.
1) Read file name from the reference
2) Move the file to a processed directory (so it doesn't get picked up again. Note: I don't know how the embedded archive methods of the file event generator plays with pass by reference.
3) Open a stream to the file.
4) Use a SAX or SAX - DOM combined approach to parse your XML while managing the memory usage inside of your process
There is another possibility which might fit your needs and it is related to the RawData object that BEA provides. If I understand it correctly provides wrapping functionality around a stream object, but depending on your parsing methods might just postpone the problem.
Hope this helps

Help in loading the xml file using AS 2.0

Hi
I try to load the Xml file in As file but i need do all the
fetching details from the __LoadXmlFile file function
but it's working fine can any one help me for this issue
~~Sk

You can't! Well, at least Flex cannot do this. All Flex can
do is send this data -- any data -- to the server and it's up to
you how you want to append this data to a file on the server.
You see, flex can't write to local files. If you looking for
client side file manipulation, take a look at Flex's desktop

ORA-04030: out of process memory Loading Large XML File

Experts: I am trying to load a 2.1G XML file into an Object Relational table . The xml schema document xsd is already registered successfully. It fails with the following error :
ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 4032 bytes
(qmxtgCreateBuf,kghsseg: kolaslCreateCtx)
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 296
ORA-06512: at line 1I am able to load the document successfully in SECUREFILE BINARY XML table but that would not work as I need to create relational view on top of this table which does not work with SECUREFILE BINARY XML storage.
Please suggest what may be the workaround here?
Thanks

Handling large xml files using tree

hi,
I have an issue with a tree having xml data as the
dataprovider. The front end makes a http service call to a servlet
at a server to get the string representation of an xml file . The
string format is changed to xml in the flex front end and made to
display as a tree. Everything works fine when the xml data is small
but as xml data grows in size the handling of data into the tree is
very slow and the application does not respond sometimes..Can
anyone tell me how i could get this issues solved or is there a
better way to solve it. Or is there a way that the tree gets
displayed only when all the nodes or loaded properly and there are
no lags while user tries to navigate through it..
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
Did you get a reply for this? If so,can you pl share it with me too?
i need to send a XML +also need to set 2 parameters over Http Post to a servlet...
Thanks,

Loading big XML files using JDBC gives errors

Hi,
I've created a XMLType table using binary storage, with the restriction that any document stored has a (any) schema:
CREATE TABLE XMLBIN OF XMLTYPE
XMLTYPE STORE AS BINARY XML
ALLOW ANYSCHEMA;Then I use JDBC to store a relatively large document using the following code:
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver").newInstance();
String connectionString = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:1521:sid";
File f = new File("c:\\temp\\big.xml");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionString, "username", "password");
XMLType xml = XMLType.createXML(conn,new FileInputStream(f));
String statementText = "INSERT INTO xmlbin VALUES (?)";
OracleResultSet resultSet = null;
OracleCallableStatement statement = (OracleCallableStatement)conn.prepareCall(statementText);
statement.setObject(1,xml);
statement.execute();
statement.close();
conn.commit();
conn.close();Loading a file of 61Mb (real Mb, in non-IT Mb (where 1Mb seems to be 10^6) it is 63.9Mb) or less doesn't give any errors, loading a file bigger then that gives the following error:

please help me in loading above xml file using owb.

You can leverage the XML SQL functions to extract from XML using the database, see the blog post below;
https://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/entry/leveraging_xdb
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>

Problem loading XML-file using SQL*Loader

Hello,
I'm using 9.2 and tryin to load a XML-file using SQL*Loader.
Loader control-file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE BATCH_TABLE TRUNCATE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
FILENAME char(255),
XML_DATA LOBFILE (FILENAME) TERMINATED BY EOF
BEGINDATA
data.xml
The BATCH_TABLE is created as:
CREATE TABLE BATCH_TABLE (
FILENAME VARCHAR2 (50),
XML_DATA SYS.XMLTYPE ) ;
And the data.xml contains the following lines:
<?xml version="2.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE databatch SYSTEM "databatch.dtd">
<batch>
<record>
<data>
<type>10</type>
</data>
</record>
<record>
<data>
<type>20</type>
</data>
</record>
</batch>
However, the sqlldr gives me an error:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table BATCH_TABLE, column XML_DATA.
ORA-21700: object does not exist or is marked for delete
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 0
ORA-06512: at line 1
If I remove the first two lines
"<?xml version="2.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>"
and
"<!DOCTYPE databatch SYSTEM "databatch.dtd">"
from data.xml everything works, and the contentents of data.xml are loaded into the table.
Any idea what I'm missing here? Likely the problem is with special characters.
Thanks in advance,

I'm able to load your file just by removing the second line <!DOCTYPE databatch SYSTEM "databatch.dtd">. I dont have your dtd file, so skipped that line. Can you check if it's problem with ur DTD?

How to load a XML file into the database

Hi,
I've always only loaded data into the database by using SQL-Loader and the data format was Excel or ASCII
Now I have to load a XML.
How can I do?
The company where I work has Oracle vers. 8i (don't laugh, please)
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Tough job especially if the XML data is complex. The have been some similar question in the forum:
Using SQL Loader to load an XML File -- use 1 field's data for many records

I had a similar error which when I searched, came up with this thread.
My issue was resolved after I discovered that my RTF template was not really RTF. It was sill in MS Word DOC format. This was discovered by reviewing two templates in NOTEPAD. The MS-DOC files have a lot of "special" characters in them. My RTF was not really RTF.
After doing a SAVE AS - RTF format, then the preview worked as expected.

Changing /updating an xml file using JAXP(DOM)

Hello,
i am fairly new to xml and am using it in my degree project.I am able to retrieve and read data from a fairly large xml file using JAXP(DOM) and/or XMLBeans.I am having difficulties in updating the xml document. Any updation i believe is ito be saved into a new xml document,but dont know how to proceed with it. Any help would be appreciated.
Following is a snippet of my code using JAXP. Here i am able to retrieve data from the source file.
File document=new File("C:\\tester.xml");
try {
DocumentBuilderFactory factory
= DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder parserr = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc=parserr.parse(document);
System.out.println(document + " is well-formed.");
NodeList n2=doc.getElementsByTagName("Top");
NodeList n3=doc.getElementsByTagName("Base");
int x=n2.getLength();
System.out.println("There are " x "players");
for(int g=0;g<=x;g++)
System.out.println("Top is" + n2.item(g).getFirstChild().getNodeValue()+" Base is" +n3.item(g).getFirstChild().getNodeValue());
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Following is my updation code to the dom tree:
NodeList list=doc.getElementsByTagName("Information");
for(int i=0; i<list.getLength();i++){
Node thissampnode=list.item(i);
Node thisNameNode=thissampnode.getFirstChild();
if(thisNameNode==null) continue;
if(thisNameNode.getFirstChild()==null)continue;
// if(thisNameNode.getFirstChild() !(instanceof org.w3c.dom.Text) continue;
String data=thisNameNode.getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
if (! data.equals("0.59")) continue;
Node newsampNode = doc.createElement("Samp");
Node newsampTopNode = doc.createElement("Top");
Text tnNode = doc.createTextNode("0.50");
newsampTopNode.appendChild(tnNode);
Element newsampRef = doc.createElement("Ref");
Text tsr = doc.createTextNode("0");
newsampRef.appendChild(tsr);
Element newsampType = doc.createElement("Type");
Text tt = doc.createTextNode("z");
newsampType.appendChild(tt);
Element newsampbase = doc.createElement("Base");
Text sb = doc.createTextNode("0.55");
newsampbase.appendChild(sb);
newsampNode.appendChild(newsampTopNode);
newsampNode.appendChild(newsampRef);
newsampNode.appendChild(newsampType);
newsampNode.appendChild(newsampbase);
rootNode.insertBefore(newsampNode, thissampnode);
Here i dont see any changes to the original xml source file.

I want to load large raw XML file in firefox and parse by DOM. But, for large XML file the firefox very slow some time crashed . Is there any option to increase DOM handling memory in Firefox

Actually i am using an off-line form to load very large XML file and using firefox to load that form. But, its taking more time to load and some time the browser crashed. through DOM parsing this XML file to my form. Is there any option to increase DOM handler size in firefox

Thank you for your suggestion. I have a question,
though. If I use a relational database and try to
access it for EACH and EVERY click the user makes,
wouldn't that take much time to populate the page with
data?
Isn't XML store more efficient here? Please reply me.You have the choice of reading a small number of records (10 children per element?) from a database, or parsing multiple megabytes. Reading 10 records from a database should take maybe 100 milliseconds (1/10 of a second). I have written a web application that reads several hundred records and returns them with acceptable response time, and I am no expert. To parse an XML file of many megabytes... you have already tried this, so you know how long it takes, right? If you haven't tried it then you should. It's possible to waste a lot of time considering alternatives -- the term is "analysis paralysis". Speculating on how fast something might be doesn't get you very far.

Loading XML file using sql*loader (10g)

Hi Everyone....
I have a major problem. I have a 10g database and I need to use sql loader to load a large XML file into the database. This file contains records for many, many customers. This will be done several times and the number of records will vary. I want to use sql loader and load to a staging table, BUT SPLIT THE RECORDS OUT and add a sequence. I am having 2 problems.
In the 10g documentation, when you want to split the records you use the BEGINDATA clause and indicate something (like a 0) for each instance of a record. Well my first file has 3,722 records in it. How do I know the number of records in each XML file?
The second problem is that because this is XML, I thought that I could use ENCLOSED BY. But the start tag has an attribute /counter in it, sql*loader doesnt recognize the starting tag. (i.e.: start tag is: </CustomerRec number=1>
end tag is: </CustomerRec> )
So, I used TERMINATED BY '</CustomerRec>'. This will split out the records, but it will NOT include the ending tag of </CustomerRec> and when I use extract, I receive an XML parsing error.
I have tried to get the ending tag using CONTINUEIF and SKIP. But those options are for "records" and not lines.
Does anyone have any ideas for the 2 problems above. I am at my wits end and I need to finish this ASAP. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Sorry.... here is an example of what my control file looks like. At the end, I have 92 "0", but remember, I have 3722 records in this first file.
