Loading xml data into table

Question

When I try to load data following the document
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showNOT?p_id=121405.1&p_showHeader=1&p_showHelp=0
I get these messages:
SQL> exec loadxml;
ERROR:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 29:
PLS-00553: character set name is not recognized
ORA-06550: line 0, column 0:
PL/SQL: Compilation unit analysis terminated
I have created example.xml file from the example shown in the above document, as well as procedule loaxml from the document. I would appreciate if you could point out what could be wrong. How do I verify that jserver and XML-SQL (XSU) Utility is installed?

Answer 1

I did some basic testing. I logged in as SYS-user.
SELECT directory_name,directory_path
FROM all_directories where directory_name like 'XML%';
gives the directory in db-server ok:
DIRECTORY_NAME ...... DIRECTORY_PATH
XML_FILES ................... D:\OWB_Files
If i run this:
SELECT DBMS_LOB.getLength( BFileName('XML_FILES','asi.xml'))
AS length FROM dual;
i get this:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-22288: file or LOB operation GETLENGTH failed
The system cannot find the file specified.ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOB", line 566
I made a copy of one xml-file to name asi.xml and grated to USER all priviledges in Windows Explorer. I also run this in SQL*Plus: grant all on directory XML_FILES to public;
If i made a typo to directory name 'XML_FILES' -> 'XML_zzzFILES' i get different error message: ORA-22285: non-existent directory or file for GETLENGTH operation.
So, directory is okay? But all the files are some in the shadows? Once again - run out of ideas.
