Loading XML file data

Hello
I am using Spry.Widget.AutoSuggest to sort the data from an
external XML file
In the XML there are some url-s pointing to pictures to be
loaded but the problem is that they all loads in the cache as the
page initializes.
Although they are not shown at the begining i can see them
caching ( firebug for mozilla)
Is there any way to load the appropriate pictures (data) just
after it matches the AutoSuggest search criteria.
the example files are :
http://www.evtinobg.com/newWebSite/_search.php
http://www.evtinobg.com/newWebSite/models.xml
thanx a lot

Please read the FAQ thread and posting guidelines... Also please see the XML DB basic demo.. And try forum search, this question (or variant's of it) have been asked and answered so many times that it's really not worth starting (another) new thread on this issue.

Most efficient way to load XML file data into tables

I have a complex XML file running into MBs. I want to load it's data into 7-8 tables.
Which way will be better:
1) Use SQL Loader to actually load directly into the 7-8 tables directly by modifying the control card.
Is this really possible and feasible? I am not even sure about it
2) Load data as XML Type in a table and register it. Then extract from there to load into various tables.
Please help. I have to find the most efficient way of doing it.
Regards,
Sudhir

Yes it is possible to use SQL*Loader to parse and load XML, but that is not what it was designed for and so is not recommended. You also don't need to register a schema, just to load/store/parse XML in the DB either.
So where does that leave you?
Some options
{thread:id=410714} (see page 2)
{thread:id=1090681}
{thread:id=1070213}
Those talk some about storage options and reading in XML from disk and parsing XML. They should also give you options to consider. Without knowing more about your requirements for the effort, it is difficult to give specific advice. Maybe your 7-8 tables don't exist and so using Object Relational Storage for the XML would be the best solution as you can query/update tables that Oracle creates based off the schema associated to the XML. Maybe an External Table definition works better for reading the XML into the system because this process will happen just once. Maybe using WebDAV makes more sense for loading XML to be parsed (I don't have much experience with this, just know it is possible from what I've read on the forums). Also, your version makes a difference as you have different options available depending upon the version of Oracle.
Hope all that helps as a starter.

How to load xml file data

hi ,
I know how to load data from csv file...
Anyone can guide me for how to load data from xml file
i need step by step guidence
from
naman

hi naman shah,
you can used XML DOM in SAP in order to read data from xml file
first step to do that, you need to read the xml file using OPEN DATASET
after that you convert the content of the file to XML DOM class in SAP using function modul SDIXML_XML_TO_DOM
after that you can read / manipulate the data from xml.
for the XML DOM class documentation in SAP, please refer to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/bb/576637dca511d4990b00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm
hopes it helps

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.

Loading XML file in SQL Developer become ONE ROW !!

Hi:
I load the XML file to SQL Developer.
I found out that the XML files data are in one ROW?
Am I right?
Please let me know please
Sem

Hi RAGS1109,
If our XML data starts to get more complicated (multiple levels of elements / attributes), we start getting more outputs, we will have to join those outputs with a merge join transform.
Please refer to the following document how to dealing with multiple outputs for XML data source:

How to load XML files into ORACLE8i database?

SAP data is being extracted into XML format (via IDOC) files which are being transferred to an ORACLE8i box. There will be a large amount of data transferred on a daily basis which will include updates and inserts. From all the information that I have read on this subject there are 2 options available :
1. XML-SQL Utility - which converts XML into INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE SQL. There does not appear to be that much functionality available by this method for decodes, transformations on the input data.
2. SQL*Loader - There was a statement in 1 piece of documentation stating that SQL*Loader could be used for loading XML format data files. I cannot however find any further information on how this is achieved or how it works.
If anyone has any experience in loading XML format data files using either of the above methods (preferably SQL*Loader as it has more functionality) then could you please provide me with examples or guidance on this matter? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am not familiar with XML format data files. I am from an Oracle 7.3 background but do not have much experience with Oracle 8 onwards.
Disclaimer.
Any views expressed in the above paragraphs are my own and not that of Hewlett Packard Ltd.

We are loading XML into our database using CLOB datatypes. We don't use the XSU for inserts as it is too slow. We parse the incoming XML document into a PL/SQL record type and then build a generic insert. This might not work well if you have many tags to parse into columns. We also store the entire XML CLOB into a column without parsing the individual tags into separate columns. We then use Intermedia Text for fast, index-based searching within the XML column.
Check out The Oracle XML Portal website for code examples on how to do this:

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
File Menu > New > All Technologies tab > General > XML > XML Schema from XML Document.
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

OWB11gR2 - simple and easy way to load XML formatted data into db tables?

Hi,
we're currently trying to load table data stored in XML files into our datawarehouse using OWB 11gR2.
However, we're finding this is not quite as trivial as loading flat files...
Most postings on this forum points to the blog-entry title "Leveraging XDB" found here (http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/2007/09/leveraging_xdb.html).
This blog also references the zip-file owb_xml_etl_utils.zip, which seems to have disappeared from it's original location and can now be found on sourceforge.
Anyway, the solution described is for OWB 10g, and when trying to import experts from the zip-file etc. we end up not being able to run the "Create ETL from XSD" expert, as the 11gR2 client is different from the 10g and does not have the Experts menu et.al.
Also, this solution was published over 3 years ago, and it seems rather strange that importing XML-formatted data should still be so cumbersome in the newer warehouse builder releases.
The OWB 11gR2 documentation is very sparse (or rather - quite empty) on how to load XML data, all it has is a few lines on "XML Transformations", giving no clue as to how one goes about loading data.
Is this really the state of things? Or are we missing some vital information here?
We'd have thought that with 11g-releases, loading XML-data would be rather simple, quick and painless?
Is there somewhere besides the blog mentioned above where we can find simple and to the point guidelines for OWB 11gR2 on how to load XML-formatted data into Oracle tables?
Regards,
-Haakon-

Load XML files

Hi Guys,
do you have any experience with loading XML files into BI 7.0?
I've got XML files with transaction data (and XSD files - "translation files for that XML") located in the Enterprise Portal Respository.
Which would be the best way to load that information into BI?
Transfer with UD Connect using BI XMLA Connector or is it only for OLAP providers such as MS Analyses Services?
Any help will be appreciate
cheers

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
