Loading XML File to Physical table in BW

Hi,
I have a requirement to load XML file BW physical table.
The XML file that I am getting looks pretty complex compared to the XML file I have seen online.
I need help in transforming the file and Abap code to load the file to physical table
I have already created the table in SE11.
XML file
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?mso-application progid="Excel.Sheet"?>
<Row ss:AutoFitHeight="0" ss:Height="36">
    <Cell ss:StyleID="s62"><Data ss:Type="String">First Name</Data></Cell>
    <Cell ss:StyleID="s62"><Data ss:Type="String">Bank Name -
add. info</Data></Cell>
   </Row>
   <Row ss:AutoFitHeight="0" ss:Height="22.5" ss:StyleID="s67">
    <Cell><Data ss:Type="String">John Mayor</Data></Cell>
    <Cell><Data ss:Type="String">New: Local bank</Data></Cell
   </Row>
my requirement is to get this values into physical table i.e
First name                 bank name
John Mayor               new: local bank
thanks

Loading XML files into Database table

Loading XML files into Database table
Hi I have some XML files say 100 files in a virtual directory created using "Create or replace directory command" and those files need to be loaded into a table having a column of XMLTYPE. 1)How to load that using Oracle provided procedures/packages

Check out the Oracle XDB Developer's Guide, Chapter 3. There is an example of using BFileName function to load the xml files from a directory object created using create or replace directory. It works really well.

Load XML File into temporary tables using sql loader

Hi All,
I have an XML file as below. I need to insert the contents into a temporary staging table using sql loader. Please advice how I need to do that.
For example Portfolios should go into a seperate table, and all the tags inside it should be populated in the columns of the table.
Family should go into a seperate table and all the tags inside it should be populated in the columns of the table.
Similarly offer, Products etc.

Two options that come to mind. Others exist.
#1 - {thread:id=474031}, which is basically storing the XML in an Object Relational structure for parsing
#2 - Dump the XML into either an XMLType based table or column and use SQL (with XMLTable) to create a view that parses the data. This would be the same as the view shown in the above post.
Don't use sql*loader to parse the XML. I was trying to find a post from mdrake about that but couldn't. In short, sql*loader was not build as an XML parser so don't try to use it that way.

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.

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.

Loading XML files into multiple tables

I've got XML like so...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MainTitle Version="1.0" Date="2009-01-11">
<MainName>
<ID1>A</ID1>
<ID2>ABC</ID2>
<ID3>ABC123</ID3>
<Desc>Some text</Desc>
<feature>f1</feature>
<feature>f2</feature>
<Category>
<name>n1</name>
<attribute>more stuff</attribute>
</Category>
<Category>
<name>n2</name>
<attribute>even more stuff</attribute>
</Category>
<Category>
<name>n3</name>
<attribute>different stuff</attribute>
</Category>
<Category>
<name>n4</name>
<attribute>More of the same<attribute>
<attribute>But different still</attribute>
<attribute>Even more different junk<attribute>
</Category>
</MainName>
</MainTitle>
Where each MainName instance in the file can have 0 or more ( unbounded ) Category and Feature tags and each Category instance can have multiple attribute tags. The file contains many thousands of MainName instances and has embedded a good mix of possible tags.
I believe I can load this into 9i xmltype table or a 9i table with an xmltype column, then query the data to get it out...
SQL> create table mytab (
2 xmlraw XMLType
3 );
Table created.

This all works just fine, however, it's not quite what I need. For starters, the multiple tag data is concatenated and when I try to specifically query it out using a where clause I get ORA 22950. So, not sure how to deal with that.
Is it possible to use sqlldr to get the 200MB XML file loaded into a table like that above?
Now, given multiple "feature" and "category" data per "MainName", I need to use the SQL to dump the XML data into a set of tables built to model the structure of the XML...
roughly..
Main_Table (
ID1 Varchar2(10)
ID2 varchar2(10)
ID3 varchar2(10)
desc varchar2(100)
Features_Table (
ID1 varchar2(10)
feature varchar2(100)
Category_Table (
ID1 varchar2(10)
name varchar2(100)
attribute varchar2(100)
What are the groups recommendations here? Should I continue down this route or is there a better way?

When I suggested the option to parse the XML in PL/SQL I was referring to pulling the data into PL/SQL and then performing all parsing activity against the PL/SQL copy and you don't need to make SQL calls.
Here is a quick sample for parsing out all the Category/name elements from the XML once it is loaded into PL/SQL
DECLARE
l_index     PLS_INTEGER;
l_category XMLTYPE;
l_db_row    XMLTYPE := XMLTYPE('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MainTitle Version="1.0" Date="2009-01-11">
   <MainName>
      <ID1>A</ID1>
      <ID2>ABC</ID2>
      <ID3>ABC123</ID3>
      <Desc>Some text</Desc>
      <feature>f1</feature>
      <feature>f2</feature>
      <Category>
         <name>n1</name>
         <attribute>more stuff</attribute>
      </Category>
      <Category>
         <name>n2</name>
         <attribute>even more stuff</attribute>
      </Category>
      <Category>
         <name>n3</name>
         <attribute>different stuff</attribute>
      </Category>
      <Category>
         <name>n4</name>
         <attribute>More of the same</attribute>
         <attribute>But different still</attribute>
               <attribute>Even more different junk</attribute>
          </Category>
     </MainName>
</MainTitle>');
BEGIN
   l_index := 1;
   WHILE l_db_row.Existsnode('/MainTitle/MainName/Category[' ||
                             To_Char(l_index) || ']') > 0
   LOOP
      l_category := l_db_row.Extract('/MainTitle/MainName/Category[' ||
                                       To_Char(l_index) || ']');
      dbms_output.put_line(l_category.extract('Category/name/text()').getStringVal());
      l_index := l_index + 1;
   END LOOP;
END;You could repeat the WHILE loop to parse out the attribute column as well since it repeats. This is what Dave's post was showing and what I was referring to.
Hint: If you are trying to use .extract to go after an optional node, you need to verify the node exists via existsNode first. If you don't you can get an "ORA-30625: method dispatch on NULL SELF argument is disallowed" error when trying to extract a non-existent node.

Not a perfectly framed question. How do you want to load the XML file? Hoping you want to parse the xml file and load it into a table you can do this.
This is the xml file
karthick% cat emp_details.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<EMPNO>7782</EMPNO>
<ENAME>CLARK</ENAME>
<JOB>MANAGER</JOB>

You can write a query like this.

How to load a XML file into a table

Hi,
I've been working on Oracle for many years but for the first time I was asked to load a XML file into a table.
As an example, I've found this on the web, but it doesn't work
Can someone tell me why? I hoped this example could help me.
the file acct.xml is this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
<HEADER>
<STATUS_CODE>100</STATUS_CODE>
<STATUS_REMARKS>check</STATUS_REMARKS>
</HEADER>
<DETAILS>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>2</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>3</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic administration</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>4</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic finance</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>5</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic logistics</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
</DETAILS>
<HEADER>
<STATUS_CODE>500</STATUS_CODE>
<STATUS_REMARKS>process exception</STATUS_REMARKS>
</HEADER>
<DETAILS>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>20</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS> base polytechnic</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>30</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>40</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS> base polytechnic finance</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>50</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS> base polytechnic logistics</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
</DETAILS>
</ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
For the two tags HEADER and DETAILS I have the table:
create table xxrp_acct_details(
status_code number,
status_remarks varchar2(100),
segment_number number,
remarks varchar2(100)
before I've created a
create directory test_dir as 'c:\esterno'; -- where I have my acct.xml
and after, can you give me a script for loading data by using XMLTABLE?
I've tried this but it doesn't work:
DECLARE
acct_doc xmltype := xmltype( bfilename('TEST_DIR','acct.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8') );
BEGIN
insert into xxrp_acct_details (status_code, status_remarks, segment_number, remarks)
select x1.status_code,
        x1.status_remarks,
        x2.segment_number,
        x2.remarks
from xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
passing acct_doc
columns header_no      for ordinality,
          status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
          status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
) x1,
xmltable(
'$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS[$hn]/DETAIL'
passing acct_doc as "d",
          x1.header_no as "hn"
columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
          remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS'
) x2
END;
This should allow me to get something like this:
select * from xxrp_acct_details;
Statuscode status remarks segement remarks
100 check 2 rp polytechnic
100 check 3 rp polytechnic administration
100 check 4 rp polytechnic finance
100 check 5 rp polytechnic logistics
500 process exception 20 base polytechnic
500 process exception 30
500 process exception 40 base polytechnic finance
500 process exception 50 base polytechnic logistics
but I get:
Error report:
ORA-06550: line 19, column 11:
PL/SQL: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got NUMBER
ORA-06550: line 4, column 2:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
06550. 00000 - "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
*Cause:    Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
and if I try to change the script without using the column HEADER_NO to keep track of the header rank inside the document:
DECLARE
acct_doc xmltype := xmltype( bfilename('TEST_DIR','acct.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8') );
BEGIN
insert into xxrp_acct_details (status_code, status_remarks, segment_number, remarks)
select x1.status_code,
        x1.status_remarks,
        x2.segment_number,
        x2.remarks
from xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
passing acct_doc
columns status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
          status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
) x1,
xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS'
passing acct_doc
columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
          remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS'
) x2
END;
I get this message:
Error report:

My oracle version is 10gR2 Express Edition
I do need a script for loading xml files into a table as soon as possible, Give me please a simple example for understanding and that works on 10gR2 Express Edition
Thanks in advance!

The reason your first SQL statement
select x1.status_code,
        x1.status_remarks,
        x2.segment_number,
        x2.remarks
from xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
passing acct_doc
columns header_no      for ordinality,
          status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
          status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
) x1,
xmltable(
'$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS[$hn]/DETAIL'
passing acct_doc as "d",
          x1.header_no as "hn"
columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
          remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS'
) x2
returns the error you noticed
PL/SQL: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got NUMBER
is because Oracle is expecting XML to be passed in. At the moment I forget if it requires a certain format or not, but it is simply expecting the value to be wrapped in simple XML.
Your query actually runs as is on 11.1 as Oracle changed how that functionality worked when 11.1 was released. Your query runs slowly, but it does run.
As you are dealing with groups, is there any way the input XML can be modified to be like
<ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
<ACCOUNT_GROUP>
<HEADER>....</HEADER>
<DETAILS>....</DETAILS>
</ACCOUNT_GROUP>
<ACCOUNT_GROUP>
<HEADER>....</HEADER>
<DETAILS>....</DETAILS>
</ACCOUNT_GROUP>
</ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
so that it is easier to associate a HEADER/DETAILS combination? If so, it would make parsing the XML much easier.
Assuming the answer is no, here is one hack to accomplish your goal
select x1.status_code,
        x1.status_remarks,
        x3.segment_number,
        x3.remarks
from xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
passing acct_doc
columns header_no      for ordinality,
          status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
          status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
) x1,
xmltable(
'$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS'
passing acct_doc as "d",
columns detail_no      for ordinality,
          detail_xml     xmltype       path 'DETAIL'
) x2,
xmltable(
'DETAIL'
passing x2.detail_xml
columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
          remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS') x3
WHERE x1.header_no = x2.detail_no;
This follows the approach you started with. Table x1 creates a row for each HEADER node and table x2 creates a row for each DETAILS node. It assumes there is always a one and only one association between the two. I use table x3, which is joined to x2, to parse the many DETAIL nodes. The WHERE clause then joins each header row to the corresponding details row and produces the eight rows you are seeking.
There is another approach that I know of, and that would be using XQuery within the XMLTable. It should require using only one XMLTable but I would have to spend some time coming up with that solution and I can't recall whether restrictions exist in 10gR2 Express Edition compared to what can run in 10.2 Enterprise Edition for XQuery.

How to load XML files ? HELP!

Hi folks.
We have an old Oracle database 7.3..
So we need to load XML files into its tables.
As we understand Oracle Loader doesn't help us.
Is the way to load that files?
Thanks in advance
Alex

I know you realize 7.3 is old but this is sort of like trying trying to view a DVD when you only have a VCR. Simple answer would be buy a DVD player, i.e. upgrade to a more recent version of Oracle where you will get many features to handle XML.
How do you want the XML loaded, all as a single object? That could be a CLOB column if 7.3 had them, I am not sure. You would probably have to write PL/SQL and something with UTL_FILE (if 7.3 had that) to load it.
If you want to put it multiple columns based on its tags, you would be better off parsing it using PERL (or something) into a CSV and loading that in SQL*Loader.
I assume as this is using XML it is a reasonably recent design, combining that with an ancient version of the database is just going to lead to endless headaches.

Loading xml file using owb

Hi Gurus,
I am new to owb and as per requirement we need to load xml files into oracle table using owb.
below is the xml file:

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>

what properties we need to set for loading xml file in to table?

You need an XML file and an XSD. Some examples:

Inserting XML file into a Table

Hello,
Can someone provide me with a sample code to load xml files into a table. Thanks a lot.
Rajeesh

Keeping my fingers crossed that this quote from "Building XML Oracle Applications" by Steve Muench (O'Reilly & Associates, 2000, ISBN 1-56592-691-9) falls into the "fair use" category, and that you want it in PL/SQL, here is a procedure:
PROCEDURE insertXMLFile
(dir VARCHAR2, file VARCHAR2, name VARCHAR2 := NULL) IS
theBFile BFILE;
theCLob CLOB;
theDocName VARCHAR2(200) := NVL(name,file);
BEGIN
-- (1) Insert a new row into xml_documents with an empty CLOB, and
-- (2) Retrieve the empty CLOB into a variable with RETURNING.INTO
INSERT INTO stylesheets(docname,sheet) VALUES(theDocName,empty_clob( ))
RETURNING sheet INTO theCLob;
-- (3) Get a BFile handle to the external file
theBFile := BFileName(dir,file);
-- (4) Open the file
dbms_lob.fileOpen(theBFile);
-- (5) Copy the contents of the BFile into the empty CLOB
dbms_lob.loadFromFile(dest_lob => theCLob, src_lob => theBFile, amount => dbms_lob.getLength(theBFile));
-- (6) Close the file and commit
dbms_lob.fileClose(theBFile);
COMMIT;
END;
