Loading XML files into an 8.0.6 database...

Hi,
I've got an Oracle 8.0.6 instance (Sun E250 Solaris 5.7) with multiple import data feeds. I am currently using SQL*Loader to load this data which are flat text delimited files. My data feeds will soon be supplying XML files instead of these flat files which is great, unfortunately, I will not be able to upgrade in 8.1.7 in time so that I can use the XML parser.
Is there anyway I can use SQL*Loader or some other tool to load XML files into my 8.0.6 database? If there is a way, could someone please send the information I would need to help perform this task?
Thanks for all your help...

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.

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:
Procedure is:(1)--with username.tablename
begin
wb_xml_load(
'<OWBXMLRuntime>'||
'<XMLSource>'||
'<file>&&SAMPLES_DIR.sample1.xml</file>'||
'</XMLSource>'||

'<target dateFormat="yyyy.MM.dd">scott.PO</target>'||
'</targets>'||
'</OWBXMLRuntime>'
end;

</ROW>
</ROWSET>
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 ).
10 . If you want more description please go through the below link

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.

Loading XML file into non-XML table(s)

HI Gentlemen,
I successfully registered my schema and generated an xml-based table and a TYPE. However, I do not have the table that would correspond to this TYPE. How do I get to it? How can I use FTP or HTTP protocol to load actual data from the corresponding .xml file into this table?
Thanks in advance, kind regards from
Miklos HERBOLY

You need to include the XML schema location information in the XML documents to point to the registered XML schema.
For example,
If you register an XML schema to XML DB with "http://www.example.com/po.xsd"
In the XML document, the xml schema location can be:
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.example.com/po.xsd http://www.example.com/po.xsd">
For more information, you can check the example in the following page:

Loading XML files into flex application

Hi Im trying to load an xml file into my app. The only thing is that its not in the same directory as the application. I'm very new to flex/air and have read alot of articles but cant seem to figure out what i'm doing wrong. I have this so far
var data:File = new File("C:/listener/AuditTrail");
var Data:XML = new XML(data.data);
I dont even know if this is how you are supposed to do it but my ultimate goal is to load the xml and display it on a datagrid.
this is what my xml file looks like
<data>
<audit id="7011611">
<comment>Opened</comment>
<date>14261</date>
<time>79367</time>
<userid>20</userid>
<employee>JEFF SANCHEZ</employee>
</audit>
</data>
This is what my datagrid looks like
<mx:AdvancedDataGrid x="11" y="9" id="AuditTrailList" dataProvider="{Data.audit}" designViewDataType="flat" width="866" height="490">
<mx:columns>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="Comments" width="400" dataField="comment"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="Date" width="70" dataField="date"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="Time" width="70" dataField="time"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="ID" width="55" dataField="userid"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="Employee ID" width="90" dataField="employee"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:AdvancedDataGrid>

Hi,
To load XML to an AdvancedDataGrid, you might want to take a look at this article:

Hope this helps,

Load XML file into oracle xml buffer

Hi guys,
I'm a starter in Oracle XML Development, I wander how I can load a xml file into oracle xml buffer(xmlctx* document) through programming with c++ in visual studio.
When I use orastream structure, it compiled failed.
Thank you very much!

try this
LOAD DATA
INFILE '/home/oraread/'
INTO TABLE xmlloadtable
(id,
file_name filler,
data_xml lobfile(file_name) terminated by eof
)you can add the file_name field as a column to your table between the id and xml column and remove the filler word in the .ldr file if you need to keep the name of the file

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.

Insert Insert XML file into multiple records in Oracle Database

I would like to find out if it is possible to insert a single XML file into multiple records or tuples in a Oracle database table. I have a single XML file which is at multiple levels. The meta data for the levels are common and each level can have meta data of their own in addition. I do not have any meta data field which will uniquely determine whether the data belongs to Root level, Intermediate level or at the document level. Is there any way I can determine which level the meta data belongs to and thereby make a corresponding entry into the database table tuple? For example I could have an attribute called level which is going to be present only in the database table and not in the XML file. If level=1 then it corresponds to "Root" meta data, if level=2 then it corresponds to "Intermediate" level and if level=3 then it corresponds to meta data at document level. I need a way to calculate the value for level from the XML file and thereby insert the meta data element into a tuple in a single table in Oracle.

Hi,
extract your xml and then you can use insert all clause.
here's very small example on 10.2.0.1.0
SQL> create table table1(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> create table table2(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> insert all
2 into table1 values(id,val)
3 into table2 values(id2,val2)
4 select extractValue(x.col,'/a/id1') id
5        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value') val
6        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value2') val2
7        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/id2') id2
8 from (select xmltype('<a><id1>1</id1><value>a</value><id2>2</id2><value2>b</value2></a>') col from dual) x;
2 rows created.
SQL> select * from table1;
        ID VAL
         1 a
SQL> select * from table2;
        ID VAL
         2 b                                                                    Ants

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.

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.

How to load XML files into oracle

I am new to XML.I have a few XML files.I want to load them into oracle.I have oracle client on my win2000 machine version 8.1.6.3.
I cannot find Loadjava.jar file in ORACLE_HOME\bin directory.
Where is the XSU-dsl and the XDK utility?Do i need to down load it?

This forum is dedicated to the XML Features of 9iR2, and to a lesser extent 9i. Questions related to XML and earlier versions of the database should be posted in Technologies -> General -> XML...
I will move this thread to the appropriate forum if required.
