Loading xml into relational tables.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a product/libraries which does the following:
-Read data from a relational Database (multiple tables) and generate XML files based upon an XML Schema or DTD file?
-Read XML files and load data into a relational Database.
-Graphical Interface for performing the maps (perhaps based upon .xslt). ie.... Mapping of the XML Schema to Multiple Database Tables, Performing Joins etc...
-Ability to connect to any type of Relational database (not just Oracle). Which rules out XML DB.

This product does look to be ok, however it is missing a couple features that I would like the product to have.
I would like this product to be able to insert/update data across multiple tables. Being able to do such things as generate foreign key relationships.
It doesn't seem as though the XML being generated can be customized very easily. Some XML formats I deal with are very complex (such as X12/EDI).
I would really like a graphical mapper.
Here is a note from the doc:
Storing XML Data Across Tables
Currently the XML SQL Utility (XSU) can only store data in a single table. It maps a canonical representation of an XML document into any table or view. But there is a way to store XML with XSU across tables. You can do this using XSLT to transform any document into multiple documents and insert them separately. Another way is to define views over multiple tables (using object views if needed) and then do the insertions into the view. If the view is inherently non-updatable (because of complex joins), then you can use INSTEAD OF triggers over the views to do the inserts.
This product looks really good, I was hoping that Oracle had something comparable:

  • Help needed to load XML into DB table

    I need some serious help if someone can spare the time. I am completely new to XML and don't really understand it yet but I need to be able to load an XML file (example) below.
    I want to load this into a table that would look like the following:

    </BookCollections>I have read through the documentation I could find but I can't get it to work. I had a simple procedure which loaded the text file as a CLOB and then inserted it into an XMLTYPE column but even that wouldn't work. I would rather it loaded as above in seperate columns.
    Is there a simple example someone can help me out with?

    That is very close ORA_SID thank you. But I get the ORA-19025 error when I have more than one Chapter section. The example was a cut down version, ther real file has thousands of Chapters.

  • How To Load XML into a Table

    Hello All,
    I need to load many XML files into their own tables without using the XMLType column type. We need each element/attribute to get it's own column. For example
    <book id="bk103">
    <genre>Mystery</genre>
    </book>
    should load to a table with columns ID, GENRE of type varchar2. I have 1000s of XML files that need to be loaded, each with different data/structure. Ideally, I want to be able to point a SP at a folder that contains, say 250 XML files, run it, then have it create 250 tables each with a column set corresponding to each element/attribute from the XML file. Given that each XML file has a different structure, I need a solution that does not require a table to already exist. A solution that figures it out on the fly, perhaps using the VARCHAR2 type for all columns, would be best. I did notice this post, but it first requires the table to already exist. Is there a way to load 1 or more XML files into their own table with non XMLType datatypes where each table is created on the fly?
    Any help appreciated,
    TIA
    Rob

    Edited by: user10729248 on Dec 19, 2008 6:14 AM

    Thanks for the response but I am not finding the information helpful. The examples provided assume the table into which the XML file is loaded already exists or a CREATE TABLE script is run. I need a solution that creates the table automagically. Can someone provide an example of this please? Also, I'm looking for a PL/SQL SP-based solution if this is possible. Many of the examples use Java; we're using .NET.

  • Load XML Document/Data into relational Table

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to load data in an XML file into an oracle db and subsequently split the contents into columns in an oracle table. This has to be done on the command line from a unix box which connects to a remote oracle DB.
    Can some one give me a step by step procedure to do this or point me in the right direction.
    thank you

    Hi,
    There can be many different way we can achieve this. Mainly depending on size of XML, complexity of XML and your use of that data (e.g. you just want to insert XML into relational or you want to write something and the generate new xmls later on).
    If you go to Oracle online documentation -> Oracle XML DB Developer's guide, first 3-4 chapters will give you what you need.

  • Reading XML file from specific location&Storing xmldata into related tables

    I am new to xml.
    My requirement is,
    1) Get the xml file from specified location (C:\xmlfiles\ xmldata.xml)
    2)Convert xml data in clob data.
    3)store the data into related table.
    and vice-versa.
    What i did,
    a) I got the data from related tables and converted into xmlformat using SQLX
    b)converted this resultset into clob data and stored as xml file in specific location.
    It uses more then ten tables.
    All this help i got from AskTom site , thanks for that.
    Now i have to do vise-versa, i.e. i have to perform 1), 2), 3) steps........
    Please tell me proper steps to acheive it.
    Thanks in advance for giving your precious time to solve my issue.

    Have you read the"XMLDB FAQ" in this Forum?
    You could use stuff like:
    create or replace directory xmldir as C:\xmlfiles'
    declare
    xmldata xmltype;
    begin
    xmldata := xmltype(bfilename('XMLDIR','xmldata.xml'),nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8'));
      -- etc, etc your code --
      -- --> convert to clob by using for instance getclobval() function
      -- --> then insert the data in your relational table with CLOB column
      -- etc, etc your code --
    end;

  • Howto import XML into Excel table ?

    Hi,
    I asked this before in the Excel forums but received the suggestion that I ask here instead.  The question precis : How to ungrey the "Append new data to existing XML lists" checkbox so I can select it when importing XML data into an Excel
    spreadsheet.
    I have a local server which provides data in XML form and need to import successive reloads of the XML page into successive lines in an Excel spreadsheet.  I found the Excel help page entitled "How to use XML in Excel 2003" at http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/excel-help/how-to-use-xml-in-excel-2003-HA001101964.aspx?CTT=1&origin=EC001022986
    which was useful in so far as permitting me to import the data using the XML Source task pane and mapping the elements I need from the XML source to columns in the spreadsheet.
    In order to append successive lines from the XML source page, as I understand it from the link I quoted,  I need to change the XML Map properties to "Append new data to existing XML lists".  However this checkbox is greyed out in the
    XML Map properties dialog box so I can't select it.
    Any ideas how I can achieve my aims here ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    Thank you for contacting Office IT Pro General Discussions Services. 
    From your description, I understand that you tried to import XML into Excel table. You selected “Use the XML Source
    task pane” when opening the XML file, then you tried to check the option in the
    Map Properties window: "Append new data to existing XML lists". 
    However, this option is grayed out. If there is any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.
    I have checked the issue on my side but could not reproduce this issue. I suggest download the sample XML file as suggested on the page and test the
    issue again:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=B4BD3283-AD0B-408D-9CE7-AB9C3537BBBB&displaylang=en
    If the problem does not occur with the sample XML file, this issue might occur as there are some problems with the XML you were using.
    If the problem also occurs in with the sample XML file, this issue might be related to some third-party software conflicts. I suggest checking this
    issue by starting Excel in the safe mode.
    Start the Office program in safe mode
    ==============
    1.      
    Click Start, point to All Programs, and then point to
    Microsoft Office.
    2.       
    Press and hold the CTRL key, and then click
    Microsoft Excel.
    If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Excel program, we can try to disable
    them. Normally, you could do the following to disable the conflict add-ins in your Excel program:
    Disable add-ins
    Click
    Tools > Options > 
    Add-in, click Go button in the Manage:
    Com-in Add.
    Check if there are any add-ins,
    clear the checkbox to disable them.
    Close the Office program and
    restart it.
    Add one check back each time to the list of Add-In,
    restart the Office program, and repeat the above procedure. Once the issue reappears again, we can determine which add-in causes this problem and then disable it.
    Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything
    I can do for you, please feel free to let me know.
    Best Regards,
    Sally Tang

  • Loading data into a table

    I am loading data into a table I created which includes a column "Description" with a data type VARCHAR2(1000). When I go to load the data which is less than 1000 characters I receive the following error message:
    Record 38: Rejected - Error on table SSW_INPUTS, column DESCRIPTION.
    Field in data file exceeds maximum length
    I have increased the size of the column but that does not seem to fix the error. Does anyone know what this error means? Another thought is that I have created the "Description" column to large...which can't be true because I should receive the error when I create the table. Plus I already inputted data into a similar table with similar data and had no problems!
    Someone please help...
    Thank you,
    April.

    Note that I'm assuming Oracle8(i) behavior. Oracle9 may treat Unicode differently.
    Are you inserting Unicode data into the table? Declaring a variable as varchar2(1000) indicates that Oracle should reserve 1000 bytes for data. If you're inserting UTF-8 encoded data, each character may take up to 3 bytes to store. Thus, 334 characters of data could theoretically overflow a varchar2(1000) variable.
    Note that UTF-8 is designed so that the most commonly used characters are stored in 1 byte, less commonly used characters are stored in 2 bytes, and the remainder is stored in 3 bytes. On average, this will require less space than the more familiar UCS-2 encoding which stores every character as 2 bytes of data.

  • Loading XML Data into Relational Table

    Hello,
    I receive an XML file generated from another tool (on Windows), I am trying to create a Linux shell script that will gather the needed XML file from my Linux database server, then have Oracle use this file to load the XML data into a relational table. This activity & data will be needed on an ongoing basis.
    I have tried this two ways. First, I loaded the XML document into the database and tried to extract the data directly from the document, but that is not working. Now I want to try to read the data directly from the file on the server via select, however I am not getting any data returned. In the Select statement below, I am simply trying to query the data to see what is returned for my testing.
    Create Table ci_results_table (transactionID Varchar2(100), //transactionID should be PrimaryKey but was getting NULL value errors during insert test, so removed PK
    message Varchar2(200),
    ci Varchar2(50),
    processeddate xmltype,
    status Varchar2(50),
    sourcefile VarChar2(100));
    select x.*
    from XMLTable(
         'TSPLoadResults/Results'
         PASSING xmltype(bfilename('CMDB_DEVADHOCRESULTS_DIR','LoadResults-HP_146.results.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8'))
         COLUMNS
           transactionID Varchar2(100) PATH 'TransactionID',
           Result XMLType PATH 'Result',
           Message Varchar2(200) PATH 'Message',
           PrimaryKey Varchar2(50) PATH 'PrimaryKey',
           ProcessedDate date PATH 'ProcessedDate',
           Status Varchar2(50) PATH 'Status',
           SourceFile VarChar2(100) PATH 'SourceFileName'
       ) x
    Eventually I will need to build on this to limit the data returned to those records where SourceFileName is like 'HPDS%' and insert what is returned in to the ci_results_table. Attached is a sample Results XML file I am trying to load, It is named "ResultsTransformedtoUnix" because I used dos2Unix to convert it to Unix which may be right or wrong. (The output file I send out has to be transformed to DOS format before the other application can read it). Original file (before Unix conversion) named in script is also attached.
    Please help. Thank you!

    Hi,
    I see some wrong things in your query.
    1) The obvious one, explaining why you're not getting any data : there's a typo in the XQuery expression, it's "Result" not "Results"
    2) ProcessedDate cannot be extracted as a date (at least not directly) since it actually represents a timestamp, use TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE datatype and cast back to DATE in the SELECT clause
    3) transactionID is an attribute, it must be accessed with '@' (or 'attribute::' axis)
    4) If the file encoding is truly ISO-8859-1 as the prolog suggests, then do not use AL32UTF8 but the corresponding charset name : WE8ISO8859P1
    Here's the working query :
    select x.transactionID
         , x.Message
         , x.Primarykey
         , cast(x.ProcessedDate as date) ProcessDate
         , x.Status
         , x.SourceFile
    from XMLTable(
           '/TSPLoadResults/Result'
           PASSING xmltype(bfilename('XML_DIR','LoadResults-HP_146.results.xml'), nls_charset_id('WE8ISO8859P1'))
           COLUMNS
             transactionID Varchar2(100)            PATH '@transactionID',
             Message       Varchar2(200)            PATH 'Message',
             PrimaryKey    Varchar2(50)             PATH 'PrimaryKey',
             ProcessedDate timestamp with time zone PATH 'ProcessedDate',
             Status        Varchar2(50)             PATH 'Status',
             SourceFile    VarChar2(100)            PATH 'SourceFileName'
         ) x
    Using this query directly over the file will only perform decently (for large files) on 11.2.0.4 and onwards.
    On prior versions, first load the file in a (temporary) XMLType column with Binary XML storage and SELECT from there.
    because I used dos2Unix to convert it to Unix which may be right or wrong.
    This conversion shouldn't be necessary.

  • Date insertion from large XML document (clob) into relation table very slow

    Hi Everybody!
    I'm working with Oracle 9.2.0.5 on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.
    The server (a test server) is a Pentium 4 2.8 GHz, 1GB of RAM.
    I use a procedure called PARITOP_TRAITERXMLRESULTMASSE to insert the data contained in the pXMLDOC clob parameter in the table pTABLENAME. (You can see the format of the XML document below). The first step on this procedure is to verify that the XML document is not empty. If not, the procedure needs to add a node in the document, in every <ROW> tag. This added node is named “RST_ID”. It’s the foreign key of each record. I can retrieve the value of each <RST_ID> node in an other table in which the data has been previously added (by the calling procedure). When each of the <ROW> elements has been treated, the PARITOP_INSERTXML procedure is called. This procedure uses DBMS_XMLSAVE.INSERTXML to insert the data contained in the XML document in the specified table.

    Hi Everybody!
    I'm working with Oracle 9.2.0.5 on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition.
    The server (a test server) is a Pentium 4 2.8 GHz, 1GB of RAM.
    I use a procedure called PARITOP_TRAITERXMLRESULTMASSE to insert the data contained in the pXMLDOC clob parameter in the table pTABLENAME. (You can see the format of the XML document below). The first step on this procedure is to verify that the XML document is not empty. If not, the procedure needs to add a node in the document, in every <ROW> tag. This added node is named “RST_ID”. It’s the foreign key of each record. I can retrieve the value of each <RST_ID> node in an other table in which the data has been previously added (by the calling procedure). When each of the <ROW> elements has been treated, the PARITOP_INSERTXML procedure is called. This procedure uses DBMS_XMLSAVE.INSERTXML to insert the data contained in the XML document in the specified table.
    (Below, you can see the code of my procedures.)
    With this information, can you tell me why this treatment is very very very slow with a large XML document and how I can improve it?
    Thank you for your help!

  • How to create XML from relational tables based on an XML Schema ?

    There is no automated way in Oracle XML DB to define an automatic mapping between a set of columns in some existing relational tables and the elements and attributres defined by an XML Schema.
    However it is easy solve this problem by using the SQL/XML operators (XMLAGG, XMLELEMENT, XMLFOREST, XMLATTRIBUTES, etc) to generate XML documents that are compliant with an XML Schema directly from a SQL statement.
    If the XML Schema is registered with Oracle XML DB and the appropraite Schema Location information is added into the generated document using XMLAttributes then it becomes very easy to ensure that the generated documents are valid.
    The following example show an easy way to do this by creating an XML View that contains the documents to be validated.

    There is no automated way in Oracle XML DB to define an automatic mapping between a set of columns in some existing relational tables and the elements and attributres defined by an XML Schema.
    However it is easy solve this problem by using the SQL/XML operators (XMLAGG, XMLELEMENT, XMLFOREST, XMLATTRIBUTES, etc) to generate XML documents that are compliant with an XML Schema directly from a SQL statement.
    If the XML Schema is registered with Oracle XML DB and the appropraite Schema Location information is added into the generated document using XMLAttributes then it becomes very easy to ensure that the generated documents are valid.
    The following example show an easy way to do this by creating an XML View that contains the documents to be validated.

  • Can't Figure Out How To Import XML into a Table?

    HELP!
    I've been using InDesign for several years now... but everything Ive ever done has been basic one off layout concepts.
    I am working on a website for a musical theater actress and for her resume, Id like to make a PDF which lists in table format the show, theatre and role she had for each job.
    I could do this manually... but Id really like to learn how to just reuse the same XML data that I have for her website and import it into InDesign.
    I have looked at Adobe's help file, I have scoured the internet, and I still can't figure it out... I have done like the adobe support file says... and I cant seem to get the values I create in her resume xml file to show up in a table I create in InDesign.
    I even tried to simplify it for the learning process and did something as basic as an XML file that has 5 colors... couldnt even get that working.
    So could someone explain it to me like Im a 5 year old... how to take a XML file, import it, place it in a table and have the data actually show up in the table.
    thanks,
    brian

    Are you sure you want to use XML with tables for this? No doubt importing XML into tables is useful for some specialized tasks, such as importing formatting information inside the XML itself, but for most of the familiar tasks that XML excels at, tables are neither necessary nor useful.
    In my (limited) experience, if the XML elements are well-differentiated, by which I mean different types of data have their own distinctive tags, then the special powers of XML can be exploited more fully using the more familiar tagged text, nested tags etc. in ordinary text frames using paragraph breaks, tab characters, etc. to achieve a suitably "tabular" finished appearance.
    If you must import XML into tables, I recommend Adobe's own PDF "Adobe InDesign CS3 and XML: A Technical Reference" availabe here:
    http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/indesign/articles/indcs3ip_xmlrules.pdf
    It sounds very daunting -- the words "technical reference" make me shudder -- but actually it's very readable and not very technical at all. Some nice pics and everything!

  • Shell scripts to read data from a text file and to load it into a table

    Hi All,
    I have a text file consisting of rows and columns as follows,
    GEF001 000093625 MKL002510 000001 000000 000000 000000 000000 000000 000001
    GEF001 000093625 MKL003604 000001 000000 000000 000000 000000 000000 000001
    GEF001 000093625 MKL005675 000001 000000 000000 000000 000000 000000 000001 My requirement is that, i should read the first 3 columns of this file using a shell script and then i have to insert the data into a table consisting of 3 rows in oracle .
    the whole application is deployed in unix and that text file comes from mainframe. am working in the unix side of the application and i cant access the data directly from the mainframe. so am required to write a script which reads the data from text file which is placed in certain location and i have to load it to oracle database.
    so I can't use SQL * loader.
    Please help me something with this...
    Thanks in advance.

    1. Create a dictionary object in Oracle and assign it to the folder where your file resides
    2. Write a little procedure which opens the file in the newly created directory object using ULT_FILE and inside the FOR LOOP and do INSERTs to table you want
    3. Create a shell script and call that procedure
    You can use the post in my Blog for such issues
