Loading xml metadata into a clob column

Hi,
how can i load metadata for a custom report(OIM) into rep_xml_meta column (clob type) of rep table?
can the metadata be taken in the form of simple text file?

Listen ! !
It for sure gives you entire meta data content, I ran it 50 times at least. By the way, how are you trying to run that query. Use some standard tool like SQL Developer. It directly shows you the data without any query. Here is your meta data, modify it accordingly:
<Report layout="Tabular">
<StoredProcedure>
<InputParameters>
<InputParameter name="reportDateRange" parameterType="varchar2" order="1" fieldType="DateRange" fieldLabel="report.usersDisabled.label.reportDateRange" required="false">
<InputStartDate name="dtstartdate_in" parameterType="varchar2" order="1" defaultValue="01/01/1900" format="reports.generic.message.internalDateFormat"/>
<InputEndDate name="dtenddate_in" parameterType="varchar2" order="2" defaultValue="12/31/2049" format="reports.generic.message.internalDateFormat"/>
</InputParameter>
</InputParameters>

And for inserting again I will say use the tool SQL Developer Its pretty simple.

How to insert more than 32k xml data into oracle clob column

how to insert more than 32k xml data into oracle clob column.
xml data is coming from java front end
if we cannot use clob than what are the different options available

Are you facing any issue with my code?
String lateral size error will come when you try to insert the full xml in string format.
public static boolean writeCLOBData(String tableName, String id, String columnName, String strContents) throws DataAccessException{
boolean isUpdated = true;
Connection connection = null;
try {
connection = ConnectionManager.getConnection ();
//connection.setAutoCommit ( false );
PreparedStatement PREPARE_STATEMENT = null;
String sqlQuery = "UPDATE " + tableName + " SET " + columnName + " = ? WHERE ID =" + id;
PREPARE_STATEMENT = connection.prepareStatement ( sqlQuery );
// converting string to reader stream
Reader reader = new StringReader ( strContents );
PREPARE_STATEMENT.setClob ( 1, reader );
// return false after updating the clob data to DB
isUpdated = PREPARE_STATEMENT.execute ();
PREPARE_STATEMENT.close ();
} catch ( SQLException e ) {
e.printStackTrace ();
finally{
return isUpdated;
Try this JAVA code.

Loading data into a CLOB column

I need to find out how to load about ten sentences of data into a clob column for a table in the database. I have a pl/sql procedure that loads data from an xml file into various tables in the the database. Recently, we added a column (test_dummy) to one of the tables and defined it as a CLOB. There is a corresponding node (detail_info) in the XML file that maps to this column. I need to figure out how to incorporate this in the pl/sql procedure so that the data in the XML file for the node (detail_info) is loaded into "test_dummy". Any ideas?

Take it one at a time. Use 'extract' function to extract an XML snippet from a given XML. The question couldn't be more vague. Maybe an example would help?

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.

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>'||

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.

Joshna

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 ).

Best method to load XML data into Oracle

Hi,
I have to load XML data into Oracle tables. I tried using different options and have run into a dead end in each of those. I do not have knowledge of java and hence have restricted myself to PL/SQL solutions. I tried the following options.
1. Using DBMS_XMLSave package : Expects the ROWSET and ROW tags. Connot change format of the incoming XML file (Gives error oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Start of root element expected).
2. Using the XMLPARSER and XMLDOM PL/SQL APIs : Works fine for small files. Run into memory problems for large files (Gives error java.lang.OutOfMemoryError). Have tried increasing the JAVA_POOL_SIZE but does not work. I am not sure whether I am changing the correct parameter.
I have read that the SAX API does not hog memory resources since it does not build the entire DOM tree structure. But the problem is that it does not have a PL/SQL implementation.
Can anyone PLEASE guide me in the right direction, as to the best way to achieve this through PL/SQL ??? I have not designed the tables so am flexible on using purely relational or object-relational design. Although would prefer to keep a purely relational design. (Had tried used object-relational for 1. and purely relational for 2. above)
The XML files are in the following format, (EXAMINEEs with single DEMOGRAPHIC and multiple TESTs)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Root_Element>
<Examinee>
<MACode>A</MACode>
<TestingJID>TN</TestingJID>
<ExamineeID>100001</ExamineeID>

Thanks for the help.

Please refer to the XSU(XML SQL Utility) or TransX Utility(for Multi-language Document) if you want to load data in XML format into database.
Both of them require special XML formats, please first refer to the following docs:
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/tech/xml/xdk_java/doc_library/Production9i/doc/java/xsu/xsu_userguide.html
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/tech/xml/xdk_java/doc_library/Production9i/doc/java/transx/readme.html
You can use XSLT to transform your document to the required format.
If you document is large, you can use SAX method to insert data into database. But you need to write the code.
The following sample may be useful:

Option to load XML data into BI 70

Hi All,
I have read some postings on forums and also have read the "HOW TO load XML data in BW" guide. I am confused when I read the SAP online help documentation for loading XML data .
Question : Out of the 3 options listed below which option is best suited for loading XML data into BW . XML file is going to be provided by 3rd party company ?
Thanks and appreciate any input .
Smith .
Here is what I found for BI 70 EHP1 help :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/b2/e50138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
Data is generally transferred into SAP BW by means of a data request, which is sent from SAP BW to the source system (pull from the scheduler). You can also send the data to SAP BW from outside the system. This is a data push into SAP BW.
A data push is possible for various scenarios:
●     Transferring Data Using the SOAP Service SAP Web AS
●     Transferring Data Using Web Services
●     Transferring Data Using SAP XI
In all three scenarios, data transfer takes place using transfer mechanisms that are sufficient for Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP); the data transfer is also XML-based.
The SOAP-based transfer of data is only possible for flat structures. You cannot transfer hierarchy data.

Hi,
I feel you can go with 2nd option. But still wait for some more inputs from Experts........

ORA-22275 inserting into the CLOB column using ODBC input parameters

Hi all,
I'm having problem with INSERT into the CLOB column via bound input parameters.
After calling SQLExecDirect() I'm getting following error:
[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-22275: invalid LOB locator specified
Adding defaults to the table definitions does not help. If I embed parameter values into the SQL statement - everything works just fine.
I use Oracle 9.2 with latest Oracle ODBC driver 9.2.0.4 under Windows XP.
Any ideas appreciated...
Vlad
Code looks like this:
SQLBindParameter(hstmt,1,...);
SQLBindParameter(hstmt,2,...);
SQLBindParameter(hstmt,3,...);
SQLExecDirect(hstmt,...);
SQL statement looks like this:
insert into tst_table (id,str_fld,clob_fld1,clob_fld2) values (50, ? , ? , ?)
Table looks like this:
CREATE TABLE tst_table (
     id          number (10,0)     NOT NULL ,
     str_fld          nvarchar2 (50)     NOT NULL ,
     clob_fld1     nclob          NOT NULL ,
     clob_fld2     nclob          NOT NULL ,
     CONSTRAINT PK_tst_table PRIMARY KEY
          id
I tried to add defaults to the table, but result is the same:
CREATE TABLE tst_table (
     id          number (10,0)               NOT NULL ,
     str_fld          nvarchar2 (50)               NOT NULL ,
     clob_fld1     nclob     default EMPTY_CLOB()     NOT NULL ,
     clob_fld2     nclob     default EMPTY_CLOB()     NOT NULL ,
     CONSTRAINT PK_tst_table PRIMARY KEY
          id

You need to provide the data at execution time (i.e. SQL_LEN_DATA_AT_EXEC(0) in the SQLBindParameter followed by a series of SQLPutData calls). If you go to Metalink
Top Tech Docs | Oracle ODBC Driver | Scripts & Sample Code
has some sample code that shows you how to do this.

ORA-01461 when trying to insert text 4000 characters into a CLOB column

I work on a Windows application that connects to databases using ODBC. I'm currently working on adding Oracle support to the application, but I'm running into a lot of problems inserting strings of more than 4000 characters into CLOB columns. First, I tried to do that directly using code similar to the following (setup, cleanup, and error checking snipped for clarity).
SQLHDBC hDbc;
SQLHSTMT hStmt;
unsigned char query[200];
SQLAllocStmt(hDbc, &hStmt);
strcpy(query,"INSERT INTO test_table (col_clob, col_int) ('long string', 1)");
SQLExecDirect(hStmt,query,strlen(query));
Of course, "long string" was really a string of more than 4000 characters. When I did that, I got an error indicating that I needed to use bind parameters for strings that long. However, bind parameters don't seem to work either. I changed my code to something like the following:
SQLHDBC hDbc;
SQLHSTMT hStmt;
unsigned char query[200];
+unsigned char *str=NULL;+
int str_size;
SQLAllocStmt(hDbc, &hStmt);
strcpy(query,"INSERT INTO test_table (col_clob, col_int) (:strvar, 1)");
SQLPrepare(hStmt,query,SQL_NTS);
str = (unsigned char*)malloc(6000 * sizeof(unsigned char));
SQLBindParameter(hStmt, 1, SQL_PARAM_INPUT, SQL_C_CHAR, SQL_VARBINARY, 0, 0, str, sizeof(str), &str_size);
strcpy(str,'long_string');
str_size = SQL_NTS;
SQLExecute(hStmt);
This code works fine when 'long_string' is less than 4000 characters. When it's greater than that, I get the following error:
+[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column+
I'm using Visual Studio.NET 2003 on Windows XP, and Oracle client 11.1.0.6.0. My server version is as follows:
SQL> select * from v$version;
BANNER
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Product
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.1.0 Production
TNS for Linux: Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
I thought I read somewhere that this is a known bug with Oracle 10.2.0.1.0, but I can't seem to find the reference now. Can anyone confirm this or provide some assistance with this problem? Frankly, it seems kind of ridiculous that I can't do something as simple as inserting a reasonably sized amount of text into a CLOB column. I'm considering using BFILEs instead, but that would be kind of a pain to fit into our application, so I'd prefer not to do this if at all possible.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I found this link referring to a similar problem that was apparently fixed in version 10.2.0.4 of the server: ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column Should I try to upgrade the server and see if that fixes things?

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.

Trying to Insert an XML Element into XML data stored in CLOB column

Hi all,
My ORACLE DB version is:
('Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production');
('PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production');
('CORE 11.2.0.2.0 Production');
('TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production');
('NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.2.0 - Production');
I have this XML data stored in a CLOB column:
<Activity>
     <Changes>
     </Changes>
     <Inserts>
     </Inserts>
     <Definition>
     </Definition>
     <Assignment TYPE="Apply">
     </Assignment>
     <Spawned>
          <Activity>576D8CD9-57A1-8608-1563-8F6DC74BDF3C</Activity>
          <Activity>11226E79-5D24-02EB-A950-D34A9CCFB3FF</Activity>
          <Activity>DAA68DC0-CA9A-BB15-DE31-9596E19513EE</Activity>
          <Activity>93F667D6-966A-7EAD-9B70-630D9BEFDDD2</Activity>
          <Activity>FA63D9D3-86BB-3FF0-BE69-17EAA7581637</Activity>
     </Spawned>
     <SpawnedBy>AFC49BD4-5AA7-38C0-AE27-F59D16EE1B1C</SpawnedBy>
</Activity>
I am in need of some assistance in creating an update that will insert another <Activity>SomeGUID</Activity> into the <Spawned> parent.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

See XML updating functions : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e23094/xdb04cre.htm#i1032611
For example :
UPDATE my_table t
SET t.my_clob =
      XMLSerialize(document
        insertChildXML(
          XMLParse(document t.my_clob)
        , '/Activity/Spawned'
        , 'Activity'
        , XMLElement("Activity", 'Some GUID')
WHERE ...
;Although it works, there's overhead introduced by parsing the CLOB, then serializing again.
Is there any chance you can change the CLOB to SECUREFILE binary XMLType storage instead?
You would then be able to benefit from optimized piecewise update of the XML and improved storage.

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.

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.

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:
