Mark Logic vs. Oracle XML Database?

Hi,
I'm comparing Mark Logic vs Oracle XML database for a new project. All the data is well structured and validated XML data. Any comments, suggestions, personal experiences with either product will be extremely helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Dave

In 5+ years Oracle will still be the #1 database on the planet and people who have it on their resume will be employable.
In 5+ years Mark Logic will be out of business, a marginal player, or absorbed by either Oracle, IBM, or Microsoft. Unless you find some great romantic attraction to marginal technologies, can I recommend RPG II or ALGOL or Ingres, I would highly recommend Oracle.
Right now, at dice.com, there are 1,745 jobs listing Oracle and XML: There are 15 listing Mark Logic.
But heck the world economy is booming so why let that affect your decision. <g>

First time with Oracle XML database

Hi!
I'm a beginner with XML and with Oracle XML database so i need same help. I've read the documentation (example for XML Oracle).
What do i need to write XML files from an oracle database and the other way to read XML files into the database?
Or does anyone know how i can get information about this?
Thank's for help!
With best regards
Nicole

Nicole,
One quick way to get xml out of the database is to use the dbms_xmlgen.getXML package.
i.e. in sqlplus
set long 4000
select dbms_xmlgen.getxml('select * from emp') from dual;
or
set long 4000
select dbms_xmlgen.getxml('select column_name from owner.tablename') from dual;

"Oracle xml Database" INVALID

Hi,
when i executed the following query:
SELECT COMP_NAME, STATUS
FROM DBA_SERVER_REGISTRY;
i got all the objects status as VALID except that
"ORACLE XML Database" was INVALID
Can someone help me to make this "ORACLE XML Database" as VALID.
Thanks,
Philip.

HI Frank,
now what i did was i actually ran catpatch.sql and utlrp.sql after i did startup migrate.
and when i did
SELECT COMP_NAME, STATUS
FROM DBA_SERVER_REGISTRY;
i got all objects as valid, but i dont see "Oracle XML Database" anymore.
so now i suppose i cannot reinstall, but actually do a fresh install. and the following are the steps for a fresh install in the documentation
Installing a New Oracle XML DB Manually Without Database Configuration Assistant
After the database installation, you must run the following SQL scripts in rdbms/admin connecting to SYS to install Oracle XML DB after creating a new tablespace for Oracle XML DB repository. Here is the syntax for this:
catqm.sql <XDB_password> <XDB_TS_NAME> <TEMP_TS_NAME>
#Create the tables and views needed to run XML DB
For example:
catqm.sql change_on_install XDB TEMP
Reconnect to SYS again and run the following:
catxdbj.sql #Load xdb java library
Note:
Make sure that the database is started with Oracle9i release 2 (9.2.0) compatibility or higher, and Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is installed.
Postinstallation
After the manual installation, carry out these tasks:
1.     Add the following dispatcher entry to the init.ora file:
dispatchers="(PROTOCOL=TCP) (SERVICE=<sid>XDB)"
2.     Restart the database and listener to enable Oracle XML DB protocol access.
3.     To allow for unauthenticated access to your Oracle XML DB repository data through HTTP, you must also unlock the ANONYMOUS user account.
is this right. can u tell me what i should do please.
Thanks,
Philip.

10R2 Upgrade on Linux stuck upgrading Oracle XML database

Folks,
I am upgrading Oracle from 10g r1 to r2 (10.1.0.4 to 10.2.0.1). This is not a large database. Size is around 70gb. It is taking forever to upgrade Oracle XML database. It is running for over 20 hours now.
I checked the logs and nothing seems to be an issue. Did not get any erros.
Any idea why xml database upgrade would take so long?.
I Appreciate your replies.

How are you performing the upgrade?

JDeveloper and Oracle XML Database Development

Hello, folks:
I am trying to create XML database through JDeveloper.
Database: Oracle 10g
IDE: JDeveloper 11.1.2.2.0
JDBC Driver: Oracle ojdbc6.jar
I connect successfully to the database through JDeveloper. There I see many folders listed, e.g. Tables, Views, Indexes, XML Schemas, XML DB Repository, and others. My problem is that when I try to save a large schema file (that I already validated on my local machine) that is roughly more than 300 lines, then JDeveloper is unable to save the file. It saves only very small files that are about 100 lines or less. The error message simply is: "Unable to save XML Schema blah.filename@local (Error saving XML Schema).
I tried to do it in Oracle SQL Developer, but got the same error. Can someone please help me understand this problem and how to fix it? Do I need to specify some settings in JDeveloper or SQL Developer? Thanks a lot in advance.
Asif

The XML database engine used in JDev is in fact from SQL Developer. In other words the SQL Developer code base is used by JDev though typically it is an older version than the latest SQL Developer. As such best post this question to the SQL Developer forum and ensure to state which standalone SQL Developer version you're using.

Oracle Xml Database Invalid On Dba_registry in Oracle 9i

Hi All,
We are facing some issue with XML DB status of this component is showing INVALID in dba_registry
and we try to validate it with below step
connect / as sysdba
execute dbms_regxdb.validatexdb;
but it gives us below error
SQL> execute dbms_regxdb.validatexdb;
BEGIN dbms_regxdb.validatexdb; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00201: identifier 'DBMS_REGXDB.VALIDATEXDB' must be declared
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:

Thanks in advance
Regards,
Bhanu Chander

Hello,
If XMD DB is not currently used you can try to reinstall XML DB by executing the following scripts as sysdba:
To deinstall:
@OH/rdbms/admin/catnoqm.sql
To reinstall:
@?/rdbms/admin/catqm.sql
@?/rdbms/admin/catxdbj.sql Before doing that you should set the following parameter as follows:
shared_pool_size =150 MB
java_pool_size =150 MB And, Turn on AUTO EXTEND on the XDB tablespace.
For more details please look at the Notes *243554.1* of My Oracle Support.
Hope it can help.

XML Database in Apps Databases

Hi,
What is the use of XML database in Apps Databases...it has XML Schema...etc etc..what purpose is that...

If you are using XMLTYPE in stored procedures,
views, functions, columns or tables you need the XDB
feature in order for the base XMLTYPE to have
complete functionality of it's member functions.
This means if you were directed to remove XDB for
some other reason you must follow the steps to put
it back in if you want to use the XMLTYPE. You will
also require it if you are using any of the standard
pl/sql apis such as DBMS_XMLDOM and DBMS_XMLQUERY
to name a couple.Yes, this is from the first note. If you check the other one, you would also find that Oracle XML Database has to be installed correctly (Oracle 10g Release 2 and above) in order to have a successful interMedia installation. For getting more details about "Oracle interMedia", check the the same note (Question 1).

XML Database Contract in Hoffman Estates, IL

Hi,
Sorry about using this forum for job posting, but I can't find any candidates with XML database experience. I have a two month Oracle XML Database contract in Hoffman Estates, IL. The pay rate for this position is open and you do not have to be located in Hoffman Estates. In this contract you will be working with Enterprise Application Integration utilizing J2EE development platform, which includes: IBM WebSphere apps server, Oracle XML DB, and SonicMQ/XQ messaging infrastructure.
Job Description:
Design, develop and deploy the Oracle XML database. Work closely with the project team on the overall integration.
Skill                Experience      Need
1) XML technology      Expert           Required

3) J2EE technology      Expert           Desired

I have some Interface Mapping questions I was hoping someone could help me with. As you know, my source is an XML File and my target is an OracleDB. I'll start with the "EFFECTIVEDATE" field which was automatically mapped when I added the Source and Target Datastores. As I previously mentioned, this caused an error "Target Column EFFECTIVEDATE: Data may be truncated: the target Column is smaller than the source Column". After looking further into it, would the problem be that the "EFFECTIVEDATE" datatype in the XML is "DATETIME" whereas the "EFFECTIVEDATE" datatype in the database is "TIMESTAMP"? If so, what would be the fix for this? Could I convert it in the Implemenation Mapping like so? -
CONVERT(MONEY.EFFECTIVEDATE,TIMESTAMP)
Would using that in the Implementation simply do the trick?
Anyway, moving onto some of the other TARGET fields...
-ACTIVITYGUID
This should be an automatically generated new GUID value. How could I implement this into the Implementation?
-TRANSACTIONGUID
I'll need to query some of the other tables in the database in order to get this value. Is this allowed in the Implemenation? Do I have to add said tables to the target somehow? Can I just query the other tables in the Implementation field using normal select statements, etc.? I'm a bit confused on how this would work...
-TYPECODE
This needs to be a fixed value of '01'. How do I simply do that in the Implementation?
The other fields will all be implemented similar to the above so those are the main questions I have for now. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks again for your help.

Oracle 10g database options

We have Oracle 10.2. I used dba_registry to get database options. How to find these options' dependencies?
dba_dependencies has dependencies for all packages, funtions, procedures and triggers. But options are Oracle components.
My purpose is that we don't need some options and need to get rid of them. Before I do it, I need to see options' dependencies.
Please advise.
Thanks

What "things" are they asking you to remove?
Most likely this person or persons has no idea the danger and consequences of what they are asking.
The security of an Oracle database is not enhanced by removing anything that shows up in DBA_REGISTRY.
Here's the list:
SQL> select comp_name from dba_registry;
COMP_NAME
OWB
Oracle Application Express
Oracle Enterprise Manager
Oracle Ultra Search
OLAP Catalog
Spatial
Oracle Multimedia
Oracle XML Database
Oracle Text
Oracle Expression Filter
Oracle Rules Manager
Oracle Workspace Manager
Oracle Database Catalog Views
Oracle Database Packages and Types
JServer JAVA Virtual Machine
Oracle XDK
Oracle Database Java Packages
OLAP Analytic Workspace
Oracle OLAP APIWhat here compromises security?
I understand it is dangerous as an employee to tell an employer to back off. So feel free to point your employer to me and I would be happy to tell them what you may not be able to say.

Is XML database separately licensable

Is oracle xml database separately licensable or can we just install it in an existing Enterprise Edition licensed database?

It is just like, for example, APEX a "*no cost option*".
That means that if you pay for the database software (whatever flavor), you are allowed to use it (so for no extra costs=you have paid you fee via buying the database software). From Oracle 11g and onwards its core functionality of the database anyway and (can/) should be installed default.
