Need to Load data in XML file into multiple Oracle tables

Experts
I want to load data that is stored at XML file into multiple Oracle table using plsql.
I am novice in this area.Kindly explain in depth or step by step so that i can achive this.
Thanks in advnace.

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

Load data from XML files into BI

Hi All,
Can any one guide me through the steps which involve in loading data from XML files into BI?
Thanks
Santosh

Hi James,
I have followed upto step No: 12 .
Please could you let me know how to link the XML file on my local drive to BI,
I am not able to find figure out where to specify the path of the XML file to be loaded into BI.
Thanks In Advance

1. Create a Infosource(ZIS), with transfer structure in accordance with the structure in the XML file. (You can open the XML file with MS Excel.This way you can get to know the structure).
2. Activate the transfer rules.
3. After activation ;from the Menu Bar , Select Extras>Create BW Datasource with SOAP connection.
4.Now Activate the Infosurce again, this creates an XML based Datasource(6AXXX...)
5.These steps would create two sub nodes under the Infosource(ZIS).
6.Select Myself system and create a data package and execute it run in Init mode(without Data Transfer).
7. This would create an entry in RSA7(BW delta Queue)
8. Again create another Delta Infopackage under it, and run it. Now the Datasource(6AXXXXXX..) would turn green in RSA7.
9.In Function builder(SE37) select your FM( do a search ,F4, on the datasource 6AXXX....) .
10.Inside this RFC based FM , from the Menu Bar select Utilities>more Utilities>Create Web services>From Function module.
11.A wizard will guide you through the next steps .
12.once this is done a Web serrvice would be enabled in WSADMIN. Select your FM and execute it.
13.From here you can upload the data from XML file into BW delta queue.

Collect data from a dynamic XML file into multiple internal tables

I need to convert the XML file into multiple internal tables. I tried many links and posts in SDN but still was facing difficulty in achieving this. Can some one tell me where I am going wrong.
My XML file is of the following type.It is very complex and the dynamice.
The following tags occur more than once in the XML file. The "I" and "L" tags and its child tags can occur ones or more than once for each XML file and it is not constant. i.e in one file they can occur 1 time and in another they can occur 100 times.
"I" and "L" are child tags of <C>

 <J>10</J>
 <K>EN</K>

<L>
 <J>20</J>
 <N>BB</N>
</L>
Tags <C> and <F> occur only ones for each XML file. <C> is the child tag of "A" and "F" is the child tag of <C>.
I need to collect <D>, <E> in one internal table ITAB.
I need to collect <G>, <H> in one internal table JTAB.
I need to collect <J>, <K> in one internal table KTAB.
I need to collect <J>, <N> in one internal table PTAB.
Below is the complete XML file.
?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<A>
 
 <C>
 <D>RED</D>
 <E>999</E>
 <F>
 <G>TRACK</G>
 <H>PACK</H>
 </F>
 
 <J>10</J>
 <K>EN</K>
 
 
 <J>20</J>
 <K>TN</K>
 
 
 <J>30</J>
 <K>KN</K>
 
 <L>
 <J>10</J>
 <N>AA</N>
 </L>
 <L>
 <J>20</J>
 <N>BB</N>
 </L>
 <L>
 <J>30</J>
 <N>CC</N>
 </L>
 </C>
</A>
With the help of SDN I am able to gather the values of <D> <E> in one internal table.
Now if I need to gather
<G>, <H> in one internal table JTAB.
<J>, <K> in one internal table KTAB.
<J>, <N> in one internal table PTAB.
I am unable to do. I am following XSLT transformation method. If some one has some suggestions. Please help.

Hi Rammohan,
Thanks for the effort!
But I don't need to use GUI upload because my functionality does not require to fetch data from presentation server.
Moreover, the split command advised by you contains separate fields...f1, f2, f3... and I cannot use it because I have 164 fields. I will have to split into 164 fields and assign the values back to 164 fields in the work area/header line.
Moreover I have about 10 such work areas. so the effort would be ten times the above effort! I want to avoid this! Please help!
I would be very grateful if you could provide an alternative solution.
Thanks once again,
Best Regards,

Loading data from .csv file into existing table

Hi,
I have taken a look at several threads which talk about loading data from .csv file into existing /new table. Also checked out Vikas's application regarding the same. I am trying to explain my requirement with an example.
I have a .csv file and I want the data to be loaded into an existing table. The timesheet table columns are -
timesheet_entry_id,time_worked,timesheet_date,project_key .
The csv columns are :
project,utilization,project_key,timesheet_category,employee,timesheet_date , hours_worked etc.
What I needed to know is that before the csv data is loaded into the timesheet table is there any way of validating the project key ( which is the primary key of the projects table) with the projects table . I need to perform similar validations with other columns like customer_id from customers table. Basically the loading should be done after validating if the data exists in the parent table. Has anyone done this kind of loading through the APEX utility-data load.Or is there another method of accomplishing the same.
Does Vikas's application do what the utility does ( i am assuming that the code being from 2005 the utility was not incorporated in APEX at that time). Any helpful advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anjali

Hi Anjali,
Take a look at these threads which might outline different ways to do it -
File Browse, File Upload
Loading CSV file using external table
Loading a CSV file into a table
you can create hidden items in the page to validate previous records before insert data.
Hope this helps,

Importing data- using xml file into HANA Table

Hi,
We are using (HDB STUDIO ) - revision 60.......
Is it possible to import data using XML file into HANA table (Master,Fact tables)?
(Without using any intermediate adapters for conversion of data.....)
Can any one suggest us........
Thank you.

Hi user450616
I am a bit confused about what you are trying to achieve.
Are you:
1. importing a CSV file into APEX
2. adding an extra column to the Oracle Table
3. populating the extra column with the CSV filename?
Let us know if this is what you are trying to do.
Cheers,

Upload an XML file into the Internal table

Hi Guys,
I want to know, how to upload an xml file into the Internal table through ABAP programming

you just wanted to load the xml file into internal table (as a table of binary strings)or load the xml data mapped to itab row columns
for the first one you can simply use gui_upload
and for the second one you need to load the xml file using gui_upload and use XLST program to transform into an itab

Use XSU to store in multiple tables.
"XSU can only store data in a single table. You can store XML across tables, however, by using the Oracle XSLT processor to transform a document into multiple documents and inserting them separately. You can also define views over multiple tables and perform insertions into the views. If a view is non-updatable (because of complex joins), then you can use INSTEAD OF triggers over the views to perform the inserts."

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.

Read data from xml files and populate internal table

Hi.
How to read data from xml files into internal tables?
Can u tell me the classes and methods to read xml data..
Can u explain it with a sample program...

<pre>DATA itab_accontextdir TYPE TABLE OF ACCONTEXTDIR.
DATA struct_accontextdir LIKE LINE OF itab_accontextdir.
DATA l_o_error TYPE REF TO cx_root.
DATA: filename type string ,
 xmldata type xstring .
DATA: mr TYPE REF TO if_mr_api.
mr = cl_mime_repository_api=>get_api( ).
mr->get( EXPORTING i_url = 'SAP/PUBLIC/BC/xml_files_accontext/xml_accontextdir.xml'
 IMPORTING e_content = xmldata ).
WRITE xmldata.
TRY.
CALL TRANSFORMATION id
 SOURCE XML xmldata
 RESULT shiva = itab_accontextdir.
CATCH cx_root INTO l_o_error.
ENDTRY.
LOOP AT itab_accontextdir INTO struct_accontextdir.
 WRITE: / struct_accontextdir-context_id,
 struct_accontextdir-context_name,
 struct_accontextdir-context_type.
 NEW-LINE.
 ENDLOOP.</pre>
 
Description:
In the above code snippet I am storing the data in an xml file(you know xml is used to store and transport data ) called 'xml_accontextdir.xml' that is uploaded into the MIME repository at path 'SAP/PUBLIC/BC/xml_files_accontext/xml_accontextdir.xml'.
The below API is used to read a file in MIME repo and convert it into a string that is stored in ' xmldata'. (This is just a raw data that is got by appending the each line of xml file).
mr = cl_mime_repository_api=>get_api( ).
mr->get( EXPORTING i_url = 'SAP/PUBLIC/BC/xml_files_accontext/xml_accontextdir.xml'
 IMPORTING e_content = xmldata ).
 Once the 'xmldata' string is available we use the tranformation to parse the xml string that we have got from the above API and convert it into the internal table.
<pre>TRY.
CALL TRANSFORMATION id
 SOURCE XML xmldata
 RESULT shiva = itab_accontextdir.
CATCH cx_root INTO l_o_error.
ENDTRY.</pre>
Here the trasnsformation 'id ' is used to conververt the source xml 'xmldata' to resulting internal table itab_accontextdir, that have same structure as our xml file 'xml_accontextdir.xml'. In the RESULT root of the xml file has to be specified. (In my the root is 'shiva').
Things to be taken care:
One of the major problem that occurs when reading the xml file is 'format not compatible with the internal table' that you are reading into internal table. Iin order to get rid of this issue use one more tranformation to convert the data from the internal table into the xml file.
<pre>TRY.
 CALL TRANSFORMATION id
 SOURCE shiv = t_internal_tab
 RESULT XML xml.
 CATCH cx_root INTO l_o_error.
ENDTRY.
WRITE xml.
NEW-LINE.</pre>
 
This is the same transformation that we used above but the differnce is that the SOURCE and RESULT parameters are changed the source is now the internal table and result is *xml *string. Use xml browser that is available with the ABAP workbench to read the xml string displayed with proper indentation. In this way we get the format of xml file to be used that is compatable with the given internal table.
Thank you, Hope this will help you!!!

Help needed badly Insert text data from xml files into tables

Hi all, I have asked to do insertion of text from a xml file into tables upon receiving using pro*c. i've done quite an amount of research on xml parser in c but there wasn't much information for mi to use for implementation...
Guys don't mind helping me to clarify few doubts of mine...
1. Where can i get the oracle xml parser libs? Is it included when i installed oracle 8i?
2. Is there any tutorials or help files for xml parser libs where i can read up?
I need the xml parser to recognise the tags, followed by recognising the text after the tags.
eg. xml format
<studentID> 0012 </studentID>
<student> john </student>
<studentID> 0013 </studentID>
<student> mary </student>
text willl be inserted into tables like this:
studentID | student
0012 | john
0013 | mary
by the way i'm using oracle 8i on HP-UX. Thanks in advance.

I can answer one of of your questions at least
1. Where can i get the oracle xml parser libs? Is it included when i installed oracle 8i?You need the XML XDK. You can use http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/xml/xdkhome.html as your starting point. I believe the 9i version works for 8i.
I have no pro*c experience so I can't offer any other suggestions regarding how to do this in pro*c.

How to retrieve data from xml file into obiee reports

Hi all,
I've got a situation here. A xml file is stored as blob in oracle database table. Now i need to retrieve data/info from that xml file into obiee reports. How am i supposed to proceed with this ?

I will go for a table function:
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/database/oracle/table_function
In two words, you can create a function that behave as a table. Then you create a function to pick up your xml, you parse it and you send back the rows.
I know that Oracle has also a library for XML files but I never use it until now.
