Oracel 10gR2 XMLDB -- how to query in Java

Question

I’ve some problems.
I’ve some search queries which are working on normal relation table, but I don’t know how it works on XMLDB (Oracle 10gR2)
Structure of XML file
My xml table structure will be :
Create table <tablename>
Person_Id number primary key,
Person_BankName varchar2,
DateOfEntry date,
Xmlcol xmltype
Xmlcol xmltype will be mapped to a schema for the below xml file.
XML File
<Person>
     <Information>
          <firstname>Suchendra</firstname>
          <lastname>Kumar</lastname>
          <middlename>Krishna</middlename>
     </Information>
     <Account>
          <accountno>12212</accountno>
          <balance>42323.89</balance>
          <opendate>12-03-2005</opendate>
     </Account>
     <Transaction>
          <transamount>1000</transamount>
          <balance>41323.89</balance>
          <trandate>14-03-2005</ trandate >
          <trantime>10:40:22</trantime>
     </ Transaction >
</Person>
SQL Queries Required
1.     Query to fetch the records whose transaction has been done from date 12-03-2001 to date 01-01-2005.
2.     Query to fetch the records whose lastname=”Kumar”
3.     Query to fetch the records whose transaction has been done from time 9:09:55 to time12:26:23.
4.     Query to fetch the records whose balance > 4000 and balance < 5000.
5.     Regular expression Search in XMLDB. Ex: searching for records whose firstname has ‘su*’ in it.

Athar,
You have been busy! You posted this same question to the SQL forum and the XMLDB forum. I see you got some answers regarding the XML part, so I will try to help you with the JDBC part. Have a look at this example:
