Parse XML in PL/SQL need help

Hi All,
I'm new to PL/SQL. I need to call a web service from within the PL/SQL and then need to parse the response XML. I was able to call the web service and now I have returned SOAP response XML in CLOB. I searched on google for way to parse this XML and create some kind of list or array or collection with all the values so that later on that collection or array can be used in displaying the data or storing the data, but I couldn't found the right information, rather I got very confused.
Please help me in parsing this XML and creating some kind collection or array for later use.
Thanks
XML is

Hi A_Non,
Thanks so much for giving me the hint about that "text()" in XPath.
I have new question for you with same XML I'm parsing right now.
I have extracted a part(Policies) of whole XML and put it in one XMLTYPE variable. Below is that part XML.
My question is I need to look only into that policy which is active right now. In the <policy> tag there are two attributes "effDate" and "endDate". "effDate" tag will always be there for every policy and for all inactive policies also "endDate" will be there always. Problem is with the active ones, "endDate" may or may not be there. If "endDate" is there so it will be greater than or equal to sysdate and if it is not there that means it is open ended. I need to fetch only that policy which is active right now and if there is no tag as such that means member is not active as of today.
If "endDate" attribute is there then I think below XPath will work, but I'm not sure about how to handle when "endDate" attribute is not there.
/d:policies/d:policy[@type="MEMBER" and number(translate(@effDate,"-",""))<=number(translate("'||l_currDate||'","-","")) and number(translate(@endDate,"-",""))>=number(translate("'||l_currDate||'","-",""))]I have Oracle 10.1.0.4, in this in XPath comparison operators are not working so I'm using XPath functions.
Here is the XML

Use dbms_xslprocessor.valueOf and dbms_xmldom.getnodevalue to get the value of node
eg: l_doc is paresed XML doc with nodes as partdetails and part
declare
l_n dbms_xmldom.DOMNode;
l_nl dbms_xmldom.DOMNodeList;
l_partname varchar2(100);
begin
---parsing code--
l_nl := dbms_xslprocessor.selectNodes(dbms_xmldom.makeNode(l_doc),'/PartDetails/Part');
FOR cur_emp IN 0 .. dbms_xmldom.getLength(l_nl) - 1 LOOP
l_n := dbms_xmldom.item(l_nl, cur_emp);
dbms_xslprocessor.valueOf(l_n,'Name/text()',l_partname);

Can't download an xml file to desktop - Need help

Hello, I need to save an xml file to my desktop. Each time I try, the xml file saves as a Final Cut Pro icon. When I try to open or upload the xml file - Final Cut automatically opens (which I don't want) and it is unable to show/translate the xml. How can I get my imac to download and upload xml properly?
I need to do this so that I can use the bulk mail "Dazzle" function on Endicia for online postage. Help please and thanks so much.

Okay, for Endicia to open the xml file it has to be in a format such as my_file.xml but when I try to put it onto my desktop, the .xml file defaults to a Text Edit file for example my_file.xml.txt
Just highlight the file, hit the "return" key, and you can edit the file's name. Just highlight ".txt" and delete it. You'll should get a prompt asking you if you really want to change the extension to "xml" from "txt". Just click on the "Use xml" button. That should change the extension.
You can also edit the extension in the "Get Info" inspector in the Finder. Just highlight your file and use the "command"-"i" key combo or choose "Get Info" from the Finder's File menu.
You shouldn't need Office to work with XML files. They're just text files. In fact, a great app for working with XML files is free: TextWrangler is really good for editing XML files...

ABAP to XML conversion...need help for XSTL coding

Hi,
I am trying to convert ABAP internal table to XML format. I am using CALL TRANSFORMATION command. But i am not getting the exact conversion of my internal table data as i am lagging in perfection of XSLT coding that i have to maintain(in call transformation command).
I am passing the data with internal table which has deep structuring( 2 other internal tables(table types) inside it).
i am facing issue in writing the XSLT format coding(Tcode:XSLT_TOOL). I need some help on this.
Thanks,
Mahidhar.

Hi,
Can you please share the XSLT program that you have created and also your ABAP structure that is going to hold the data.
Thanks,

Presumably you have a Java procedure that will call this procedure and display on the webpage. So you need to return the values to the Java. There are many ways to do this - you could have 1 OUT parameter for each column, or return a record, or a refcursor.
Ideally, you'll get a PL/SQL developer to handle that end, or go on a course yourself.

SQL: Need help putting single quote around string

I want to put single quotes around string in my output.
I am running the following command as a test:
select ' ' hello ' ' from dual;
My expectation is to get 'hello' (Single quote around hello)
However I am getting the following error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected
When I do SHOW ALL at my SQL command prompt, the escape is set as follows:
escape "\" (hex 5c)
I even tried: select '\'hello\'' from dual;
I get back: select ''hello'' from dual
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected

My expectation is to get 'hello' (Single quote around hello)You probably read that you can get a single-quote within a string literal by using two of them in a row.
That's true, but they really have to be in a row (no spaces in between), and you still need the single-quotes at the beiginning and end of the literal.
So what you want is
SELECT '''hello'''
FROM dual;Starting in Oracle 10, you can also use Q-notation, For example:
SELECT Q'['hello']'
FROM dual;

Hi,
The simplest thing, and perhaps the fastest, is to do a UNION, as Someoneelse suggested.
See [this thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=3430965#3430965] for an example.
Depending on your data, you could do an Outer Join of the two tables that are only in Query 2 to the other tables.
The WHERE clause would look something like this:
WHERE     SUBCON.MEME_CK = MECD.MEME_CK
AND        Right(MECD_MCTR_AIDC,2) not in ('31', '33')
AND        MECD_MCTR_AIDC Not in ('PC36','J36')
AND        SUBCON.MEME_CK = MEME.MEME_CK
AND        SBAD_PHONE " "
AND        SBAD_PHONE "0000000000"
AND        CHAR_LENGTH(RTRIM(SBAD_PHONE)) < 11
AND        (     DATEDIFF (mm, MEMBER_DOB, DATEADD(mm, 1,GETDATE())) < 25     -- Extra condition from Query 1
        OR (                                                                    -- Extra conditions from Query 2
                   SUBCON.PCP_ID_NUMBER   = PRPR.PRPR_ID
          AND   SUBCON.PCP_ID_NUMBER   = PRAD.PRAD_ID
          AND   PRAD.PRAD_TYPE          = 'PRI'_
          AND   (CONVERT(CHAR(10),GETDATE(),101)) BETWEEN PRAD.PRAD_EFF_DT
                                          AND      PRAD.PRAD_TERM_DT
          AND   MEME.SBSB_CK           = SBAD.SBSB_CK
          AND   SBAD_TYPE               = 1
        )Since all the tables in the Outer Join are referenced in the conditions from Query 2, this has the effect of making that an Inner Join unless the extra conditions from Query 1 were met.
iIn the SELECT claue, use a CASE expression for each column that occurs only in Query 2 that repeats all the extra conditions for Query 2:
,       CASE
          WHEN SUBCON.PCP_ID_NUMBER   = PRPR.PRPR_ID
          AND   SUBCON.PCP_ID_NUMBER   = PRAD.PRAD_ID
          AND   PRAD.PRAD_TYPE          = 'PRI'_
          AND   (CONVERT(CHAR(10),GETDATE(),101)) BETWEEN PRAD.PRAD_EFF_DT
                                          AND      PRAD.PRAD_TERM_DT
          AND   MEME.SBSB_CK           = SBAD.SBSB_CK
          AND   SBAD_TYPE               = 1
          THEN PRCF_MCTR_SPEC
       END     AS PRCF_MCTR_SPECThat column will be NULL if the extra conditions from Query 2 are not met.
Instead of computing all those extra conditions over and over again, you may want to compute them once for all in a sub-query:
SELECT ...
,       CASE
          WHEN SUBCON.PCP_ID_NUMBER   = PRPR.PRPR_ID
          AND   SUBCON.PCP_ID_NUMBER   = PRAD.PRAD_ID
          AND   PRAD.PRAD_TYPE          = 'PRI'_
          AND   (CONVERT(CHAR(10),GETDATE(),101)) BETWEEN PRAD.PRAD_EFF_DT
                                          AND      PRAD.PRAD_TERM_DT
          AND   MEME.SBSB_CK           = SBAD.SBSB_CK
          AND   SBAD_TYPE               = 1
          THEN 1
                                ELSE 0
       END     AS query_2_extraThen, in the main querry, you can use use that column:
WHERE     ...
AND        (     DATEDIFF (mm, MEMBER_DOB, DATEADD(mm, 1,GETDATE())) < 25     -- Extra condition from Query 1
        OR     query_2_extra = 1                                              -- Extra conditions from Query 2
        )

XML tools for Java (need help getting started)

Hi,
I have been using Java for some time. However, I am new to XML and the tools Java has available to utilize such data.
What packages, classes, etc are available to read and write XML data?
Thank you in advance. Happy holidays.
Cheers,
Christopher

I've been using a third-party library called JDOM for well over two years and I highly recommend it for your XML processing needs. It recently reached its first productions release and is available for download at http://www.jdom.org.

XML Huge database files, NEED HELP !!!

Hello to the community.
We need to store about ONE MILLION XML FILES inside the database.
BUT we need to use all functionality of XML Structure to look for
information inside these files (CONTAINS).
My question is:
What is the best way to store them:
like XML files inside CLOB ?
or fragment the files inside tables ?
Using ConText Option ?
Using CONTAINS functions ?
Is ConText Option supports CONTAINS function ?!?
We have many queries with text searching...
What is the best way to store this so we have best velocity to
acces to the info ?
Thanks to answer soon
MasterPh

Let me try and answer your question. First the CONTAINS
operator in Intermedia Text (formerly Context) will allow you to
search for data between tags of an XML document stored as a
CLOB. Whether you should distribute your XML documents across
tables is largely a function of how you want the data searched
retrieved. Currently the XML search function operates within a
column and thus if you want the entire doc back it would be best
to store it as a whole. Once iFS is released you will be able
to distribute the doc across tables and return it as a whole or
in parts.
Chack out http://www.oracle.com/database/options/ifs.htm and
http://www.oracle.com/database/options/intermedia.htm for more
details.

Concantenate SQL, need help

I have a Table where columns 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 need to be concatenated into a single column CUST_ADDRESS. I've already added the new column to the end of the Table.
column 8 is: ADDRESS
column 9 is: ADDRESS 2
column 10 is: CITY
column 11 is: STATE
column 12 is: ZIP-CODE
ADDRESS( )ADDRESS 2( )CITY(, )STATE( )ZIP
I've done some research already and I think I found something that will work. The only problem is that I only need the 5 columns to be concatenated, there is 23 columns total in the Table. Also (this is not a big deal), but not sure if it would be possible to also use a ", " between the CITY and STATE and the rest can use a SPACE in the concatenation.
Help would be appreciated, thanks!
def Delimiter=" "
SELECT
ID,
SUBSTR(MAX(REPLACE(
SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(STRVAL, '/')
,'/','&Delimiter')),2) Concatenated_String
FROM (
select A.*,
row_number() OVER (Partition by ID order by ID) ROW#
from TMP_TEST A)
START WITH ROW#=1
CONNECT BY PRIOR ID=ID AND PRIOR row# = row# -1
GROUP BY ID;

Hi,
How about:
UPDATE table_x
SET     cust_address = address
        || ' ' ||    address_2
        || ' ' ||     city
        || ',' ||     state
        || ' ' ||     zip_code;this will append the delimiters, even if some of the columns are NULL. For example, if only zip_code is actually present, cust_address will be something like ' , 27607' (starting with 2 spaces, a comma, and then another space).
If you don't like that, try the following variation, which will omit any delimiter if the item immediately after it is NULL:
UPDATE table_x
SET     cust_address = address
        || NVL2 (address_2,     ' ' || address_2,     NULL)
        || NVL2 (city,     ' ' || city,          NULL)
        || NVL2 (state,     ',' ||     state,          NULL)
        || NVL2 (zip_code),     ' ' ||     zip_code,     NULL);

Beginning PL/sql Need help

I have around 120 slightly different text files. I was hoping to be able to read
Specific data from each then design a re-useable process to import into an oracle table.
Can anybody advise me of the most appropriate method? If there is some example code
That can help me that would be magnificent. Thank you in advance.
