ParseClob

When I try and use parseclob on a clob held within an object type I get
Error occurred while parsing: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
Any ideas how to cure this or what the table is that it is looking for

I had a similar problem, which seems to have been cured by reloading the parser. I think that deep within your db something is invalid.

XMLPARSER.parseCLOB Error

Hi all, i'm having a little trouble working with XML in pl SQL could somebody please help me? I'm the biggest noob
here is a sample of what i'm doing:
FUNCTION getXML(IdSP IN NUMBER) RETURN CLOB
is
p xmlparser.parser;
dadosAvaria dbms_xmlgen.ctxHandle;
result CLOB;
begin
dadosAvaria := dbms_xmlgen.newContext('SELECT
Id_Avaria,
num_posto,
ps,
CCO_1,
CCO_2,
Operacao,
Sub_Operacao,
AEL_A,
Servico,
def_distr,
sub_esp from r_avari1 where id_equipa = ' || IdSP);
DBMS_XMLGen.setRowTag(dadosAvaria, 'R_Acti_API_SP');
DBMS_XMLGen.SETROWSETTAG(dadosAvaria, 'ListagemAvarias');
result := DBMS_XMLgen.getXML(dadosAvaria);
p := xmlparser.newparser;
xmlparser.parseclob(p, result);
the error is what follows:
ORA-20103: Null input is not allowed
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLPARSER", line 33
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLPARSER", line 99
ORA-06512: at "PSINGLRP.PK_BD_SS_XML_SP", line 93 <---- This the line that has the PARSECLOB Statement
ORA-06512: at line 4
why does this happens, it should work right?
I'm using Oracle 9i does anybody knows where can i get more information? Pleasy it is very important and i can't seem to make a correct XML document from a query...
Thank You
Best Regards

Hi again, sorry about the absence.
if result is not null then
xmlparser.parseclob(parserXML, result);
doc := xmlparser.getdocument(parserXML);
xmlparser.freeparser(parserXML);
nl := xmldom.getElementsByTagName(doc, 'ListagemAvarias');
numeroOcorrencias := xmldom.getLength(nl);
end if;
I added this code to my procedure, it seams that he detects result is null. But in the end of my procedure i added a print clob statement wich is
xmlstr := dbms_lob.SUBSTR(result,32767);
loop
exit when xmlstr is null;
line := substr(xmlstr,1,instr(xmlstr,chr(10))-1);
dbms_output.put_line('| '||line);
xmlstr := substr(xmlstr,instr(xmlstr,chr(10))+1);
end loop;
The strangest thing is that it prints the value o result in the above statement, but it detects null on the xmlparser
:S

XMLPARSER.parseClob(v_parser, w2_data_clob); returns ORA-20100: Error

I have a script that calls an output file and reads it into a clob. this portion seems to work fine. I next try to do a XMLPARSER.parseClob(v_parser, w2_data_clob);, but I get the following error:
ORA-20100: Error occurred while parsing: Expected 'EOF'.
I am attaching script and output file data. Any and all help is greatly appreciated:

Well thats the problem - the parser is parsng the clob and is not finding valid XML. It will succeed with
<Version_Number> Version 1.1
</Version_Number>
because, although small its valid XML.
Im surprised that is the seeded XML from the HRMS team. Have you tried something like SQLDeveloper to look at the contents of the CLOB? Just to ensure your plsql is pulling all of the data out?
If everything else checks out, I would get an SR logged with Payroll (HRMS) - this is not a BIP issue per se but invalid XML from the HR dev team.

Limits to parseCLOB ????

!!! LIMITS TO PARSECLOB ??? !!!
This message is ment for the oracle team.
When using pl/sql i tried to parse (with xmlparser.parseCLOB) a xml that had the same structure as this example:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<TestThis>
<header>
<time>12:23:22</time>
</header>
<body>
<product>
<name>prod1</name>
</product>
<product>
<name>prod2</name>
</product>
<product>
<name>prod3</name>
</product>
</body>
</TestThis>
I don't really have a question, but want a verification. Is it true that parseCLOB can't handle multiple tags with the SAME NAME and SAME PARENT ?? Is this a known limitation to parseCLOB or a bug?
I need this information really bad. Whether I'm searching in the wrong direction or have stumbled upon a limitation, I must know if i'm wrong here or just discovered a bug before i can continue...
thanks...

The question can be ignored...
there is no limitation to parseCLOB concerning multiple tags with the same name...
i made an error that was pretty hard to trace...
so don't bother replying...
sorry
bye

How can I take the part that parses the .XML file and make it a procedure.

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY XMLSTUD6 AS
Author: Jimmy Harris
Created: 5/25/2006
Purpose: 1.This package has an XML file initialized to a variable called DOC .
          2.It will then take the values from the XML file and insert them into a PL/SQL table.
          3.From the PL/SQL table it will insert values into the STUDENTS table.
          4.After step four above, the STUDLOAD procedure will insert (Sequence,Status, .XML file, USER, SYSDATE, ERROR_Message
                         into the AUDIT_XMLSTUD table regardless if insert status was successfull or not status is indicated by either an Y or
          NO and the original XML filed that was currently processed, the date and user who executed the procedure.
          If the status was NO then it will insert the Oracle SQLERRM massage, into the REASON_FOR_ERROR column.
                         If status is Y then REASOK_FOR_ERROR IS NULL.
                         5,Make sure you embed the xml file with an inner and outer ' ' ie: ' the whole .xml file string ' as the input
                         parameter into the STUDLOAD procedure.
This package excepts the whole .XML file as a CLOB as an input parameter, so that the end-user will not have
                              modify the code.
Modification History:     1.6/09/2006 JImmy Harris Modified code, added the Function "WORD_CONVERTER1" to accept the requested text data and
return a coded value back to our Welligent system.
                              2. Was advised that a front end type of functionality was not neccesary for this issue so I removed the INSERT_XML_FILE,
                              UPDATE_XML_FILE and the INSERT_XML_file.

Try opening the problem files using a text editor or file viewer to see what the first few bytes contain. All valid FM binary files for FM 11 will contain <MakerFile 11.0> in the first bytes of the file.
When updating books, it's sometimes better to just to create a new book file and add the files to that.
When renaming files in a book, changes at the system level will break any links/cross-references between files, so it's always best to use the Rename option in the Book file to change FM file names. This will maintain the correct linkages.

How to retrieveText Node value

I am generating an xml doc containing two set of data (one from ord table corresponding to orderId passed to the stored proc from calling app) and then appending child nodes for the values coming as In parameter. When I try to get the value of text node of the child element which has been appended through code, I am getting no values (I could only get to the first child value by (<xsl:value-of select="/EQUITYCONNECT//text()"/>). If I have to get the values of ORD_ID,EXECSIDE and SECURITY node in /EQUITYCONNECT/EXECRPT, how will the XPATH expression coded. (<xsl:value-of select="/EQUITYCONNECT/EXECRPT/EXECSIDE/text()"/> returns null value.

function xml_transform is taking the xml and xsl file as string and returning me xml as string after processing. Basiccally I have to do some comparison on the value of /EQUITYCONNECT/ORDER elements and /EQUITYCONNECT/EXECRPT element.
Any help will be appreciated.

Here you go:

        nameNode.setTextContent("bob");

Memory leak using xslprocessor.valueof in 11.1.0.6.0 - 64bit ??

My company has made the decision to do all of our internal inter-system communication using XML. Often we may need to transfer thousands of records from one system to another and due to this (and the 32K limit in prior versions) we're implementing it in 11g. Currently we have Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.6.0 on 64 bit Linux.
This is a completely network/memory setup - the XML data comes in using UTL_HTTP and is stored in a CLOB in memory and then converted to a DOMDocument variable and finally the relevant data is extracted using xslprocessor.valueof calls.
While this is working fine for smaller datasets, I've discovered that repeated calls with very large documents cause the xslprocessor to run out of memory with the following message:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 21256 bytes
(qmxdContextEnc,)
ORA-06512: at "XDB.DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR", line 1010
ORA-06512: at "XDB.DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR", line 1036
ORA-06512: at "XDB.DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR", line 1044
ORA-06512: at "SCOTT.UTL_INTERFACE_PKG", line 206
ORA-06512: at line 28
Elapsed: 00:03:32.45
SQL>
From further testing, it appears that the failure occurs after approximately 161,500 calls to xslprocessor.valueof however I'm sure this is dependent on the amount of server memory available (6 GB in my case).
I expect that we will try and log a TAR on this, but my DBA is on vacation right now. Has anyone else tried calling the xslprocessor 200,000 times in a single session?
I've tried to make my test code as simple as possible in order to track down the problem. This first block simply iterates through all of our offices asking for all of the employees at that office (there are 140 offices in the table).
DECLARE
CURSOR c_offices IS
SELECT office_id
FROM offices
ORDER BY office_id;
r_offices C_OFFICES%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
OPEN c_offices;
LOOP
FETCH c_offices INTO r_offices;
EXIT WHEN c_offices%NOTFOUND;
utl_interface_pkg.get_employees(r_offices.office_id);
END LOOP;
CLOSE c_offices;
END;
Normally I'd be returning a collection of result data from this procedure, however I'm trying to make things as simple as possible and make sure I'm not causing the memory leak myself.
Below is what makes the SOAP calls (using the widely circulated UTL_SOAP_API) to get our data and then extracts the relevant parts. Each office (call) should return between 200 and 1200 employee records.

All of this works just fine for smaller result sets, or fewer iterations (only the first two or three offices). Even up to the point of failure the data is being extracted correctly - it just eventually runs out of memory. Is there any way to free up the xslprocessor? I've even tried issuing DBMS_SESSION.FREE_UNUSED_USER_MEMORY but it makes no difference.

Replying to both of you -
Line 206 is the first call to xslprocessor.valueof:
LINE TEXT
206 l_emp_id := dbms_xslprocessor.valueOf(l_node, 'EMPLOYEEID');
This is one function inside of a larger package (the UTL_INTERFACE_PKG). The package is just a grouping of these functions - one for each type of SOAP interface we're using. None of the others exhibited this problem, but then none of them return anywhere near this much data either.
Here is the contents of V$TEMPORARY_LOBS immediately after the crash:
SID CACHE_LOBS NOCACHE_LOBS ABSTRACT_LOBS
132 0 0 0
148 19 1 0
SID 132 is a SYS session and SID 148 is mine.
I've discovered with further testing that if I comment out all of the xslprocessor.valueof calls except for the first one the code will complete successfully. It executes the valueof call 99,463 times. If I then uncomment one of those additional calls, we double the number of executions to a theoretical 198,926 (which is greater than the 161,500 point where it usually crashes) and it runs out of memory again.

To Get the value of a node in a XML file which is outside the envelope

Hi Everyone,
I am uploading data in a XML file into Oracle tables. I am using oracle 9i release 2. How to get a value of a node outside the envelope.
Here is my xml file.
<Response>
<TaskNo>14</TaskNor>

This is the response xml we are getting from the supplier. I do want to store all the values in an oracle table, including TaskNo(14). TaskNo is the main value
here. I am using dbms_xmlparser and dbms_xmldom in PL/SQL. I am able to get the values inside the envelope, but not the outside(taskno). It is not showing any errors. It is processing all
other values. I Posted this in the XML DB section also. Please help me to solve this issue. Any help,tips and suggesstion will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Creating a PL/SQL table based on XML file.

I have created two procedures to try and achieve the problem at hand.
It retrieves and displays the record from a DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE prospective as indicated in (1&2), but I am having difficulty loading these values into a PL/SQL table from the package labeled as (3).
All code compiles. (1&2) work together, (3) works by itself but will not populate the table, and I get no errors.
1.The first being the one that retrieves the XML file and parses it.
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure xml_main is
P XMLPARSER.Parser;

Hi
I have created a PLSQL package based Oracle Portal
form. This is created a s a databse provider. I have
following questions to check :
1. How to capture return values from the package and
display different messages on success or failure ?
- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/portal.1014/b14135/pdg_portletbuilder.htm#BABBAFGI
Step 16
2. How to return to blank form by intializing already
entered values after successfuly process of the form
data.
- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/portal.1014/b14135/pdg_portletbuilder.htm#BABGBCHH
thanks

Problem retrieving Data from a CDATA-Section using XMLDOM

Hello,
Ware: Oracle 8.1.7.4 64bit, XDK for PL/SQL Version 9.2.0.3, Solaris8 64bit
I can't retrieve Data from the CDATA-Section of an XML-String, neither with
getData(DOMCharacterData) or substringData. Also getLength fails. I get always
the following error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.lang.ClassCastException
ORA-06512: at "XML_SCHEMA.XMLCHARDATACOVER", line 0
ORA-06512: at "XML_SCHEMA.XMLDOM", line 853
ORA-06512: at "SCHWABE.XML_TEST", line 47
ORA-06512: at line 1
I can successfully cast the DOMNode to a CharacterData with makeCharacterData
and check with isNull (DOMCharacterData) (returns FALSE).
My Testcase:
1) A Function which build a XML-Document:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION XML_ResponseCalc RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
doc VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
doc :=
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

2) The Procedure which parses the XML-Document (no Exception-Handling):
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE XML_TEST IS

BEGIN

DBMS_LOB.CREATETEMPORARY(TheDocument, TRUE);
DBMS_LOB.WRITEAPPEND(TheDocument, LENGTH(XML_ResponseCalc), XML_ResponseCalc);
-- Parse
Parser := XML_SCHEMA.XMLParser.NewParser;
XML_SCHEMA.XMLParser.ParseCLOB(Parser, TheDocument);
DOMDocument := XML_SCHEMA.XMLParser.GetDocument(Parser);
XML_SCHEMA.XMLParser.FreeParser(Parser);
-- Node
DOMNode := XML_SCHEMA.XMLDOM.MakeNode(DOMDocument);
-- Get ID
DOMNodeList := XML_SCHEMA.XSLProcessor.SelectNodes
(DOMNode,'/RSDecEng/ResponseCalc/ID/text()');
IF XML_SCHEMA.XMLDOM.GetLength(DOMNodeList) > 0 THEN
DOMNodeItem := XML_SCHEMA.XMLDOM.Item(DOMNodeList, 0);
XML_SCHEMA.XMLDOM.WriteToBuffer(DOMNodeItem, ID);
SYS.DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('ID: '||ID);
END IF;
-- Get CDATA
DOMCharacterData := XML_SCHEMA.XMLDOM.MakeCharacterData(DomNode); -- <-- ok here...
IF NOT XML_SCHEMA.XMLDOM.isNull (DOMCharacterData) THEN -- <-- ...and here
Data := XML_SCHEMA.XMLDOM.GETDATA(DOMCharacterData); -- <-- ...but here Exception raise
END IF;
END;
I hope you can help me.
Thank you in advance
Markus Schwabe

You need to notice the definitions for makecharacterdata:
FUNCTION makeCharacterData(n DOMNode) RETURN DOMCharacterData;
PURPOSE
Casts given DOMNode to a DOMCharacterData
It only do the casting.

Script for parsing xml data and inserting in DB

Thank you for reading.
I have the following example XML in an XML file. I need to write a script that can insert this data into an Oracle table. The table does not have primary keys. The data just needs to be inserted.
I do not have xsd file in this scenario. Please suggest how to modify Method 1 https://community.oracle.com/thread/1115266?tstart=0 mentioned so that I can call the XML mentioned below and insert into a table

Loading datafrom a PL/SQL table into the Database table

I have created two procedures to try and achieve the problem at hand.
It retrieves and displays the record from a DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE prospective as indicated in (1&2), but I am having difficulty loading these values into a PL/SQL table from the package labeled as (3). I read your book and all but I do not see a solution to my problem
All code compiles. (1&2) work together, (3) works by itself but will not populate the table, and I get no errors.
1.The first being the one that retrieves the XML file and parses it.
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure xml_main is
P XMLPARSER.Parser;

v_xmldoc xmldom.DOMDocument;
v_out CLOB;

Hey , after got a lot of success with the xml reading part , i wonder if you
can help me with a problem while trying to reading that xml from a web service.
i use a procedure as followes:
FUNCTION read_from_web_service(in_username in varchar2 , in_password in varchar2)
RETURN CHAR
AS
l_service          UTL_DBWS.service;
l_call             UTL_DBWS.call;
l_a_ns                     VARCHAR2(32767);
l_wsdl_url         VARCHAR2(32767);

l_operation_qname UTL_DBWS.qname;
l_xmltype_in       SYS.XMLTYPE;
l_xmltype_out      SYS.XMLTYPE;
l_return           VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
l_wsdl_url        := 'http://www.company.com/publisherService/ServiceGetpublisherTable.asmx?wsdl';
l_namespace       := 'http://tempuri.org/';
l_service_qname   := UTL_DBWS.to_qname(l_namespace, 'ServiceGetpublisherTable');
l_port_qname      := UTL_DBWS.to_qname(l_namespace, 'ServiceGetpublisherTableSoap');
l_operation_qname := UTL_DBWS.to_qname(l_namespace, 'GetFieldsName');
l_service := UTL_DBWS.create_service (
    wsdl_document_location => URIFACTORY.getURI(l_wsdl_url),
    service_name           => l_service_qname);
l_call := UTL_DBWS.create_call (
    service_handle => l_service,
    port_name      => l_port_qname,
    operation_name => l_operation_qname);
l_xmltype_in := SYS.XMLTYPE('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <GetFieldsName xmlns="' || l_namespace || '">
    <user>' || in_username || '</user>
    <password>'|| in_password || '</password>
    </GetFieldsName>');
l_xmltype_out := UTL_DBWS.invoke(call_Handle => l_call,
                                   request     => l_xmltype_in);
UTL_DBWS.release_call (call_handle => l_call);
UTL_DBWS.release_service (service_handle => l_service);
l_return := l_xmltype_out.extract('//GetFieldsName/text()').getstringVal();
   dbms_output.put_line(l_return);
RETURN l_return;
END;but when i run it i got message:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: javax.xml.rpc.soap.SOAPFaultException: Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction: .
regarding the line:
l_xmltype_out := UTL_DBWS.invoke(call_Handle => l_call,
request => l_xmltype_in);
So , i deeply stuck here!
my web service description is:

</wsdl:definitions>also i have to mention that i have changed publisher references inside the code , and i also canot
supply username and password , so i guess you canot test it. still i not shure if my definitions (namespace est.) inside my code defined correctly.
hope you can help me with this.

Problem in XML Parsing via oracle procedure...

Hi,
I wrote one oracle procedure for xml parsing.
I have one valid xml file which has "encode UTF-8". The XML file contains some comments also. While we are parsing the xml file at that time it is not parse successfully and also it is not giving any error. After the following line it is skip rest of the codes(lines).
dbms_xmlparser.parseclob(l_parser, l_clob);
At the end of the xml file there are some comments which is like " ".
When I am changing the "encode UTF-8 to ISO-88596-1" & removing the comments which wrote on bottom of the file then its working fine, but the files which we are getting from the system is contains the encode UTF-8 and we don't want to preprocess on that xml files. Even if we will do that via shell script or perl script then it will be overhead to the system and in a single stroke our system will parse more than 5k xml files, so if we will do some preprocess on it, it will take some more time approx 1-2 minutes extra.
So, If someone knows any solution of this problem, then please guide & help me on this.
My xml file structure is as follows:-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mcd xmlns:HTML="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml">
     <child>
          <child1>32.401 V5.5</child1>
          <child2>ZoneGate</child2>
     </child>
     <mc>
          <newid>
               <id>12</id>
          </newid>
          <mindex>

Parse a xml file from clob column.

Dear,
i have been suffreing a problem about xml.
i have a table with two columns, one is bfile data type other is clob data type. A xml data is stored into both cloumns
as clob and bfile. My xml data format is correct.
when i took xml data from bfile column, then dbms_xmlparser.parseClob successfully parse my xml data.
Code below:
=======================================
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_clob, cache=>FALSE);
dbms_lob.loadFromFile(dest_lob => l_clob,
src_lob => l_bfile,
amount => dbms_lob.getLength(l_bfile));
l_parser := dbms_xmlparser.newParser;
dbms_xmlparser.parseClob(l_parser, l_clob); ========================================
But when i took xml data form clob clumn directly, then dbms_xmlparser.parseClob parse failed and go to exception.
Code below:
====================================================================
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_clob, cache=>FALSE);
select xml_cfile,xml_bfile
into l_clob ,l_bfile
from xml_load_in
l_parser := dbms_xmlparser.newParser;
dbms_xmlparser.parseClob(l_parser, l_clob); --failed parse
====================================================================
declare
l_bfile BFILE;
l_clob CLOB;
l_parser dbms_xmlparser.Parser;
l_doc dbms_xmldom.DOMDocument;
begin
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_clob, cache=>FALSE);
select xml_cfile,xml_bfile
into l_clob ,l_bfile
from xml_load_in
l_parser := dbms_xmlparser.newParser;
dbms_xmlparser.parseClob(l_parser, l_clob);
l_doc := dbms_xmlparser.getDocument(l_parser);
dbms_lob.freetemporary(l_clob);
dbms_xmlparser.freeParser(l_parser);
exception
dbms_lob.freetemporary(l_clob);
dbms_xmlparser.freeParser(l_parser);
dbms_xmldom.freeDocument(l_doc);
End;
Example:
