Query result to XML

Hi!
I need to do the following thing: after making a query in a database like:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE column = 'value'
Notice that the query always gets information from only one table.
I need to get the results of the query and put them in a text file, so that another application will receive the text file and update its own database using the information in the file. I think XML is a good format for doing that, so the file would be something like this:
<List>
<Object>
<column name>value</column name>
<another column name>value</another column name>
</Object>
</List>
Does anyone know an easy way to do something like that? The file format doen't need to be XML, I just want a format that will make it easy to get the information. The most important is that I get a generic code that works for any table, and that won't need to be changed if the database changes.
Thanks in advance!

Many databases have dump and restore utilities that are already written, and often at least as fast as anything you could write yourself. Many of them give you a great deal of control on the selection of what is to be dumped, and some of them output in a format that may be suitable (with a little massaging) for import into another database.
For example, for MySQL:

Output query result in XML format

folks:
could anybody provide more information
about how to generate query result in
xml format? looks like DBXML is for demo only
and i have heard that PLSQL XML parser is the way to go; so far i have not found
a sample yet on how to actually
do the XML generation; if you know more
about it, please let me know; thanks in
advance.

Ps query results to xml using xml link function registry

In People tools version 8.46 we need something like where the ps query result output is in the form of XML so that it can be used for external system. The catch I cannot use webservices. It is something like opening peoplesoft queires form excel using hyperlink but in this case we need xml. I looked at David Vandiver's Excel XML libraries which open the data in excel but is there something where the hyperlink output is xml using xml link function registry. I have capatured the data in rowset and now need to create mime type of xml to write the data
thanks in advance

If I understand correctly, you want to use something like Microsoft Excel's web queries to get data from a PeopleSoft query in XML format. I have never done this before, but if I were to implement this, here is what I would do in PT 8.46:
1. Create an unstructured message in app designer.
2. Create a user that only has access to the queries you want to expose to Excel
3. Write synchronous message handler PeopleCode to call SwitchUser to switch to a specific query user rather than the generic integration broker user and execute a query, returning the results in XML (see [Query.RunToRowsest|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13292_01/pt849pbr0/eng/psbooks/tpcr/htm/tpcr31.htm#d0e113933] for an example).
4. Call the message through IB using the HTTP GET URL format as defined in PeopleBooks: [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13292_01/pt849pbr0/eng/psbooks/tibr/book.htm?File=tibr/htm/tibr33.htm#H4026|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13292_01/pt849pbr0/eng/psbooks/tibr/book.htm?File=tibr/htm/tibr33.htm#H4026].

How to send SQL query results to XML ?

Hey Guys, I am querying a DB with huge amount of traffic. A user select a particular lot and then details of the lot will be displayed in the following page. My concern here is that it takes really LONG to retrieve back the results coz it has to requiry in the following JSP page.
I was told to use XML to retrieve the dataset and store it. Hence, in the following query it will re-query only from the recordsets in the XML file (...Logically, should be faster rite ? ). Hence, how do parse my recordsets retrieved from the SQL query to an XML file ?
Any sort of suggestion , help, reference would be deeply appreciated ..Thanks !

Returning query results in XML format

Besides using custom tag library, does anyone know any methods or techniques that i can retrive the query results from database in XML format. for example, i have a table named student in database like this:
StudentNo Name   Gender Degree
123       Tony    male    B.Comp.Sci.
456       Tom     male    B.Fiance
343       Mary    female B.Accountingso, if i have query select * from table student, i would get someting like the following:
<row>
<studentNo>123</studentNo>
<name>Tony</name>
<Gender>male</Gender>
<Degree>B.Comp.Sci</Degree>
</row>
<row>
<studentNo>456</studentNo>
<name>Tom</name>
<Gender>male</Gender>
<Degree>B.Finace</Degree>
</row>
The reason i am asking for this is i need query results returned in XML format, so i can wrap XSLT tag around, and apply for HTML, WML, and XHTML template resprectively so i can display them on different terminals. any help is appreciated.

I have this method in a ResultSetMapper class:
     * Return result sets as an XML stream, with root tag named
     * "results", one "result" tag per row, and "result" child tag
     * names equal to the column name
     * @param query result set
     * @param list of column names to include in the result map
     * @throws SQLException if the query fails
     * @throws JDOMException if the XML stream creation fails
    public static final Document toJDOM(ResultSet rs, List wantedColumnNames)
        throws SQLException, JDOMException
        Element rows         = new Element("results");
        int numWantedColumns = wantedColumnNames.size();
        while (rs.next())
            Element row = new Element("result");
            for (int i = 0; i < numWantedColumns; ++i)
                String columnName   = (String)wantedColumnNames.get(i);
                Object value = rs.getObject(columnName);
                row.addContent(new Element(columnName).setText(value.toString()));
            rows.addContent(row);
        return new Document(rows);
    }It uses JDOM from www.jdom.org. - MOD

Saving the query result in XML format

Hi All,
I have a requirement to save the result of a query in XML format on the application server. Can we do this?
Best Rgds,
James.

You can explore the possibility of the execution of query with XMLA:
Official documentation
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/1d71d190-0201-0010-239a-8b96516bf372
and a good Blog
/people/prakash.darji/blog/2006/09/04/work-with-xmla-web-service-for-bi-data-in-external-applications
The result will be an SOAP message (XML) but also the request could be a SOAP message you can investigate if simulate the request by BW client or server.

How to Parse JSP query results to XML Document ???

Why not take the result set and populate zero or more Java objects with data from each row in the result set? Then you can easily sort the data by putting the objects into a collection and using different Comparator objects for your sort. I'm just not sure why you want to use XML if the data isn't getting transfered between systems. In my experience XML is best used when you need a readable content for something (such as a properties file) or you want to share data between systems. I might be missing something, but I think you are better off storing your data in java and sorting it there.

Storing the SQL Query results as XML

Hi All,
I have a proc to select all the data from emp table and insert into another table. For some reason it inserts only one column and one record.
I don't have any row limit or skip ...
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure Convert_Data_Into_XML1
as
-- Var Declartion
qryCtx DBMS_XMLGEN.ctxHandle;
result CLOB;
BEGIN
qryCtx := dbms_xmlgen.newContext('SELECT * from emp');
-- set the row header to be EMPLOYEE
DBMS_XMLGEN.setRowTag(qryCtx, 'Employee-ROW');
DBMS_XMLGEN.setRowsetTag(qryCtx, 'Employee-rowset');
LOOP
-- now get the result
result := DBMS_XMLGEN.getXML(qryCtx);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('In the Loop');
EXIT WHEN DBMS_XMLGEN.getNumRowsProcessed(qryCtx) = 0;
INSERT INTO temp_clob_tab VALUES (result);
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
--close context
DBMS_XMLGEN.closeContext(qryCtx);
exception
when others then
dbms_output.put_line(TO_CHAR(sqlerrm));
END;
Basically I got this sample proc from Oracle website. As per the website I should be able to store all the records from emp table.
How can I debug this.
Here is the output from SQLPLUS>
SQL> select result from temp_clob_tab;
RESULT
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Employee-rowset>
<Employee-ROW>
<EMPNO>7369</EMPNO>
>>>>>>>>>>
Thanks in advance

I am able to convert the SQL query output and I am able to store it in a XMLTYPE column.
But the code doesn't work when I took the same code and try to Implement inside a Trigger. The reason I am doing this is, when there is an update or delete, I want to store the whole record as a XMLTYPE doc (before and After). But the code compiles fine, but when I tried to update a record it gives error.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER INS_UPDDEV_EMP3_F
BEFORE UPDATE OR DELETE ON EMP
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
V_DBUSER VARCHAR2(50);
V_CHANGETYPE VARCHAR2(20) := 'INSERT' ;
QRYCTX DBMS_XMLGEN.CTXHANDLE ;
OLDVALUE XMLTYPE;
NEWVALUE XMLTYPE;
BEGIN
IF :OLD.EMPNO <> :NEW.EMPNO or DELETING then
---------- old Value
QRYCTX := DBMS_XMLGEN.NEWCONTEXT ('SELECT :OLD.EMPNO, :OLD.ENAME, :OLD.JOB, :OLD.MGR, :OLD.HIREDATE, :OLD.SAL, :OLD.COMM, :OLD.DEPTNO FROM EMP WHERE EMPNO=:OLD.EMPNO ');
DBMS_XMLGEN.SETROWTAG (QRYCTX, 'DEPTROW');
DBMS_XMLGEN.SETROWSETTAG(QRYCTX, 'DEPTSET');
OLDVALUE := XMLTYPE(DBMS_XMLGEN.GETXML(QRYCTX));
------------------------- new Value
QRYCTX := DBMS_XMLGEN.NEWCONTEXT ('Select * WHERE EMPNO=:NEW.EMPNO '); -- WHERE :OLD.EMPNO
DBMS_XMLGEN.SETROWTAG (QRYCTX, 'DEPTROW');
DBMS_XMLGEN.SETROWSETTAG(QRYCTX, 'DEPTSET');
NEWVALUE := XMLTYPE(DBMS_XMLGEN.GETXML(QRYCTX));
V_CHANGETYPE := 'UPDATE' ;
INSERT INTO ADM_RECAUDITHISTORY VALUES ('table emp', 'fIELD all', OLDVALUE, OLDVALUE,
V_CHANGETYPE , SYSDATE, 'TIGER TRIG');
commit;
END IF;
END;
I am getting the following error while updating the record.

Use Query Results as XML?

Hey all, I searched the forums but didn't find anything that
quite fit this particular issue, I'm hoping someone can help me
out.
I am storing a string of text in a database field. It's an
XML string (not technically, but it's formatted to BE xml).
I am pulling this from the database in ColdFusion and trying
to use it as XML, but having no luck. I can get as far as pulling
it and dumping the data and I get this:
<root><Booleanval>on</Booleanval><SuperDooperSelector>1</SuperDooperSelector><ContentBody> words</ContentBody><ContentTitle>AWESOME</ContentTitle><DocumentName>Content
1</DocumentName></root>
It's a test so the values are a bit goofy but it appears as
it should nonetheless. I am wondering if there is a way I can parse
this into actual XML and access these attributes the same way I
normally would in ColdFusion. It won't let me use XMLParse(#myvar#)
because it is technically a query.
Does anyone know how I can use this data as XML in
ColdFusion?

How to convert the sql query result into xml ? PLease..Please..

I have a table Submission Record which contain a field with mix with text string and xml data type.
Table name: Submission Record
Field name: RCA
Jason
Tomato
<Record>AA</Record>
Fish
Brother
<Record>BB</Record>
<Record>CC</Record>
Tom is a girl
Its mixing with text and xml data.
I wish to convert all into xml data as per request from management.
my select statement is like below...but i think it may contain syntax error. Wish to get help from here.
sqltestagain = "select '<DATA>' || RCA || '</DATA>' from Submission Record".
Expect below will display
<DATA>Jason</DATA>
<DATA>Tomato</DATA>
<DATA><Record>AA</Record></DATA>
or any other solution for it ??
I've tried FOR XML....DBMS_XML......but none of it worked.....

also look at xmlelement

XML query results in HTML form parameter

Hi,
I would like insert records from a query result (raw XML) into HTML form tags, using the XSL stylesheet. Here is the code I am trying to use, but obviously it is not working.
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="te_hb_strdEntryId"
VALUE="<xsl:value-of select="ID"/>">
Are there any other options to put a result of a query in a hidden tag, using XSL?
Any help will be appriciated.

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="te_hb_strdEntryId"
VALUE="<xsl:value-of select="ID"/>">
The correct syntax would be:
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="xxx">
<xsl:attribute name="VALUE">
<xsl:value-of select="ID"/>
</xsl:attribute>
however, there is a shortcut syntax
when you are using XPath expressions
in literal attribute values:
XSLT attribute value templates. They are
XPath expressions inside curly braces.
So, you can achieve your desired result
with the shorter form:
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="xxx" VALUE="{ID}">
as well.

Xcelsius with XMLA or XML Query Result Set

Hi Experts,
I want a direct connection from Xcelsius to my BW-Data. Because the new connection, coming with Fix Pack 2.1 is only avaiable for EHP 1 for NW 7.0 I tried to configure with XMLA and XML Query Result Set.
This Document tells the necessary steps: How to integrate Xcelsius 2008 with SAP NetWeaver BI without Integration Kit.pdf.
When I test my XML connection over http://<host>:<port>/TXmla/srvlet/TestXmla my Cubes will display.
So I do a Webservice-Connection with WSDL-URL. At Input-Values there are some entries like CUBE_NAME, CATALOG_NAME...
Output values arent avalible. How do I use these elements to show my Data in Xcelsius?
My Problem with the XML Query Result Set Connection is, that when I Log On to VC the following error appears:
You are not authorized to view the requested resource.
So I get the authorisationobjects: S_DEVELOP and S_RS_COMP as describe in 'How To... Resolve Visual Composer Issues'.
What values have I to enter by S_RS_COMP? And how can I enter my External Service in S_SERVICE. At the type WS the service isnt't avaiable.
Regards,
Jan

To use XMLA web service you need a wrapper function build to convert the XMLA output to the Xcelsius format. There are some documents available in SDN on how to do this.
You can use Live Office or Query as a Web service option to connect from Xcelsius to BW.
S_RS_COMP is the query ID which you are trying to access, S_SERVICE you can either give * or try to set up authorization log and see the expected value.
