Reading from XML File to Oracle

hello,
I am facing an issue.
I have an xml file which i want to read into an Oracle dB.
for ex
<user>
<user1 ident="1" />
<user2 ident="2" />
</user>
I would want to pick those attributes and insert them into the dB. i have been hunting high and low, but not reached anywhere.
The reason, i am using the xml file is, that the user enters values from 3 forms and those values are stored in the xml file. Now, i want to insert these values in the database.
Any help/suggestion are welcomed and appreciated.
Thank You
Sean

Hi,
I have been able to read the xml file and convert them into textboxes. The problem, i am facing is, how to i relate each of those values which are generated in the form of textboxes into values required by the Stored Procedure.
has anyone come across this problem or is there a better approach.
please advice
thank you all

Reading an XML file stored in Oracle

Is it possible to read an xml file stored in Oracle via Oracle methods?

If by "read" you mean "read as text", then you can just select the document as a CLOB and return it.
If by "read" you mean "read and parse", then you can use the Oracle XML Parser for PL/SQL to parse the CLOB into a DOM structure.
My Building Oracle XML Applications book has lots of examples of doing this, but especially in chapter 5, "Processing XML with PL/SQL".

Depends upon the version of Oracle being used. Going from memory, I think it started with 10g that you had to CREATE DIRECTORY and then use that object in references to disk. It could have been 9i as I skipped that version. If you look at the documentation for whatever provided procedure you are calling it will tell you what it expects.
As the code runs on the server the DB resides on, the data file will need to be network accessible from there in order for your code to read the file.

Data Load from XML file to Oracle Table

Hi,
I am trying to load data from XML file to Oracle table using DBMS_XMLStore utility.I have performed the prerequisites like creating the directory from APPS user, grant read/write to directory, placing the data file on folder on apps tier, created a procedure ‘insertXML’ to load the data based on metalink note (Note ID: 396573.1 How to Insert XML by passing a file Instead of using Embedded XML). I am running the procedure thru below anonymous block to insert the data in the table.
Anonymous block
declare
begin
insertXML('XMLDIR', 'results.xml', 'employee_results');
end;
I am getting below error after running the anonymous block.
Error :     ORA-22288: file or LOB operation FILEOPEN failed”
Cause :   The operation attempted on the file or LOB failed.
Action:   See the next error message in the error stack for more detailed
           information. Also, verify that the file or LOB exists and that
           the necessary privileges are set for the specified operation. If
           the error still persists, report the error to the DBA.
I searched this error on metalink and found DOC ID 1556652.1 . I Ran the script provided in the document. PFA the script.
Also, attaching a document that list down the steps that I have followed.
Please check and let me know if I am missing something in the process. Please help to get this resolve.

Create XML file from Oracle DB

Hi,
I'm working in a task to create electronic billing for Mexico Rules, to do this; I need to create a XML source that will contain all the information requested from Oracle DB.
For this reason, I'm looking how to create this XML file from Oracle DB.
All this is for the new legislations rules in Mexico to use electronic billing.
Please, if you have any reference about this, let me know.
Thanks and regards.

you may want to check out commands like xmlforest and xmlelement
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/functions221.htm
copied from documentation
Purpose
XMLForest converts each of its argument parameters to XML, and then returns an XML fragment that is the concatenation of these converted arguments.
•If value_expr is a scalar expression, then you can omit the AS clause, and Oracle Database uses the column name as the element name.
•If value_expr is an object type or collection, then the AS clause is mandatory, and Oracle uses the specified c_alias as the enclosing tag. The c_alias can be up to 4000 characters.
•If value_expr is null, then no element is created for that value_expr.
Examples
The following example creates an Emp element for a subset of employees, with nested employee_id, last_name, and salary elements as the contents of Emp:
SELECT XMLELEMENT("Emp",
XMLFOREST(e.employee_id, e.last_name, e.salary))
"Emp Element"
FROM employees e WHERE employee_id = 204;
Emp Element
<Emp>
<EMPLOYEE_ID>204</EMPLOYEE_ID>
<LAST_NAME>Baer</LAST_NAME>
<SALARY>10000</SALARY>
</Emp>

because what you want is not the node value of CODE but the node value of the text nodes into it!
assuming only one text node into it, try this:
System.out.println("lTrans1.item(0).getNodeName : " + lTrans1.item(0).getFirstChild().getNodeValue());

Loading XML File in Oracle Tables through Concurrent Request

I am posting a working program which reads an XML File and loads in Oracle database table through Concurrent Request. Input parameter for this program is file name. I have added directory name ASPEN_DIR as /interface/inbound in ALL_DIRECTORIES table.
/* This is a sample program reading an input xml file and loads data in Oracle Database table
This program is executed through concurrent request and it has an input file name
it also creates a log for reading and inserting records from file and into a table

Take a look at Examples 4-8 and 4-9. Even thought this is 10g doc code should work on 9.2.4 or later
