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".

    This file I have stored in Oracle as table of XML Type.
    Now I have build a little Java Programm, that displays the XML File like the File structure in the Windows Explorer.
    I want, when I choose a file in the File structure, that the ID3 Informations like album artist a.s.o. can be displayed. My problem is, I couldn't get these informations e.g. in an array from the database. Any suggestions how I could realize this in Java?
    Thx for any comments
    Max

    Try this:
    select extract(xmltypefieldname, '//xpath/field@attribute').getStringVal() from yourtable where yourwhereclause
    You can also select elements that match certain attributes by using a predicate such as field[@attr = myval][@attr2 = myval2]...
    Hope this helps.

  • Link multiple  XML files  stored in oracle database

    Link multiple XML files
    Can any one give some code example regarding my issue:
    If I have for example file1.xml stored in one relational table and another file2.xml stored in another table ….etc
    And I want to put link and reference which will make me able to link these files and make query or insert…etc
    May be I need to use Xlink, Xpoiner or Xinclude . But if this is the solution to this problem please can you give a simple example that will help to understand the solution especially that I want to develop my project in oracle and I will register xml schema to insert the xml files in the database
    Thanks lots and I am waiting for your solution

    no answer for my question
    is this thread is a write place or I have to move my query to another part of the forum
    thanks

  • 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

    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.

  • Reading Large XML Files

    Hi All,
    I am trying to read an XML file which is around 6.4 GB which has around 1000 million records in it.
    I need to travel through all the elements and take out the values which matches my criteria.
    For Example the XML Looks like :
    <ss>

    </ss>I need to get the <s> node which has the <m> value is 00:11:22:33:44:55. It may have around 1024 occurences per file.
    I tried XPath, XQuery apis for java and nothing helped me in reading such a huge file.

  • Use XML files stored in directory of Application server as a input for XI ?

    I have a scenario that there is a xml file stored in sap application server for example /inf/ERQ/XML/XXX.xml which i want to use it as an input for XI. I know that there is an adapter in XI for getting xml file stored in normal path but in my situation it's in application server of SAP so i don't know how to do this.
    Any solution or example for this? Thank you in advance.
    Best regards

    Hi,
    We can read this file through FILE adapter with FTP protocol, before that i think need permission from basis for access.  Configure source(according to xml format) and target structure according to your requirement.  But one thing should remember in XI/PI sour/target XML formats should contain Message type name & namespace name else it can't work.

Properties is not a general purpose XML binding. you can't do what you're trying to do with it. read this and in particular pay attention to the following
    The XML document must have the following DOCTYPE declaration:
    <!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
    Furthermore, the document must satisfy the properties DTD described above.
    you are not reading my answers properly, are you? kindly do so

    end;As there is change in requirement now I need to read the multiple supplier sites at the header level. Current this is my structure please give an idea how to read the mulitple sites as one record, probably i can increase the supplier site columns at table level so as to capture second site level information.
    But if in case if i receive that time it should not fail please provide some good solution for this issue.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I mean only the first in the xml tags and leave the second xml. As there is not much significant for the second one.
    I appreciate your ideas on this, as the structure we are following is to rigid so I don't have much options to explore, please provide me your inputs in this context.

  • Reading A xml file and sending that XML Data as input  to a Service

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to read(I am using File adapter to read) a xml file and map the data in that xml to a service(schema) input variable.
    Example of  xml file that I have to read and the content of that xml file like below:
      <StudentList>
        <student>
           <Name> ravi</Name>
           <branch>EEE</branch>
          <fathername> raghu</fathername>
        </student>
      <student>
           <Name> raju</Name>
           <branch>ECE</branch>
          <fathername> ravi</fathername>
        </student>
    <StudentList>
    I have to pass the data(ravi,EEE,raghu etc) to a service input varible. That invoked Service input variable(schema) contains the schema similar to above schema.
    My flow is like below:
      ReadFile file adapter -------------------> BPEL process -----> Target Service.I am using transform activity in BPEL process to map the data from xml file to Service.
    I am using above xml file as sample in Native Data format(to create XSD schema file).
    After I built the process,I checked file adapter polls the data and receive the file(I am getting View xml document in EM console flow).
    But transform activity does not have anything and it is not mapping the data.I am getting blank data in the transform activity with only element names like below
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------EM console Audit trail (I am giving this because u can clearly understand what is happening-----------------------------------------------------
       -ReceiveFile
            -some datedetails      received file
              View XML document  (This xml contains data and structure like above  xml )
        - transformData:
            <payload>
              <InvokeService_inputvariable>
                  <part name="body">
                     <StudentList>
                         <student>
                           <name/>
                            <branch/>
                            <fathername/>
                         </student>
                   </StudentList>
              </part>
             </InvokeService_inputvariable>
    'Why I am getting like this".Is there any problem with native data format configuration.?
    Please help me out regarding this issue as I am running out my time.

    Hi syam,
    Thank you very much for your replies so far so that I have some progrees in my task.
    As you told I could have put default directory in composite.xml,but what happenes is the everyday new final subdirectory gets created  in the 'soafolder' folder.What I mean is in  the c:/soafolder/1234_xmlfiles folder, the '1234_xmlfiles' is not manually created one.It is created automatically by executing some jar.
    Basically we can't know the sub folder name until it is created by jar with its own logic. whereas main folder is same(soafolder) ever.
    I will give you example with our folder name so that it would be more convenient for us to understand.
    1) yesterday's  the folder structure :  'c:/soafolder/130731_LS' .The  '130731_LS' folder is created automatically by executing some jar file(it has its own logic to control and create the subdirectories which is not in our control).
    2) Today's folder structure :  'c:/soafolder/130804_LS. The folder is created automatically(everytime the number part(130731,130804).I think that number is indicating 2013 july 31 st like that.I have to enquire about this)is changing) at a particular time and xml files will be loaded in the folder.
    Our challenge : It is not that we can put the default or further path in composite.xml and poll the file adapter.Not everytime we have to change the path in composite.xml.The process should know the folder path (I don't know whether it is possible or not.) and  everyday and file adapter poll the files in that created subfolders.
    I hope you can understand my requirement .Please help me out in this regard.
