Reading XML Files from oracle 9i or in Oracle 10g

Hi all,
Can any body suggest how to write a stored procedure to read XML file content and insert into a table.
Thanking you in Advance

I know I am blasphemous, but ....
We had a similar requirement: one file, each line was a "simple" xml doc corresponding to one db table record. The keyword here is "simple". We looked at the xml stuff, but decided that the easiest, best runtime performance, most extensible, easiest to maintain was:
use (sed|awk|perl) to convert xml to a flat file of fields, and then load the file with SQL*Loader. After all, loading flat files with many records is a job for SQL*Loader.
caveat: the xml in question was very simple and the same for all records:
timestamp|<log><id>1</id><ns>ns1</ns><prod/><cmd>order</cmd><result>ok</result><time>1813></time></log>

XML SCHEMA registration for XML TYPE (storing XML files in Oracle 10g)

I have created the XML Schema for the XML file stored in Oracle 10g and also added this Schema into the database. I have related that schema with the column in the table which contains the XML file. When i execute the query to fetch the data from the stored file i am getting a blank resultset. Is registering the XML Schema is necessary, if yes then please let me know the process of doing it. I have tried following steps to register Schema, but it is not working
Step1:
DECLARE
v_return BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
v_return := dbms_xdb.createFolder('/home/');
v_return := dbms_xdb.createFolder('/home/DEV/');
v_return := dbms_xdb.createFolder('/home/DEV/xsd/');
v_return := dbms_xdb.createFolder('/home/DEV/messages/');
v_return := dbms_xdb.createFolder('/home/DEV/employees/');
COMMIT;
END;
STEP 2:
Connecting To XML DB
Step3:
Register XML schema
I am failing to execute step number 2 and hence not able to register the schema also.

Loading XML File into Oracle 10G XE

I am trying to load an XML file into 10G XE from the Utilities interface, I have created a Table to load into but when I try to load I get the following cryptic error "XML Load Error". There is no other information, can someone give me some insight where to start to resolve this problem?

The error messages when importing fails provided by APEX 2.1 are not very useful as they do not provide any clue...
If possible, you can try to load XML file with SQL*Loader - probably you will get then more useful error messages.

Issue with Date Conversion when loading XML File into Oracle 10g Database

Hello all,
I have the interface shown in the screenshot below. In it, amongst other actions, I'm mapping an XML file element representing a date to an Oracle table column defined as DATE. The source and target columns are highlighted in the screenshot.
!http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/1565/odiscr275.jpg!
When I execute the interface, I get the following error message:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException at java.sql.Date.valueOf(Date.java:103)
I'm assuming this refers to the date conversion!
I've already tried replacing SRC_TRADES.DEAL_DATE with TO_DATE( SRC_TRADES.DEAL_DATE, 'DD/MM/YYYY' ) in the Implementation tab. This function was not recognised when I executed the interface, so it didn't work! The date value in the XML file is in DD/MM/YYYY format.
I'm guessing that Oracle SQL Date functions don't work in the Implementation tab. Please could somebody let me know:
1. Which Date Conversion function I could use instead?
2. Where I can find a reference for the methods/functions I can use in the Implementation tab (if such a reference exists)?
Cheers.
James

Hi.
Try to change the execution area to staging area. After You change it, write in the mapping box just SRC_TRADERS.DEAL_DATE. When You use TO_DATE, the source field typu should be varchar2, not date (as it is in your source datastore)

Load XML file to Oracle 10G XE

The load xml wizard in Oracle XE asks for a table in the HR schema to load into.
Well I create one using the 'Create Table' procedure with a script that runs and creates the table. Now I have a XML file that matches the table I created and try to load the file contents into the table. I get an error. Am I surprised? no, I am not. Nothing works the first time.
Is there a preferred format for the xml file that supports loading into a table?
There appears to be no help file, but then I may be mistaken.
Could someone show me where to find this help file?

The bug you are referencing occurs when an Enumerated Value also has min and max lengths specified..
Eg something like
<xsd:simpleType name="EnumType">
     <xsd:annotation>
         <xsd:documentation>ENUM_TYPE</xsd:documentation>
     </xsd:annotation>
     <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
         <xsd:enumeration value="AA"/>
         <xsd:enumeration value="AB"/>
         <xsd:enumeration value="AE"/>
         <xsd:enumeration value="AK"/>
         <xsd:enumeration value="AL"/>
     </xsd:restriction>
   </xsd:simpleType>
   <xsd:complexType name="TYPE1">
     <xsd:sequence>
         <xsd:element name="TYPE11">
           <xsd:simpleType>
               <xsd:restriction base="EnumType">
                 <xsd:minLength value="1"/>
                 <xsd:maxLength value="10"/>
               </xsd:restriction>
           </xsd:simpleType>
         </xsd:element>
      </xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema> Do you have something like this in your XML Schema. If this is the case try removing the minLength, maxLength as they are redundant, which is probably why we didn't catch this one in internal testing, it sort of falls into the "if it hurts please don't do it" category :). Also the fix for this bug appears to have been backported on top of 9.2.0.6.0 so upgrading to 9.2.0.7.0 or 9.2.0.8.0 or the later releases of 10.1 or 10.2 should fix the problem.

Cannot read image file in oracle 10g forms, getting error frm-47100

I'm unable to read the image from the file location. But If I do re-save via MS-Paint the same image then I'm able to load successfully. I want to load image directly instead of re-save. Error getting like "frm-47100 Cannot read image file".
Need your co-operation to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Sindhu,
By default any operating system file extension starts after the dot. So in this case when it says 2 dots it will think there is something wrong.

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.

How to create xml file from Oracle and sending the same xml file to an url

How to create xml file from Oracle and sending the same xml file to an url

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>
