Relational table to XML

We are currently in the technical definition of a project to extract data from multiple tables to create an XML document to pass to another application. I am not too certain of what the XML document will look like yet, or how big it will end up.
We have not used XML yet and will be upgrading to Oracle 9i in the very near future.
My question is does anybody have any views on what would be the best method to achieve this.
1) Use a complex cursor/select within PL/SQL and generate the XML using SQLX or
2) Store an empty XML document in an XMLType table/column and then populate the XML document from each table as required or
3) Copy the data from multiple tables to a new simple table and then use XMLForest or something similar to create XML or
4) Something other method ?

Deepak,
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately we will not be able to use Java to generate the XML as there too few people involved who have the Java knowledge, so we will have to PL/SQL to generate the XML.
Does your reply relate to option 1 or 3 ?

    How does XML DB transform a Schema into object-relationals tables?

  • Mapping with xml-schema XML-data to relational tables

    Hello,
    is it possible to map data from xml documents to relational tables with xml-schema?
    I mean not in nested tables but in relational tables with primary and foreign keys!
    With SQL Server 2005 it is very easy, I dont believe that Oracle couldn't do this!
    I searched but i cant find anything about that!
    Thx
    user445232

    indeed, oracle does this for xml schema based xmltype data, however, these underlying tables are not accessable to the application. Maybe It should for next version, so folks who like to use relational model can use it without mapping it manually.
    Actually, nested tables, are the same, their underlying tables (segments) are indeed relational tables, oracle manages them internally and not visiable to the application. You can find them in the user_segments, user_objects views though.

  • XML Data from Relational Tables

    Hi,
    My requirement is to pull data from relational tables into xml format and port it to the user (either as a file or allow the user to access it directly from their browser). What is the best way to accomplish this. Your suggestions are appreciated.
    thanks.

    Marco,
    Thanks for your reply, did try that , but I want the users to query this view also. Due to the nature of the xml structure I am getting the correct results. May be my xpath query is not right? My xml is as below:
    <node1 attribute-node1 = "somevalue1">
    <cnode1 attribute-cnode1 = "somevalue2">
    <cnode2 attribute-cnode2 = "somevalue3">
    <cnode3>somevalue4</cnode3>
    <cnode4>somevalue5</cnode4>
    </cnode2>
    <cnode2 attribute-cnode2 = "somevlaue6">
    <cnode3>somevalue6</cnode3>
    <cnode4>somevalue7</cnode4>
    </cnode2>
    </cnode1>
    </node1>
    and my requirement is like : the user wants to see only cnode2 with attribute value "somevalue3" (along with the rest of the xml) ie
    <node1 attribute-node1 = "somevalue1">
    <cnode1 attribute-cnode1 = "somevalue2">
    <cnode2 attribute-cnode2 = "somevalue3">
    <cnode3>somevalue4</cnode3>
    <cnode4>somevalue5</cnode4>
    </cnode2>
    </cnode1>
    </node1>
    Need the correct xpath query for this.
    Thanks

  • Retrieving data from a relational table and CLOB as a whole XML file

    I created the table lob_example and I have managed to insert XML document into it using XML SQL Utility. In this document I put contents of <DESCRIPTION> tag into CDATA section.
    LOB_EXAMPLE
    Name Null? Type
    ID NOT NULL NUMBER
    DESCRIPTION CLOB
    NAME VARCHAR2(40)
    But I could not retrieve this data properly. I can think of only one solution - to parse and build the whole XMLDocument. I found the suggestion of another solution to use Oracle8i views to do that in http://technet.oracle.com/tech/xml/infoocs/otnwp/about_oracle_xml_products.htm, but this text is not clear enough for me.
    I would like to quote the fragment from document mentioned above, which is ambiguous for me:
    "Combining XML Documents and Data Using Views
    Finally, if you have a combination of structured and unstructured XML data, but still want to view and operate on it as a whole, you can use Oracle8i views. Views enable you to construct an object on the "fly" by combining XML data stored in a variety of ways. So, you can store structured data (such as employee data, customer data, and so on) in one location within object -relational tables, and store related unstructured data (such as descriptions and comments) within a CLOB. When you need to retrieve the data as a whole, you simply construct the structure from the various pieces of data with the use of type constructors in the view's select statement. The XML SQL Utility then enables retrieving the constructed data from the view as a single XML document."
    The main question is - how to use type constructors in the view's select statement?

    Hello
    Sorry for asking the same question again, but any responses would be greatly appreciated.
    How to use type constructors in the view's select statement?
    I could not find any answers for this question on Technet. Maybe the other approaches are more efficient to combine the part of data from CLOB with data from other column types?
    Thank you

  • How to create XML from relational tables based on an XML Schema ?

    There is no automated way in Oracle XML DB to define an automatic mapping between a set of columns in some existing relational tables and the elements and attributres defined by an XML Schema.
    However it is easy solve this problem by using the SQL/XML operators (XMLAGG, XMLELEMENT, XMLFOREST, XMLATTRIBUTES, etc) to generate XML documents that are compliant with an XML Schema directly from a SQL statement.
    If the XML Schema is registered with Oracle XML DB and the appropraite Schema Location information is added into the generated document using XMLAttributes then it becomes very easy to ensure that the generated documents are valid.
    The following example show an easy way to do this by creating an XML View that contains the documents to be validated.

    There is no automated way in Oracle XML DB to define an automatic mapping between a set of columns in some existing relational tables and the elements and attributres defined by an XML Schema.
    However it is easy solve this problem by using the SQL/XML operators (XMLAGG, XMLELEMENT, XMLFOREST, XMLATTRIBUTES, etc) to generate XML documents that are compliant with an XML Schema directly from a SQL statement.
    If the XML Schema is registered with Oracle XML DB and the appropraite Schema Location information is added into the generated document using XMLAttributes then it becomes very easy to ensure that the generated documents are valid.
    The following example show an easy way to do this by creating an XML View that contains the documents to be validated.

  • Reading XML file from specific location&Storing xmldata into related tables

    I am new to xml.
    My requirement is,
    1) Get the xml file from specified location (C:\xmlfiles\ xmldata.xml)
    2)Convert xml data in clob data.
    3)store the data into related table.
    and vice-versa.
    What i did,
    a) I got the data from related tables and converted into xmlformat using SQLX
    b)converted this resultset into clob data and stored as xml file in specific location.
    It uses more then ten tables.
    All this help i got from AskTom site , thanks for that.
    Now i have to do vise-versa, i.e. i have to perform 1), 2), 3) steps........
    Please tell me proper steps to acheive it.
    Thanks in advance for giving your precious time to solve my issue.

    Have you read the"XMLDB FAQ" in this Forum?
    You could use stuff like:
    create or replace directory xmldir as C:\xmlfiles'
    declare
    xmldata xmltype;
    begin
    xmldata := xmltype(bfilename('XMLDIR','xmldata.xml'),nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8'));
      -- etc, etc your code --
      -- --> convert to clob by using for instance getclobval() function
      -- --> then insert the data in your relational table with CLOB column
      -- etc, etc your code --
    end;

  • How to create xml file from relational tables in 10gR2

    Hi,
    I am very new to XML and was wondering how to create an XML file from querying relational tables. Some child tables may contain multiple rows that need to be returned in certain instances. Other queries will just be single or multiple rows from one or more tables. I would like to use the latest feathers in 10gR2. Thanks for any help you can provide.
    Thanks,

  • XML DB to Relational table?

    Hi Everybody,
    We have a situation to map the elements/attributes of XML tables in XML DB (Oracle 9i) to target relational tables.
    We have XML schema as starting point. Do you have any white paper or documentation to help us do mapping ?
    I appreciate your help.

    You can start from here:

  • From XML in CLOB to relational table doubt

    versions 11.2.0.2.0 / 10.2.0.4.0
    It's a long time, no see since my last dealing with xml and no luck to have an attribute value returned into the relational table.
    It's *<IntrBkSttlmAmt Ccy="???">999999</IntrBkSttlmAmt>*
    For the rest the below works in both versions but used on an xml having a 10000 <CdtTrfTxInf> on 11g it took 9 seconds and was killed because no answer was produced after 30 minutes on 10g. A colleague using java loaded the relational table in 34 seconds on 10g and produced the relational table on 11g in just 5 seconds.
    The 10g version is surviving with no xmldb installed and there are rumors our thinking heads didn't succeed to deactivate it on 11g yet.
    Any suggestion concerning alternate ways to produce a relational table from an xmltype located in a clob column of a relational table are welcome
    (looking at CLOB in XML to Normal table Best approach? I thought too many xmltable would have to be used)

    Hi,
    It's a long time, no see since my last dealing with xml and no luck to have an attribute value returned into the relational table.When you use this :
    <Ccy>{$r/IntrBkSttlmAmt/@Ccy}</Ccy>That doesn't set the value of the Ccy element with the attribute value, but actually add the attribute Ccy to the element Ccy, which results in
    <Ccy Ccy="???"></Ccy>Knowing that, you have three options :
    1) Leaving the XQuery as it is and using this instead in the COLUMNS clause :
                             ccy             varchar2(50)    path '/rw/Ccy/@Ccy',2) Modifying the XQuery to get the atomic value out of the attribute (using the fn:data function) :
                              <Ccy>{fn:data($r/IntrBkSttlmAmt/@Ccy)}</Ccy>3) Simplifying the whole thing, something like :
    select v.instrid, v.endtoendid, v.txid, v.cd, v.ccy,
           replace(v.intrbksttlmamt,'.',',') as intrbksttlmamt, v.chrgbr, v.bic1, v.nm1, v.adrline11, v.adrline12, v.ctry1, v.iban1,
           v.bic2, v.bic3, v.nm2, v.adrline21, v.adrline22, v.ctry2, v.iban2, v.cdtrref, v.addtlrmtinf
      from the_data w,
           xmltable(xmlnamespaces(default 'urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pacs.008.001.01'),

  • Generate xml output file from relational table

    Hi All,
    I'd like to generate an XML file from a relational table but would like to persist the XSD in Oracle does anyone have a working example?
    Edited by: houchen on Jun 2, 2009 5:34 AM

    From the FAQ on the {forum:id=34} forum, {thread:id=416001}.
    If you are wanting to register the schemas in Oracle, you will find info on that as well in the FAQ.

  • Storing XML data in CLOB and relational tables

    I would like to ask whether there is a possibility to store XML data using normal relational tables and CLOBs in the same time. For example I have some XML data (structured data) which I would like update very often and some which are only a kind of description. I found something about it in http://technet.oracle.com/tech/xml/infoocs/otnwp/about_oracle_xml_products.htm . But I do not know how to use Oracle8i views and some functionality of XML SQL Utility to retrieve XML data in one file.

    Czesc Maciek,
    There are some good examples with XSQL Servlet. From what I understand you have one XML file and you need to save a portion of document in relational tables and other portion in CLOB.
    Yes, you can do that.
    You can do it many ways. I can suggest (2).
    1. Use the views
    2. call your java procedure that will do
    the xml processing, brake it down and insert
    releval frogments into different tables/columns

  • Approach to parse large number of XML files into the relational table.

    We are exploring the option of XML DB for processing a large number of files coming same day.
    The objective is to parse the XML file and store in multiple relational tables. Once in relational table we do not care about the XML file.
    The file can not be stored on the file server and need to be stored in a table before parsing due to security issues. A third party system will send the file and will store it in the XML DB.
    File size can be between 1MB to 50MB and high performance is very much expected other wise the solution will be tossed.
    Although we do not have XSD, the XML file is well structured. We are on 11g Release 2.
    Based on the reading this is what my approach.
    1. CREATE TABLE XML_DATA
    (xml_col XMLTYPE)
    XMLTYPE xml_col STORE AS SECUREFILE BINARY XML;
    2. Third party will store the data in XML_DATA table.
    3. Create XMLINDEX on the unique XML element
    4. Create views on XMLTYPE
    CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW V_XML_DATA(
       Stype,
       Mtype,
       MNAME,
       OIDT
    AS
       SELECT x."Stype",
              x."Mtype",
              x."Mname",
              x."OIDT"
       FROM   data_table t,
              XMLTABLE (
                 '/SectionMain'
                 PASSING t.data
                 COLUMNS Stype VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'Stype',
                         Mtype VARCHAR2 (3) PATH 'Mtype',
                         MNAME VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'MNAME',
                         OIDT VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'OID') x;
    5. Bulk load the parse data in the staging table based on the index column.
    Please comment on the above approach any suggestion that can improve the performance.

    I was not aware of Virtual column but looks like we can use it and avoid creating views by just inserting directly into
    the staging table using virtual column.
    Suppose OID id is the unique identifier of each XML FILE and I created virtual column
    CREATE TABLE po_Virtual OF XMLTYPE
    XMLTYPE STORE AS BINARY XML
    VIRTUAL COLUMNS
    (OID_1 AS (XMLCAST(XMLQUERY('/SectionMain/OID'
    PASSING OBJECT_VALUE RETURNING CONTENT)
    AS VARCHAR2(30))));
    1. My question is how then I will write this query by NOT USING COLMUN XML_COL
    SELECT x."SECTIONTYPE",
    x."MACHINETYPE",
    x."MACHINENAME",
    x."OIDT"
    FROM po_Virtual t,
    XMLTABLE (
    '/SectionMain'
    PASSING t.xml_col                          <--WHAT WILL PASSING HERE SINCE NO XML_COL
    COLUMNS SectionType VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'SectionType',
    MachineType VARCHAR2 (3) PATH 'MachineType',
    MachineName VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'MachineName',
    OIDT VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'OID') x;
    2. Insetead of creating the view then Can I do
    insert into STAGING_table_yyy ( col1 ,col2,col3,col4,
    SELECT x."SECTIONTYPE",
    x."MACHINETYPE",
    x."MACHINENAME",
    x."OIDT"
    FROM xml_data t,
    XMLTABLE (
    '/SectionMain'
    PASSING t.xml_col                         <--WHAT WILL PASSING HERE SINCE NO XML_COL
    COLUMNS SectionType VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'SectionType',
    MachineType VARCHAR2 (3) PATH 'MachineType',
    MachineName VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'MachineName',
    OIDT VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'OID') x
    where oid_1 = '99dd48cf-fd1b-46cf-9983';<--VIRTUAL COLUMN
    insert into STAGING_table_yyy ( col1 ,col2,col3
    SELECT x."SectionOID",
    x."EventName",
    x."OIDT"
    FROM xml_data t,
    XMLTABLE (
    '/SectionMain'
    PASSING t.xml_col                         <--WHAT WILL PASSING HERE SINCE NO XML_COL
    COLUMNS SectionOID PATH 'SectionOID',
    EventName VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'EventName',
    OID VARCHAR2 (30) PATH 'OID',
    ) x
    where oid_1 = '99dd48cf-fd1b-46cf-9983';<--VIRTUAL COLUMN
    Same insert for other tables usind the OID_1 virtual coulmn
    3. Finaly Once done how can I delete the XML document from XML.
    If I am using virtual column then I beleive it will be easy
    DELETE table po_Virtual where oid_1 = '99dd48cf-fd1b-46cf-9983';
    But in case we can not use the Virtual column how we can delete the data
    Thanks in advance
