If I'm not mistaken OP wants each JobId in a separate row.
@OP :
In XMLTable, the main XQuery expression returns a sequence of nodes that will each represent a separate relational row in the final resultset.
If you need JobId in separate rows, then you have to tell the XQuery to return a sequence of JobId.
BTW, you don't have to use multiple intermediate tables either, just query from your base table :
SELECT x.JobId
FROM sox_xmltable t
   , XMLTable('/ArrayOfJobClass/JobClass/Tasks/TaskClass/JobId'
       passing t.object_value
       columns JobId varchar2(100) path '.'
     ) x

"ORA-19011: Character string buffer too small" doing select xmlelement???

Apparently there is a 4K limit on the amount of XML that can be produced doing a select with SQL/XML syntax, or so it appears. That is pretty disappointing. It makes this feature uselful only for demos. 256K would be a much more realistic limit for real-world applications.

Is there any work around for this when I was using XPath I was to able use xmlsequence and come around this. But when I am using xquery execution seems to be slow, I do not want to xmlsequence and further reduce the performance.

what can I do about it? how can I get the ascii stream of the xmldata(xmltype)?

Maybe a possibility would be to let the query return an XMLType instead of a CLOB or VARCHAR2 and then you can do the transformation on the server in Java instead of on the database. We tried something similar for a PL/SQL procedure:
public Document getXML() {
try {
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver").newInstance();
java.sql.Connection connecton =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:ORCL",
"scott", "tiger");
oracle.jdbc.OracleCallableStatement statement =
(oracle.jdbc.OracleCallableStatement)connecton.prepareCall("BEGIN \"WEBSERVICE\".TEST_XML(:1 ); END;");
statement.registerOutParameter(1, OracleTypes.OPAQUE,
"SYS.XMLTYPE");
statement.executeUpdate();
//Object out = statement.getObject(1);
XMLType xml = XMLType.createXML(statement.getOPAQUE(1));
statement.close();
System.out.println("out: " + xml);
return xml.getDOM();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
The WEBSERVICE.TEST_XML procedure returns data as an XMLType object.

Retrieve values from a HTML table !!!

Hi.
How can i retrieve values from a HTML table using javascript ?
I´m trying to use the command "document.getElementsByTagName" without success.
Thanks in advance.
Eduardo

Hi, Deepu.
I´m still with trouble in retrieving the value in HTML.
In debug the C_CELL_ID seems to be correctly updated but
when using the command "document.getElementById" the value is always "null".
I implemented in the method DATA_CELL the code :
if i_x = 3 and i_y = 2.
C_CELL_ID = 'zs'.
C_CELL_CONTENT = 10.
endif.
And in HTML :
var ztest = document.getElementById('zs');
alert(ztest);
Could you help me please.
Many regards

Retrieving values from Database in Excel Task Pane App

So far,
I created a website with a database on Azure, I then published my App to Azure. My problem is that I'm not sure how I retrieve values from the database (in SQL: SELECT * FROM EXAMPLE_TABLE WHERE date = str). If someone could provide me with sample code,
that would be amazing! :D
It would also be very helpful if anyone knew a method to automatically update the database using information from a xml stream on another website, once a day.
Thank you!

Hi,
>> My problem is that I'm not sure how I retrieve values from the database
You can use jquery ajax call to call your webserivce or REST API, which will query the database and return a json result.
Sample:
Apps for Office: Create a web service using the ASP.NET Web API
>> It would also be very helpful if anyone knew a method to automatically update the database using information from a xml stream on another website
For the database sync-up question, I suggest you posting them on the forums like SQL Server Forum.
Thanks for your understanding.

Retrieving values from a table

Hi all,
I need to retrieve values from CSKS-KOSTL for values containing the pattern entered by the user. For example, if the user enters 1, need to retrieve all the KOSTL values starting with 1. But when i write a SELECT statement mentioning where kostl in '1', it is ignoring all the values like (0000001, 00001034, 0012334, and others). Only values starting with 1 is only retrieved as this is a character field and due to conversion routine, zeroes are prefixed while storing in the database.
Could any one let me know how to retrieve the values from the database in this situation?

If you want to use IN operator in your where clause then you should define a range variable(R_KOSTL) which refers to CSKS=KOSTL and populate the range as below
R_KOSTL-SIGN = 'I'.
R_KOSTL-OPTION = 'CP'.
R_KOSTL-LOW = '1*'.
APPEND R_KOSTL.
and then write your select statement as .... WHERE kostl IN r_kostl.
The approach suggested by Amit should also work fine.
Thanks
Kiran

How to retrieve value from xml file

hi all,
can somebody pls tell me how to retrieve value from xml file using SAXParser.
I want to retrieve value of only one tag and have to perform some validation with that value.
it's urgent .
pls help me out
thnx in adv.
ritu

hi shanu,
the pbm is solved, now i m able to access XXX no. in action class & i m able to validate it. The only thing which i want to know is it ok to declare static ArrayList as i have done in this code. i mean will it affect the performance or functionality of the system.
pls have a look at the following code snippet.
public class XMLValidator {
static ArrayList strXXX = new ArrayList();
public void validate(){
factory.setValidating(true);
parser = factory.newSAXParser();
//all factory code is here only
parser.parse(xmlURI, new XMLErrorHandler());
public void setXXX(String pstrXXX){
strUpn.add(pstrXXX);
public ArrayList getXXX(){
return strXXX;
class XMLErrorHandler extends DefaultHandler {
String tagName = "";
String tagValue = "";
String applicationRefNo = "";
String XXXValue ="";
String XXXNo = "";
XMLValidator objXmlValidator = new XMLValidator();
public void startElement(String uri, String name, String qName, Attributes atts) {
tagName = qName;
public void characters(char ch[], int start, int length) {
if ("Reference".equals(tagName)) {
tagValue = new String(ch, start, length).trim();
if (tagValue.length() > 0) {
RefNo = new String(ch, start, length);
if ("XXX".equals(tagName)) {
XXXValue = new String(ch, start, length).trim();
if (XXXValue.length() > 0) {
XXXNo = new String(ch, start, length);
public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName) throws SAXException {
if(qName.equalsIgnoreCase("XXX")) {
objXmlValidator.setXXX(XXXNo);
thnx & Regards,

Need help in retrieving attributes from LDAP using JNDI

I am trying to retrieve attributes from LDAP using JNDI, but I'm getting the following error when I try to run my Java program.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/naming/NamingException
I have all the jar files in my classpath: j2ee.jar, fscontext.jar and providerutil.jar. The interesting thing is that it gets compiled just fine but gives an error at run-time.
Could anyone tell me why I'm getting this error? Thanks!
Here's my code:
import javax.naming.*;
import javax.naming.directory.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
class Getattr {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Identify service provider to use
Hashtable env = new Hashtable(11);
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
// user     info
String userName = "username";
String password = "password";
// LDAP server specific information
String host = "ldaphostname";
String port = "portnumber";
String basedn = "o=organization,c=country";
String userdn = "cn=" + userName + "," + basedn;
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap://" + host + ":" + port + "/" + basedn);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, userdn);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
try {
System.setErr(new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream(new File("data.txt"))));
// Create the initial directory context
DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);
// Ask for all attributes of the object
Attributes attrs = ctx.getAttributes("cn=" + userName);
NamingEnumeration ne = attrs.getAll();
while(ne.hasMore()){
Attribute attr = (Attribute) ne.next();
if(attr.size() > 1){
for(Enumeration e = attr.getAll(); e.hasMoreElements() ;) {
System.err.println(attr.getID() + ": " + e.nextElement());
} else {
     System.err.println(attr.getID() + ": " + attr.get());
// Close the context when we're done
ctx.close();
} catch(javax.naming.NamingException ne) {
     System.err.println("Naming Exception: " + ne);
} catch(IOException ioe) {
     System.err.println("IO Exception: " + ioe);

That doesn't work either. It seems its not finding the NamingException class in any of the jar files. I don't know why? Any clues?

Hi,
That error occurs when the variables that are being set are too short to hold the entire value being selected.
Either make the variables longer, or the columns shorter.
If you need mnore help, post
(1) The version of Oracle (and any other relevant software) you're using
(2) A little sample data (just enough to show what the problem is) from all the relevant tables
(3) The results you want from that data
(4) Your formatted code
(5) The full error message(s), including line number
Executable SQL statements (like "CREATE TABLE AS ..." or "INSERT ..." statements) are best for (2).
Formatted tabular output is okay for (3) and essential for (4). Type {code} before and after the tabular text, to preserve spacing.

ORA-06502 character string buffer too small error

We trying to insert a string of more then 500 character from our VB.net application (uses ODP.net), its giving ORA-06502 character string buffer too small error.
Kindly help us on this.
OS version: AIX 5.1 (IBM/AIX RISC System/6000)
Oracle Database version: 9.2.0.1.0

Just for reference and to close the loop, I found the fix to this problem (quite by accident).
The problem turned out to be a bug in the apex listener, which in some cases ended up doing a divide by zero, which caused the problem.
This is listed as a known bug, and a fixed listener is available.
Once I installed the fixed listener, problem solved!

Retrieving values from table control using DYNP_VALUES_READ

Hi all,
I am trying to retrieve the values from the table control using the FM DYNP_VALUES_READ. I have a situation where user enter values in table control in T.code FB60 in Withholding tab for validation purpose. There i'll have to check based on some entries maintained in SET.
I am unable to get the values when i scroll to the next page in the table control. FM raising an exception invalid_dynprofield.
Expecting reply...

You have to populate the dynpfields internal table before calling the function,
data: repid like sy-repid.
dynpfields-fieldname = 'PNAME'.
append dynpfields.
repid = sy-repid.
call function 'DYNP_VALUES_READ'
exporting
dyname = repid
dynumb = sy-dynnr
tables
dynpfields = dynpfields
exceptions
others.
read table dynpfields index 1.
pname = dynpfields-fieldvalue.
Now you will have the field value in pname
Hope this helps

I've been fiddling around with this problem for a while and can't seem to find any working solution. What I have is a method that I want to return all values from a HashMap, but instead of using the regular keys for a HashMap (0, 1, 2, 3), my keys are different numbers such as 51414, 62513, etc.
public Car[] getAllCars() {
          Map<Integer, Car> myCars = system.getCars(); //getCars() returns HashMap of Car objects from another class
          Car[] c = new Car[myCars.size()];
          if(myCars.size()!=0) // ensure map is populated
               for(int i=0; i<myCars.size(); i++)
                    myCars.get(i);
          return c;
     }So what's happening at the moment is it loops through myCars and gets some values, but only those ones at the keys of 0-15 (the size of the Map). What I need is to get the Keys from myCars and use them to return all Car objects. The HashMap API has something called KeySet() which I think could help me, but I can't get that working.
Any ideas?

          Car[] c = new Car[myCars.size()];
          Set<Integer> s = holds.keySet();
          Iterator keyIter = s.iterator();
          if(myCars.size()!=0)
               while (keyIter.hasNext()) {
                    Object key = keyIter.next();
                    Car cc = myCars.get(key);
                    System.out.println(myCars.get(key));
          return null;
     }What that does is gets the Car object that matches the specified key. What I need is for it to be returnable as an array of Car objects. I don't want it to print, but the output that is printed is basically what I want to be returned to an array.First, I'm not sure how you managed to find keySet() and not find values().
Second, okay, so you know how to get each value. Do you not know how to set a value in an array? Do you not know how to return a value from a method? Google can help you find tutorials for those. Otherwise, I have no idea what difficulty you're having.

How to Retrieve the Selected Values from selectOrderShuttle using ADF 11g

Hi Every One,
Does anyone has idea how to retrieve the selected Items using shuttle and Order of the items using 'SelectOrderShuttle' component ?
Thanks

shuttle's valuechangeevent would fire when you shuttle items back and forth.
    public void selectOrderShuttle1_valueChangeListener(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
        ArrayList list = new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(valueChangeEvent.getNewValue()));
        if (list != null){
            for (int i=0; i<list.size(); i++) {
                int l = list.size()-1;
                val = list.get(l).toString(); //returns , delimited string
                if (val != null){
                    val = val.replaceAll("[\\[\\]]", "");
                    StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer (val, ",");
                    int nto = st.countTokens ();
                    for (int j = 0; j < nto; j++)
                        String token = st.nextToken ();
            ..........
