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.

Cause :   The operation attempted on the file or LOB failed.
Action:   See the next error message in the error stack for more detailed

           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.

Extracting a count of distinct values between two date ranges over months

Hi All,
I am having a bit of difficulty in figuring out the query to build a list of active campaigns over a date range.
i.e. I have a table with campaign IDs and their start and end date details like this
Campaign_id     Start_date     End_date
        10001     1-Jun-09     31-May-11
        10002     1-Jun-09     23-Jun-11
        30041     21-Aug-09     31-Dec-09
        20005     3-Jun-10     31-May-11
        90021     21-Nov-09     30-Nov-10
        54000     1-Jun-11     1-Dec-12
        35600     1-Mar-10     31-Mar-12 What the above data means is, for eg. the campaign 10001 is active from 1-Jun-09 to 31-May-11 i.e. for 24 months (inclusive of the month Jun-09 and May-11)
What I need to figure out is the counts of active campaigns between a date range and display that active count at a month level (for e.g. lets say we want to see all the campaigns that were active
between the date range '01-JUN-2007' and '30-APR-2012' ). So the partial output would be as seen below. The list would continue till december-2012
Month    Year    Count of active campaigns

Select Between Two Dates ELSE

I can't really seem to get this straightened out.
SELECT distinct DATE, gross_total_return
FROM WPI_ICL
CASE Between '01-01-1980' AND '09-30-2008'
AND description = 'Broad Market Index United States Property (US Dollar)'
ELSE
description = 'S&P United States Property Residential (US Dollar)'
END
So, if records are between two dates, select a certain description, ELSE select a different description. I've tried IF...Then, and I've tried Case too. So far, nothing has worked out.
Can someone please give me a point in the right direction?
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

Here's a working example:
DECLARE @wpi_icl TABLE (date DATE, gross_total_return FLOAT, description1 VARCHAR(100), description2 VARCHAR(100))
INSERT INTO @wpi_icl (date, gross_total_return, description1, description2)
VALUES
('2008-09-29', 100.0, 'Broad Market Index United States Property (US Dollar)', 'S&P United States Property Residential (US Dollar)'),
('2008-10-01', 200.0, 'Broad Market Index United States Property (US Dollar)', 'S&P United States Property Residential (US Dollar)')
SELECT date, gross_total_return,
CASE WHEN date BETWEEN '1900-01-01' AND '2008-09-30' THEN description1
ELSE description2
END AS description
FROM @wpi_icl
From the code you posted, it seems you're unsure of the syntax of CASEs.
There are two ways to use a case. The first is the example above. You enclose the conditions between CASE and END.
Each condition has its own WHEN with a clause that evaluates to true or false. This clause can be made up of as many conditions as you like. After the clause comes a THEN. This is essentially what you want to happen if the clause returns true. WHEN/THEN is
synonymous with IF/THEN in this instance.
Including an ELSE is optional, but, be aware if you do not, and none of your WHEN clauses evaluate to true, you will have a NULL returned.
CASE
WHEN theseDriods = theDriodsWereLookingFor THEN callVader
WHEN theseDriods <> theDriodsWereLookingFor THEN moveAlong
ELSE goHomeAndRethinkLife
END
The other (less common) option operates like a SWITCH in some other languages. Its still surrounded by CASE and END but this time, the when just contains a value to be compared to the value at the start of the case:
CASE 16
WHEN 15 THEN 'too low'
WHEN 16 THEN 'just right'
WHEN 17 THEN 'too high'
END
Hope this helps.

Oracle 8i - select between to date ranges, but exculde time ranges

Hi, I'm using Oracle 8i
I'm trying to select a set of records that are between a certain date time (say between October 15 at 6pm and October 17 at 6am) and then want to include only those records that fall between 6am and 6pm within the range.
I've tried extract and trunc function and can't seem to get it to work.
If I do a trunc to try to pull out only hour, it returns all of the date information as well:
SQL> select trunc(to_date('14-10-2007 02:43:46','DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),'HH24') from dual;
TRUNC(TO_DATE('14-10

If you can subtract date types from each other in 8i (I think you can but don't know for sure) you can use this:select dte, (dte-trunc(dte))*24 hours
from (SELECT TO_DATE('15-10-2007 05:59:59',    'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') DTE FROM DUAL UNION ALL
   SELECT TO_DATE('15-10-2007 06:00:00',    'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') FROM DUAL UNION ALL
   SELECT TO_DATE('15-10-2007 06:00:01',    'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') FROM DUAL UNION ALL
   SELECT TO_DATE('15-10-2007 17:59:59',    'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') FROM DUAL UNION ALL
   SELECT TO_DATE('15-10-2007 18:00:00',    'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') FROM DUAL UNION ALL
   SELECT TO_DATE('15-10-2007 18:00:01',    'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') FROM DUAL UNION ALL

Extract data from XML file to Oracle database

Dear All
Please let me know, how to extract data from XML file to Oracle database which includes texts & images.
Thanking You
Regards Lakmal Marasinghe

I would do it from the database, but then again, I am a database / PL/SQL guy.
IMHO the database will deliver you with more options. I don't know about "speed" between the two.

Load data from XML files into BI

Hi All,
Can any one guide me through the steps which involve in loading data from XML files into BI?
Thanks
Santosh

Hi James,
I have followed upto step No: 12 .
Please could you let me know how to link the XML file on my local drive to BI,
I am not able to find figure out where to specify the path of the XML file to be loaded into BI.
Thanks In Advance
Regards,
San
1. Create a Infosource(ZIS), with transfer structure in accordance with the structure in the XML file. (You can open the XML file with MS Excel.This way you can get to know the structure).
2. Activate the transfer rules.
3. After activation ;from the Menu Bar , Select Extras>Create BW Datasource with SOAP connection.
4.Now Activate the Infosurce again, this creates an XML based Datasource(6AXXX...)
5.These steps would create two sub nodes under the Infosource(ZIS).
6.Select Myself system and create a data package and execute it run in Init mode(without Data Transfer).
7. This would create an entry in RSA7(BW delta Queue)
8. Again create another Delta Infopackage under it, and run it. Now the Datasource(6AXXXXXX..) would turn green in RSA7.
9.In Function builder(SE37) select your FM( do a search ,F4, on the datasource 6AXXX....) .
10.Inside this RFC based FM , from the Menu Bar select Utilities>more Utilities>Create Web services>From Function module.
11.A wizard will guide you through the next steps .
12.once this is done a Web serrvice would be enabled in WSADMIN. Select your FM and execute it.
13.From here you can upload the data from XML file into BW delta queue.

Select Query Between two dates...

Hi Guru's,
I need a Select Query between two dates, also if the record not found for any in between date then it should return NULL or 0 ...
for Example
1. I am having two records in DB for date 2-10-2008 & 4-10-2008
2. Now suppose I have given Query for date between 1-10-2008 to 5-10-2008
Then it should return me 5 records with valid values for 2 & 4 and NULL for other 1,3,5
Thanks.

Try like this:
with
t as
      select date '2008-10-02' as dt, 'Record #1 (in DB)' as str from dual union all
      select date '2008-10-04' as dt, 'Record #2 (in DB)' as str from dual
select v.dt, t.str
from (
         select date '2008-10-01' + level - 1 as dt
           from dual
         connect by level <= (date '2008-10-05' - date '2008-10-01') + 1
       ) v
left join t
    on v.dt = t.dt
order by 1

Hi, extract data from xml file and insert into another exiting xml file

i am searching code to extract data from xml file and insert into another exiting xml file by a java program. I understood it is easy to extract data from a xml file, and how ever without creating another xml file. We want to insert the extracted data into another exiting xml file. Suggestions?
1st xml file which has two lines(text1.xml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xs:PrintDataRequest xmlns:xs="http://com.unisys.com/Anid"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://com.unisys.com/Anid file:ANIDWS.xsd">
<xs:Person>
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://com.unisys.com/Anid file:ANIDWS.xsd">
These two lines has to be inserted in the existing another xml(text 2.xml) file(at line 3 and 4)
Regards,
bubbly

RandomAccessFile? If you know where you want to insert it.Are you sure about this? If using this, the receiving file would have to have bytes inserted that exactly match the number of bytes replaced. I'm thinking that you'll likely have to stream through the second XML with a SAX parser and copy information (or insert new information) as you stream with an XML writer of some sort.

Select entries between two dates by converting Unix timestamp in Oracle Dat

Hi,
I need to select the entries between two dates from an Oracle db. The Oracle db has a column with Unix timestamps. I use the following querry, but it doesnt seem to be working as desired.
select count(*) from reporter_status where to_char(FIRSTOCCURRENCE, 'mm-dd-yy') between ('08-07-06') and ('08-08-06');
FIRSTOCCURRENCE has the Unix timestamps.
Could anyone help me out with this. Thank you for your help.

Assuming that it is actually a UNIX timestamp, then it is the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970, so you need something like:
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM reporter_status
WHERE TO_DATE('01-Jan-1970', 'dd-mon-yyyy') + (firstoccurrence/24/60/60)
BETWEEN TO_DATE('08-07-2006', 'mm-dd-yyyy') AND
TO_DATE('08-08-2006, 'mm-dd-yyyy');Did Y2K not teach us anything? Use 4 digit years.

Find gap between two dates from table

Hello All,
I want to find gap between two dates ,if there is no gap between two dates then it should return min(eff_dt) and max(end_dt) value
suppose below data in my item table
item_id    eff_dt           end_dt
10         20-jun-2012     25-jun-2012
10         26-jun-2012     28-jun-2012 There is no gap between two rows for item 10 then it should return rows like
item_id eff_dt end_dt
10 20-jun-2012 28-jun-2012
item_id    eff_dt           end_dt
12         20-jun-2012     25-jun-2012
12         27-jun-2012     28-jun-2012 There is gap between two rows for item 12 then it should return like
item_id eff_dt end_dt
12 20-jun-2012 25-jun-2012
12 27-jun-2012 28-jun-2012
I hv tried using below query but it giv null value for last row
SELECT   item_id, eff_dt, end_dt, end_dt + 1 AS newd,
         LEAD (eff_dt) OVER (PARTITION BY ctry_code, co_code, item_id ORDER BY ctry_code,
          co_code, item_id) AS LEAD,
         (CASE
             WHEN (end_dt + 1) =
                    LEAD (eff_dt) OVER (PARTITION BY ctry_code, co_code, item_id ORDER BY ctry_code,
                     co_code, item_id, eff_dt)
                THEN '1'
             ELSE '2'
          END
         ) AS new_num
FROM item
   WHERE TRIM (item_id) = '802'
ORDER BY ctry_code, co_code, item_id, eff_dtI m using oracle 10g.
please any help is appreciate.
Thanks.

Use start of group method:
with sample_table as (
                      select 10 item_id,date '2012-6-20' start_dt,date '2012-6-25' end_dt from dual union all
                      select 10,date '2012-6-26',date '2012-6-26' from dual
select item_id,
        min(start_dt) start_dt,
        max(end_dt) end_dt
from (
         select item_id,
                 start_dt,
                 end_dt,
                 sum(start_of_group) over(partition by item_id order by start_dt) grp
           from (
                  select item_id,
                          start_dt,
                          end_dt,
                          case lag(end_dt) over(partition by item_id order by start_dt)
                            when start_dt - 1 then 0
                            else 1
