Select data from database via XML

I want to select data for display and insert data to tables via XML, and I want
to do this from a browser.
I am using "Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.4.0" on HP-UX server
with "JServer Release 8.1.7.4.0.".
The oracle documentation says I need the following in order to do this.
1. XML-SQL Utility
2. XML Parser for Java, V2
3. JDBC driver
4. JDK
5. A Java compliant web server
6. XSL Servlet
How do I verify, if the above software list is available in my environment.
What are all available within the database and what are other software I need to
install.
Thanks

It's a classpath problem. Either you mistyped the class name, or you don't have the class in your classpath. I think Oracle's drivers come in db12.zip or db12.jar or some such. Whatever that jar or zip file is, it has to be in your classpath, but it's not.
Or it is in your classpath, but you're in an appserver context where the classloader that the container provides for your app uses something other than the classpath variable. For instance, in tomcat, the jar file would be uder webapps/yourApplication/WEB-INF/lib I think.

Hi,
The trouble in "<default>:" - if you set XML_PATH as C:\DATA_FILE\www.xml instead <default>:C:\DATA_FILE\www.xml- it will work correctly.

Select data from database tables with high performance

hi all,
how to select data from different database tables with high performance.
im using for all entries instead of inner joins, even though burden on data base tables is going very high ( 90 % in se30)
hw to increase the performance.
kindly, reply.
thnks

Also Check you are not using open sql much like distict order by group by , use abap techniques on internal table to acive the same.
also Dont use select endselect.
if possible use up to n rows claus....
taht will limit the data base hits.
also dont run select in siode any loops.
i guess these are some of the trics oyu can use to avoid frequent DATA BASE HITS AND ABVOID THE DATA BASE LAOD.

Extract data from database to xml ?

is there any API, classes or tools ready to extract data from oracle database and generate xml files, Instead to implement a DOM class and build little by little the xml file??
thanks for every info in advance.

Yes, download the Oracle XML Development Kit from Oracle's website and look at the documentation of the XML-SQL Utility.

Selecting Data from DSO via ABAP Routine

Hello,
i dont know how to solve my special requirements with sap bw. Maybe you have some idea.
I have a row of data in my DSO, which is like:
Date ObjectA ObjectB Amount
2014 08 18 testA testB 1000
2014 08 19 testA testC 500
2014 08 20 testA testB 2000
I want to have a key figure in my reports, which shows a special smoothed average per day of the past 3 months for each day-object combination.
The formula how the average is calculated, should be neglected in that example.
Date ObjectA ObjectB Amount smoothed average
2014 08 18 testA testB 1000 900
2014 08 19 testA testC 200 150
2014 08 20 testA testB 2000 950
2014 09 20 testA testB 3000 1000
My first idea was that I have to create that key figure in the transformation from DSO to my cube, because there is no option for that advanced calculations in queries.
So I need access to all the data in my DSO while i am in an abap environment in the transformation routine. I need that because i have to do calculations from data in the past. How can I achieve this? Or are there other ways to solve my requirements?
I hope you can help.
Best regards
Simon

You should utilize the start routine or end routine functionality of a 7.x transformation.
You can read from the DSO active table which has the naming convention: /BI0/A + dsoName + 00 (business content dso) or /BIC/A + dsoName + 00.
For example in end routine:
//local data declaration
DATA: lt_dso TYPE standard table of /bic/azfi_o0100.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs_dso> type /bic/azfi_o0100.
//get data
SELECT *
FROM /bic/azfi_o0100
INTO table lt_dso
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN RESULT_PACKAGE
WHERE objectA = objectA AND
 objectB = objectB.
SORT lt_dso BY objectA objectB.
//populate result package
LOOP AT RESULT_PACKAGE ASSIGNING <result_fields>.
READ TABLE lt_dso ASSIGNING <fs_dso>
WITH KEY objectA = <result_fields>-objectA
 objectB = <result_fields>-objectB
binary search.
//do calculation...
<result_fields>-zsmoothavg = ...
ENDLOOP.

Display data in Web DynPro table from database via EJB

I have a JavaBeans model which has a method populateDataToTable()to retrieve data from database via Session bean (calling entity bean, returning ArrayList of data) and the data needed to be display in the Web DynPro table.
User Interface (Web DynPro) <-> JavaBeans Model <-> Busineess Logic (session bean) <-> Persistence (Entity Bean)<-> DB table.
The context bindiing and table part is ok. How do i load the data to the table ? what the coding to put in wdDoInit() ?
Any help would be appreciated.

in wdinit(),
Collection col = new ArrayList();
try{
MyCommandBean bean = new MyCommandBean();
col = bean.getDataFromDbViaEJB();
wdContext.nodeMyCommandBean().bind(col);
} catch (Exception ex) {
 ex.printStackTrace(ex);
in your JavaBean model class, MyCommandBean getDatafromDbViaEJB() method:
Collection col = new ArrayList();
Collection newcol = new ArrayList();
//include your own context initialization etc...
col = local.getDataViaSessionBean(param);
// if your returned result also a bean class, reassigned it to current MyCommandBean
for (Iterator iterator = col.iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) {
 MyOtherBean otherBean=(MyOtherBean)iterator.next();
 MyCommmandBean bean = new MyCommandBean();
 bean.attribute1 = outBean.getAttirbute1();
 // get other attibutes
 newcol.add(bean);
return newcol;

How to select data from a PL/SQL table

Hi,
I am selecting data from database after doing some screening i want to store it in a PL/SQL table (temporary area) and pass it to oracle reports.
Is there any way to select the data from a PL/SQL table as a cursor. Or is there any other way of holding the temporary data and then pass it back as a cursor.
Regards
Kamal

A PL/SQL "table" is anything but a table. Whoever came up with this term in PL/SQL to describe what is known as dynamic arrays (the correct programming terminology that existed since the 70's if not earlier and what is used in all other programming languages I'm familiar with)... well, several descriptions come to mind and none of them are complimentary.
You cannot "select" from a PL/SQL dynamic array as it is not a table within the Oracle context of tables.
Thus you need to convert (cast) a PL/SQL dynamic array into a temporary Oracle data set/table in order to select from it. This is in general a Bad Idea (tm). Oracle tables and SQL and concurrency controls and all that are especially designed for processing data. PL/SQL arrays is a very simplistic data structure with very limited usage. Why would you want to use that in SQL via a SELECT statement when you can use Oracle tables (or proper temp tables) instead? Besides that, it is also slow to cast a dynamic PL/SQL array into an Oracle SQL data set structure (context switching, copying of memory, etc).
The proper way to use PL/SQL to generate data sets for use via the SQL engine is pipelined table functions.
This is not to say that you should never use PL/SQL arrays and casting in SQL.. simply that you need to make sure that this is the correct and scalable way to do it. And that will also always be an exception to the rule when you do.

Xml data from database using jdbc

I should get the xml data from database. Is this scenario possible using jdbc adapter ? If possible, how can I get it ?. Plz help me

I suppose that probably, xml data are stored in a BlobImage Field.
You can use a Stored Procedure on Database Side, to select and put out the xml data structured in output fields or structures.
From JDBC Sender channel, you can call the SP, that raise out a Structure formatted like the XML Data stored in Xml Database field.
In your opinion, this should be a possible way to achieve this issue?

Select data from another database

Hi,
Is it possible to retrieve data from a table from another database?
For instance, I have two databases db_1 and db_2
I login to the database db_1 using
sqlplus username/psw@db1
and to the database db_2 using
sqlplus username/psw@db2
In SQL> db1 I would like to use select statement from a table in the db2. Is it possible?
Another question:
I have two tablespaces TP1 and TP2 in the database db1
The TP1 is my default tablespace.
Can I switch from TP1 to TP2 tablespace in the sqlplus?
If not, how can I select all tables obtained in the TP2? Or how can I select data from a table in the TP2?
Thanks

I don't know how to create a db link. 
SQL Reference Guide - CREATE DATABASE LINK 
There are some examples in the doc above. 
 
What about if db1 and db2 have the same table name? No problem, exactly like when you have two same table name accross two schemas on same database. The table suffixed by the dblink name come from the other schema of other database (schema which you use to connect through the dblink to the other database).

SELECT data from two databases

I have two databases that I need to select data from in a
single SELECT. Using DWs Advanced window for creating the select I
don't see any way to select more than 1 Connection. Both databases
have unique user and passwords but reside on the same server. Any
idea how I can write a single SELECT to get data from both dbs. I
assumed it would be similar to selecting data from multiple tables
within the same db but the connection part is stumping me. Any
ideas would be greatly appreciated.

That's the basic technique for joining two tables in the same
database.
The original poster has tables in different databases that
have
different user accounts and passwords.
Although it's possible to join two databases, you cannot do
it unless
you have one user account with the same privileges on both
databases.

Select data from different database

hi,
may I know how to select data from different database?
for example,
I've 2 databases, OracleDB and OracleAR
Connect with OracleAR in SQL*Plus
select * from OracleDB.TableName
does Oracle support this kind of query?
how can I retrieve data from other database while im connecting with
other database?

Hi,
Yes, it's possible. No, your syntax won't work.
First of all you have to define a DATABASE LINK inside the DB where you are already connected (in this case OracleAR). Read docs how to do that.
Second thing is the query. It will look like
SELECT * from TableName@<NameOfDatabaseLink>Greetings,

I'm trying to select data from a mysql database that is connected via the BI-JDBC System in the portal (EP 7 SP 11).
The connection (using the Connector Gateway Service) is set up, but selecting data fails.
Can you please give me a code example how to select data from a table using INativeQuery or IOperation / IExcecution ?? IQuery is depracted...
