SetDateFormat in XMLGEN

The setDateFormat method in the
XMLGEN package does not seem to
work correctly. It will fail
on parsing the next date no
matter what the format after being
set, even when set to the default.
Xmlgen.setDateFormat('YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')
Will cause an insert in that format
to fail???

Hello,
The reason you are having this problem is that your date format syntax is wrong (i.e. your mask is wrong). Please refer to the java class SimpleDateFormat documentation. It is there that they give a nice explanation of how the date mask should look like. The XSU uses java representation of the date mask.

ps.: The link below with take you to the documentation I am talking about. Good luck. http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

Xmlgen.setdateformat

I am using xmlgen to generate xml document for a query. setdateformat is not making any sense on the output. Is anybody has idea about this.

Sorry the format is this way
xmlgen.setquerydateformat ('yyyy-MM-dd''T''hh:mm:ss');
v_lob := xmlgen.getxml('select........');

InsertXML setDateFormat error

I'm getting an error when using insertxml and my xml document has dates in it. I have
set the procedure "setDateFormat" to the
appropriate date mask. I have tried many different date formats and the only way I can get it to work is when there are no dates in the xml document. I have attached a test script and the resulting error.
Thanks in advance

You have to use the date format masks that are defined at:
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/api/java.text.SimpleDateFormat.html
which are difference from the standard Oracle date masks.
For dates of the form 12-Dec-00, the mask would be (case-sensitive!):
d-M-yy

Why are results from xmlgen.getxml truncated?

I have a table with 25 rows in it that displays all contents with a SELECT * statement. However, if I wrap this statement in an xmlgen.getxml the result is truncated. I'm sure this is a novice issue, and this novice would appreciate any insight.
Thanks in advance,
Rich
query:
SELECT xmlgen.getxml('SELECT * FROM dbotemp.portfolio') xml from dual
result:
XML
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1">

1 row selected.

you get a clob and clobs are normely truncated
when you use the statement ins SQL*PLus try: "set long 10000"
and you will see the whole result

What is actually throwing the NullPointerException? rs.getMetaData() or table.setModel()?

Using xmlgen in Job - Urgent

We are having aproblem calling xmlgen from a job submitted using dbms_job.
We are trying to set up a background job to process new records in a table and create an xml doc and store this in another table.
When the job executes it fails without any specfic reason. I have tried force the job to run from my session using "run" and it also fails. I have tried removing things from the procedure to see what causes the problem and it is specifically the xmlgen.
It is the call to xmlgen specifically that causes the job to fail.
Does anyone have a solution or has anyone used xmlgen inside of a systen job?
Thanks

If you JavaBean does not use any kind of connection pooling, your site performance is not going to be good. However, you probably don't need to worry about deadlocks on the JSP end if you don't have connection pooling, since you are likely not to have shared objects/variables among the different JSP threads. If you site experiences heavy load, the probablility of your database crashing would be significantly higher if you don't have database connection pooling

UTF8 problem with XMLGEN

Hi All,
I'm having problems with the XML generation. The problem is that when we try to generate XML using a query, such as:
select xmlgen.getXML('select content_id, locale_id, content from bc_content_local where delete_p = ''0''',1) from dual;
It works fine so long as of the information retrieved by the query is ASCII. But if there are UTF8 characters in there, the
generation of the XML fails.
I wasn't actually getting an error message. It would work and return XML but as soon as the first UTF-8 character was encountered,
the XML just stopped.
Two questions:
1) Does the XML generation support UTF-8? 2)
If it does (I seem to remember hearing that it did) what has to be done so that this
works correctly?
We are using a UTF8 characterset we set during database creation. I have also tried setting up NLS_LANG in the client registrty to american_america.utf8 - but in both client and server I get teh same message.
Database: Oracle 8.1.7 Standard Edition on Sun-Solaris 2.8
Any help greatly appreciated,

Temp Tablespace Goes Berzerk using XMLGEN

The following procedure seems to maxout my temporary tablespace (2G!!!!)
I use this procedure to pump XML to a client given a sql statement and a few parameters.
I am using the plxmlparser_v1_0_2 release and the XSU12_ver1_2_1 release.
There seems to be some discussion concerning this in other threads but no soloution seems to be forth coming. Any advice?
PS I am also having a problem with XMLGEN returning XML datasets >90k. Methinks the two issues are related.

The user the xml sdk was installed in and its privs is:
CREATE USER "XML" PROFILE "DEFAULT"
DEFAULT TABLESPACE "USERS"
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE "TEMP"
ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
grant connect to XML;
grant resource to XML;
grant javauserpriv to XML;
grant javasyspriv to XML;
I suppose I can give the XML user it's own temp tablespace to save the rest of the production environment from going down.
But does not solve the problem :(

Generate XML using package xmlgen

I have the following query:
select employ_id, last_name, first_name, salary from employ;
I need generate xml like this:
<row>
<employ>
<employ_id last_name="Dennis" First_name="david">1</employ>
<salary>6</salary>
</employ>
</row>
How can I get it using xmlgen package? Thanks.
null

No, you will not be able to do that. The
problem is that the columns of the db table
are mapped to XML elements rather then
attributes. Your best bet at achieving your
goal is that after you get your xml document
from the XSU, you transform it using XSLT.
The Oracle Parser does include the xsl processor.
visar
ps.: Today, when using XSU's java API, you can directly get a DOM tree representation of the XML document, which then you can pass directly to the XSL processor and transform it; unfortunately, the PL/SQL API (i.e. xmlgen) doesn only return a string (i.e. lob) representation of the XML doc. So you have to use the PL/SQL Parser to parse it, get it in the DOM format, and only then can you transform it. The good news is that I was assured that in the future the XMLGEN will have a call to get the XML doc in DOM rep.

Encoding in XMLGEN or DBMS_XMLQUERY

Is it possible to set the encoding of the XML generated in
either XMLGEN or DBMS_XMLQUERY package?
We're using Oracle 8.1.5 so we're stuck with an older version of
XSU.
TIA

So, if I have the following code segment:
query := 'select *
from test_table
where col1 = :bind1
and col2 = :bind2';
queryCtx := DBMS_XMLQuery.newContext(query);
DBMS_XMLQuery.setBindValue(queryCtx, 'bind1', parm1);
DBMS_XMLQuery.setBindValue(queryCtx, 'bind2', parm2);
result := DBMS_XMLQuery.getXML(queryCtx);
DBMS_XMLQuery.closeContext(queryCtx);
Are you saying that I need to call 'xmlgen.clearBindValues' before binding any variables? If so, wouldn't it make more sense to have the method in the DBMS_XMLQuery package also? Why use methods from two different packages to manipulate the data?
Also, Mark, thanks for the link to the viewlet, but I think you probably meant to point to
http://otn.oracle.com/tech/xml/htdocs/XDBDemo1.html
or http://otn.oracle.com/tech/xml/htdocs/XDBDemo2.html
am I correct?
