SQL Functions to Update XML Data

Hi,
Can anybody please tell me whether SQL Functions to Update XML Data (such as updateXML, insertChildXML, insertXMLbefore etc) are available with oracle 9i or not?
Please tell me.

You can also do a describe on SYS.XMLTYPE to see what methods are supported in your release. How would you find e.g. insertChildXML in DESC sys.xmltype? I suppose it is not a Method of the Type: Summary of XMLType Subprograms.

Update XML data stored in CLOB Column

Hi All,
i am new to Oracle and new to SQL
i am trying to update XML data stored in CLOB cloumn,data is stored with the follwoing format
<attrs><attr name="name"><string>Schade</string></attr></attrs>
i am using the following query for updating the value
UPDATE PRODUCT p SET ATTRIBUTES_nl_nl=UPDATEXML(XMLTYPE.createXML(ATTRIBUTES_nl_nl),'/attrs/attr[@name="name"]/string/text()','Schade').getClobVal() WHERE p.sku='000000000000040576_200911-5010057'
this query is working fine but it changing the data to the following format

Hi,
You should have created your own thread for this, and included database version.
This works for me on 11.2.0.2 and 10.2.0.5 :
SQL> create table t_org ( xml_clob clob );
Table created
SQL>
SQL> insert into t_org
2 values(
3 '<Message>
4 <Entity>
5 <ASSIGNMENT>
6 <OAVendorLocation> </OAVendorLocation>
7 <Vendorid>1</Vendorid>
8 </ASSIGNMENT>
9 </Entity>
10 </Message>'
11 );
1 row inserted
SQL> commit;
Commit complete
SQL> select '*' ||
2         extractvalue(xmltype(xml_clob),'/Message/Entity/ASSIGNMENT/OAVendorLocation')
3         || '*' as result
4 from t_org;
RESULT
SQL> update t_org set xml_clob =
2 updatexml(xmltype(xml_clob),
3 '/Message/Entity/ASSIGNMENT/OAVendorLocation/text()','LONDON').getClobVal()
4 ;
1 row updated
SQL> select '*' ||
2         extractvalue(xmltype(xml_clob),'/Message/Entity/ASSIGNMENT/OAVendorLocation')
3         || '*' as result
4 from t_org;
RESULT
*LONDON*
Does the OAVendorLocation really have a whitespace value?
If not then it's expected behaviour, you're trying to update a text() node that doesn't exist. In this case, the solution is to use appendChildXML to create the text() node, or update the whole element.
Is it your real document? Do you actually have some namespaces?

SQL Loader fails loading XML data enclosed by tag not found

The problem I'm having is my XML tree doesn't contain all possible elements. In this example the second entry doesn't contain <age> - only the first entry will be added to the database
Any idea of how I could solve this?
The fields are saved as varchar2
XML:
<rowset>
<row>
<name>Name</name>
<age>Age</age>
<city>City</city>
</row>
<row>
<name>Name2</name>
<city>City2</city>
</row>
</rowset>
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'data.xml' "str '</row>'"
APPEND
INTO TABLE test
TRAILING NULLCOLS
dummy FILLER terminated BY "<row>",
name ENCLOSED BY "<name>" AND "</name>",
age ENCLOSED BY "<age>" AND "</age>",
city ENCLOSED BY "<city>" AND "</city>"
)

I noticed that failure occurs when using 11g version SQL Loader. It doesn't fail when using 10g version SQL Loader.
Delimited source data comes from:

PL/SQL Function: Adding Days to Date

I have a function that adds a given number of days to a date, and excludes Saturday, Sunday, or Monday if needed with parameters. The problem is when the given date is a Friday, you need to add one day, and you exclude Saturday and Sunday i.e. DAYSBETWEEN('30-SEP-11',1,1,1,0) or DAYSBETWEEN('30-SEP-11',1,1,1,1).
Where am I going wrong here and what needs to be fixed?
create or replace
FUNCTION daysbetween(
      DAYIN IN DATE ,
      ADDNUM IN NUMBER ,
      EXSAT IN NUMBER ,
      EXSUN IN NUMBER ,
      EXMON IN NUMBER )
    RETURN DATE
IS
    dtestart DATE;
    dteend Date;
    intcount NUMBER;
BEGIN
WITH all_dates AS
    (SELECT LEVEL AS days_to_add ,
      dayin ,
      dayin + LEVEL AS new_dt ,
      addnum ,
      exsat ,
      exsun ,
      exmon
    FROM dual
      CONNECT BY LEVEL <= addnum * 2
    exclusions AS
    (SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( ORDER BY new_dt) ordering ,
      addnum ,
      new_dt ,
      TO_CHAR ( new_dt, 'DY' )
    FROM all_dates
    WHERE 1                       =1
    AND TO_CHAR ( new_dt, 'DY' ) != DECODE ( exsat, 1, 'SAT', 'XXX')
    AND TO_CHAR ( new_dt, 'DY' ) != DECODE ( exsun, 1, 'SUN', 'XXX')
    AND TO_CHAR ( new_dt, 'DY' ) != DECODE ( exmon, 1, 'MON', 'XXX')
SELECT MAX( new_dt ) INTO dteend FROM exclusions WHERE ordering <= addnum;
RETURN dteend;
END daysbetween;

You could do something in SQL like this perhaps...

Function module updating the data base table

Hi,
This post is regarding the function module not updating the data base table.
I am calling the FM SD_SHIPMENT_HEADER_CHANGE inside the ZFM. It's returning success an changing the table c_xvttk_new with the new TDLNR value. But it's not updating the Shipment table VTTK-TDLBR or VT02N Forwarding agent.
When I directly updating Forwarding agent in VT02N it's updating fine.
Please let me know what the extra step need to be included to update or COMMIT the FM for updating

Sql query generator from xml data

Hi,
I am looking for an open source tool in java which would generate the sql query with an xml configuration file as input. The xml configuration file schema would be defined by the tool and and would provide placeholders for giving the various information required to build the sql query.
Are there any available?
Please let me know.

*Cause: An attempt was made to convert CLOB to CHAR or BLOB to RAW, where
the LOB size was bigger than the buffer limit for CHAR and RAW

1. Make the LOB smaller before performing the conversion,
for example, by using SUBSTR on CLOB
2. Use DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR to convert CLOB to CHAR or BLOB to RAW.

SQL function to extract XML namespace prefix

Hi,
I have the following document
<ns4:product xmlns:ns1="www.abc.com" xmlns:ns2="www.def.com" xmlns:ns3="www.ghi.com" xmlns:ns4="www.jkl.com">
<ns4:productline>Widget</ns4:productline>
</ns4:product>
I'm trying to find a SQL function which will enable me to extract the namespace prefix with the value "www.jkl.com". This is so that I can then use the prefix as part of the xpath expression to search for an element value in the document eg. extractvalue('/ns4:product/ns4:productline')
Thanks

How to call a PL/SQL procedure from a xml Data Template

We have a requirement in which we need to call a pl/sql package.(dot)procedure from a Data Template of XML Publisher.
we have registered a Data Template & a RTF Template in the XML Publisher Responsibility in the Oracle 11.5.10 instance(Front End).
In the Data Query part of the Data Template , we have to get the data from a Custom View.
This view needs to be populated by a PL/SQL procedure.And this procedure needs to be called from this Data Template only.
Can anybody suggest the solution.
Thanks,
Sachin

Call the procecure in the After Parameter Form trigger, which can be scripted in the Data Template.
BTW, there is a specialized XML Publisher forum:
BI Publisher

Updating XML data

I have the following code in place to move a variable from my
Flash app to an XML file for storage . . .
//replace the GoodVN value in the XML file with the latest
valid voucher number
var VoucherNumbers:XML = new
XML("<VoucherNumbers><GoodVoucher>VoucherNo</GoodVoucher>
</VoucherNumbers>");
VoucherNumbers.contentType = "text/xml";
VoucherNumbers.send("VoucherNumbers.xml");
But this is not working. I cannot use LoadVars as it is meant
for use with a .txt file. I have tried other variations on this
code but with little success.
My XML file has the following layout . . .
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <VoucherNumbers>
<GoodVoucher>20060820151601</GoodVoucher>
- <CancelVoucher>
<CancelledVoucher>20060820091501</CancelledVoucher>
<CancelledVoucher>20060820102201</CancelledVoucher>
<CancelledVoucher>20060820105401</CancelledVoucher>
<CancelledVoucher>20060820114201</CancelledVoucher>
</CancelVoucher>
</VoucherNumbers>
So . . . how do I go about getting my VoucherNo variable from
Flash to replace the value in the GoodVoucher field in my XML file?

Flash is read only. You need some sort of serverside script
to write data to
a file. php, cfm, asp, cgi or perl.
There is a sample here that uses php to update an xml file
that displays a

Update XML Data

Does any one know how or if you can update or insert new data
into an xml file from Flash AS3?
An example would be someone filling out and submitting a form
and then the information entered is sent to the xml file to create
or update nodes in the xml file.
Thanks in advance.

You can't do that from the flash player directly.
You can do it via a server side script, e.g. using a php
script that processes the request from flash, but often data in
this type of scenario would be stored in a database instead of an
xml file (however using php for updating an xml file is entirely
possible too)

How to automatically update xml data for xml connector

I suspect the answer to this is simple because I am a real novice when it comes to ActionScript.
I have a project with an XML Connector that goes out and gets data from an xml file and displays it in a label in my flash.
It does this when the swf file loads using ActionScript in frame 1.
The ActionScript is simply:
this.labels_xc.trigger();
This is great. It loads the data from the XML file no problem. But the data in the XML file changes every so often. How do I get the swf file to go out and get the new data on a regular interval (say every 2 minutes or so)? I've looked at scripts with timers and I can't figure it out.
Here is the url to the page I'm testing it on:
http://www.timescapemedia.com/uptake/text.html

My lack of experience here is showing.
I tried putting the following, but neither work.
this.labels_xc.trigger();
setInterval(f, 30000);
function f() {
this.labels_xc.trigger();
and
this.labels_xc.trigger();
setInterval(f, 30000);
function f( ) {
this.labels_xc.trigger();
Obviously I'm not putting this together correctly.
I appreciate your patience and help.

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.

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.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
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

Using a SQL data source and XML data source in the same template

I am trying to develop a template for the Request for Quote report generated in Apps 11.5.10. I have loaded the data from the XML output into the template, but I am missing one field - I need the org_id from the po_headers table. Is it possible to use a sql data source (i.e., "select org_id from po_headers_all where po_header_id = [insert header_id from xml data]...") in addition to the xml data source to populate the template at runtime? When you use the Insert > SQL functionality is it static at the time the template is created, or does it call to the database at runtime? I've looked through all the docs I could find, but this isn't clear.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have.

Hi Pablo
Thats a tough one ... if you go custom with a data template you will at least get support on the data template functionality ie you have a problem when you try and build one. You will not get support on the query inside the data template as you might have gotten with the Oracle Report, well you could at least log a bug against development for a bad query.
Eventually that Oracle Report will be converted by development anyway, theres an R12 project going on right now to switch the shipped OReports to data templates. AT this point you'll be fully supported again but:
1. You have to have R12 and
2. You'll need to wait for the patch
On reflection, if you are confident enough in the query then Oracle will support you on its implementation within a data template. Going forward you may be able to swap out your DT and out in the Oracle one without too much effort.
