Transforming XML data into SVG line charts

Hi
I am trying to transform revenue data from an XML file into an SVG line chart. The problem is that I am quite new to XPath and XSLT and whereas I can draw the grid for my chart I struggle drawing the lines using the data from the XML doc.
The XML look something like the one below, and I would like to have one chart for each product and in each chart having the time on the x-axis and chart the revenue by regions.
Any help on this is much appreciated.
Thanks
Peter

Instead of using SVG charting can I suggest that you look into digital charts. This service creates charts on the fly and is very easy to integrate with web applications.

You could try Jeni's XSLT utilities for SVG :
http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/utilities/svg-utils.html
Specifically, the sample code provided, when a couple of SVG charts are being generated from XML data :

Hope that helps.

"no data found" in SVG Line Chart

Hello,
I have a problem with a SVG Line Chart!
I have multiple series in the Line Chart, which data is based on multiple select lists.
When I leave one select list blank, so that one line has no data, the "no data found" statement appears in the Chart.
But when I delete the "no data found" statement in the Series Attributes it would not be deleted. Nevertheless when I open the Series Attributes again the message is still there....
Does anybody have an idea how I van delete the "No Data found Message"???
Thanks,
Tim

Chris and Cristoph -
I have found that many times errors like this are caused by SQL statements that don't really address the business need or the requirements for the chart. Let me use a simple example:
SELECT d.dept_name dept_name,
       sum(s.sales_total) sales_total
FROM orders o, depts d
WHERE o.dept_id = d.dept_id
AND o.time_frame = 'Q1'
GROUP BY dept_nameSeems simple enough. But what if this statement is run early during the Q1 timeframe and one dept hasn't made any sales yet? Well, they won't show up in the output of this statement. From a business perspective, you will want that dept to show on the report with a zero total sales. You don't want them excluded from the report. So how do we fix this?
There are several options.
One dirty way of solving this is putting in a dummy record for each dept into the orders table with a 0 sales_total value for each time unit. YUK! That has wrong written all over it!
We could use a different type of join. And then use NVL or a Case or IF statement to turn Null Values into 0.
SELECT d.dept_name dept_name,
       sum(nvl(s.sales_total,0)) sales_total
FROM orders o RIGHT JOIN dept d ON d.dept_id = o.dept_id
WHERE o.time_frame = 'Q1'
GROUP BY dept_nameWe could also square our data sets and summarize with an inner select
SELECT dept_name dept_name,
       sum(sales_total) sales_total
FROM (
SELECT d.dept_name ,
         sum(s.sales_total) sales_total
FROM orders o, dept d
WHERE o.dept_id = d.dept_id
    AND o.time_frame = 'Q1'
GROUP BY dept_name
UNION ALL
SELECT DISTINCT dept_name ,
         0 sales_total
FROM dept
GROUP BY dept_nameThe final result is that every dept has a value. That is the key. This is how the chart expects the data and this is probably how your business expects the data.

Xml data into non-xml database.. solution anyone?

Hi,
My current project requires me to store the client's data on our servers. We're using Oracle9i. Daily, I will download the client's data for that day and load it into our database. My problem is that the data file is not a flat file so I can't use sql*loader to load the data. Instead, the data file is an xml file. What is the best way to load xml data into a non-xml database? Are there any tools similar to sql*Loader that will load xml data into non-xml database? Is it the best solution for the client to give me an XML dump of their data to load into our database, or should I request a flat file? My last resort would be to write some sort of a script to parse the xml data into a flat file, and then run it through sql*loader. Is this the best solution? One thing to note is that these files could be very large.
Thanks in advance.

I assume that just putting the XML file into an
extremely large VARCHAR field is not what you want.
Instead, you want to extract data elements from the
XML and write them to columns in a table in your
database. Right?Yes. Your assumption is correct.
It sounds like you already have a script that loads a
flat file into your database. In that case I would
write an XSL transformation that converts the client's
XML into a correctly-formatted flat file.Thank you. I'll look into that. Other suggestions are welcome.

Best method to load XML data into Oracle

Hi,
I have to load XML data into Oracle tables. I tried using different options and have run into a dead end in each of those. I do not have knowledge of java and hence have restricted myself to PL/SQL solutions. I tried the following options.
1. Using DBMS_XMLSave package : Expects the ROWSET and ROW tags. Connot change format of the incoming XML file (Gives error oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Start of root element expected).
2. Using the XMLPARSER and XMLDOM PL/SQL APIs : Works fine for small files. Run into memory problems for large files (Gives error java.lang.OutOfMemoryError). Have tried increasing the JAVA_POOL_SIZE but does not work. I am not sure whether I am changing the correct parameter.
I have read that the SAX API does not hog memory resources since it does not build the entire DOM tree structure. But the problem is that it does not have a PL/SQL implementation.
Can anyone PLEASE guide me in the right direction, as to the best way to achieve this through PL/SQL ??? I have not designed the tables so am flexible on using purely relational or object-relational design. Although would prefer to keep a purely relational design. (Had tried used object-relational for 1. and purely relational for 2. above)
The XML files are in the following format, (EXAMINEEs with single DEMOGRAPHIC and multiple TESTs)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Root_Element>
<Examinee>
<MACode>A</MACode>
<TestingJID>TN</TestingJID>

Thanks for the help.

Please refer to the XSU(XML SQL Utility) or TransX Utility(for Multi-language Document) if you want to load data in XML format into database.
Both of them require special XML formats, please first refer to the following docs:
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/tech/xml/xdk_java/doc_library/Production9i/doc/java/xsu/xsu_userguide.html
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/tech/xml/xdk_java/doc_library/Production9i/doc/java/transx/readme.html
You can use XSLT to transform your document to the required format.
If you document is large, you can use SAX method to insert data into database. But you need to write the code.
The following sample may be useful:

Must be something wrong with your XSL.
However apparently it was so urgent that you didn't have the time to look at what you posted. They just "fixed" the forum software and apparently it doesn't escape HTML that you type in any more. Or stuff that looks like HTML, either. So your post was unreadable.
If your deadline hasn't passed, try reposting that code surrounded by [pre] and [/pre].

SVG line chart raises ORA-20001 witha valid SQL query

Hi,
I am on version 1.6 & 10g database. I developed an SVG line chart which was working fine, but I wanted to fill in some sparse data by using data densification. So I enhanced my query with a partitioned outer join as follows:
select null l, month_start, issue_count
from
(with dates as
(select add_months
( to_date( '01-jul-2004' ),
column_value-1) dt
from table( vtable(12) )),
iss as
(select trunc(start_date, 'MON') mon , count(*) cnt
from issues
group by trunc(start_date, 'MON'))
select dates.dt month_start, NVL(iss.cnt, 0) issue_count
from dates left outer join iss on (dt=mon)
Now the chart throws an ORA-20001 get_data error. The query is valid as it runs in SQL*plus no problems. What is it choking on?
Thanks,
Steve

Steve,
I didn't mean for you to put in on the Studio, just install the app in your workspace on htmldb.oracle.com, use SQL Workshop there to compile your procedures, tell us the app ID, and that's it.
The error message presentation needs some improvement, give us time. We're spending most of our energy on improving the capability of the product.

Loading XML Data into Relational Table

Hello,
I receive an XML file generated from another tool (on Windows), I am trying to create a Linux shell script that will gather the needed XML file from my Linux database server, then have Oracle use this file to load the XML data into a relational table. This activity & data will be needed on an ongoing basis.
I have tried this two ways. First, I loaded the XML document into the database and tried to extract the data directly from the document, but that is not working. Now I want to try to read the data directly from the file on the server via select, however I am not getting any data returned. In the Select statement below, I am simply trying to query the data to see what is returned for my testing.
Create Table ci_results_table (transactionID Varchar2(100), //transactionID should be PrimaryKey but was getting NULL value errors during insert test, so removed PK
message Varchar2(200),
ci Varchar2(50),
processeddate xmltype,
status Varchar2(50),
sourcefile VarChar2(100));
select x.*
from XMLTable(
     'TSPLoadResults/Results'
     PASSING xmltype(bfilename('CMDB_DEVADHOCRESULTS_DIR','LoadResults-HP_146.results.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8'))
     COLUMNS
       transactionID Varchar2(100) PATH 'TransactionID',
       Result XMLType PATH 'Result',
       Message Varchar2(200) PATH 'Message',
       PrimaryKey Varchar2(50) PATH 'PrimaryKey',
       ProcessedDate date PATH 'ProcessedDate',
       Status Varchar2(50) PATH 'Status',
       SourceFile VarChar2(100) PATH 'SourceFileName'
   ) x
Eventually I will need to build on this to limit the data returned to those records where SourceFileName is like 'HPDS%' and insert what is returned in to the ci_results_table. Attached is a sample Results XML file I am trying to load, It is named "ResultsTransformedtoUnix" because I used dos2Unix to convert it to Unix which may be right or wrong. (The output file I send out has to be transformed to DOS format before the other application can read it). Original file (before Unix conversion) named in script is also attached.
Please help. Thank you!

Hi,
I see some wrong things in your query.
1) The obvious one, explaining why you're not getting any data : there's a typo in the XQuery expression, it's "Result" not "Results"
2) ProcessedDate cannot be extracted as a date (at least not directly) since it actually represents a timestamp, use TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE datatype and cast back to DATE in the SELECT clause
3) transactionID is an attribute, it must be accessed with '@' (or 'attribute::' axis)
4) If the file encoding is truly ISO-8859-1 as the prolog suggests, then do not use AL32UTF8 but the corresponding charset name : WE8ISO8859P1
Here's the working query :
select x.transactionID
     , x.Message
     , x.Primarykey
     , cast(x.ProcessedDate as date) ProcessDate
     , x.Status
     , x.SourceFile
from XMLTable(
       '/TSPLoadResults/Result'
       PASSING xmltype(bfilename('XML_DIR','LoadResults-HP_146.results.xml'), nls_charset_id('WE8ISO8859P1'))
       COLUMNS
         transactionID Varchar2(100)            PATH '@transactionID',
         Message       Varchar2(200)            PATH 'Message',
         PrimaryKey    Varchar2(50)             PATH 'PrimaryKey',
         ProcessedDate timestamp with time zone PATH 'ProcessedDate',
         Status        Varchar2(50)             PATH 'Status',
         SourceFile    VarChar2(100)            PATH 'SourceFileName'
     ) x
Using this query directly over the file will only perform decently (for large files) on 11.2.0.4 and onwards.
On prior versions, first load the file in a (temporary) XMLType column with Binary XML storage and SELECT from there.
because I used dos2Unix to convert it to Unix which may be right or wrong.
This conversion shouldn't be necessary.

How to Convert internal table data into xml and xml data into internal tab

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement that i have to convert the internal table data into xml format and viceversa . for my requirement i came to know that i have to use Transformations concept. i done the converting the data from internal table into xml data by using standard Tranformations. My Question is
1) Can i use same Transformation to convert the xml data into abap internal table. if it is possible then how ???
2) Is it possible using the standard Transformation or I have to go for XSLT approach
Please help me out from this guys,
Thanks and Regards
Koti

Hi Koti,
This is possible. There is a link. With the help of this link you can convert ABAP data to XML and vice versa.

Problems with SVG line charts based on PL/SQL returning SQL

Dear all - I wonder if anyone can tell me whether this problem is likely to be fixed at some point?
It relates to the fact that you can't get more than one series on a chart where the SQL is returned from PL/SQL.
It is a huge issue for us when trying to create complex, dynamic charts, which are simple enough in PL/SQL, but end up quite nightmarish in pure SQL.
Although we have implemented Maani SWF (Flash) charts as a workaround, users don't like them as there's no 'save as...' or copy+paste and they seem to print very badly indeed.
Here's part of a post from last May with more detail:
"If I take a really simple table like this:
CREATE TABLE "CHART_TEST"
( "X" DATE NOT NULL ENABLE,
"Y" NUMBER(5,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
CONSTRAINT "CHART_TEST_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("X") ENABLE
and populate it with:
X Y
2006-01-01T00:00:00 1
2006-02-01T00:00:00 2
2006-03-01T00:00:00 3
2006-04-01T00:00:00 4
2006-05-01T00:00:00 5
2006-06-01T00:00:00 6
2006-07-01T00:00:00 7
2006-08-01T00:00:00 8
2006-09-01T00:00:00 9
2006-10-01T00:00:00 10
I can create a chart with a single series using syntax something like:
begin
return 'select null link, x label, y value
from chart_test';
end;
and this works fine. However, if I add a second series:
begin
return 'select null link, x label, (y + 1) value
from chart_test';
end;
then the whole of the chart region blanks out.
There's an example at:
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=15491:1"
Many thanks,
John.

On some, but not all SVG line charts, I had trouble when some values are ZERO.
Putting a CASE WHEN var = 0 then 0.05 ELSE var END in the select statement
fixed those situations.
I had missing lines when the number of data points in a series exceeded the default number of 15, and I did not set in the series configuration to a number equal to or higher that the number of data points in that series.
And I had one instance, where a couple missing lines reappeared when I exited
the browser and app completely and restarted the app.
All these comments apply to ver 1.6x and 2.0x

How to insert more than 32k xml data into oracle clob column

how to insert more than 32k xml data into oracle clob column.
xml data is coming from java front end
if we cannot use clob than what are the different options available

Are you facing any issue with my code?
String lateral size error will come when you try to insert the full xml in string format.
public static boolean writeCLOBData(String tableName, String id, String columnName, String strContents) throws DataAccessException{
boolean isUpdated = true;
Connection connection = null;
try {
connection = ConnectionManager.getConnection ();
//connection.setAutoCommit ( false );
PreparedStatement PREPARE_STATEMENT = null;
String sqlQuery = "UPDATE " + tableName + " SET " + columnName + " = ? WHERE ID =" + id;
PREPARE_STATEMENT = connection.prepareStatement ( sqlQuery );
// converting string to reader stream
Reader reader = new StringReader ( strContents );
PREPARE_STATEMENT.setClob ( 1, reader );
// return false after updating the clob data to DB
isUpdated = PREPARE_STATEMENT.execute ();
PREPARE_STATEMENT.close ();
} catch ( SQLException e ) {
e.printStackTrace ();
finally{
return isUpdated;
Try this JAVA code.
