Spreadsheet plugin vs specific type of Oracle server

Hi, I'm a client level user. My Knowledge is very low. But the amounts of data to use for reports get bigger and bigger. I could suggest my manager the use of this plug-in. But I should know, before, if the server type is important, or if any else (ORA OLE DB) can support the use of the plug-in.
I hope anyone can answer my question. Then a competent technician could be asked to install it if compatible.
Thanks and best regards.

Hi,
Despite the lack of knowledge,
Despite the unanswered (non interesting for specialists ?) question,
Because I am really concerned and seriously interested by an integrated solution as an end user,
And Because the specialists dedicated to the server are overloaded,
I have to structure my demand enough to highly class it through the development priorisation.
I had to know if, and in this case, how the Oracle BI spreadsheet Add-in can work with the server used in "my" Organization.
So, One week later, I found something by myself.
I had to search, read a lot. loose lot of time. I could discover other tools and applications, not only servers, some are opensource and in the particular cases of Talend and Palo, that I explored too, I found lots of answers very quickly.
I still have to read this document that any specialist could have shown to me :
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/olap.101/b10333.pdf
5 lines of abstract (guidlines) would have given me an idea.
Better chance next time

Crystal Reports - Oracle server connection

Hi Guys,
I'm back to struggling with Crystal Reports XI Release 2.
I'm trying to display a report that retrieves a set of data from an oracle database.
I've got the following scenarios:
- If I build a report using a JDBC connection and setting its properties from the crystal reports designer It works perfectly
- If i build the same report using a connection type called Oracle Server and check the option SAVE DATA WITH REPORT works fine
- The failure scenario is, creating the same report by using an Oracle server connection and disabling the SAVE DATA WITH REPORT option. I get the error message: Database logon failed. Database Vendor Error Code: 17002
I've set a JDNI datasource in Tomcat already, and still getting the same error, as well as including this tag in my application web.xml
<resource-ref>
<description>Oracle Datasource example</description>
<res-ref-name>oraclevt</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
Please, let me know if you have any hint regarding this issue as I've run out of ideas to sort it out.
Thank you.
Esteban.

Hey evnafets how r u doing? Thanks very much for your reply.
I checked the TNSName and looks fine, and it does match the JNDI name I created through the Tomcat Administration Tool.
I tested the JNDI connection a couple of days ago and it didn't come through, it keeps giving me an error, even though I've verified everything is properly set and configured. The error message is:
org.apache.commons.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL 'null'
This is the snipped code, si quite simple actually.
System.out.println("Starting initial context");
               Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
               Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
               DataSource ds = (DataSource)
               envCtx.lookup("jdbc/OFIC09FL");
               Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
               //... use this connection to access the database ...
               conn.close();
I've googled this issue and have not found a helpful solution. I guess this all the Crystal connection issue, don't you think? Any hints to make the jsp-jndi test work?
Regards,
Esteban.

Insert data 32K into a column of type LONG using the oracle server side jdbc driver

Hi,
I need to insert data of more than 32k into a
column of type LONG.
I use the following code:
String s = "larger then 32K";
PreparedStatement pstmt = dbcon.prepareStatement(
"INSERT INTO TEST (LO) VALUES (?)");
pstmt.setCharacterStream(1, new StringReader(s), s.length());
pstmt.executeUpdate();
dbcon.commit();
If I use the "standard" oracle thin client driver from classes_12.zip ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@kn7:1521:kn7a") every thing is working fine. But if I use the oracle server side jdbc driver ("jdbc:default:connection:") I get the exception java.sql.SQLException:
Datasize larger then max. datasize for this type: oracle.jdbc.kprb.KprbDBStatement@50f4f46c
even if the string s exceeds a length of 32767 bytes.
I'm afraid it has something to do with the 32K limitation in PL/SQL but in fact we do not use any PL/SQL code in this case.
What can we do? Using LOB's is not an option because we have client software written in 3rd party 4gl language that is unable to handle LOB's.
Any idea would be appreciated.

Import IMAGE type from SQL Server to BLOB in Oracle

Hello,
Is there a way to import a IMAGE type from SQL Server to BLOB type in Oracle from one table to another through a database link?
I'm waiting for an answer as soon as possible.
Best regards,
Florin
Edited by: Florin Manole on Sep 10, 2008 11:53 AM

Have you already configured a Heterogeneous Services and Generic Connectivity to create a database link from Oracle to SQL Server? I haven't tried copying IMAGE data from SQL Server via Heterogeous Services myself, but from the [data type map|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14232/apb.htm#sthref509] in the documentation, I would expect that it would work so long as the SQL Server ODBC driver maps the IMAGE data type to SQL_LONGVARBINARY

Basic query - check oracle server install type

How do I check if the Oracle 10g is configured as GENERAL_PURPOSE or TRANSACTION_PROCESSING or DATAWAREHOUSE?
I searched the forums but did not find anything specific for this info. This is an existing installation, I cant find the the installation log which will have this type of information. I am wondering if there are any parameters which can be looked at to determine the type or Oracle Configuration. Any tips - thanks.

Any tips - thanks.There really is no specific setting of the database that makes it any of the above. Choosing one of those templates will select certain SGA parameters to have different values that are 'best guess' optimized for particular database usage. But even those are just starting points and -- like I said -- best guesses.

Transaction Processing Monitors (TPMs). The topics covered in this article are

Explanation & Example
What is a Transaction Processing Monitor?
=========================================
Under UNIX, a Transaction Processing Monitor (TPM) is a tool that coordinates
the flow of transaction requests between front-end client processes that issue
requests and back-end servers that process them. A TPM is used as
the "glue" to coordinate transactions that require the services of several
different types of back-end processes, such as application servers and
resource managers, possibly distributed over a network.
In a typical TPM environment, front-end client processes perform screen
handling and ask for services from back-end server processes via calls to the
TPM. The TPM then routes the requests to the appropriate back-end server
process or server processes, wherever they are located on the network. Through
configuration information, the TPM knows what services are available and where
they are located. Generally, the back-end server processes are specialized so
that each one handles one type of requested service. The TPM provides
location transparency as well and can send messages through the network
utilizing lower-level transport services such as TCP/IP or OSF DCE.
The back-end servers process the requests as necessary and
return the results back to the TP monitor. The TP monitor then routes
these results back to the original front-end client process.
A TPM is instrumental in the implementation of truly distributed processing.
Front-end clients and back-end processes have no knowledge of each
other. They operate as separate entities, and it is this concept that provides
flexibility in application development. Front-end and back-end processes are
developed in the UNIX client-server style, with each side optimized for its
particular task. Server functionality can be deployed in stages, which makes
it easy to add functionality as needed later in the product cycle. It also
makes it easy to distribute both the front-end and back-end processes
throughout the network on the most appropriate hardware for the job. In
addition, multiple back-end server processes of the same type might be
activated to handle increasing numbers of users.
What is the X/Open Distributed Transaction Processing Model?
============================================================
The X/Open Transaction Processing working group has been working
for several years to establish a standard architecture to implement
distributed transaction processing on open systems. In late 1991,
X/Open published the initial Distributed Transaction Processing (DTP)
model specification and defined the first of several interfaces that
exist between the components of the model. Subsequently, other publications
and a revised model specification have been published.
An important function of the TPM in the X/Open DTP model is the
synchronization of any commits and rollbacks that are required to complete
a distributed transaction request. The Transaction Manager (TM) portion
of the TPM is the entity responsible for ordering when distributed commits
and rollbacks will take place. Thus, if a distributed application program
is written to take advantage of the TM portion of the TPM, then it,
and not the DBMS, becomes responsible for enabling the two-phase commit
process. Article 2 has more detail on this model.
How does the Oracle Server work with TPMs?
==========================================
When a TPM is used without invoking an X/Open TM component to manage the
transactions, Oracle Server needs no special functionality. The transaction
will be managed by Oracle itself. However, when the TPM X/Open TM component
is used to manage the transaction, the Oracle Server, that is the Oracle DBMS,
acts as a Resource Manager--a type of back-end process. In the case of
TPM-managed transactions, the TM needs a way to tell the RMs about the stages
of the transaction. This is done by a standard, X/Open defined interface
called XA. Article 2 of of this document gives more information about both
the X/Open model and Oracle7's use of XA.
Because the XA interface provides a standard interface between the TM and the
resource manager, it follows that the TM can communicate with any XA-compliant
resource manager (e.g., RDBMS), and, conversely, that a resource manager can
communicate with any XA-compliant TM. Thus, the Oracle Server, beginning with
Oracle7, works with any XA-compliant TM.
How should I position TPMs with my customer?
============================================
There's been a great deal of confusion about the need for TPM technology. Some
software suppliers, most notably IBM, will assert that a TPM like CICS is a
necessary requirement for high volume OLTP. Other vendors will assert that
there is seldom a need for such technology. And yet others promote TPMs as
providers of higher transaction throughput.
From Oracle's standpoint, customers might choose TPM technology under any of
the following conditions:
1. For heterogeneous database access, especially for 2PC capability
     This means that a TPM can be used to coordinate 2PC between Oracle
     DBMS and any other XA-compliant database, such as Informix. This
     does NOT provide SQL heterogeneity - SQL calls to Oracle DBMS may be
     different than SQL calls to Informix. The TPM handles the routing,
     communication, and two-phase commit portion of the transaction, but
     does not translate one type of SQL call into another.
2. For transaction monitoring and workload control
     The leading TPMs supply tools to actively manage the flow of
     transactions between clients and servers and to load balance the work
     load across all available processors on a network, not just on a
     single multi-processor system. Some TPMs also have the ability to
     dynamically bring up additional back-end services during peak work
     hours.
3. For more flexible application development and installation
     One of the key features of the DTP model is application modularity.
     Modularity, that is, the decomposition of a large program into small,
     easily defined, coded and maintained "mini-programs" makes it easy to
     add new functionality as needed. Modularity also makes it much easier
     to distribute the front-end and back-end processes and the resource
     managers across hardware throughout a network.
4. For isolating the client from details of the data model
By using the service oriented programming model, the client program
     is unaware of the data model. The service can be recoded to use a
     different one with no change to the client. To get this advantage,
     the application developer must explicitly code the server and client
     to fit the service model.
5. For connection of thousands of users
     TP Monitors, because of their three-tier architecture, can be used
     to connect users to an intermediate machine or machines, removing
     the overhead of handling terminal connections from the machine
     actually running the database. See Article 4 for more information.
There are also several cases where TPM technology is not the right answer.
These include:
1. If the customer is simply looking for a performance improvement
     The customer may have heard a theory that "higher performance
     is possible for large scale applications only if they use a
     TP monitor". First, no performance gain can be achieved for
     existing applications; in fact, they won't even run under a TP
     Monitor without recoding. Second, performance improvements have
     only been documented for large numbers of users, and "large"
     means many hundreds or thousands. Without a TP Monitor,
     Oracle Server can handle several hundred users with its normal
     two-task architecture and several times that using the Multi
     Threaded Server. For more on performance, see Article 4.
2. If the customer has made large investment in his existing Oracle
applications
     TP monitor applications must be designed from the ground up to take
     advantage of TP monitor technology. Current Oracle customers will find
     it difficult to "retrofit" a TP monitor to their existing applications.
     The Multi Threaded Server, on the other hand, allows the use of
     existing Oracle applications without change.
3. If the customer is committed to the Oracle tool set
     Currently, none of Oracle's front-end tools (Oracle Forms, etc.) is
     designed to work with TP monitors. It is possible to invoke a
     TP Monitor by using user exits. However, the fact that the TP
     Monitor model hides the data model from the client means that only
     the screen display parts of Forms can be used, not the automatic
     mapping from screen blocks to tables.
4. If the customer does not have a staff of experienced software engineers
     This is still very young technology for UNIX. There is not a lot of
knowledge in the industry on how to build TP monitor applications or
what techniques are most useful and which are not. Furthermore,
     integrating products from different vendors, even with the support
     of standard interfaces, is more complex than deploying an integrated
     all-Oracle solution. Because TP monitor technology is fairly
     complex, we recommend that you let the TP monitor supplier promote
     the virtues of their technology and differentiate themselves from
     their competitors.
What Oracle products must a customer purchase?
==============================================
If your customer is only interested in building Oracle-managed TP Monitor
transactions, the only Oracle products required are the Oracle Server
and the appropriate Oracle precompiler for whatever language the
application is being written in--most likely C or Cobol. If TPM-managed
transactions are required, the Oracle7 Server with the distributed option
is also required. SQL*Net is optional because the TPM takes care of the
network services. Article 2 describes when you would choose to have the TP
Monitor manage the transactions.
Where can my customer purchase a TPM?
=====================================
There are many vendors offering the UNIX TPM products. (Oracle does not
relicense TPMs.) Information on the most well known products is provided
below:
The following support XA:

There are also several third parties who are reselling the products listed
above.
In addition, Groupe Bull, Digital, Siemens-Nixdorf, and several other hardware
vendors are planning to redesign their proprietary TPMs to be XA-compliant and
suitable for use on UNIX systems.
Availability and Packaging
==========================
On what platforms is the XA Library available?
Oracle provides the XA interface with Oracle7 Server on all platforms that
support an XA-compliant TPM. Support for XA is included as part of the
Oracle7 Server distributed option and has no extra charge in and of itself.
Which version of XA does Oracle Server support?
Oracle7 Server supports the Common Application Environment (CAE) version of
XA, based on the specification published by X/Open in late 1991. It will
require that the TM also be at that level. This means Tuxedo /T version 4.2,
for example.
Oracle Server supports all required XA functions. There are some optional
features Oracle Server does not support, such as asynchronous operation.
None of those options affect application programming.

Oracle Server Working with UNIX TP Monitors
===========================================
Do I need XA to use Oracle Server with TPMs? If I don't use it, what are
the consequences?
There are a number of real applications running today with Oracle Server and
TPMs but not using XA. To use a TPM with Oracle without using XA, the user
would write an "application server" program which could handle one or more
"services". For example, a server program might handle a service called
"debit_credit". The key requirement is that the entire transaction,
including the "commit work", must be executed within a single service. This
is the restriction which XA will remove, as we'll see later. Each
server process can serially handle requests on behalf of different clients.
Because a server process can handle many client processes, this can
reduce the total number of active processes on the server system,
thereby reducing resource requirements and possibly increasing overall
throughput.
When Oracle is used with a TPM in this mode, we call it an Oracle-managed
transaction since the transaction commit or rollback is done with a SQL
statement.
What is XA? How does XA help Oracle7 work with UNIX TPMs?
XA is an industry standard interface between a Transaction Manager and a
Resource Manager. A Resource Manager (RM) is an agent which
controls a shared, recoverable resource; such a resource can be
returned to a consistent state after a failure. For example, Oracle7 Server
is an RM and uses its redo log and undo segments to be able to do this.
A Transaction Manager (TM) manages a transaction including the
commitment protocol and, when necessary, the recovery after a failure.
Normally, Oracle Server acts as its own TM and manages its own commitment
and recovery. However, using a standards-based TM allows Oracle7 to
cooperate with other heterogeneous RMs in a single transaction.
The commonly used TPMs include a TM component for this purpose. In order to
use the TM capability of the TPM rather than Oracle7's own transaction
management, the application uses a transaction demarcation API (called TX)
provided by the TPM rather than the SQL transaction control statements (e.g.
"commit work"). For each TX call, the TM then instructs all RMs, by the
appropriate XA commands, to follow the two-phase commit protocol. We
call this a TPM-managed transaction.
The following picture shows these interfaces within a monolithic application
program model. This is the model most commonly described in the
DTP literature. We'll see later what the picture looks like when we add
Oracle7 and when we switch to a modularized client-server application
program model.
          | |
          | |
          | Application Program (AP) |
          | |
          | |
               | | |                    |
Resource Manager API | | | |
(e.g. SQL) -----|--|------------- | TX API
          | | v |          |
          --------|-------------     |          |
          | v | | v
     ---------------------- | | --------------------
     | | | | | |
     | Resource | | |<----->| Transaction |
     | Managers | |--- | Manager |
     | (RMs) | |<-------->| (TM) |
     | |--- | |
     | |<----------->| |
     ---------------------- XA --------------------
                    Interface
The XA interface is an interface between two system components, not
an application program interface; the application program does
not write XA calls nor need to know the details of this interface.
The TM cannot do transaction coordination without the assistance of
the RM; the XA interface is used to get that assistance.
How does the DTP Model support client-server?
The above picture was actually simplified to make it easier to explain
the role of XA. In a true distributed transaction architecture, there
are multiple applications, each with an Application Program, a Resource
Manager, and a Transaction Manager. The applications communicate by
using a Communication Resource Manager. The CRM is generally provided
as a component of the TPM. It includes the transaction information when
it sends messages between applications, so that both applications can
act of behalf of the same transaction. The following picture
illustrates this:
Client Application
| AP |
||| | |
SQL ||| | TX | CRM
||V V | API
-||-- ----- |
| |V | | | V
--|-- |<---| | -----
| V || | | | |
----- |<----| TM |<-->| CRM |
| || | |XA+ | |
| RMs |<-----| | -----
| | XA | | A
----- ----- | Server Application

| | || | |XA+ | |
| | RMs |<-----| | -----
| | | XA | | A
| ----- ----- |
| |
| |
-------- |
/ |
/ |
/ |
Most TP Monitor products include both a TM and a CRM, and also provide
additional functions such as task scheduling and workload monitoring.
What is XA+? What does Oracle need to do to comply with it?
XA+ is an interface that lets the X/Open model actually be distributed
because it allows a communication resource manager to tell a TM on the
server that a message from a client just came in for a particular
transaction. Oracle is not currently planning to provide an X/Open
communication resource manager, so we don't have any plans right now
to do XA+. Version 2 of the DTP model paper from X/Open describes it.
The status of the current XA+ specification is "snapshot".
When would I choose an Oracle-managed transaction vs a TPM-managed
transaction?
Oracle Server is very efficient at managing its own transactions. If
the TPM manages the transaction, in general some additional overhead
will be incurred.
The two main reasons a customer might prefer to use a TPM-managed
transaction are as follows:
(1) He may need to update RMs from different vendors. Experience so far
has been that the most common case is wanting to update both Oracle and
a TP Monitor managed resource such as a transactional queuing service
in the same transaction (see Article 3).
(2) He may want to use the model of having several different services in
a transaction, even to the same database. For example, the
"debit_credit" service could be split into a "debit" service and a
"credit" service. This is a very attractive model, but this type of
modularity does exact a performance penalty (see Article 4).
Can I get a version of XA to run on Oracle Server version 6?
No, the XA functionality uses two underlying mechanisms in the Oracle
Server which are not available in version 6: two-phase commit and
session switching. The upi calls for these functions do not not exist
in version 6.
When would I use XA vs Oracle7 to coordinate all-Oracle distributed
transactions?
Generally speaking, Oracle Server should be used to coordinate all-Oracle
distributed transactions. The main reason for using XA to coordinate
transactions would be that you want to use the TP Monitor service-oriented
architecture. That is, you would like to construct an application built of
services and service requests in order to benefit from the modularity and
workload control such an environment provides.
TP Monitor Application Architecture
===================================
What might a TP Monitor application look like?
Most TPM applications will consist of two more more programs, where
there are front-end client programs which request services and back-end
server programs which provide services. In this case, the TPM supplies an
additional capability which is transactional communication. The client
describes the boundaries of the transaction, through the use of the TX API,
and the TPM relays that transaction information to each requested service.
The overall application structure generally looks like the following in the
client-server model. The "TP Monitor Services" box is not necessarily a
process. It could be one or more processes, or just libraries coordinating
through shared memory. Each client process and server process could be on
a different machine. Normally, the application server processes would be
connected to their Oracle Server processes using the IPC driver; the TPM
would be used to deliver messages between application client processes on
one machine and application server processes on another. However, the
application server processes could also be connected with the standard
Oracle SQL*Net to shadow processes on different machines. This might be
useful if one of the databases was on a machine which did not support TPMs.

Application client programs might be written in C and be linked with
TPM libraries. Alternatively, they could use a screen painter product.
Application server programs would be written in Pro*C or Pro*COBOL and
be linked with TPM libraries, the normal Oracle7 user-side libraries
and libxa.a. The Oracle7 Server process is the regular Oracle7 executable.
More complicated application architectures can also be constructed. Most of
the TPMs allow a server to become a client of another service, so you can
involve additional servers.
Could I use Oracle7's Multi Threaded Server as the SQL*Net connection in the
previous picture?
Yes, but that will not be needed in many cases. For example, both
application server processes in the previous picture could talk to a
single Oracle7 Server process through the Multi Threaded Server in the
previous picture. However, since the TPM architecture typically reduces
the number of server processes, the reduction in processes using Multi
Threaded Server may be less significant than in an architecture without
TPMs. If the application will use database links, however, then MTS will
be required.
How do I write an Oracle TP Monitor application?
The actual API used to talk to the TPM varies between vendors, so you need
to get the documentation from the vendor. However, all have a way to
indicate where a transaction begins and ends and a way to send a request
and receive a response from a client to a server. Some use an RPC model,
some use a pseudo-RPC model, and some use a send/receive model. The TX API
described earlier is a subset of the TPM API as defined by each of
the TPM providers.
The client program and server program might look something like the
following examples. We h (such as Tuxedo's

Error while importing dump file to Oracle server

Hi All,
I'm pretty new to Oracle and I need to do the following job:
- import data from dump file to Oracle server
- then export it into CSV format to load to our web system
Oracle dump file is called EXPDAT.DMP and it is placed in the default location, so no need to specify it. Here I'm trying to do the 1st step:
impdp SYSTEM/XXXXXX REMAP_SCHEMA=DATA01:SYSTEM
And then I'm getting the following errors:
Connected to: Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
Master table "SYSTEM"."SYS_IMPORT_FULL_01" successfully loaded/unloaded
Starting "SYSTEM"."SYS_IMPORT_FULL_01": SYSTEM/******** REMAP_SCHEMA=DATA01:SYSTEM
Processing object type TABLE_EXPORT/TABLE/TABLE
ORA-39083: Object type TABLE failed to create with error:
ORA-00959: tablespace 'K_DATA' does not exist
But tablespace 'K_DATA' exists in Oracle database (I've created it manually). What does it mean? Is it a permission issue? Or may be there is more simple way to accomplish my task? Please help me! Thank you!

Create the user DATA01 in your database, with sufficient quota on tablespace K_DATA. DO NOT import another schema's objects into SYSTEM. If you must REMAP_SCHEMA to something other than DATA01, create a user other than SYSTEM to receive it.

Query handled OK on Oracle server but XSQL Servlet raises OracleXMLSQLException

After dropping and recreating certain object types, and then using ALTER TYPE on an object dependent on those object types, XSQL Servlet raises exception for a query that is handled fine in the Oracle Server itself (ie, in SQL*Plus) as in the following test case:
create or replace type o_object_inner as object( char1 char(1) )
create or replace type n_nested_table as table of o_object_inner
create or replace type o_object_outer as object (nNestedTab n_nested_table)
For above, the following query encounters no problems on Oracle Server or in XSQL servlet:
Select o_object_outer(NULL) as "theOuterObj" from dual
But then if object types are modified as follows:
drop type o_object_inner force
create or replace type o_object_inner as object( char1 char(1) ) --same as above
drop type n_nested_table force
create or replace type n_nested_table as table of o_object_inner --same as above
alter type o_object_outer compile
The above query now encounters no problems in SQL*Plus but generates exception in XSQL servlet as follows:
oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Internal Error: Unable to resolve name
More complex cases generated the above exception and/or the following exception:
oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Internal Error: Invalid ADT attribute
Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes,
I changed most of the cursor functions to cast(multiset()). Sometimes i divided a big query into two or three queries (when there was cursor nested in a cursor). It was one day work for me. Don't forget to change the tags with ROW to ITEM in your xsl-stylesheets.

Oracle server on a desktop

Does the Oracle server database have a version to operate on a desktop pc?
If so, what would be recommended for cpu processor speed, memory and OS?
(If I do this, it would most likely be on Windows XP Professional.)
I currently have Oracle 9i running on a IBM AIX server and it needs to be upgraded.

I use CMP with java data type String mapped to nvarchar2 data type to oracle.when
i try to create a bean it throws "java.sql.SQLException: ORA-12704: character set

XML Data Type in oracle

I am a developer in .NET with having experience working on SQL server.
I want to know whether there is an xml data type in oracle.
I have an xml in my front end and want to insert record in the database for the values inside that xml. What i am doing currently is that i am retreiving the value in the xml in the .NET code and passing the values a parameter to a stored procedure in oracle. what i want to do is to pass the xml directly to stored procedure in oracle and retrieve the values there (using Xquery) and insert the records.
This is possible with SQL server 2005. I want to know is this possible with Oracle.
Thanks and regards,
Sameer J Narkar

Wonderful - a documentation question!
You will find your answer by going to the general documentation portal at http://tahiti.oracle.com following the path to the database version of interest, and looking in the SQL Reference manual. Chapter 2 discusses all data types, including the several supported for XML.
In addition, under the 'Books' tab, there are several XML-developer specific reference manuals.
(Oracle's support for XML generally blows away the others. The price for the extreme flexibility is an ease-of-use hit.)

Thanks.

Hi,
Step 1: Create an entry for the External database in DBCON table using Trxn: DBCA.
Table: DBCON (Description of Database Connections)
Field Name     Description                     Value (For: E.g.:)
CON_NAME     Logical name            RAJ
DBMS          Database system        MSS
USER_NAME     Database user          <username>
PASSWORD     Password           <pwd>/<pwd>
CON_ENV          Database-specific information
connection
MSSQL_SERVER=depotserver MSSQL_DBNAME=HOF_INDORE
DB_RECO                              Availability type for an open database connect
Step 2: Now you can write code to connect to the external database
Your Sample code can be something like this
EXEC SQL.
    CONNECT TO 'RAJ' AS 'V'
ENDEXEC.
EXEC SQL.
    SET CONNECTION 'V'
ENDEXEC.
*- Get the data from MS-SQL Server
EXEC SQL.
    open C1 for
      select
          loc_id,
          loc_name,
          loc_state
      from ho_loc_mast
ENDEXEC.
