Unable to load into XMLTYPE column

Question

HI Gentlemen,
I have considerable difficulties with loading XML content into an XMLTYPE column. Here are the annotated schemas:
SQL> select any_path from resource_view where any_path like '%GKSADMIN/ICD%';
ANY_PATH                                                                       
/sys/schemas/GKSADMIN/ICD                                                      
/sys/schemas/GKSADMIN/ICD/datentypen_V1.40.xsd                                 
/sys/schemas/GKSADMIN/ICD/ehd_header_V1.40.xsd                                 
/sys/schemas/GKSADMIN/ICD/ehd_root_V1.40.xsd                                   
/sys/schemas/GKSADMIN/ICD/icd_body.xsd                                         
/sys/schemas/GKSADMIN/ICD/icd_header.xsd                                       
/sys/schemas/GKSADMIN/ICD/icd_root.xsd                                         
/sys/schemas/GKSADMIN/ICD/keytabs_V1.40.xsd                                    
8 Zeilen ausgewählt.And here is the relational table:
SQL> describe icd
Name                                      Null?    Typ
ID                                                 CHAR(2)
XML_DOCUMENT                                       SYS.XMLTYPE(XMLSchema "ICD/i
                                                    cd_root.xsd" Element "ehd")
                                                    STORAGE Object-relational TY
                                                    PE "ICD$ICD_ROOT_TYP"Now, when I try to load an instance document (which has proven OK with xmloracle), the following happens:
SQL> @loadxmlfileascolumn_int
Geben Sie einen Wert für source_directory ein: c:\gks\kbv\c\icd\xml
alt   1: create or replace directory SOURCE_DIR as '&source_directory'
neu   1: create or replace directory SOURCE_DIR as 'c:\gks\kbv\c\icd\xml'
Verzeichnis wurde erstellt.
Geben Sie einen Wert für xmltypetable ein: icd
alt   4:   INSERT INTO &XMLTypeTable
neu   4:   INSERT INTO icd
Geben Sie einen Wert für id ein: 01
Geben Sie einen Wert für instancedocument ein: icdtest.xml
alt   5:     VALUES (&id, XMLType(bfilename('SOURCE_DIR', '&InstanceDocument'),
neu   5:     VALUES (01, XMLType(bfilename('SOURCE_DIR', 'icdtest.xml'),
declare

SQL> spool offSince the schemas are very big, I took only relevant parts of them to show:
    <ehd:document_type_cd V="ICD" DN="ICD-Stammdatei" S="1.2.276.0.76.5.100"/>
    <ehd:service_tmr V="2010-01-01..2010-12-31"/>
    <ehd:origination_dttm V="2009-11-10+01:00"/>Guilty is allegedly origination_dttm with its time zone. However, consider the type resolution below that leads to xs:date. This should be able to accommodate the time zone as well.
     <!-- ************************ origination_dttm_typ ********************************* -->
     <xs:element name="origination_dttm" type="origination_dttm_typ">
          <xs:annotation>
               <xs:documentation>Erstellungsdatum</xs:documentation>
          </xs:annotation>
     </xs:element>
     <xs:complexType name="origination_dttm_typ">
          <xs:complexContent>
               <xs:extension base="v_date_typ"/>
          </xs:complexContent>
     </xs:complexType>
     v_date_typ: enthält nur den V-Attribut für einfache Datums-Angaben
     <!-- ************************ v_date_typ ********************************** -->
     <xs:complexType name="v_date_typ">
          <xs:attribute name="V" type="xs:date" use="required"/>
     </xs:complexType>When I delete the time zone portion in the instance document, it again works.
(However, other errors will then be reported--another issue.)
Can you help me to find out what is wrong? Is it my error or a bug?
Thanks, kind regards,

Answer 1

This is Oracle feature (at least in 11g R2). See Working with Timezones from XML DB Developer's Guide: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e16659/xdb05sto.htm#autoId62
The chapter also includes an example how to adjust the schema with Oracle specific annotation.
