Using PL/Sql And XML

Hello,
Am trying to use the xml packages from pl-sql. Could someone please tell me what priviliges are required to use these package fully. I also guess that public synonyms should be set up.

I have checked that the XML parser is installed using the suggested select statement. It seems ok.
Logging in as dba user, using Desc xmlparser is ok.
Created user XmlTesting, granted the roles javauserpiv and javasyspriv to this user. Desc xmlparser give error sys.xmlparser does not exist.
More thoughts appreciated.

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by ilho Ye ([email protected]):
You first need to install XML parser for java since XML parser for PL/SQL depends on it.
Try this SQL and see if Oracle XML parser is already installed on your machine.
select substr(dbms_java.longname(object_name), 1, 30) AS class, status
from all_objects
where object_type = 'JAVA CLASS'
and object_name = 'dbms_java.shortname('oracle/xml/parser/v2/DOMParser');
If you see the result that status is valid and class is 'oracle/xml/parser/v2/DOMParser.
Then you are good to go.
secondly try this after connecting sqlplus
describe xmlparser
If you do not get anything, then you need to install XML parser for PL/SQL.
You can download it in which there is a readme that would help you to install from technet.
Also make sure that you grant javauserpriv and javasyspriv privilege to the one who is going to execute XML.
When you finish up installing all this, try the command, describe xmlparser again.
If you now see the result, you are all set.
From now on you can run PL/SQL to access and retrieve XML.
Hope this helps !!! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Reading SNMP packet using PL/SQL and XML

Hi,
Is it possible to read the content of a SNMP packet using MIB file converted into XML. I know it's possible to develop a java program which can collect SNMP packets from the network and inserts them into Oracle. The problem after that is how to read the content using MIB library file. It's possible to convert the MIB file into XML file but the problem is to create s PL/SQL block which can read the XML file and based on the content to translate the information from the SNMP packet. Is it possible?

Thank you for the reply!
I have converted oracle MIB into xml using prtg's import tool. As far as I see prtg also uses xml as you can see below.
So how I can translate string for example 1.3.6.1.2.1.39.1.1.1.1.1111111111 using xml and pl/sql?
Can you give me direction where to start?

Could we use embedded SQL for XML in .pc ?

Hi,
Can we use embedded SQL for XML in .pc ?
<1> assume we have run SQL statements in Oracle9i:

<2> Could we directly translate it in .pc as usually:
<outlined, not exactly)
int emp_number = 1;
XML_Data emprec; /* ?????? */
EXEC SQL SELECT M.Xml_Column.GETCLOBVAL() as XML_Data
INTO :emprec INDICATOR :emprec_ind

XDK for PL/SQL and XML Parser for PL/SQL

Is there a difference between the terms:
XDK for PL/SQL
and
XML Parser for PL/SQL V2
or are they the same thing...?
cheers,

XDK stands for XML Developer's Kit. There are Oracle XDKs for Java, C, C++, and PL/SQL. These development kits contain building blocks for reading, manipulating, transforming, and viewing XML documents.
XML Parser is one component of XDK. Other components of XDK are
XSLT Processor, XSU, XSQL Servlet, XML Class Generator, etc.
For more information on XDK and its components please refer to:

Which way to go with PL/SQL and XML

Hi fellows,
I have a general question to XML on Oracle.
I read already some parts of the three manuals coming with the online documentation of 9i
- XML developer kit XDK
- XML API - XDK and Oracle XML DB
- XML database developer guide Oracle XML DB.
Also I wrote already a PL/SQL package using DBMS_XMLGEN to generate XML data from relational Oracle tables.
Actually I like the simplicity how I can create XML data with this DBMS package but I still missing the features like using a DTD/XML Schema to generate XML data.
I still don't know what the best way would be to use these features of XML in Oracle.
Hopefully someone can give me some advise and possibly can point to some code samples so that I can see the proper use of the package.
How about DBMS_XMLQuery?
To use this package, would that be the better solution for my problem?
Any comment much appreciated.
Thanks
Fred

Hi Fred,
Having written a fair amount of PL/SQL code to generate and process XML in the past years, I can give you my opinion on the matter. If you look at the PL/SQL API's Oracle has been written to handle XML, you will find two types/categories of API's: PL/SQL code based on wrapping java (i.e. DBMS_XMLQUERY) and PL/SQL code based on C (i.e. DBMS_XMLGEN). The first category is usually slower, so I tend to use these only if there are no other options. You can measure execution times by executing the same query using both DBMS_XMLGEN. vs. DBMS_XMLQUERY.
I usually tend to store xml into relational tables by extracting the xml document in PL/SQL using the functions XMLType data type offers (i.e. extract, existNode, getStringVal, etc) function rather than using DBMS_XMLSTORE for flexibility reason (more control over what's being stored).
Besides the PL/SQL API's there are some rather neat SQL functions to handle XML (i.e. XMLElement, XMLForest, XMLAgg, XMLAttribute, etc) I like to use to build XML documents that are to complex for DBMS_XMLGEN. But, on the downside, I think these functions might cost considerable amounts of CPU, because behind the scene a DOM-tree is build in the SGA/UGA(?), especially on large XML structures or high concurrency systems. I have not measured this yet, so I say might.
Further, what I think is lacking from the Oracle API's in general is handing of CDATA sections and the fact that some XML functions default generate "pretty-printing" XML, which can not be switched of as far as I know. In my opinion XML should never be "pretty printed", because XML basically is about data transportation, not about lay-out. CDATA sections are not handled, even worse "<![CDATA[ ]]>" is being escaped (to &lt and &gt) and not properly interpreted when processed back to text.

How to generate formated (defined position) text and image using pl/sql and

Hello,
I need to use pl/sql to create a dynamic html page (or image , if possible) with defined positions for text and bar code. It is necessary because the page will be printed and it should be able to be read by one other process , OCR, that needs to have all the data in defined positions.
Any suggestion are welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Emilio

I don't think it's that easy. Notice that if you put the insert into an actual pl/sql block, you don't get the correct column pointer anymore.
BEGIN insert into bob(col1, col2) values (123.12, 12345.12); END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01438: value larger than specified precision allows for this column

SQL and XML Schema

I hope this is the right forum to post. I was wondering if there are any good tutorials or books on SQL to XML?
Basically I need to query accounts in the state of North Carolina that have recieved a certain document in the past day. That is a very easy task to do in SQL however the state of NC wants us to report our findings in a specific XML schema using nodes.
Luckily I have the schema which was given by the state of NC however not sure how to get my query to fit into the XML schema. Just wondering from a beginners perspective.
Sorry for the newbie questions.

The [XML DB Forum|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=410714&tstart=0] is a good place to start.

Quiz using Java Script and XML file

Hi,
I am student from Liverpool in the UK. I am currently making a "quiz" website that links to an xml document, and brings back results of how the user has done.
I have made the website, and linked it to the xml document, but I can't get javascript to tell the user how many answers they got correct. Can you help me?
A friend told me to use a function, and then link that function to a box that, when clicked, brings up an alert box telling the user how many they got correct.
I know this is probably very simple, but I would be very grateful for help in which exact commands to write that will bring up an alert box when the user clicks on a "Submit" button. This alert box should bring up how many correct answers (out of 10) the user obtained.
Thanks for your time,
Matthew Tickle.

Java and Javascript are completely different. You probobally wont get much here... maybe u should try to find a javascript forum or look at some tutorials: http://tutorials.findtutorials.com/index/category/20

WCF-SQL and XML EXPLICIT How to generate a schema from add Generated Items...

Hi
I have a stored procedure in which it returns a select that I have configured using FOR XML EXPLICIT. The query returns in a single column the exact XML that I require.
However, When I add generated items (outbound) in Visual Studio against the SP it only gives me a single element which is the column name (a guid) not the structure of the xml. I have tried FOR XML EXPLICIT, XMLDATA with no luck
Surely there is a way to generate the schema within biztalk for a custom XML structure I want to create.
Thanks
Biztalk Developer

Yes, it is generating you un typed message for the stored procedure . As you are using WCF SQL adapter you don't need to specify the XML auto clause inside your Stored Procedure .
You can also take referece from below MSDN blog

Different query behaviour (index or no index use) between sql and pl/sql

Hi All,
I have a query inside a cursor in a procedure, let's say:
cursor c_emp (b_dept_no in number)
is
select *
from emp
where dept_no = b_dep_no;
There is an non unique index on dept_no.
In this procedure i first loop through another cursor which gets the dept_no and with this dept_no i go into a for loop for the c_emp cursor.
When i run this procedure i see that the explain plan of above query gives me a Full table Scan on EMP, eventhough there is a index on dept_no and there are 1.3 million records in the em table. When i take the above query and explain it seperately, it uses the index on dept_no.
I have rebuild/analyzed the tables and indexes, nothing seems to work. Even hints in the procedure cursor are not helping at all.
I'm using Oracle Database 10.2.0.1.0 and have never seen such behaviour before.
Anyone an idea what is going on here?
Kind regards,
Dave

Hoi Rob,
it's like i have three tables. The first i have to get data from for my output, then for every record of table one there are one or more records in table 2 and table 3.
I had to create a xml file and it looks like this:
<Table1 Record 1>
<Name>...</Name>
etc...
<Table2 Record 1>
</Table2 Record 1>
<Table2 Record 2>
</Table2 Record 2>
<Table3 Record 1>
</Table3 Record 1>
<Table3 Record 2>
</Table3 Record 2>
<Table1 Record 2>
etc.etc.etc.
So that's why i programmed:
for r_1 in c_table1 loop
for r_2 in c_table2(r_1.dept_no) loop
end loop;
for r_3 in c_table3(r_1.dept_no) loop
end loop;
end loop;
And when i look at the first record,
it has 2 records in table2 en 16 records in table3. So nothing huge.
For now i'm unable to trace the session. I will try to post the tkprof later.
Kind regards,
Dave

Dynamic Photo Gallery in Flash using AS3.0 and XML, but it doesn't work and missed up my app.

I am creating an iPad app using AS3. The app contains three sections.
One of those sections (chocolate sources)contains Dynamic Photo Gallery using XML. The photos, thumbnails, and text in this section are loaded from XML.
I faced may issue when I tried to run this app:
The gallery photos didn't show up
The thumbnails (buttons to navigate the photo gallery) didn't show up at all. (The thumbnails should show up under the photo gallery box.)
The text doesn't show up (the text should be in every photo as describtion)

var loader:Loader = new Loader ();
loader.load(new URLRequest ("pictures/coca1.jpg"));
gal.addChild(loader);
function theMosover(m:MotionEvent):void{
          m.currentTarget.alpha = 0.5;
function theMosout (m:MouseEvent):void{
          m.currentTarget.alpha = 1.0;
function onMosClick(m:MouseEvent):void{
          var loader:Loader = new Loader();
          loader.load(new URLRequest("pictures/" + m.currentTarget.details + ".jpg"));
          gal.addChild(loader);
          txfe.text = xmlFile.image.details[int(m.currentTarget.details) -1];
I need an urgent help to fix the errors and make this section work well.
thanks.

try:
txfe.text = xmlFile.section[int(m.currentTarget.details) -1].details;
instead of
txfe.text = xmlFile.image.[int(m.currentTarget.details) -1];
and add your thumbs to gal, not the stage. when you're done with the gallery, remove gal.

Implementing snapshot replication using pl/sql and dbms_sql

Hi All,
I'm trying to implement snapshot refresh programmatically using a control table to trigger the event and a separate pl/sql stored procedure for each table refresh. I can drop and re-create the snapshots outside of pl/sql with no problem. Once in pl/sql, I'm using the dbms_sql package to wrap the snapshot drop and create statements. The drop statement works fine but I'm getting the following error on the create statement:
BEGIN pk_manage_data_replication.sp_refresh_lcanswertype; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_SQL", line 824
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SQL", line 32
ORA-06512: at "AIRES_REFP.PK_MANAGE_DATA_REPLICATION", line 75
ORA-06512: at line 1
The stored procedure code is as follows:
procedure sp_refresh_lcanswertype is
cid integer;
begin
-- drop the snapshot
cid := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
dbms_sql.parse (cid, 'drop snapshot lcanswertype', dbms_sql.v7);
dbms_sql.close_cursor(cid);
-- recreate the snapshot
cid := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
dbms_sql.parse (cid, 'create snapshot lcanswertype
pctfree 5
tablespace lcdata as
select id
,possibleanswers
,creatorptr
,datecreated
,pk_manage_data_replication.sf_get_moddate(''LCANSWERTYPE'',moddate) moddate
from lcanswertype@airess1', dbms_sql.v7);
dbms_sql.close_cursor(cid);
end sp_refresh_lcanswertype;
Any ideas???
Thanks,
Jim

An old chestnut. You have been granted the privilege CREATE SNAPSHOT through a role (probably CONNECT). We can only build procedures (and views) on privileges that have been granted to the uuser directly.

JDev 10.1.3 Prod Bug in Structure Window when using PL/SQL and Stored Types

Using JDev 10.1.3 build 3673
When loading/editing a PL/SQL package with code like the following:
rec := NEW Record001Row;
Where Record001Row is a stored type on the database gives an "Error Expecting ;" in the JDev Structure Window. Once the above line is commented out, the PL/SQL program structure appears in the Structure Window. I can then uncomment the above line and the structure of the PL/SQL program stays, but the "Error Expecting ;" still appears.

Logged the bug 5010466.
Thank you for reporting this.
