Using XML functions in SQL Developer

Hi,
I'm using OSD 1.5.3 on a WinXP machine. I love OSD and use it every day! But I think i found a little bug. When you use some Oracle XML functions like (XMLELEMENTS and XMLAGG) in your query (these functions return CLOB values) it hangs OSD.
For Example:
SELECT XMLELEMENT("Relation",
XMLELEMENT("Name", 'Dennis'),
XMLELEMENT("DateOfBirth", '09/28/1975')
) as Relation
FROM DUAL;
Are there some parameters I can set to prevent this, or is this a bug?
Kind Regards,
D.

Your query works fine for me from SQL Dev 1.5.3 (JDK 1.6.0_06), using either a JDBC or TNS connection (Oracle Client 9.2) to a 10.2.0.3 DB. Another thing which I have no idea if it is relevant (someone else may be able to say) is the following line from Help > About > Properties:
oracle.xdkjava.compatibility.version 9.0.4
Given that it works fine over TNS connections from SQL*Plus and PL/SQL Developer, I would assume that it is something related to your SQL Developer setup, unless you are using a different version of the Oracle client for these tools.

Loading XML file in SQL Developer become ONE ROW !!

Hi:
I load the XML file to SQL Developer.
I found out that the XML files data are in one ROW?
Am I right?
Please let me know please
Sem

Hi RAGS1109,
If our XML data starts to get more complicated (multiple levels of elements / attributes), we start getting more outputs, we will have to join those outputs with a merge join transform.
Please refer to the following document how to dealing with multiple outputs for XML data source:

Problem using extract function (PL/SQL) with "&#34"

Hi,
When I use extract function (PL/SQL), it does not transform well "&#34". Insted of returning ' " ' , it returns ' &quot '.
I know this works changing the code replacing xml.extract for SELECT extractvalue(xml,'//A/text()') into v from dual;
But Is there another way to do this using PL/SQL? any patch, option..?
Regards

Had to use my website to demonstrate the code...
As said, whatever I try here the code gets automatically converted...

Problems using Quick Migrate in SQL Developer 1.5 for MySQL to Oracle 10g

Hi all,
I am trying to use SQL Developer 1.5 migration tools (Quick Migrate) to perform online capture and build source model to migrate from MySQL 5.x to Oracle 10g on Windows platform. I get these errors and the Quick Migrate process fails:
oracle.dbtools.metadata.persistence.PersistableObject.doInsert(PersistableObject.java:238)
I did a search and used the sqldeveloper.cmd script but still fails. Then I created a new database and truncated the repository. I now get the above error plus two new ones listed below:
oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:112)
Error loading nls:OALL8 is in an inconsistent state
Error occurred during capture: Protocol violation
It fails during the capture process for MySQL 5.1 database
when it begins to capture the tables from MySQL.
Does anyone know how to resolve these issues when migrating from MySQL to Oracle 10g using Quick Migrate with SQL Developer 1.5 release?

Hi all,
I put the following in my sqldeveloper.cmd file:
SET ORACLE_HOME=%CD%
What is very confusing is that with SQL Developer 1.5, there are several levels and several SQL Developer executables! I am really not sure which of these to use:
I created the SQLDeveloper 1.5 directory called SQLDeveloper1_5 on Windows:
1) cd C:\sqldeveloper1_5\sqldeveloper-5338
there exists a sqldeveloper.exe
2) cd c:\sqldeveloper1_5\sqldeveloper-5338\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper.exe
3) cd c:\sqldeveloper1_5\sqldeveloper-5338\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloer\bin\sqldeveloper.exe
Which SQLDeveloper 1.5 executable should I be using and where should I place the
sqldeveloper.cmd file?
Also I did try to use a different database and schema for the repository with Quick Migrate but it appears a bug exists in SQL Developer 1.5 version that causes errors with Quick Migrate for MySQL to Oracle? Is this correct?
As an update, I ran the following commands:
cd to
c:\sqldeveloper1_5\sqldeveloper-5338\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin
sqldeveloper.cmd sqldeveloper.exe
Start sqldeveloper.exe
Perform standard capture for MySQL using the new mig2 schema as the new repository
It starts the capture but fails on the errors below:
Error loading nls:OALL8 is in an inconsistent state
UPDATE
============================
I tried this again and it worked with the exception of one error message listed below:
Here are the steps that I followed:
1. Create a Windows cmd script
Put the following entries in the script:
SET ORACLE_HOME=%CD%
save the command windows script as sqldeveloper.cmd
Copy this script to the base installation directory for SQLDeveloper
Example:
1. cd c:\SQLDeveloper1_5\sqldeveloper-5338\sqldeveloper
2. Start SQLDeveloper with the command script that you created earlier
Example:
Open a Windows shell prompt window and execute the following scripts:
a) sqldeveloper.cmd sqldeveloper.exe
b) sqldeveloper.exe
3) In SQL Developer 1.5
From the Migrate menu,
a) Delete current repository and create a new schema in Oracle target database call it mig2.
b) Then create a new repository in SQL Developer 1.5
c) Right mouse click on the MySQL 5.x database and choose capture
It worked with the exception of one error message:
o.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
Error while registering Oracle JDBC Diagnosability MBean.
So it looks like something is screwed up with my JDBC drivers and configuration for MySQL. How do I diagnose the JDBC driver issue for MySQL?
Thanks!!!

Error using Data Miner on SQL Developer

Dear all.
I'm trying to use Data Miner on SQL Developer (3.1.06) with Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 -
64bit Production, with the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options.
I created a project, a workflow, a data source, a classification model and connected them.
I tried to show the Decision Tree generated as described in the tutorial "Using Oracle Data Miner 11g Release 2".
But, I receive the message "It's not possible to load the data mining model because it does not exist" in a dialog box entitled "Model not found".
It seems that something was missing either during installation or granting my user.
Does anybody have seen this message and know what causes it?
Any other suggestion is welcome.
Regards,
Duncan
PUCRS-Brazil

Hi Mark.
Thank you on replying my post.
I'm not the DBA of Oracle repository here. So, if possible, I'd like to address my issue without having to do anything in it.
I'll try to state better what we have here.
When I try to use latest SQL Developer version, 11.2.1.1.7.42, it got me a message stating current repository isn't compatible with this SQLDev version
Repository version is: 11.2.1.1.3
I don't know what type of upgrade SQL Developer wants to do...
About your other questions.
"Is the model not found error occurring for all models or just the DT model?" -- The error occurs for all 4 standard models: SVM, GLM, NB and DT. But, I'm able to see all other options: "show tests results", "Compare tests results".
You did not report that the workflow failed, so you must be seeing a successful completion status for each of the nodes. -- Yes, all steps are executed and finished OK.
Are you using a proxy user or some other connection definition other than a standard connection. -- No.
There is currently some problems supporting proxy based connections that will be fixed in a upcoming SQL Developer release.
So, if you can provide me some details on how your connection is defined, that will be helpful.
How was the product installed and the user granted rights? -- I need to ask PUCRS DBA team to answer these questions.
Was it done through the UI or by running the scripts in the dataminer/scripts directory?
Lastly, what is your client operating system and are you using the SQL Dev 64 bit or 32 bit release? -- I tested in 2 different computers, both with Windows 7 Professional. In my notebook, it's 64 bits OS version.
Thank you for your attention and kind reply.

Duncan

Hi Vikram,
I need some more help from your side.
It would be great help if you will let me know that how to extract the data from particular XML tag.
As of now i want to extract particular XML node by applying that query and the result i am getting is: <applicationID>Engage</applicationID>
I just want to know if I want to extract only data from this XML node i.e Engage instaed of *<applicationID>Engage</applicationID>*
Then what will be the query?
Thanks in Advance

On the oracle blogs it was suggested that this can be achived by using XML function in the expression operator.
But while using them,OWB is not recongnising these XML function.

I have to use XML in PL/SQL

Problem using XML function in procedures (internal error )

Hi all,
I use the XML function in a stored procedures but when i compile these i have this error PLS-00801: internal error (74806).
The strangeness is that the single instruction launched from sql plus type
SELECT XMLElement("? xml",xmlattributes('1.0' as "version")) FROM dual; it's right.
thank.

The Db version is 9.2.0.1
This is the source:
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure bi_create_XML_invoice as

Unable to use backspace key in SQL Developer

hi
I am unable to use backspace or arrow keys in SQL worksheet using SQL developer.
Can any one help me out...?
You can also contact me on [email protected]
regards
Ahsan

Hi,
to give a worst case. I downloaded actual releases for JDeveloper and SQLDeveloper for MacOS and on my Mac this case is totally unsolved. I tried to check he settings within the preferences.xml but no "googled" solution works to get SPACE and BACKSPACE to work.
I will try the older versions.
I previously used my migrated versions from my older Linux system and everything worked fine. Installing the integrated MacOS versions is fine but using the linux way (using the shell command) seems to work. Hope this will help to find the bug within the packages.
Bye,

No,
You can not call PL/SQL functions in DIRECT PATH mode, also this is documented, so you should not need to ask.

Import data using Excel and Oracle SQL Developer - I need some help

Dear friends,
I'm using Oracle SQL Developer 1.5.1 and I need to import an Excel file into a database table. If I try to import this file in XLS format, fields and headers are correctly being shown and separated, but if I press "Next" button, it simply doesn't do anything - it stays stopped.
I did some search here in this forum and it seems to me that, when you try to import a file via XLS format, SQL Developer has bugs. Is this correct?
If I save the same file in CSV format and try to import the same file, it goes ahead, but SQL Developer is not separating fields and headers correctly. It combines all CSV fields into one - let's say Column0 and fields 1;TEST;01/01/2000 below the same Column0.
Saving the file in CSV format is not a problem, taking a very little time. But I don't know how to make SQL Developer import it correctly. Could somebody please help me? Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Franklin

Hello K,
yes, you're right. I found the following topic after posting this question here.
Re: After update to 1.5.1, import from Excel fails
I downloaded version 1.5.0 and I'll use it whenever I import data from Excel.
Thanks,
