XML Data into table

Question

Hello
Sorry, for the next question, but it doens't wort :-(...
I want to insert this xmldata into a table:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="no" ?>
<aps:Operations xmlns:aps="Software" aps_version="V4.02-03.00" aps_versionl="4020300">
<Event>
<name>Dispatcher</name>
<dtsysl>20110428</dtsysl>
<hrsysl>95835</hrsysl>
<dtcptl>20110428</dtcptl>
<nusesi>1</nusesi>
<DSP>
<step>WAIT</step>
<state>Start</state>
</DSP>
</Event>
</aps:Operations>
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY test_dir AS '/oracle/temp/';
CREATE TABLE test_xml
(name VARCHAR (40),
dtsysl DATE,
hrsysl NUMBER,
dtcptl DATE,
nusesi NUMBER,
step VARCHAR (40),
state VARCHAR (40) );
INSERTINTO test_xml (name, dtsysl,hrsysl,dtcptl,nusesi,step,state)
SELECT *
FROM XMLTABLE (
'/ROWSET/ROW'
PASSING xmltype (BFILENAME (TEST_DIR', 'test.xml'), NLS_CHARSET_ID ('CHAR_CS'))
COLUMNS name VARCHAR (40) path 'name',
dtsysl DATE path 'dtsysl',
hrsysl NUMBER path 'hrsysl',
dtcptl DATE path 'dtcptl',
nusesi NUMBER path 'nusesi',
step VARCHAR (40) path 'step',
state VARCHAR (40) path 'state');
The message is always "0 rows inserted".
Thanks for your support.

Answer 1

Apparently, you're using sample code from another example?
The problem is the use of "/ROWSET/ROW", there's no such path in the XML document, hence XMLTable returning nothing.
In your case the correct query would be :
SELECT *
FROM XMLTABLE (
  XMLNamespaces('Software' as "aps"),
  '/aps:Operations/Event'
  PASSING xmltype (BFILENAME ('TEST_DIR', 'test.xml'), NLS_CHARSET_ID ('CHAR_CS'))
  COLUMNS name   VARCHAR (40) path 'name',
          dtsysl DATE         path 'dtsysl',
          hrsysl NUMBER       path 'hrsysl',
          dtcptl DATE         path 'dtcptl',
          nusesi NUMBER       path 'nusesi',
          step   VARCHAR (40) path 'DSP/step',
          state  VARCHAR (40) path 'DSP/state'
);See the XQuery expression "/aps:Operations/Event", it represents the access path of the element you consider as the record of data.
Hope that helps.
