XML extracting

hello,
I'm trying to get some values from XML file, but
unsuccessfully. I have attached the file. I'm not familiar with XML
and don't know what to say more. Have You any ideas??
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response.
I have used XmlParse
<cfset mydoc = XmlParse(wer.filecontent)>
but I have problems with XmlSearch
Can You pls. help me to find, for example, parameters
"#GGAF_STREET_NAME#" and "#GGDE_DD_SCORE1#" with XmlSearch??
Thanks,

Create a large XML extract from relational tables - 10g

The Oracle 10g documentation recommends using the various SQL functions such as XMLAGG,XMLELEMENT or DBMS_XMLGEN under chapter "16 Generating XML Data from the Database" for generating a XML extract file. The DBMS_XMLDOM seems like a useful structured package to create a XML formatted extract. Any idea why Oracle does not recommend the use of XMLDOM API ? Are there performance issues or likely de-support ?
Whats the best way to produce a large XML extract?
Thanks.

No reason not to use it. It just tends to require a lot more coding than the other methods. Underneath the covers they all map into the same code-line. In general, to generate a given XML document you wlll write far fewer lines of code using the SQL/XML operators. Less Code written = less code to maintan = faster time to market.Less code to parse...?

Using XML extraction from Oracle and XSLT data transformation

Hi
How can transfer data ie: Using XML extraction from Oracle and XSLT data transformation with java application?
usually i use to do querying sql, getting data from table assinging to model class then send it to UI. how can i go for XML extraction form oracle?
thanks

Sorry, I don't understand what exactly you want to do. And I'm under the impression that you might not know exactly what you want to do as well. Could you explain a bit more detailed what you want to achieve?

XML extract error

Hello -
This is my table:
SQL> describe UCCNET_REGISTRY_CAT_ITEM;
Name Null? Type
UCCNET_REGISTRY_CAT_ITEM_KEY NOT NULL NUMBER
XML XMLTYPE
EAN_UCC_PROXY_KEY NUMBER
DOCUMENT_NAME VARCHAR2(256)
SQL>
and this is my statement that is supposed to extract the XML data:
select p.XML
from UCCNET_REGISTRY_CAT_ITEM p
where p.XML.extract('/item/text()').getStringVal = '123';
I did it exactly as the Oracle Viewlet showed it to me but I got this error:
where p.XML.extract('/item/text()').getStringVal = '123'
ERROR at line 3:
ORA-22806: not an object or REF
Could you please tell me wher I went wrong?
Thanks,
Peter

I just hit something else on top of my previous problem with XML namespaces. I am trying to pass my XML document to a stored procedure and I seem to be hitting a length limit for a parameter.
Here's my SP:
create or replace procedure TEST_UCCnet_Add_Envelope( p_key in number, p_XML in VARCHAR2) is
lastIndex number;
begin
lastIndex := 0;
insert into Envelope (
ENVELOPE_KEY,
XML )
values (
lastIndex,
sys.XMLTYPE.createXML (p_XML));
end;
Here's How I call it:
This parameter gets through(951 Bytes):
execute TEST_UCCnet_Add_Envelope( -5, '<envelope communicationVersion="2.2"> <messageHeader> <messageIdentifier> <value>RCIR-MSGID-001</value> </messageIdentifier> <userId>steruser</userId> <representingParty> <gln>0034500000000</gln> </representingParty> </messageHeader> <registerCommandOperand> <registryCatalogueItem type="RegistryCatalogueItemType" creationDate="2001-08-02T12:00:00" documentStatus="ORIGINAL"> <registryCatalogueItemState state="REGISTERED"/> <catalogueItemClassification classificationCategoryCode="UDEX.02.0016.0093"/> <catalogueItemReference> <gtin>00061420464322</gtin> <dataSource>1701911838063</dataSource> </catalogueItemReference> <sourceDataPool>8507247615230</sourceDataPool> <informationProviderOfTradeItem> </informationProviderOfTradeItem> </registryCatalogueItem> <test_tag></test_tag> </registerCommandOperand> </envelope>');
This one, does not (987 Bytes). All I added is the test_tag element:
execute TEST_UCCnet_Add_Envelope( -6, '<envelope communicationVersion="2.2"> <messageHeader> <messageIdentifier> <value>RCIR-MSGID-001</value> </messageIdentifier> <userId>steruser</userId> <representingParty> <gln>0034500000000</gln> </representingParty> </messageHeader> <registerCommandOperand> <registryCatalogueItem type="RegistryCatalogueItemType" creationDate="2001-08-02T12:00:00" documentStatus="ORIGINAL"> <registryCatalogueItemState state="REGISTERED"/> <catalogueItemClassification classificationCategoryCode="UDEX.02.0016.0093"/> <catalogueItemReference> <gtin>00061420464322</gtin> <dataSource>1701911838063</dataSource> </catalogueItemReference> <sourceDataPool>8507247615230</sourceDataPool> <informationProviderOfTradeItem> <test_tag>kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk</test_tag> </informationProviderOfTradeItem> </registryCatalogueItem> <test_tag></test_tag> </registerCommandOperand> </envelope>');
And here's the error message:
ERROR:
ORA-01756: quoted string not properly terminated
SP2-0042: unknown command "pe>')" - rest of line ignored.
This suggests strongly that the argument is simply too long for the SP to accept. Am I right?

Oracle Payments - Funds Capture - Create Settlement Batches - Customize Standard XML extract

Hi,
I am required to customize the output produced by 'Create Settlement Batches' program.
There are two parts to it:
     1. Customizing Standard XML
          This is required to add custom XML Tags to the standard XML extract.
          I read in a meta-link note that this can be achieved through table iby_trxn_extensibility. Oracle suggests that we insert rows into this table via a trigger on iby_trxn_summaries_all, and           these rows will appear as additional XML Tags in the Standard XML extract.
          I need to figure out how to populate the column iby_trxn_extensibility.extend_name so that the new XML Tag appears at a specific path in the Standard XML extract.
          Kindly provide your valuable inputs on this?
     2. Customizing Standard RTF
          In case of Funds Disbursement, we have a standard Format called 'US NACHA Generic Format'. Do we have a similar seeded Format in case of Funds Capture?
Best Regards,
Uday Arora

I am wondering whether u were able to achieve this. I am able to insert via autonomous transaction but it insert duplicate values, HOW to avoid duplicate.

Xml extract assign to varchar2

How do i assign the xml Extract to a varchar2.. its throwing me error, is it possible or an alternative method to do this.
ST_Name1 varchar2(120);
ST_Name1:= xml_st.EXTRACT ('ST/Name1/text()').getstringval ();Thanks

its throwing me errorit would also help to mention what kind of error you get!
In general it would work:
SQL> declare
   ST_Name1 varchar2 (120);
   xml_st   xmltype := xmltype ('<ST><Name1>SomeName</Name1></ST>');
begin
   ST_Name1 := xml_st.extract ('ST/Name1/text()').getstringval ();

Xml extract - a particular value (not the whole tag

Hi
I have an xml in database column as follows:
<tag1 xmlsn:ns1="http://abc.def.org/".....>
<ns1:tag2>...</ns1:tag2>
<ns1:xyz
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="virtual">

</ns1:abcdesc>
</ns1:abcdesc>
</ns1:abcdesc>
</ns1:xyz>
</tag1>
How may I extract only the id's given?
This is my query:
select
tablename.xmlcolumn.extract('//tag1/ns1:xyz/ns1:abcdesc/ns1:id','xmlns:ns1="http://abc.def.org/"').getSDtringVal()
from tablename
I do not get just the id's with this query but the whole xml tag as follows:
<ns1:id xmlns:ns1="http://abc.def.org/">171351</ns1:id>
Any help?
Thx!

Got it.
Adding text() after the id in the query helps.
Thx!

Need Xml Extraction help...not very urgent but only 6 Hrs left...

Hi,
     I have an xml in a blob column and I need to extract the xml resultset into the (specified below) row/column format. So that i created a custom blob_to_clob function for this conversion and extracted below specified xml. Now I am executing the below specified queries for this xml to extract PanelSet, PanelId, Link values & attributes. but the problem is, I am not been able to relate the parent and child nodes or may be not able to identify, who belongs to who (parent--child). for e.g if I extract all link i.e status1, status2 etc of a particular Panel then i am not been able to access its (parent) Panel identification.please suggest me any solution.

Urgent!! Urgent!! Slow in XML extraction.

Hi,
I am using 8.1.7 dB. I have prob in performance, while extractging. I have XML doc like the following.
- <rowOfCells>
- <cellValueList>
<cellValue>Class I Senior Notes</cellValue>
<cellValue>0</cellValue>
<cellValue>0.0054</cellValue>
<cellValue>48164975</cellValue>
<cellValue>4.18</cellValue>
<cellValue>304557600</cellValue>
<cellValue>181835025</cellValue>
</cellValueList>
</rowOfCells>
- <rowOfCells>
- <cellValueList>
<cellValue>Class I Senior Notes</cellValue>
<cellValue>0</cellValue>
<cellValue>0.0054</cellValue>
<cellValue>49105975</cellValue>
<cellValue>4.33</cellValue>
<cellValue>307906256</cellValue>
<cellValue>180894025</cellValue>
</cellValueList>
</rowOfCells>
Please noet that the number of "cellValue" tags may vary. I am using the code like the following to extract and make it as a record.
l_row_node_list := xslProcessor.selectNodes (p_node,'/rowOfCells/cellValueList' );
FOR i IN 0 .. XMLDOM.getLength (l_row_node_list) - 1
LOOP
l_row_node := XMLDOM.item (l_row_node_list, i);
l_col_node_list := xslProcessor.selectNodes (l_row_node,'cellValue' );
     FOR j IN 0 .. XMLDOM.getLength (l_col_node_list) - 1
LOOP
     l_grandChildArray(j+1) := SUBSTR(XMLDOM.getNodeValue( XMLDOM.getFirstChild(XMLDOM.item (l_col_node_list, j) ) ),1,100);
     END LOOP;
-- Make as record structure.
l_generic_rec.col1 := l_grandChildArray(1);
     l_generic_rec.col2 := l_grandChildArray(2);
     l_generic_rec.col3 := l_grandChildArray(3);
     l_generic_rec.col4 := l_grandChildArray(4);
l_generic_rec.col5 := l_grandChildArray(5);
     l_generic_rec.col6 := l_grandChildArray(6);
     l_generic_rec.col7 := l_grandChildArray(7);
     l_generic_rec.col8 := l_grandChildArray(8);
END LOOP;
This works fine for me, but it takes 5 minutes to extract for 1200 cellValueList. I want to speed up this process.Is there any way i can modify this code or use some other way to speed up the process of extraction?
Advanced Thanks
Ramesh

Your code using the DOM APIs looks fine. You can change 'cellValue' to '/cellValue' and see if there will be any improvement:
l_col_node_list := xslProcessor.selectNodes (l_row_node,'/cellValue' );
Or you can use the SAX streaming method to get the data. Would you like to send the sample data?

Also, I can see here -- ORA-19279: XPTY0004 - XQuery dynamic type mismatch: expected singleton sequence - got multi-item sequence
that you have used another technique XMLNamespaces() for the same.
select x.*

   , xmltable(
       xmlnamespaces(
         default 'urn:swift:xsd:fin.970.2011'

     ) x;
What you are trying to do here? and why that "default" namespace?
Also, I'll also go through the docs in this meantime.

XML Extract from CLOB Column

We have some XML data loaded into CLOB columns, for reasons too long to explain here we are not using the XMLTYPE, but we do need to extract rows based on conditions of the XML data. For performance reasons we do not want to index the CLOB column. I am looking at ways of inspecting the XML and returning matching results by casting the CLOB out as XMLTYPE and opening up xpath/xquery functions - but need this to be efficient. I have initially used extract().getXXXXVal in the where clause of a select statement, ie. where x.xmltype(clob_col).extract('<xpath>').getNumberVal = nn, but have found this very inefficient with memory usage increasing consistently and CPU hitting 100%. can anyone suggest some alternative methods?

Hi
In expression operator ignore "PLS-00201: identifier 'EXTRACTVALUE' must be declared" .
In Mapping Level Configure Default Operating Mode : Setbased and
Generation Mode : Setbased
and deploy and execute your mapping.

SOS! a tough XML extract issue.

i have a xmltype table like this:
SQL> select object_value from tbl_testxml;
<members>
<grandfather name="Tom" age="66">
<father name="John" age="46">
<son name="Simon" age="20"/>
<son name="Steve" age="19"/>
</father>
<father name="Jeff" age="45">
<son name="Mark" age="17"/>
<son name="Mathiew" age="15"/>
</father>
</grandfather>
</members>
What i want to do is extract the grandfather, father and son's name (in the same line if they are in same family), so i use this sql query:
select extract(value(v_xml),'//grandfather/@name') as grandfather,
extract(value(v_xml),'//grandfather/father/@name') as father,
extract(value(v_xml),'//grandfather/father/son/@name') as son
from tbl_testxml t,
TABLE (XMLSEQUENCE (EXTRACT (t.object_value, '/members'))) v_xml;
The output is like this eventually:
grandfather                              father                                  son
========                                 ==============                          ================
Tom                                       JohnJeff                               SimonSteveMarkMathiewBut this is not what i want, what i want is like this:
grandfather          father         son
========             ======         ======
Tom                   John           Simon
Tom                   John           Steve
Tom                   Jeff            Mark
Tom                   Jeff            Mathiewis that possible to get the result as above?
i've tried xmlquery, xmltable etc, none of them works :(
Thanks so much!

Certainly not the ideal solution, but you could transform the original XML using XSL so that it better fits your requirement :
SELECT extractvalue(v_xml.column_value,'//grandfather') as grandfather,
       extractvalue(v_xml.column_value,'//father') as father,
       extractvalue(v_xml.column_value,'//son') as son
FROM tbl_testxml t,
TABLE(
XMLSEQUENCE(
EXTRACT(t.object_value.transform(
          xmltype('<?xml version="1.0"?>
          <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
          <xsl:template match="/">
          <all_branches>
           <xsl:for-each select="//son">
            <branch>
             <grandfather><xsl:value-of select="../../@name"/></grandfather>
             <father><xsl:value-of select="../@name"/></father>
             <son><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></son>
            </branch>
           </xsl:for-each>
          </all_branches>
          </xsl:template>
          </xsl:stylesheet>')
          ), '//branch'
) v_xml;Basically, the XSL takes each leaf (ie each son), retrieves its ancestors and presents them all in distinct BRANCH element.
The SQL query then just extracts all BRANCH nodes with XMLSEQUENCE (XMLTABLE works as well) and extracts again each member in separate column.

Error with XML extraction.

Hello experts,
Activated the XML service and connected the MS reporting designer to pull meta data from the BI development server and all worked good. However, it is throwing an error in QA system as 'E RSDSDSO 201 Cannot be processed in plugin mode HTTP (XML for Analysis Provider)'. Activated the trace and couldn't find any useful info. No dumps in ST22. I tested the URL through internet explorer and it works fine.
Has anybody faced this problem and any clue/help is very much appreciated. Points are sure.
Thanks

Extract parent and child data from an XML sequence?

I'm very new to XML, so please excuse me if I use incorrect terminology here. I've been given a schema definition (.xsd), and several sample xml files from which I need to extract data and insert it into relational tables. I've made some progress in that I've been able to hack enough to modify and register the schema and get the XML into the database both through the registered schema and into a separate table with an XMLType column. I've also been able to use the isSchemaValid function to validate the XML against the schema definition, and I've been able to extract some of the simple data elements via the extractValue function. My problem is with extracting some of the nested data - that is, extracting parent node elements and child node elements together where there is more than one value in the child node. BTW. I'm on Oracle 10gR2.
Following are the .xsd and and sample XML. Specifically, I need to select the NPI value from the PROVIDER node, and associate it with each of the CODE values from the SPECIALTIES node (which is part of the PROVIDER node).
Here's the .xsd (sorry, it's very long). The only modifications I've made to the schema definition are to add the xdb namespace and the "xdb:defaultTable="HMOSCHEMA" snippet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

As you can see, the SPECIALTIES node can contain more than one CODE value, si I can't use extractValue to retrieve them. Again, I need to extract the NPI value from the PROVIIDER node, and associate it with each of the CODE values from the SPECIALTIES node. So, what I would need to extract from this sample XML would be:
NPI CODE
1111111111 170
2222222222 322
2222222222 329
This seems like it should be a pretty routine requirement, but I've tried everything I can think of (that is, everything I've learned to this point), and have not yet found a way............
Ideally, the solution to extracting this data would utilize SQL (not PL/SQL, or Java, or XSL, etc) with XML extraction functions (e.g. extract, extractValue, XMLSequence, XMLTable, etc).
Can anyone provide me with an example of how that iterative specialy code data could be extracted? Do I need to modify the .xsd to facilitate this extraction (so that registration of the schema results in other objects in the database)?
Any suggestions or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Dan
P.S. - I hope the XML displays OK when I post this question!

Hi,
Thanks for your detailed sample, it's very helpful.
This seems like it should be a pretty routine requirementIndeed, that's a classic (once you've got the method).
So, here's how you can do it :
SELECT x1.npi, x2.code
FROM t,
     XMLTable(
      '/HMO/PROVIDERS/PROVIDER'

;Assuming the XML is stored in column T.DOC.
As you see, for each NPI, the trick is to pass the entire SPECIALTIES node (kind of a join) to another nested XMLTable so that each CODE could be extracted as well.
There's another method using only one XMLTable and a little more complex XQuery. I'll try to post it soon.
HTH.
Edit : 2nd method
SELECT x.*
FROM t,
     XMLTable(
      'for $i in /HMO/PROVIDERS/PROVIDER/SPECIALTIES/CODE
       return element e
        attribute npi { $i/../../NPI },
        $i/text()
      passing t.doc
      columns
        npi number path '@npi',
        code number path '.'
     ) x
