XML in CLOB or BFILE

Could somebody tell me the different between save XML in CLOB and BFILE, addition to generic different between CLOB and BFILE, is there a performance issue?
Thanks

CLOB is a fully-updateable, character large object that is stored inside the database. It can be text-indexed using interMedia for document searching.
BFILE is a readonly pointer to a file on the external file system whose content is not physically stored in the database. It can also be text-indexed for document searching, but it can't be updated.

XML in clob columns and OWB

I’m building some ETL process to extract data from XML in CLOB columns. I know that there are solutions to use functions as extractvalue() of WB_XML_LOAD(), but I want to know if there is any other way to deal with XML. The reason for that is because my XML files have multiple namespaces and nodes, and I need something more complex to deal with that, since I already tried those two first solutions.
My first solution was to create a PL/SQL that parses the XML and looks for tags and elements. It populates a relational table, and I might use OWB to extract the data from this table. But I’m dealing with a large table and it takes a while for processing, plus my code is hude!
My question is: Does someone have any experience with complex XML in Clob columns? If so, what was your solution for that?
Thanks a lot!

Storing and searching XML in CLOBs

Speaking to an oracle employee at the Oracle booth at JavaOne
recently. They suggested I store XML in CLOBs
and use the DOM or SAX to reparse the XML later as needed.
I agreed that this was the best solution for my problem
(which was how to manage many different XML documents using many
different DTDs in a document management system)
The big problem was searching this document repository
to locate relevant information.
This is where Intermedia seemed ideal (still does).
It would be nice to see an example of setting this up using
Intermedia in Oracle 8i, demonstrating how to define the
XML_SECTION_GROUP and where to use a ZONE as opposed to a FIELD
etc.
Anybody care to take a shot at this ????
For example:
How would I define Intermedia parameters
so that I would be able to search my CLOB
column for records that had the <keyword>
"aorta" and "damage" in the <caption>
using the following
XML (DTD implied)
<image filename="OurImageName.gif">
<fname>WellKnownFileName.gif</fname>
<keyword>echocardiogram</keyword>
<keyword>aorta</keyword>
<caption>This is an image of the vessel damage</caption>
</image>
Thanks

The example he gave involves exactly that -- searching for
text within XML elements. interMedia can do this.
: It also does not do attributes.
Upcoming 8.1.6 version allows searching within
attribute text. That's something like:
dog within book@author
We're working on attribute value sensitive search,
more like:
dog within book[@author = "Eric"]

indextype is ctxsys.context

select * from mytab
where contains(mytxtcolumn, 'aorta within keyword')>0;
options:
* use XML section group instead of basic section group
if your tags have attributes or you need case-sensitive
tag detection
* use zone sections instead of field sections if your
sections overlap, or if you need to distinguish
between instances. For instance, keywords. If keywords
is a field section, then
(aorta and echocardiogram) within keywords
finds the document. if it is a zone section, then it
doesn't, because they are not in the SAME instance of
keywords.

Extract part of xml into CLOB or XMLType

I need to extract part of XML into CLOB or some another type. But I don't need only extract data, by whole part od xml with elements. How could I do it in PL/SQL?
For example from this xml:
<bookstore>
<book category="COOKING">
<title lang="en">Everyday Italian</title>
<author>Giada De Laurentiis</author>
<year>2005</year>
<price>30.00</price>
</book>
<book category="CHILDREN">
<title lang="en">Harry Potter</title>
<author>J K. Rowling</author>
<year>2005</year>
<price>29.99</price>
</book>
</bookstore>
I need to get:
"<book category="COOKING">
<title lang="en">Everyday Italian</title>
<author>Giada De Laurentiis</author>
<year>2005</year>
<price>30.00</price>
</book>"
THX

That's why I need to process every book alone - to know which authors belongs to single book.For that specific requirement, a single query would do.
Assuming variable "v_xml_clob" holds the XML document :
<bookstore>
<name>nameOfBookstore</name>
<address>1st Avenue 24, SF</address>
      <book category="COOKING">
        <title lang="en">Everyday Italian</title>
        <author>
          <name>Giada De Laurentiis</name>
          <birth>1956</birth>
        </author>
        <author>
          <name>xxx</name>
          <birth>1955</birth>
        </author>
        <year>2005</year>
        <price>30.00</price>
      </book>
      <book category="CHILDREN">
        <title lang="en">Harry Potter</title>
        <author>
          <name>Rowning</name>
          <birth>1977</birth>
        </author>
        <author>
          <name>xxx</name>
          <birth>1955</birth>
        </author>
        <year>2005</year>
        <price>29.99</price>
      </book>
</bookstore>You can do :
SELECT *
FROM XMLTable(
'for $i in distinct-values($d//book/author/name)
where count($d//book/author[name=$i]) = 1
return $i'
passing xmltype(v_xml_clob) as "d"
columns author_name varchar2(80) path '.'

Migrating V9 to V10: Update XML Fragment CLOB does not work anymore

I have an XML Schema that contains an element, named Operazione, mapped to a CLOB.
I just migrate to Oracle 10.1.0.2.0 from version 9.2.0.2.0 and the code I developed does not work anymore.
To get a CLOB on v 9.2.0.2.0 I issued the following statement:
select extractValue(value(p),'/operazione.log/Operazione') from XMT_OPERAZIONE_LOG p
where existsNode(value(p),'/operazione.log/Journal[NumeroElettronico=1234567890]') = 1
To make it working on V10 I have to change it as follow:
select extract(value(p),'/operazione.log/Operazione').getClobVal() from XMT_OPERAZIONE_LOG p
where existsNode(value(p),'/operazione.log/Journal[NumeroElettronico=1234567890]') = 1
So using extract intead of extractValue and adding getClobVal() I was able to read the CLOB.
The problem that I was not able to solve is related to CLOB update. In V9 just adding the âfor updateâ clause I was able to change the CLOB value on DB.
In V10 if I run the V9 statement I get the error:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
If I use the statement modified for V10, adding the âfor updateâ clause, I get the CLOB and I can change the CLOB value but nothing goes on the DB. Probably I am working on a copy of the DB CLOB.
If I remove the getClobVal() I get an OPAQUE type that I can use on a XMLType but, still, nothing is stored on DB.
Any suggestion ?
I tried with both OCI and Thin Client

Can anybody help me ?
Is it better to use different strategies ( eg. Stored Procedure, DBMS_XMLSTORE etc, etc. ) ?
Any experience updatating XML Fragment CLOB on Oracle V10 ?

Parse XML from CLOB field

How can I parse XML from CLOB field? I need to replace or delete the node from XML document and update the database with new XML. I am using Oracle 9i release 2.
Here is the XML. In this XML if section1 and section2 exists then I need to delete the section1 node. If section2 doesn't exist, replace section1 with section2 node.
<Document ID='2' TypeID='2'>
<Body>
<Page Name='Page1'>
<Sec ID='section1' Title='Section 1' GroupID='' />
<Sec ID='section2' Title='Section 2' GroupID='' />
</Page>
</Body>
</Document>
Please help.. Thank you..

In 9.2, you are limited into your options. Have a look into, among others, updateXML. Updating tp 10gR2 will give you more options to succeed.

I'm not sure if you want the values from the attribute or the element, but this should give you a good start :

From XML in CLOB to relational table doubt

versions 11.2.0.2.0 / 10.2.0.4.0
It's a long time, no see since my last dealing with xml and no luck to have an attribute value returned into the relational table.
It's *<IntrBkSttlmAmt Ccy="???">999999</IntrBkSttlmAmt>*
For the rest the below works in both versions but used on an xml having a 10000 <CdtTrfTxInf> on 11g it took 9 seconds and was killed because no answer was produced after 30 minutes on 10g. A colleague using java loaded the relational table in 34 seconds on 10g and produced the relational table on 11g in just 5 seconds.
The 10g version is surviving with no xmldb installed and there are rumors our thinking heads didn't succeed to deactivate it on 11g yet.
Any suggestion concerning alternate ways to produce a relational table from an xmltype located in a clob column of a relational table are welcome
(looking at CLOB in XML to Normal table Best approach? I thought too many xmltable would have to be used)

Hi,
It's a long time, no see since my last dealing with xml and no luck to have an attribute value returned into the relational table.When you use this :
<Ccy>{$r/IntrBkSttlmAmt/@Ccy}</Ccy>That doesn't set the value of the Ccy element with the attribute value, but actually add the attribute Ccy to the element Ccy, which results in
<Ccy Ccy="???"></Ccy>Knowing that, you have three options :
1) Leaving the XQuery as it is and using this instead in the COLUMNS clause :
                         ccy             varchar2(50)    path '/rw/Ccy/@Ccy',2) Modifying the XQuery to get the atomic value out of the attribute (using the fn:data function) :
                          <Ccy>{fn:data($r/IntrBkSttlmAmt/@Ccy)}</Ccy>3) Simplifying the whole thing, something like :
select v.instrid, v.endtoendid, v.txid, v.cd, v.ccy,
       replace(v.intrbksttlmamt,'.',',') as intrbksttlmamt, v.chrgbr, v.bic1, v.nm1, v.adrline11, v.adrline12, v.ctry1, v.iban1,
       v.bic2, v.bic3, v.nm2, v.adrline21, v.adrline22, v.ctry2, v.iban2, v.cdtrref, v.addtlrmtinf

Parsing xml in clob field remove non utf-8 characters

hi all,
i have an issue where a stored procedure runs during a nightly process and parses xml contained in a clob field. There are some records that contain non-utf8(they paste characters from word)characters and therefore the parse fails when using performing an xquery select against the clob field as xmltype. I was wondering if anyone knew of a handy way to handle such a situation? I have looked around a bit and not found anything that seemed tailored to my situation, and I would like something a bit more generic than doing a replace on individual characters that i have found causing issues...thx in advance! -- jp

Hi,
Like BluShadow I'm curious to see a test case...
Depending on the way it's been created, the encoding declared in the XML prolog doesn't necessarily reflects the actual encoding of the content.
What's your database character set, and version?
Please also post the error message you get (LPX-00200 probably?).

I'm currently using the below Query but it's not helpful in terms of perfomance.How do you measure "performance"? Response time? System resources used?
What performance are you expecting vs. what you're currently observing?
If you're always accessing the table through its unique index, there shouldn't be any performance issue in accessing the table.
Is the XML you posted a typical document you have in the table? In terms of size?
Parsing a document that small shouldn't be an issue either whatever the method used.
Anyway, as Alex said, an optimal storage model would use an XMLType column (binary XML or schema-based object-relational model) instead of CLOB.

How to insert huge XML in CLOB using insert command in sql*plus....

How to upload huge XML into a CLOB column of a normal table using a script?
A simple insert statement does not seem to work.
Thanks & regards.

In SQL *Plus i'm trying to insert directly into the table.
My insert statement is like below :
Insert into ui_templates
(TEMPLATE_ID, TEMPLATE_NAME, CUSTOMER_ID, DESCRIPTION, XML_CONTENT)
Values
(1, 'Default', 1, 'Main Default Template', '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><xoraLayout:Layout name="MyLayout" version="1.0" ................<3357> chars long');
COMMIT;

XML BLOB/CLOB to relational structure

Hi
I would like peoples views on the best approach to the folllowing scenario
We are implementing a new payments engine (major bank), the vendors DB is a mix of normal relational tables & XML including XML CLOB/BLOB. In the latter case, the original incoming payment message and the enriched outgoing payment message is stored as XML CLOB. The vendor has no OOTB reporting capabilities so our approach is to replicate the production database using GoldenGate. We then plan to cretae a fully relational oracle database as an ODS (near real time) with B.O sitting over the top for reporting. We will use Oracle Data Integrator to extract the data from the rplicated copy of the live DB every 10 mins, shred the XML clob components and store in normal relational tables in the ODI.
Does anyone see major problems with this approach and can anyone suggest a better approach

Storing XML as CLOBs

Can anyone give me some input on how to
store XML files as CLOBs in an Oracle database, preferably using jdbc through jsp pages?
null

Hello Michael,
I believe the reference in the demo tutorial is to Insert process (not function). This is probably the process defined on page 8-6, step 4a of the "Create a process to insert information" section.
Basically you can upload and store files in CLOB. For my self, I only did it with XML files, but I don't see any reason not to do it with other types of files.
I think that in order to work with non-structured files (like ASCII) you should learn more about Oracle Text. Apex is also using this product. Search this forum for "oracle text" and continue from there.
Hope this helps,
Arie.

Retrieve the large volume XML in CLOB

If I store the larage volume XML documents
in the database CLOB field,
How can I retreive the corresponding XML file
efficently?

The Dynamic News sample app shows some techniques for working with XML documents and CLOB fields.
