XML in Oracle 8.1.7

Hello,
I'm trying to insert (amongst other things) a decimal value from an XML file into a NUMBER column (where the precision and scale are unspecified) in an Oracle 8.1.7 database. I am attempting to do this with the java class OracleXML, but am having little joy - I get a java.lang.NumberFormatException error.
I can run this class, using the same XML file, against the same table in a 9i database without any problems. I can also manually insert this value into the 8i DB. I just cannot perform the XML upload to the 8i database. Any ideas???
Thanks,
Matt

Thanks.
I found that there's a tool - PLSXML :

New to XML and Oracle

Just trying to clarify some issues as I try and learn about XML, and specifically how it integrates into the DB.
1 - Is there a way with Oracle tools for me to get an XSD of an existing 9i relational schema? We are not currently using the XML DB, but our middleware developers would like to have an up to date XSD to use for their internal mapping.
2 - Is there any way that I can keep that XSD up-to-date automatically, so I get a new one whenever the schema gets updated?
3 - If I wanted to investigate storing XML docs within the DB in native XML format, I need to have an XML DB, correct? Is this DB construct maintained seperatelly from my "normal" relational schema? or are they kept in sync by Oracle?
I know these may all be real basic questions, but as I said, I'm new to XML and Oracle. I am reading as much as I can, but there are a lot of docs out there.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi
1. On my opinion such a tool doesn't exists. Some parts can be implemented elsewhere, but not as described by you... e.g. with XSU if you specify the parameter "withschema" the XSD of the executed statement is generated. Another example is to use DBMS_METADATA to dump the data dictionary in XML (but not XSD, of course you could write your own XSLT to do this transformation...).
2. -
3. If you use XSD-based tables the XSD and the relational model are stored separately in the data dictionary. Therefore if you change the XSD you have to drop/create the XSD-based table... no schema evolution yet.

How to store data from xml in oracle database

Hello All
Could anyone tell me ways of storing XML in Oracle and whats the best one in terms of performance issues.
any URL to this q/s would be great.
thanks
kedar

Ben,
The following link as some information regarding DOM API and XSQL.
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:2923508047773696280::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID,F4950_P8_CRITERIA:17309127931717
For XML DB, you may want to create an XMLSchema and build a table off the schema definition. Then use WEBDAV to load the xml into a folder (ie object table) Once the xml is in the database you could build a view for a relational look at the data.
Example from XMLDB Techical White Paper doc.
create or replace view PURCHASEORDER_MASTER_VIEW
(reference, requestor, userid, costcenter,...)
as select extractValue(Value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/Reference'),
extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/Requestor'),
extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/User'),
extractValue(value(p),'/PurchaseOrder/CostCenter'),...
from PURCHASEORDER p

XML in Oracle 9i (best method to return a xml file from a table query)

Hello.
What is the best method to query a table, or set of tables (that will return thousands of rows) using xml in oracle? (best performance)
I'm currently using DBMS_XMLGen, is there a better method ?

I think, if your talking about generating XML, that you should use XMLElement, XMLForest, etc. to create your XML.
Lets assume that you base is relational data, then maybe the following great example will give you an idea how to do it : Re: Generate XML Schema from oracle tables
As michaels pointed out (did you read the link/ URL given?), the general expectancy is that the packages will be less and less important. So also maintenance wise the XMLElement, etc way will be the best, also for the future, maintainable method.

As I recall from my 8i days (it's been many years), the only way to do this is to install the XML XDK. From http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/xml/xdk/xdk_java.html, it says "The Oracle9i versions of the XDK can also be used to build applications designed to interface with Oracle8i databases." I had thought the 10g version could do that as well but I'm not seeing it now.
Since XMLType was not part of 8i, you will need to use PL/SQL to take your Select statement results and build them into a DOMDocument structure.
Hope that helps.

Generating multi-level xml in oracle

Hi,
I want to create a multi-level XML structure from oracle, is there a way?
Presently oracle provides DBMS_XMLQUERY and XMLGEN package to generated XML structure given a query. But the structure so generated is of single level. That is say I use
select XMLGEN.getXML('select * from employees') from dual;
the output is
<EMPLOYEE>
<ROW num="1">
<NAME>Mark</NAME>
<TEL>451-638191</TEL>
</ROW>
</EMPLOYEE>
That I call a single level output.
To create a multiple level XML I went in for object type in oracle. But the problem with this is that if I want to have multiple children for a single parent then object types fail. The structure below is not possible with object type.

Then I tried nested tables. Here one needs to create an object type to create a table type. One cannot create a table type out of another table type. So that leavs me with 2 levels
object type
used by
table type
used by
table.
Presently to generated a multi-level output as shown above I'm using cursors and build it in a clob variable.
Is there any other way that one can build a multi-level structure. Or is there a build in package that comes with orace 8i (and higher).

Milton.

Milton,
I was able to generate hierarchical XML from Oracle using object views and XML-SQL Utility (XSU).
Here is a simplified version of my OR schema:
/* Physical spec object */
create or replace type physical_specifications_object as object (
physical_specifications_id number(15),
page_count number(10),
product_id number(10),
four_color_count number(10),
two_color_count number(10),
table_count number(10),
binding_type varchar2(100),
height varchar2(20),
width varchar2(20)
/* Market object */
create or replace type market_object as object (
market_id number(15),
master_class_name varchar2(50),
market_name varchar2(100),
market_type varchar2(100),
market_description varchar2(500),
level_rank varchar2(15),
market_code varchar2(100),
product_id number(10)
/* List of markets */
create or replace type market_table as table of market_object;
/* Market object view */
create or replace view market_object_view of market_object
with object identifier (market_id) as
select mkt.market_id,
class.master_class_name,
mkt.market_name,
mkt.market_type,
mkt.market_description,
prod_mkt.level_rank,
mkt.market_code,
p.product_id
from market mkt,
product p,
product_market prod_mkt,
master_class class
where p.product_id = prod_mkt.product_id
and prod_mkt.market_id = mkt.market_id
and mkt.master_class_id = class.master_class_id(+);
/* Feature object */
create or replace type product_feature_object as object (
feature_id number(15),
feature_text varchar2(3500),
feature_type varchar2(100)
/* List of features */
create or replace type product_feature_table as table of product_feature_object;
/* Product object */
create or replace type product_object as object (
product_id number(10),
title varchar2(150),
media_type varchar2(20),
standard_number varchar2(100),
physical_specifications physical_specifications_object,
markets market_table,
product_features product_feature_table
/* Product object view */
create or replace view product_object_view of product_object
with object identifier (product_id) as
select p.product_id,
p.title,
p.media_type,
p.standard_number,
physical_specifications_object(spec.physical_specifications_id,
spec.page_count,
spec.product_id,
spec.four_color_count,
spec.two_color_count,
spec.table_count,
spec.binding_type,
spec.height,
spec.width),
cast(multiset(select *
from market_object_view mkt
where mkt.product_id(+) = p.product_id) as market_table) as markets,
cast(multiset(select f.feature_id, f.feature_text, f.feature_type
from feature f
where f.product_id = p.product_id) as product_feature_table) as product_features
from product p,
physical_specifications spec
where p.product_id = spec.product_id(+)
The objective is to generate XML for a product list with all the product subelements. The simple query "select * from product_object_view" when fed to the XML-SQL utility generates multi-level SQL. Note that Oracle 8i allows up to two level collection nesting in object types. Oracle 9i removes this limitation.

Using XML in Oracle

Good Morning!
I wanted to insert some xml Data into my Orcale XML DB:
First of all I registered 2 Schemas required for the XML, like this:
Begin
DBMS_XMLSCHEMA.registerSchema(
schemaURL => 'Mailpiece_Processing/oif_dtypes',
schemaDoc => bfilename('XML_TEST','oif_dtypes.xsd'));
End;
then Created a table:
Create table XML_default auf XMLType
then inserted XML like this:
insert into xml_default
values
XMLTYPE
Bfilename ('XML_TEST', 'Test.xml'),
nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8'
Now to my question: Oracle is offering more than one possebility to save XML into its DB. If I import XML like this, is it called CLOB Storage or object relational?
Thanks in advance

Hi ,
I can only give u a few examples here but for the full sytanx and features of this powerful feature u may have to refer to some documentation online or read a book on XML within Oracle Database.
Let me try a few examples here
1) To extract the data from XML document an SQL plus command is available in XML DB. This feature is available from 10G onwards
example : select xmlelement(name,ename) from emp
Output will look like
<NAME>SMITH </NAME>
<NAME> JOHN </NAME>
<NAME> JONES </NAME>
2) CREATE TABLE FAMILIES (F_ID NUMBER(3), F_XML XMLTYPE);
insert into families values(1,xmltype('<XML.....>'));
or
insert into families values(1,''<XML>......' ));
Hope this helps !!!

schemaDoc => bfilename('XML_TEST','oif_dtypes.xsd'));
End;
then Created a table:
Create table XML_default auf XMLType
then inserted XML like this:
insert into xml_default
values
XMLTYPE
Bfilename ('XML_TEST', 'Test.xml'),

Hi Gurus,
I would like to learn about XML in Oracle database 10g.
Where can I get examples and supporting documents?
Thanks and Regards,

Hmm...
Here are few links ->
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96620/toc.htm

Other than this you can also check the following ->

Generating multi-level XML in Oracle 8i using XML-SQL utility

Oracle 8i has a limitation when it comes to the object types. Only one-level nesting of collection is allowed. Oracle 9i apparently removes this limitation.
I am trying to generate XML for a hierarchical (conceptually) structure. To do that I am using XML-SQL utility (XSU) running agains an object view build on top of the relational data. The problem is the limit to onelevels of colelction nesting. Oracle 8i gives you a way to create a view with more levels of nesting by using references (REF). The problem is that when XSU runs agains a view with the references, it inserts the references into the XML document (instead of dereferencing them).
Is there a way to generate XML with Oracle 8i with more than two levels of collection nesting?
Thank you.
Michael

Please let me know How I can achieve this.
Thanks & Regards,

Just add INSERT INTO your-table:

        archive
from XMLTable(
                 '/BSGDocs/Doc'
                 passing XMLType(Q'[<BSGDocs><Doc Id='562' Archive='1'></Doc><Doc Id='563' Archive='0'></Doc></BSGDocs>]')
                 columns
                   id varchar2(5) path '@Id',
                   archive varchar2(5) path '@Archive'

Variablize the datatypes in the select of data from XML to Oracle

Hi All,
I'm new to XML to Oracle data integration. I do have clob column that has the XML data and trying to bring it into the Oracle relational tables, as a part of it we are developing PL/SQL procedure that calls this CLOB column, I want to know if we can variablize the data types ( Just like tablename.columnname%type) in the select of the XML data:
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
from the_data w,
xmltable(xmlnamespaces(default 'urn:iso:std:iso:20022:tech:xsd:pacs.008.001.01'),
'/Document/pacs.008.001.01/CdtTrfTxInf'
passing xmltype(w.the_column)
columns instrid varchar2(300) path 'PmtId/InstrId',
endtoendid varchar2(150) path 'PmtId/EndToEndId',
txid varchar2(200) path 'PmtId/TxId',
cd varchar2(50) path 'PmtTpInf/SvcLvl/Cd',
) v
As you see above in the bold I do define the data types after every column name , the problem is incase there is change in datatype I do need to manually edit the procedure to change the datatype is there a way I can variablize them something like tablename.columname%type.
Any answers are greatly appreciated.

Two questions:
1. Does your database have a version number?
SELECT * FROM v$version;2. Why are you storing XML in a CLOB column rather than one of XMLType?

XML From Oracle

I would like to have a stored function return a CLOB field that is an XML DOM Tree that I can build from a cursor... Does anyone have some baseic information of hopw t oget this started. I have not installed any Java support into Oracle yet. Right now I have a new 8.1.7 database.
Thank you

You can use the XMLGEN package that comes with the XML SQL Utility, or use the XML SQL Utility's OracleXMLQuery class in a Java Stored Procedure of your own creation to accomplish this.

Problem while using XML with Oracle

I have a problem using XML with oracle applications
The process I am following
1. Making a XML string.
2. Parsing it to get a document
3. Free the parser using xmlparser.freeparser
4. Traversing through nodes .
5. Freeing the document.
The whole Process is executed in batch mode.
The problem occurs after executing the procedure for 5000 records and I get the error
ORA-04031: unable to allocate 4176 bytes of shared memory ("shared pool","unknown object","sga
heap","library cache")
Can you please help me out to overcome this problem
It's urgent
I have
Oracle version 8.1.7.0.0
XML version 1.2
OS Windows NT
To resolve the problem I have increase shared memory size and java initialization parameters ,which seems OK
Looking forward for your answer.

Hello, Reena
Your process flow seems to be correct in term of getting/freeing memory.
Following error
The problem occurs after executing the procedure for 5000 records and I get the error
ORA-04031: unable to allocate 4176 bytes of shared memory ("shared pool","unknown object","sga
heap","library cache")may be caused by memory leaks in xdk or memory fragmentation(due to get/free memory cycle)
To find out if this is an memory leak issue you could try to monitor V$SGASTAT from one session while running your batch process in another session.
To prevent (or lower its impact) fragmentation issues try to PIN objects, and adjust java_pool_size and shared_pool_reserved_size.
Anyway, counsult your Oracle DBA.
Oracle version 8.1.7.0.0I think, you should apply database patch first of all. The latest one (8.1.7.4.x) could be accured from Metalink.
