You should install the XML SQL Utility for PL/SQL in your database. It is basically a set of JAVA classes that get loaded into the database. You will use the PL/SQL packages to access the methods on these classes. You should use the DBMS_XMLQUERY and DBMS_XMLSAVE packages.
You can run the install from your client.

SSMS 2012: Import XML File to SQL Table - 'value' is not a recognized built-in function name!!??

In my Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Studio, I executed the following SQL Query code:
--XQuery w3schools example using books1.xml in C:\Temp folder
---SQL Query W3books Title
---9 March 2015
USE XML_XQUERY
GO
CREATE TABLE W3Books(
BookID INt Primary Key,
Title VARCHAR(30));
INSERT INTO W3Books (BookID, Title)
SELECT x.book.query('BookID'), value('.', 'INT'),
x.book.query('title'), value('.', 'VARCHAR(30)')
FROM (
SELECT CAST(x AS XML)
FROM OPENROWSET(
BULK 'C:\Temp\books1.xml',
SINGLE_BLOB) AS T(x)
) AS T(x)
CROSS APPLY x.nodes('W3Books/book') AS x(book);
SELECT BookID, Title
FROM W3Books;
I got the following error messages:

'value' is not a recognized built-in function name.
Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 16
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'AS'.
I don't know why I got the error of 'value' is not a recognized built-in function name. Please kindly help and tell me what is wrong in my code and how to correct the error.
Thanks, Scott Chang
P. S.
(1) I mimicked the xml file and SQL Qeury code of Import XML File to SQL Table in
http://pratchev.blogspot.com/2008/11/import-xml-file-to-sql-table.html. The xml file and the code of this sample worked in my SSMS 2012 program.
(2) I am learning the "CAST" and "CROSS APPLY" in the Create Instances of XML Data of Microsoft MSDN - it is very abstract to me.

Hi Stan210, Thanks for your nice response.
I corrected my xml file as you pointed out.
I made some changes in some code statements of my SQLQueryW3BookTitle.sql as you instructed:
--XQuery w3schools example using books1.xml in C:\Temp folder
---SQL Query W3books Title
---10 March 2015
USE XML_XQUERY
GO
CREATE TABLE W3Books(
BookID INt Primary Key,
Title VARCHAR(30));
INSERT INTO W3Books (BookID, Title)
SELECT x.book.value('/BookID[1]', 'INT'),
x.book.value('/title[1]', 'VARCHAR(30)')
FROM (
SELECT CAST(x AS XML)
FROM OPENROWSET(
BULK 'C:\Temp\books1.xml',SINGLE_BLOB) AS T(x)
) AS T(x)
CROSS APPLY x.nodes('bookstore/book') AS x(book);
SELECT BookID, Title
FROM W3Books;
I executed my revised sql and I got the following Message and Results:
Msg 515, Level 16, State 2, Line 6
Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'BookID', table 'XML_XQUERY.dbo.W3Books'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails.
The statement has been terminated.
(0 row(s) affected)
Results:
BookID Title
I don't know why I just got the names of columns in Results and the "Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'BookID', table 'XML_XQUERY.dbo.W3Books'; column does not allow nulls, insert fails." in Messages. Please kindly help, advise me
how to correct the errors and respond again.
Many Thanks again,

XML parsing with SQL/PL-SQL

Hi,
My question is about how can an XML message can be best parsed using SQL/PL-SQL.
The scenario is as follow. The XML message is stored in a CLOB; only some of its data needs to be extracted; there are six different types of structures of XML; the size of each XML is about 50 lines (maximum depth level is 3); the data could be written in English or Greek or French or German or Russian; this is going to be done every hour and the parsing is going to be against 3,000 records approx.
In the development, I need to take into consideration performance. We are using Oracle 10, but we could migrate to Oracle 11 if necessary.
Apologies for this basic question but I have never done XML parsing in SQL/PL-SQL before.
Thank you.
PS I have copied this question to the XML forum.

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

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:

Create XML with PL/SQL

Hi,
What is the best way to create large XML in pl/sql?? and to read large XML from CLOB procedure parameter?????
Thanks

Use the internal XML-structures of the database, such as XMLType, XMLElement, XMLForrest. Have a look at the XMLDB-documentation.

XML display in SQL*Plus

Hi,
I have a data stored in table in XML format in a clob column. When I query the table containing the XML data only part of the XML is shown in SQL*Plus. Is there anyway that I can view the full XML data in SQL* Plus prompt?
Thanks,
Milton.

The SET LOBOFFSET, SET LONG and SET LONGCHUNKSIZE values affect how SQL*Plus fetches from CLOBs.

Problem loading XML-file using SQL*Loader

Hello,
I'm using 9.2 and tryin to load a XML-file using SQL*Loader.
Loader control-file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE BATCH_TABLE TRUNCATE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
FILENAME char(255),
XML_DATA LOBFILE (FILENAME) TERMINATED BY EOF
BEGINDATA
data.xml
The BATCH_TABLE is created as:
CREATE TABLE BATCH_TABLE (
FILENAME VARCHAR2 (50),
XML_DATA SYS.XMLTYPE ) ;
And the data.xml contains the following lines:
<?xml version="2.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE databatch SYSTEM "databatch.dtd">
<batch>
<record>
<data>
<type>10</type>
</data>
</record>
<record>
<data>
<type>20</type>
</data>
</record>
</batch>
However, the sqlldr gives me an error:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table BATCH_TABLE, column XML_DATA.
ORA-21700: object does not exist or is marked for delete
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 0

If I remove the first two lines
"<?xml version="2.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>"
and
"<!DOCTYPE databatch SYSTEM "databatch.dtd">"
from data.xml everything works, and the contentents of data.xml are loaded into the table.
Any idea what I'm missing here? Likely the problem is with special characters.
Thanks in advance,

I'm able to load your file just by removing the second line <!DOCTYPE databatch SYSTEM "databatch.dtd">. I dont have your dtd file, so skipped that line. Can you check if it's problem with ur DTD?

Generating XML through PL/SQL

Hi everyone,
I got a new task at work, and my task is to generate XML through PL/SQL.
I am using Oracle 11g database, and SQL Developer 3.0.
The purpose of this procedure is to upload xml file to a queue, so my BPEL process can access the queue and do what it does.
This is my first time writing a procedure that generates xml so bear with me.
Below is a sample of the xml file I received. I need to generate xml file below through PL/SQL. All the information in xml file will need to be retrieved from the database.
I need your help to start working on this procedure. Your help is very much appreciated.

Rooney,
First of all, I would use Oracle package UTL_DBWS to handle web service calls.
But if you choose to do all the work yourself to call web service, this is one of the options:
Since the size of your xml soap request is about 4k, you can just use pl/sql varchar2 variable to construct your xml.
Example:
cSoapRequest VARCHAR2(5000);
BEGIN
cSoapRequest := '<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
                         <soap:Body xmlns:ns1="http://www.ussc.gov/soa/casefile/event/types">
                         <caseFileUploadEvent xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3XX.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
                         xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.XXXX.gov/soa/casefile/event/types ../xsd/Case_META.xsd"
                         xmlns="http://www.XXXX.gov/soa/casefile/event/types">';
FOR recRow IN <your cursor> LOOP
    cSoapRequest := cSoapRequest || '<dateOfBirth>'|| TO_CHAR(recRow.DOB,'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI' )|| '</dateOfBirth>';
END LOOP;
...Then use package utl_http to send the request and recieve response.
Google pl/sql webservice,
Here is one:
Calling Web Service from PL/SQL (ORA-31011: XML parsing failed)
Hope this will give you an idea.

Save whole XML file in SQL table field

Hi All,
I want to save whole XML message in sql table field which is with datatype XML(.).. how can i achieve this.
Thanks in advance.
2Venture2

I did a prototype to do what you are asking. I actually haven't inserted into the xml data type in SQL Server before, so I was curious if that added any complexity. I'll just go through the mapping pieces and assume that you can easily find documentation
on how to insert data into SQL Server using the Add Generated Items --> Consume Adapter Service function.
The interesting piece was writing the map. I used a simple PO schema. My sample table was XmlRepository with a ID column, RepositoryID, and the RawXml field.
The script is an inline XSLT script that is as follows:
<xsl:element name="ns3:RawXml">
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[</xsl:text>
<xsl:copy-of select="/" />
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">]]></xsl:text>
</xsl:element>
The questoin right off is why the CDATA? Well, since the value of the RawXml element that needs to be inserted into SQL Server is XML data, it has to be wrapped in a CDATA tag. Otherwise, the XML data gets validated and will not properly make it to the SQL
Server. You can try it and see what I mean. Don't worry, the CDATA gets stripped before the XML gets written to the table.
The interesting piece are the xsl:text elements, which manually create a CDATA wrapper for the XML that ends up in the RawXml field. Apparently, the normal Grid Property for creating CDATA output doesn't work in conjunction with the xsl:copy-of function.
That tripped me up for a while!
What the map outputs is a document that looks like the following:
<ns0:Insert xmlns:array="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays" xmlns:ns3="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Sql/2008/05/Types/Tables/dbo" xmlns:ns0="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Sql/2008/05/TableOp/dbo/XmlRepository">
<ns0:Rows>
<ns3:XmlRepository>
<ns3:RawXml>
<![CDATA[<ns0:PurchaseOrder xmlns:ns0="http://XmlRepositoryDemo.PurchaseOrder">
<PONumber>PONumber_0</PONumber>
<CustomerNumber>CustomerNumber_0</CustomerNumber>
<PODate>PODate_0</PODate>
<Items>
<Item>
<ProductID>ProductID_0</ProductID>
<Quantity>Quantity_0</Quantity>
<Price>Price_0</Price>
</Item>
</Items>
</ns0:PurchaseOrder>]]>
</ns3:RawXml>
</ns3:XmlRepository>
</ns0:Rows>
</ns0:Insert>
The map can be called from a simple Orchestration, or even a messaging-only scenario, and sent across the wire in a request/reply as you would for normally sending data to SQL Server.
I hope this helps. It ended up being more interesting than I expected!

and X_SEQ_NUM = '1066505'
ORDER by 3, 7

( we are on a siebel created db)
and I get the following
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

</ROW>
</ROWSET>
(Apologies for the lack of outlining)
My question is about the the line "XML_F52E...." as it isn't right and I'm not sure how to proceed.
Any thoughts?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Richard,
Not sure, if i got it correctly.
You are talking abt the element name ?
then, always give meaningful short name to columns in the query.

I have to use XML in PL/SQL

Hi all,
I would like to know how to use XML in PL/sql. I would like to know how to go about it. I have installed Oracle 9i and what should I do next. I could not find any step by step documentation.
Please any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Kalpana.K

The following documentation on Oracle XML DB would be useful:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96620/toc.htm
And this one about Oracle XDK for PL/SQL:

How to generate XML file from SQL file !

I am new to XML publisher. I known one way to generate XML file is register one report file in concurrent manager.
But I want to generate XML file from sql file.
Could someone show me how to code in sql file, how to register is in concurrent manager.
Thanks !

Hi
Phew ... not sure we have the space here. So I can point you in the right direction:
1. XML data generation - there are two packages in the db you can use with a plsql procedure, XMLGEN and SQL XML. You can also use java APIs too. Try checking the db documentation and search for the above methods.
2. Registering the report - the system administrators guide will provide this info. Hooking the program up with XMLP is covered here - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/applications/publishing/resource/CM%20Whitepaper5.0.pdf
