XML in the database

Having just attended a session on Oracle/XML at OpenWorld... it
is still not clear where or when Oracle will provide a suitable
solution for the storage and retreival of XML documents with
highly-flexible schemas.
As I understand it, the existing solutions (8.1.5) (with
performance as an imporant consideration) are:
- Use Intermedia with section searching/indexing. This is not
suitable for applications with highly-flexible schemas. From my
understanding of Intermedia, indexing for section searching
requires explicit section definitions -- an expensive operation
for large databases. This would be similar to creating a new
index on a table for each new element the user desires to search
on.
- Map to a structured schema. While this is effective for
applications with very static schemas or leveraging existing
database schemas, with a highly-flexible document schema this
implies either a) creating new "shadow" tables for each distinct
schema or b) altering the table with each addition of a new
document element.
I am very eager to see what Oracle has to offer in this area. I
can find no technical documentation discussion any soon-to-come
approaches. I have heard mention at OpenWorld of expansions to
Intermedia to support name-value pair searching, etc., but still
no in-depth explanations.
Can anyone here shed any light on this?

If you are looking for a document-centric solution, you should
check out the Oracle Internet File System (iFS) which supports
XML. They have a demo at the Oracle campground.

But what is the problem with the initial solution given that split the XML into the data?
I mean you could do something like this?

Generating XML From the Database

I'm having trouble formatting xml generated from the database. Here is the format I am trying to generate:
<ADB_DOCUMENT DataSource="CUSTOM_ATTR" FormatVersion="1.1">
     <CUSTOM Table="LOT" Name="K12345.01">
          <ATTR Name="LOT_GROUP_ID" Value="FU023" />
          <ATTR Name="INGOT_ID" Value="FU023-002001" />
          <ATTR Name="VENDOR_LOT" Value="F98765-1" />
     </CUSTOM>
     <CUSTOM Table="PRODUCT" Name="KT5499">
          <ATTR Name="PHOTOCODE" Value="P-89" />
          <ATTR Name="DIE_STATUS" Value="" />
          <ATTR Name="WAFER_SIZE" Value="200" />
     </CUSTOM>
     <CUSTOM Table="EQUIPMENT" Name="KLA21XX">
          <ATTR Name="VENDOR" Value="KLA-Tencor" />
          <ATTR Name="GRADE" Value="A" />
          <ATTR Name="SERVICE" Value="NICE" />

The data is selected from a view. The SQL looks like this:

This is the sqlxml that I have created.
SELECT XMLElement(

The problems I am trying to resolve are:
1. THE <ADB_DOCUMENT> tag is generated for each row. I just want 1 <ADB_DOCUMENT> tag to wrap the entire document.
2. I need a linefeed character (\n in c) at the end of each tag as in the sample output in the beginning of the post. I tried concatenating a chr(10) to the end of the </ATTR> tags, but sqlplus truncates anything after the chr(10) in the output file. (I am piping this output to a file using a table function).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

1. THE <ADB_DOCUMENT> tag is generated for each row. I just want 1 <ADB_DOCUMENT> tag to wrap the entire document.You have to deal with two levels of aggregation, so here's one way to do it :
SELECT XMLElement("ADB_DOCUMENT",
         XMLAttributes(adb_document_datasource as "DataSource", adb_document_formatversion as "FormatVersion"),
         XMLAgg(custom_element)
       ) as xmlresult
FROM (
SELECT adb_document_datasource
       , adb_document_formatversion
       , XMLElement("CUSTOM",
           XMLAttributes(custom_table as "Table", custom_name AS "Name"),
           XMLAgg(
             XMLElement("ATTR",
               XMLAttributes(attr_name AS "Name", attr_value AS "Value")
         ) as custom_element
FROM export_table
GROUP BY adb_document_datasource
         , adb_document_formatversion
         , custom_table
         , custom_name
GROUP BY adb_document_datasource
       , adb_document_formatversion
2. I need a linefeed character (\n in c) at the end of each tag as in the sample output in the beginning of the post.Do you really need to introduce whitespaces in your document?
Depending on your database version, there are two methods to serialize your output and pretty-print it :
11g : XMLSerialize function, with the INDENT option
10g : Extract function
For example,
SELECT XMLSerialize(document
         XMLElement("ADB_DOCUMENT",
         as clob indent size = 2
FROM ...
SELECT XMLElement("ADB_DOCUMENT",
       ).extract('/*').getclobval()
FROM ...You can then use DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.clob2file to write the file with a single call.

JDeveloper can not transform XML in the database??

HI Gentlemen,
I have a small application to transform an XML instance from XQuery into HTML in some way. This should be done in an XSQL page in JDeveloper.
I have the following experience:
XQuery transformation is OK as long as the stylesheet is in the application as an XSL file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding='windows-1252'?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="rtest.xsl" ?>

<page connection="gksconnection" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql" >

     return $i'
    PASSING xml_document
    RETURNING CONTENT
AS result
FROM z
</xsql:query>
</page>Transformation is not done, when the same stylesheet is in XMLDB as a resource

Creating an XML for the database having link to a table in another database

I have a database in which a table holds the link to table in different database.
I am not able to create the XML file.It is giving me an error
Error# 2516:XMLExporter Method Run of Object '_Application' Failed.
Is there any alternate or round about process to generate an XML file.

I assume this is MS Access database? What version?
Is the link valid from within Access? Can you see the remote table?
You could make a copy of this mdb file and just remove this link table to see if the exporter runs to completion without errors.

Read XML into the database

Hi,
If I have a XML file and want to read its attributes into matching columns in a table, what is the best way to map the xml e.g. firstname to a firstname column in the table?
<name>
<firstname>Bill</firstname>
<last>Gates</last>
</name>
Thanks

Why do you want to do this? (Might help with the answer).

Hello Anybody, I have a question. Can any of you please suggest me how to make an xml file from the database table with all the rows? Note:- I am having the XSD Schema file and the resulted XML file should be in that XSD format only.

Hello Anybody, I have a question. Can any of you please suggest me how to make an xml file from the database table with all the records?
Note:- I am having the XSD Schema file and the resulted XML file should be in that XSD format only.

The Oracle documentation has a good overview of the options available
Generating XML Data from the Database
Without knowing your version, I just picked 11.2, so you made need to look for that chapter in the documentation for your version to find applicable information.
You can also find some information in XML DB FAQ

Store XML Publisher report in the database

Hi all,
Is is possible to generate an XML Publisher report in the background and store the report as a blob in the database. I have an APEX application that needs to generate the report when the user clicks an 'Update' button. This report can then be accessed at a later date (via a hyper-link on another page) and will show the report that was stored on that date. Basically the report needs to be point in time.
Thanks
Grant

Hi,
you might have your reasons to want to store the entire report in the db as an object ... But wouldn't it be simpler to just add an extra DATE column to filter, and generate the report at runtime?
What if the data changes in the meantime?
Just, an idea ...
Grtz.

How to load a XML file into the database

Hi,
I've always only loaded data into the database by using SQL-Loader and the data format was Excel or ASCII
Now I have to load a XML.
How can I do?
The company where I work has Oracle vers. 8i (don't laugh, please)
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Tough job especially if the XML data is complex. The have been some similar question in the forum:
Using SQL Loader to load an XML File -- use 1 field's data for many records
SQL Loader to upload XML file
Hope they help.

Sujoy

I want to store an xml file into database, and transport it to the XI.

tell me in how many ways we can store a xml file in database.
one i know is.- create a table with field same as that of XML. store XML file data in it
and at the time of transfering data to XI fatch data from table and create an XML file and transfer...
tell me if u know some more

Dear Swethi,
You can move images to SAP using SE78. then u can use them where ever u you require them.
SE78->GRAPHICS->BMAP here give ur image name and click on save

How to parse XML string fetched from the database

i want to parse the XML string which is fetched from the oracle database.
i have inserted the string in xml format in the database. The type of the field in which it is inserted is varchart2.
I am successfully getting it using jdbc, storing it in a String.
Now it is appended with xml version 1.0 and string is ready for parsing.
Now i am making following programming.
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = Builder.parse(xmlString);
Element root = doc.getDocumentElement();
NodeList node = root.getElementsByTagName("product");
But i am getting IOException at the statement
Document doc = Builder.parse(xmlString);
there fore i request u to kindly help me in solving this error.
-regards
pujan

DocumentBuilder does not have a method parse with xml string as aparameter. The string should be a xml document uri.
Convert xml string to StringReader.
parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(xmlString)));

Convert the Database records to a standard XML file format?

Hai,
i want to convert the Database records to a standard XML file
format which includes the schema name, table name, field name
and field value. i am using Oracle 8.1.7. Is there any option
please help me
Thanks in advance.

You could put the files somewhere and I can export them as QuickTime. Or you could find anyone you know who has Director. Or do the 30 day trial download
Another approach would be to play the DCR in a browser window, and do a screen recording. But that’s unlikely to give the perfect frame rate that you would get by exporting from Director.

Would you put XML and HTML files stored in the database as files?

Hi,
Basically that is my question. My criteria is that I will be given some XML files, I need to save the XML file somewhere for future reference. However I also have to store when it was registered and so on.
Would you install this in the database? Or you would just store the path where it is deployed?
Regards,
Sim085

Hi,
Basically that is my question. My criteria is that I
will be given some XML files, I need to save the XML
file somewhere for future reference. However I also
have to store when it was registered and so on. So the XML won't be changing unless the registration date is updated?
A file modification time could give you the same effect.
Would you install this in the database? Or you would
just store the path where it is deployed?I'd favor the latter for the sake of an argument.
If you put it in the database, you wouldn't be able to query for the XML except by ID or registration date. Not much point in having it there.

Inset a XML file in the database

How to insert the XML file in the XML type field in the database?

This will work
INSERT INTO nonexistant_table
   (xml_col)
VALUES
   (XMLTYPE('<?xml version="1.0"?>
             <rnode>
               <cnode1>value</cnode1>
             </rnode>')
   );but without knowing what version you are on and what your requirements really are I can't say what other options are available to you. Just search this forum for INSERT, look at some of the methods that are being used to load XML into a table and then read up on the corresponding Oracle documentation.

Can I get the oracle database schema in xml like the original ones

Working with Migration Workbench I've found that uses an XML
with the schema of the original database. I'm asking if I can
get the equivalent XML for the oracle model.
I need a quickly way of get in XML the structure (not data) of
my oracle databases.
Any idea?

Ok, it is unclear on what is happening here.
Are you saying that when the webclient gets the data that it is not honoring the quote characters? Or the processing of the data buffer is causing issues?
This is what I see the of your example text which is trying to be parse out:
<a onmouseover="EnterContent('ToolTip','תווית על בגד: ’’תן לאישה לכבס. זה תפקידה’’','<u><span style=color:#000099;>כתב: Spook בתאריך: 08.03.15 שעה: 22:11</span></u><br>מחאת טוויטר קמה בעקבות תוויות שוביניסטיות שהדפיסה חברת אופנה באינדונזיה לפיהן תפקיד הכביסה מוטל על האישה. החברה התנצלה אך כנראה רק עשתה רק יותר נזק לע...'); Activate();">";
It appears to me that the escapes `’` does not have matching `“` anywhere within the tooltip. So it appears that the page properly places left quotes in when processing the page, but the raw html has broken text.
Hence a garbage in, garbage out situation.
