XML parser used in Oracle...DOM or SAX?

Question

Hi,
My db version:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE    11.2.0.1.0    Production
TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
Question:
I get an XML feed and load it into a temporary table T1.
My requirement is to load it in the exact sequence as I get the rows in xml and also populate a column in the temporary table as a sequence like 1 2 3 corresponding to the rows in the xml
When I do load the xml, it gets loaded in same order the xml feed is sent. So no worries.
But while I was researching I came to know that Oracle could use either DOM or SAX parser. If it uses SAX, then the order is maintained as in XML. But if DOM is used, the order wont be maintained.
Please let me know, how I can ensure that the xml order is maintained as it is while loading into temp table.

Answer 1

I apologize, here is more details
{code}
CREATE TABLE XMLTEMPTBL
  PARAM      NVARCHAR2(30 BYTE),
  PARAMORDERSEQ NUMBER(3)
XML format:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<PARAM1>abc</PARAM1>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<PARAM2>def</PARAM2>
</ROW> 
<ROW>
<PARAM3>ghi</PARAM3>
</ROW> 
<ROW>
<PARAM4>jkl</PARAM4>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
PROCEDURE insertparams (p_xmldoc IN CLOB)
IS    
  insctx   DBMS_XMLSTORE.ctxtype;
  ROWS     NUMBER;     
BEGIN     
  /*inserting insdoc into a temp table*/
  insctx := DBMS_XMLSTORE.newcontext ('xmlTempTbl');
  ROWS := DBMS_XMLSTORE.insertxml (insctx, p_xmldoc);
  DBMS_XMLSTORE.closecontext (insctx);
END;
I want to insert into table this way:
select * from xmltemptb;
PARAM PARAMORDERSEQ
abc 1
def 2
ghi 3
jkl 4
{code}
My procedure is not 100% correct (but it gives an idea what code I am using to load into table), but I want to ensure the xml rows are loaded into the table in the same sequence.
