Xml query help

I have the XML below stored in a table in an XML field. I wish to query this record for the <HISTORY_BLOCK> data and get on record for each <row>. ie. I want to do something like
Select
 extractvalue(detail, '/S12/HISTORY_BLOCK/RESULT),
 extractvalue(detail, '/S12/HISTORY_BLOCK/ACTION),
 extractvalue(detail, '/S12/HISTORY_BLOCK/DEVICE_TYPE),
 extractvalue(detail, '/S12/HISTORY_BLOCK/RECORD_NUMBER)
FROM
 extract(table.field, '/S12/HISTORY_BLOCK)
which returns multiple records, one for each row. ie.
TIME OUT,DISABLE,TASL,1,TASL,015F,2
NOT SUCCESSFUL,DISABLE,TASL,1,TASL,015D,4
NOT SUCCESSFUL,DISABLE,TASL,1,TASL,015C,6
NOT SUCCESSFUL,DISABLE,ENDOFCAV,1,TASL,0157,8
NOT SUCCESSFUL,DISABLE,ENDOFCAV,1,TASL,0155,10
NOT SUCCESSFUL,DISABLE,ENDOFCAV,1,TASL,0154,12
NOT SUCCESSFUL,DISABLE,TASL,1,TASL,0153,14

TIME OUT,DISABLE,TASL,1,TASL,0151,18
NOT SUCCESSFUL,DISABLE,TASL,1,TASL,0150,20
Reading the "Oracle9i Application Developers Guide - Fundamentals" manual, Table Functions, you can use a PL-SQL Table Function to transform the data and return multiple records from a single record in. As my XML data structure is not set but has many formats, I will need many PL-SQL functions to get the data out.
Can you please check the Oracle resources to see whether there is a straight SQL answer to my requirements.
Example of a single record of XML stored in the detail field.

Aussie_boy, there was a slight problem with the xml instance you posted, so i have taken the content only for the history blocks of your interest to make this sample.
you can do it very well what you want using a combination of TABLE,XMLSEQUENCE and EXTRACT functions.

XML Query Help row with no data

declare @address table
AddressID int,
AddressType varchar(12),
Address1 varchar(20),
Address2 varchar(20),
City varchar(25),
AgentID int
insert into @address
select 1, 'Home', 'abc', 'xyz road', 'RJ', 1 union all
select 2, 'Office', 'temp', 'ppp road', 'RJ', 1 union all
select 3, 'Home', 'xxx', 'aaa road', 'NY', 2 union all

SELECT a.* from @address a
where a.AddressID = 1
FOR XML path('Addresses')
SELECT a.* from @address a
where a.AddressID = 9
FOR XML path('Addresses')
Issue:
As you can see for second query where AddressID = 9 is not exists so xml is not generated but
my expected result is for second query is
<Addresses>
<AddressID />
<AddressType />
<Address1 />
<Address2 />
<City />
<AgentID />
</Addresses>
Thanks in advance for all your help.

First of all: Your expectation is wrong. Sorry to say that. But your SQL statement for A.AddressID = 9 does not return a row. So no row is converted. I hope you C it: void.
From the XML viewpoint:
<Addresses>
<AddressID />
<AddressType />
<Address1 />
<Address2 />
<City />
<AgentID />
</Addresses>
is equivalent to
<Addresses />
which is equivalent to
void
You C. Sorry got infeCted some how ;)
The only meaningful result in XML would be:
<Addresses ID="1">
<AddressType>Home</AddressType>
<Address1>abc</Address1>
<Address2>xyz road</Address2>
<City>RJ</City>
<AgentID>1</AgentID>
</Addresses>
<Addresses ID="9"/>
Cause now Addresses (Really? A plural form for a single entity?) transports the meaning, well there is no data (no row) for it. We tried to find it, but we failed. In opposite to
<Addresses>
<AddressID>9</AddressID>
<AddressType />
<Address1 />
<Address2 />
<City />
<AgentID />
</Addresses>
<Addresses ID="9">
<AddressType />
<Address1 />
<Address2 />
<City />
<AgentID />
</Addresses>
Which says: well, we have a row with the ID 9, but the rest of the columns is empty.
The problem is mere semantics. But it's an important difference.
Now for your problem: Why do you expect this? Where do can you work with such a kind of informationless result?
btw, as you're using already a table variable (+1), you should also use
table value constructors like
INSERT INTO @address
VALUES ( 1, 'Home', 'abc', 'xyz road', 'RJ', 1 ),
( 2, 'Office', 'temp', 'ppp road', 'RJ', 1 ),
( 3, 'Home', 'xxx', 'aaa road', 'NY', 2 ),
( 4, 'Office', 'ccc', 'oli Com', 'CL', 2 ),
( 5, 'Temp', 'eee', 'olkiu road', 'CL', 2 ),
( 6, 'Home', 'ttt', 'loik road', 'NY', 3 );
I would use a tally table, when you really need this:
DECLARE @address TABLE
AddressID INT ,
AddressType VARCHAR(12) ,
Address1 VARCHAR(20) ,
Address2 VARCHAR(20) ,
City VARCHAR(25) ,
AgentID INT
INSERT INTO @address
VALUES ( 1, 'Home', 'abc', 'xyz road', 'RJ', 1 ),
( 2, 'Office', 'temp', 'ppp road', 'RJ', 1 ),
( 3, 'Home', 'xxx', 'aaa road', 'NY', 2 ),
( 4, 'Office', 'ccc', 'oli Com', 'CL', 2 ),
( 5, 'Temp', 'eee', 'olkiu road', 'CL', 2 ),
( 6, 'Home', 'ttt', 'loik road', 'NY', 3 );
WITH n1
AS ( SELECT *
FROM ( VALUES ( 1), ( 1), ( 1), ( 1) ) Q ( n )
n2
AS ( SELECT a.n
FROM n1 a ,
n1 b ,
n1 c ,
n1 d
NumberTally
AS ( SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( ORDER BY n ) AS n
FROM n2
SELECT NT.n AS [@ID] ,
a.AddressType ,

a.Address2 ,
a.City ,
a.AgentID
FROM NumberTally NT
LEFT JOIN @address a ON a.AddressID = NT.n
WHERE NT.n IN ( 1, 9 )
FOR XML PATH('Address');
or the void version:
DECLARE @address TABLE
AddressID INT ,
AddressType VARCHAR(12) ,
Address1 VARCHAR(20) ,
Address2 VARCHAR(20) ,
City VARCHAR(25) ,
AgentID INT
INSERT INTO @address

exec ctx_ddl.add_field_section('mysectiongroup','c','c');
create index my_index on xml (xmltext) indextype is ctxsys.context parameters('section group mysectiongroup');
select count(*) from xml where contains (xmltext,
'(steve within ( c within (b within a)))');
and count = 0, How can I get this to work ?

Seems the insert left out my tags
should look like this with lb = < and rb = >
insert into xml values (1,"'lb a rb lb b rb lb c rb steve lb/c rb lb/b rb lb/a rb'");

Help Needed XML query

I have troubles with my XML query. It returns to many results and double results.
My code
select xmlelement("test", XMLAgg(xmlelement("Customer", XmlAttributes(a.CUSTOMER_ID "cid"))),
XMLAgg(xmlelement("Account", xmlagg(xmlelement("Account", b.ACCOUNT_ID) ))),
XMLAgg(xmlelement("ServicePoint", xmlagg(xmlelement("sp", c.SPID) ))) ).extract('*').getstringval() xml
From DM_SERVICE_POINT c, DM_CUSTOMER a, DM_ACCOUNT b where a.CUSTOMER_ID = b.CUSTOMER_ID And a.CUSTOMER_ID=c.CUSTOMER_ID AND a.CUSTOMER_ID='15058'
group by a.CUSTOMER_ID
i have 1 customer id in the table dm_customer, 2 account_id 's that are linked to customer_id with a FK. DM_Servicepoint contains 6 rows that are linked to dm_customer with a FK.
My result is 1 result for customer, thats correct but account shows 12 results, where i expect 2 results
and Service point shows also 12 records where i expect 6 records.
There is no direct link between account and service point but both are linked to customer. Each customer can have 1 or 2 account And each customer can have 1 or many servicepoints.
Can you help me?

Now to see whether we can get this to work with XML....Turns out it's a lot easier than I thought it would be:
SQL> select dbms_xmlgen.getxml('select c.name
2 , cursor(select a.acctno, a.name
3 from my_accounts a
4 where a.cust_id = c.id ) as accounts
5 , cursor(select s.sp_ref
6 from my_service_points s
7 where s.cust_id = c.id ) as srv_points
8 from my_customers c
9 ') from dual

Problem in xml query

Hi
I am working on BLS and having problem in xml query.I want to perform some calculation over xml columns.Than total of this as a new column.I can do this part in logic editor itself but can i do these both task by XSLT.
Can be made our own XSLT for this ?
I am feeling kind of fear to xslt. Can anybody help me in this.
Thanks a lot in advance
thomas

Ram,
In xMII there is a list of predefined xslt transforms that do something similar to what you are explaining. The 3 that I think may be what you are looking for are
they are under Calculation Transformations and Subtotal Transformation take a look at these and tell me if they are doing what you want to accomplish. In the xMII help file do a search on Inline Transforms or navigate to Advanced Topics -> Inline Transforms -> Predefined Inline Transforms. In this section there are examples of how to use these transforms and apply them in the query templates. If this is not what you are looking for can you explain in a little more detail along with a simple example of how you want this transform to work. Also why do you want to use xslt if you can already accomplish this in BLS?
Regards,
Erik

XML query structure problem

Hi experts,
I am looking for help on the following XML query. I have a table (example) organized as such:
meas data_element
ABC rate
DEF rate1
DEF rate2
DEF rate3
GHI rate
JKL rate1a
JKL rate2b I'm trying to keep the "meas" column as the top node attribute, with the "data_elements" as attributes of the children of "meas"
In short, I'm looking for the following output, but, well..keep coming up short.
<meas id="ABC">
 <data_elements>
 <data_element id="rate">
 <rpt>false</rpt>
 </data_element>
 </data_elements>
</meas>
<meas id="DEF">
 <data_elements>
 <data_element id="rate1">
 <rpt>false</rpt>
 </data_element>
 <data_element id="rate2">
 <rpt>false</rpt>
 </data_element>
 <data_element id="rate3">
 <rpt>false</rpt>
 </data_element>
 <data_elements>
</meas>
.....and so forth...I'm having trouble with getting the multiple rows of 'data_element' under 'data_elements', and under the single 'meas' one node, any suggestions? My code keeps generating multiple rows. The rpt node is a constant value of 'false'
Thanks

You have to group, and aggregate using XMLAgg :

SQL>
SQL> with sample_data (meas, data_element) as (

3 select 'DEF', 'rate1' from dual union all
4 select 'DEF', 'rate2' from dual union all
5 select 'DEF', 'rate3' from dual union all
6 select 'GHI', 'rate' from dual union all
7 select 'JKL', 'rate1a' from dual union all
8 select 'JKL', 'rate2b' from dual
9 )
10 select xmlserialize(content
11 xmlagg(
12 xmlelement("meas",
13 xmlattributes(meas as "id")

19 )
20 order by data_element -- if necessary
21 )

No method found for XML query element

I have an EJB module which contains some entity beans.

This problem can be resolved by un-installing the IDE, removing my user directory, and re-installing the IDE (I am using SunOne Studio 5 SE Update 1). The problem is that it returns with alarming regularity.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any help would be much appreciated.

Sometimes, but not always, this exception appears in the ide.log before the error first occurs.

How to call both xacute query and xml query inside a single applet

Hi,
I am very new to XMII. Trying with a simple exercises now.
1. I have a Business Logic Transaction which will call external application using web services then it will get an output as xml and storing it in C:\.
2. Then I created one xacute query which will call the transaction
3. Then I created a xml query that will read the xml in c:\ and I too created a visual display template(ichart) for it
4. Created a html file -- created a applet , called all the 3 inside it. NOt getting any graph in IE
5. But if I call only xml query and display query its working
following are my HTML file:
<html>
<head>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Order Percent Complete</title>
</head>
<body>

<APPLET NAME="MyApplet" WIDTH="640" HEIGHT="400" CODE="iChart" CODEBASE="/Illuminator/Classes" ARCHIVE="illum8.zip" MAYSCRIPT>
<PARAM NAME="QueryTemplate" VALUE="UserTemplates/POTxnTemplate">
<PARAM NAME="QueryTemplate" VALUE="UserTemplates/POTemplate">
<PARAM NAME="DisplayTemplate" VALUE="UserTemplates/POVisual">
</APPLET>

</body>
</html>
6. In POTxnTemplate -- calling Transaction BL
In POTemplate -- fetching xml from c:\
In POVisual -- displaying the ichart (using POTemplate)
Can any one help me with this?
I am doing in the right path?
Thanks in Advance,
Murugappan.

Hello,
You can only enter one query template into an applet. Use the xacute query template. In the transaction assign the output of the web services results to a transaction property of type xml making sure you select the "Output Parameter?" option. These results will need to be in xMII format. Then open the xacute query template and verify that the output parameter you created is selected as an Output on the transaction tab.

Merge Join Cartesian in XML query

Hi Sir
I am getting Merge join cartesian in the below XML query
SELECT
x.empno,
x1.empno AS INDEXempno
FROM
emp_vw x,
emp_index x1,
table (xmlsequence(extract(x1.xml_data,'/emp/org/constituent/'))) c
WHERE x.empno = extractvalue(VALUE(c),'/constituent/code/text()');
I am getting Merge join cartesian in XML query. whereeas below query i am running by I am not getting merge join cartesian
SELECT
x.empno,
x1.empno AS INDEXempno
FROM
emp_vw_v6 x,
emp_index_v6 x1,
table (xmlsequence(extract(x1.xml_data,'/emp/org/constituent/'))) c
WHERE x.empno = extractvalue(VALUE(c),'/constituent/code/text()');
Here emp_vw is a view and emp_index is a table.This is not giving merge join cartesian
However both the view and table are interdependent.
Please help me to resolve the performance of the first query as it is taking a lot of time to execute.?
Thanks & Regards
Thakur Manoj R

Please post a working test case, and follow the guidelines here : {message:id=9360002}
What are the differences between the view and table in the first query and the two others (*_v6) in the second query?

Different row count for select versus insert in XML query

Hi,
I encounter a situation where a SELECT * returns a different rows count than an INSERT INTO... (SELECT *) by xmltable join. This makes no sense at all!!!
In breif, I tried to convert xml data into traditional relational tables. I wrote an xml query to select data from xmltable... I checked row count. When I used "create table as select" that was the same query above, I got correct row count. However when I used "insert into select" that was the same query above, I got the wrong info in the table I just inserted.
Does any one have any idea what caused this issue? Thanks for your help.

Query Help-2

Query Help:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=45&thread=471180&tstart=15&trange=15
It seems I have confused enough people with my improper presentation of query. Sorry guys. I will restate my question with different table names.
The above was my previous posting, which was not clear..so Iam restating my problem as follows....
I have the following tables
Customer(custID, Name, Address)
Order(custID, OrderID, orderDate)
CreditCard(custID, creditCard#, creditCardType)
Now if I have 3 records in Order with custID 100 and 2 records in CreditCard as
Order:
100,A001,11/22/03
100,A002,11/24/03
100,A003,12/02/03
CreditCard:
100,42323232..., VISA
100,5234234...., MASTER
Now how can I get
custID, Name, Address, OrderID, orderDate, creditCard#, creditCarType
data in minimum no. of records....
I think I have made my query clear..
now please help me guys...
thanks so much for your help.

You are right.
But frankly the actual tables on my database are not customer,orders and creditcards..but I just tried to reproduce the problem with these tables, please ignore that user needs a refund etc situtaion. If the tables were actually order,creditcards etc..it would have been a problem to be considered.
Can you please help me with the query
if I have m rows in Order and n rows in CreditCard. I will get m*n records, I looking for max(m,n).
With the following fields in my query result,
custID, Name, Address, OrderID, orderDate, creditCard#, creditCarType
from Customer, Order, CreditCard tables
Thanks so much for your htlp

SQL Query Help - Is this possible or impossible????

Hi guys,
I need help with an SQL query that I'm trying to develop. It's very easy to explain but when trying to implement it, I'm struggling to achieve the results that I want.....
For example,
I have 2 tables
The first table is:
1) COMPANY create table company (manufacturer varchar2(25),
                                                      date_established date,
                                                      location varchar2(25) );My sample test date is:
insert into company values ('Ford', 1902, 'USA');
insert into company values ('BMW', 1910, 'Germany');
insert into company values ('Tata', 1922, 'India');The second table is:
2) MODELS create table models (manufacturer varchar(25),
                                             model varchar2(25),
                                             price number(10),
                                             year date,
                                             current_production_status varchar2(1) ) ;My sample test data is:
insert into models values ('Ford', 'Mondeo', 10000, 2010, 0);
insert into models values ('Ford', 'Galaxy', 12000,   2008, 0);
insert into models values ('Ford', 'Escort', 10000, 1992, 1);
insert into models values ('BMW', '318', 17500, 2010, 0);
insert into models values ('BMW', '535d', 32000,   2006, 0);
insert into models values ('BMW', 'Z4', 10000, 1992, 0);
insert into models values ('Tata', 'Safari', 4000, 1999, 0);
insert into models values ('Tata', 'Sumo', 5500,   1996, 1);
insert into models values ('Tata', 'Maruti', 3500, 1998, 0);And this is my query:
SELECT
        com.manufacturer,
        com.date_established,
        com.location,
        DECODE(nvl(mod.current_production_status, '0'), '0', '-', mod.model),
        DECODE(nvl(mod.current_production_status, '0'), '0', '-', mod.price),
        DECODE(nvl(mod.current_production_status, '0'), '0', '-', mod.year),
        mod.current_production_status
FROM
       company com,
       models mod
WHERE
      mod.manufacturer = com.manufacturer
      and com.manufacturer IN ('Ford', 'BMW', 'Tata')
      and mod.current_production_status IN (1,0)
ORDER BY
        mod.current_production_status DESCWhat I want the query to output is this:
com.manufacturer        com.date_established          com.location          mod.model          mod.price             mod.year     mod.current_production_status
Ford               1902                    USA               Escort               10000               1992          1

If current_production_status is 0 it means the manufacturer does not have any discontinued models and all are in procuction.
The rule is only one record per manufacturer is allowed to have a current_production_status of 1 (so only one model from the selection the manufactuer offers is allowed to be discontinued).
So the query should output the one row where current_production_status is 1 for each manufacturer.
If for a given manufacturer there are no discontinued models and all have a current_production_status of 0 then ouput a SINGLE row that only includes the data from the COMPANY table (as above). The rest of the columns from the MODELS table should be populated with a '-' (hyphen).
My query as it is above will output all the records where current status is 1 or 0 like this
com.manufacturer        com.date_established          com.location          mod.model          mod.price          mod.year     mod.current_production_status

        mod.current_production_status
FROM
       company com,
       models mod
WHERE
      mod.manufacturer = com.manufacturer
      and com.manufacturer = 'Ford'
      and mod.current_production_status IN (1,0)
ORDER BY
        mod.current_production_status DESCThe value of:
and com.manufacturer = 'Ford'will be dependent on front end user input....
When I run the query above I get all the rows where current_production_status is either 1 or 0.
I only require the rows where current_production_status is 1.
So if I amend it to look like this:
     and mod.current_production_status = 1This works....
BUT if a user now passes in more than one manufacturer EG:
and com.manufacturer IN ('Ford', 'BMW')The query will only return the one row for Ford where current_production_status is 1. However because BMW has no models where current_production_status is 1 (all 3 are 0), I still want this to be output - as one row....
So like this:
com.manufacturer        com.date_established          com.location          mod.model          mod.price             mod.year     mod.current_production_status
Ford               1902                    USA               Escort               10000               1992          1
BMW               1910                    Germany               -               -               -          0So (hopefully you understand), I want both cases to be catered for.....whether a user enters one manufacturer or more than one...
Thanks you so much!
This is really driving me insane :-(
