XML SQL Utility & table view

Hi,
I want to do an insert across multiple tables with the XML SQL Utility. I read I have to create a view over those tables.
How can I create a view for the tables below as example ?
Table Book with columns:
- Book-ID
- Book-Name
- Ref. To Price ( -> is a reference to Table Price (Price-ID))
Table Price with columns:
- Price-ID
- Price-DM
null

You have to create a view from SQL command
which means you have to have rights to create views.
Refer to Oracle's SQL Reference Vol.2
and look up CREATE VIEW. Better to ask your database administrator.

XML SQL Utility with mutilple tables

We are planning on using XML for our data insertion and retrieval
format in conjuction with Oracle 8i. We are studying the XML SQL
Utility for Java.
According the the Java class documentation on technet, the
OracleXMLSave:insertXML is used to store XML data into a single
table. What if the XML string that is passed to this method
needs to span multiple tables? (I want to the utility to perform
multiple INSERTs on different tables.) How can this be done.
Thanks,

Hi John,
If you want to do an insert across multiple tables, you can
create a view over those tables. If your view is complex and not
updatable then you can use insteadof triggers with your
non-updatable view. Hope this helps.

How to use my own DTD and table using the XML SQL utility.

Hey,
Here is my question. I have succesfully installed Oracle XML SQL utility and I had played around on that. Now I have my own DTD that too from Rosettanet(PIP). Tell me how can I use my own table, and my dtd using the existing utility. What are all the changes do I need to do. I am strugling it from past 4 days. I couldn't. Please help me!

Hi chris,
Yes, the SQL can be changed only by using Discoverer Administrator.
Open the report/workbook that is based on the custom SQL that you want to change in Discoverer Plus. Look at the Folder that is being used to select the columns of the report.
Open up the Discoverer Administrator with the id that has access to the tables referenced in the report. And the custom folder with the same name as in Disc Plus would be listed down in the Business Area (Which Business Area the custom folder belongs to can be determined with the help of disc plus).
Just open up that folder, and change the SQL in it. You can pasted your new sql in there and click on Validate SQL to validate it for errors. If no errors, then the custom folder is successfully changed.
In order to have it reflected, close your existing disc plus session and reopen it, and you can go about using the custom folder.
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

Updating a database using XML SQL Utility

Hi all,
It seems that the Oracle XML SQL Utility provides only to insert rows into a table/view. However, if one wants to update a table from an XML no support is available.
How does one proceed if this is to be achieved?
Thanks in advance.

While inserting i get a
oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException and further a
NumberFormatException. Which parameter do I have to set to avoid
these Exceptions. I can insert the file in my local db but I get
the Exception on the server db. The value I want to insert for
expample is 30,1. Maybe the JDBC-Driver tries to convert the String ;30,1+ to an
Integer-Object. This will cause the described Exception since
the Integer-Class requires ;.+ instead of ;,+ for decimal point.
I have another problem generating an xmlfile when there
are "Umlaute" in the data. E.g. V and \. Exchanging these to Oe
and Ue than it works fine.Use ISO-8859-1 character set to work with umlauts, e.g.:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'ISO-8859-1'?>
.. but you can use the default UTF-8 encoding too, umlauts will
be replaced by equivalents as ;CŸ+

XML SQL Utility - declaration error

Hi,
I'm trying to use the XSU API in a Java server page and am getting an error with the <?xml version='1.0'> declaration tag. The parser seems to think it is not well-formed. Here is what I am doing: Using JSP, I query my database and use XSU to return the results as an XML string. I'm working on an Oracle personal edition version 8.1.7 on an Windows 2000 machine. When I had the Microsoft XML Parser version 2.5 installed, XSU would work and it would print out the XML document tree view. The document was well-formed, according to IE5.5. However, I wanted to use an XSLT stylesheet that would print out the xml results in an HTML table. The MS XML Parser 2.5 had to be upgraded to version 3.0 in replace mode, in order for the XSLT stylesheets to work. When I upgraded, the stylesheets worked, but then for all the JSP pages that were utilizing the XML SQL Utility, when I tried to view the page in IE5.5, I would get the declaration tag error I mentioned above.
Any suggestions on how I can get the JSPs to work with XSU (without having to revert back to the older MS parser)? Is there another parser that I can use? I'm working with the Apache web server that Oracle personal edition installs.
Thanks,
SY

The XML Declaration needs to be:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
and it must be the very first bytes of the file. There must not be any whitespace before the <?xml version="1.0"?> in what the JSP returns to the browser.
This extra whitespace is frequently the cause of the problem in JSP cases that I've seen.

Hi,
Here is the problem. As per your suggestion I had installed
Jdk1.8.8 and jdbc driver too. Though I am having one JDBC driver
in oracle8i, I have downloaded from your site and set the env
path and run the env.bat file. Then when I tried to execute the
Java OracleXML getXML -user "scott/tiger" "select * from emp"
file I got runtime error. But first time what I did was I had
already run the oraclexmlsqlload file so there are lot of
chances for OracleXML class file to be deleted. So Again I ran
the oraclexmlsqlload bat file, so definitely it should load the
oraclexmlsql file and xmlparser file. I didn't get any error. So
I tried the file for xmlgenpkg it says package created with no
errors and when I tried the oraclexmlsqltest file I got the same
error...what I did get yesterday............

1.2 JVM crashes using XML SQL Utility 1.1.10 (NT 8.1.5)

I am trying to use the XML SQL Utility for Java (Oracle 8.1.5) to obtain a DTD or XML schema for tables in our database.
I have installed the XSU111.ZIP archive,
set the CLASSPATH and stuff, loaded the JAR
files (xmlparserv2.jar, oraclexmlsql.jar)
processed the xmlgenpkg.sql script (following the installation instructions)
When I execute the samples in Java, the JVM (JDK 1.2.2) crashes in javai.dll.
The same error occurs when I run java OracleXML getXML ....
The installation file (env.bat) lists the JDBC driver ZIP as CLASSES12.ZIP, which is of course, not available for 8.1.5, which is what the download instructions indicated is appropriate for XSU 1.1.1.
Any ideas? Do I need to upgrade to 8.1.6?
Can I patch the JDBC with classes12.ZIP.
By the way, when I execute the commands in PL/SQL using xmlgen package, everything is fine.
Regards and Much thanks

Set JDK_HOME to the directory where you install your JDK (Java Development Kit).
So instance, I've install JDK1.1.8 on my
C drive so
set JDK_HOME=c:\jdk1.1.8;c:\jdk1.1.8\bin

Help Needed -- Oracle XML/SQL utility and PL/SQL parser

Let's say we have an xml file
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<abc>
<def>
<ghi>test</ghi>
</def>
<jkl>
<mno>testing</mno>
</jkl>
</abc>
We can store the <def> tag in one table say def and <jkl> tag in another table say jkl.
Is there a way to combine def and jkl and insert in one table so that there in one row with two columns test and testing??

Hi,
Are u sure that it is a java enabled database? The most common
case of failure with the xmlgen package is because the loadjava
command did not succeed.
Please make sure that oraclexmlsqlload.bat file loaded all the
java procedures successfully. If not then u would have to java-
enable your database by running the initjvm script. (please see
the docs).
Thx

XML SQL Utility, Unicode

Hi,
I have some questions to the XML-SQL-Utility:
1.) Is there a bug in the oracle.xml.sql.query class:
OracleXMLQuery qry = new OracleXMLQuery(conn,"select POSITION from DATAS");
qry.setRowTag("DROW");
OracleXMLDocGenDOM gdoc = new OracleXMLDocGenDOM();
qry.getXML(gdoc);
conn.close();
Document docin = gdoc.getXMLDocumentDOM();
NodeList rows = docin.getDocumentElement().getElementsByTagName("DROW");
// The Node "DROW" wasn't found.
// It work if I do it below
NodeList rows = docin.getDocumentElement().getElementsByTagName("ROW");
// It doesn't matter what is set in the "qry1.setRowTag("DROW");"
(I use the sun parser)
2.) I have a problem by insertXML(Document);
I will insert a Document with a structure as below in my database:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<ROOTDOC>
<ROW>
<DOCUMENTREF>133-12224</DOCUMENTREF>
<TEXT>hello</TEXT>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<DOCUMENTREF>133-124</DOCUMENTREF>
<TEXT>world</TEXT>
</ROW>
</ROOTDOC>
XmlDocument sdoc = new XmlDocument();
Element rootDEl = sdoc.createElement("ROOTDOC");
sdoc. appendChild(rootDEl);
Element rowEl = sdoc.createElement("ROW");
Element docREl = sdoc.createElement("DOCUMENTREF");
docREl.appendChild(sdoc.createTextNode("133-12224"));
NodeList rows = sdoc.getDocumentElement().getElementsByTagName("ROW");
int size = rows.getLength();
System.out.println("SIZE: " size "\n");
// The size is null, what's wrong ?
OracleXMLSave save = new OracleXMLSave(conn, tabName);
int rowCount = save.insertXML(sdoc);
// It didn't insert something in my table !
3.) I save Unicode UTF-16 in my database with the XML SQL Utility:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<ROOTDOC>
<ROW>
<TEXT>D$55DD</TEXT>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<TEXT>tt%zu||</TEXT>
If I read it whit the oracle.xml.sql.query, it is Unicode UTF-8:
OUTPUT IS:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROOTDOC>
<ROW num="1">
<TEXT>D$55--</TEXT>
</ROW>
<ROW num="2">
<TEXT>tt%zu33</TEXT>
</ROW>
I want a output as the input (Unicode UTF-16).
Can anyone please advise on the problems.
Thanks

Hi H.Ozawa,
thanks for trying but non of the solution helped me, sorry.
Question 1:
I'll try it again like this:
OracleXMLQuery qry = new OracleXMLQuery(conn,"select POSITION from DATAS");
qry.setRowTag("DROW");
Document docin = qry.getXMLDOM();
conn.close();
NodeList rows = docin.getDocumentElement().getElementsByTagName("DROW");
// The Node "DROW" wasn't found.
Question 2:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<ROOTDOC>
<ROW>
<DOCUMENTREF>133-12224</DOCUMENTREF>
<TEXT>hello</TEXT>
</ROW>
<ROW>
<DOCUMENTREF>133-124</DOCUMENTREF>
<TEXT>world</TEXT>
</ROW>
</ROOTDOC>
XmlDocument sdoc = new XmlDocument();
Element rootDEl = sdoc.createElement("ROOTDOC");
sdoc. appendChild(rootDEl);
Element rowEl = sdoc.createElement("ROW");
Element docREl = sdoc.createElement("DOCUMENTREF");
docREl.appendChild(sdoc.createTextNode("133-12224"));
Element docTEl = sdoc.createElement("TEXT");
docTEl.appendChild(sdoc.createTextNode("hello"));
An error message occur:
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: java.lang.IllegalAccessError: try to access class com/sun/xml/tree/ParentNode from class project/dbase/xmlwritedb at project.dbase.xmlwritedb.main(xmlwritedb.java:33)

at com.borland.jbuilder.util.BootStrap.invokeMain(Unknown Source)
at com.borland.jbuilder.util.BootStrap.main(Unknown Source)
Question 3:
I try it like below but the output is "UTF-8" encoding
OracleXMLDocGenDOM gdoc = new OracleXMLDocGenDOM();
query.getXML(gdoc);
XMLDocument docin = (XMLDocument)gdoc.getXMLDocumentDOM();
docin.setEncoding("ISO-8859-1"); //docin.setEncoding("UTF-16");
NodeList rows = docin.getDocumentElement().getElementsByTagName("ROW");
Element row = (Element)rows.item( i );
NodeList elements = row.getElementsByTagName( "DOCUMENTREF" );
So you or someone have another idea to fix this problems.
Thanks

XML SQL Utility - settagcase - all tags are upper or lower

I am using the XML SQL Utility (XSU) for PL/SQL to generate a xml document from some tables and objects. Is it possible to have the xml elements start and end tags appear in the case of the objects I have defined (i.e. CamelCase)? I can either have them appear as all upper or all lower case. However the oracle documentation has a SETTAGCASE function with an option for "as are". Is this supposed to allow for the case to follow how i have defined the fields in the object? If not is there a way?
For example here is an object
create or replace TYPE     CREDIT_APPLICANTTYPE AS OBJECT
First VARCHAR2(15 BYTE),
Last VARCHAR2(35 BYTE),
Middle VARCHAR2(1 BYTE),
Suffix VARCHAR2(3 BYTE)
);Settagcase 0 option doesn't seem to do anything different than the upper_case option when i generate the xml
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_xmlque.htm#i1033636
set serveroutput on
declare
queryCtx dbms_xmlquery.ctxType;
charstring VARCHAR2(255);
outxml CLOB;
begin
    queryCtx := dbms_xmlquery.newContext('select CREDIT_APPLICANTTYPE(''Joe'',''Smith'',''A'',''Jr.'') as AppName from dual');
    dbms_xmlquery.settagcase(queryCtx, 0);
    outxml := dbms_xmlquery.getXml(queryCtx);
    dbms_xmlquery.closeContext(queryCtx);
    charstring := dbms_lob.substr(outxml, 255, 1);
    dbms_output.put_line(charString);
end;Output is in uppercase but i would like camel case:
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1">
<APPNAME>
<FIRST>Joe</FIRST>
<LAST>Smith</LAST>
<MIDDLE>A</MIDDLE>
<SUFFIX>Jr.</SUFFIX>
</APPNAME>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>

Actually I figured out the issue. Oracle automatically outputs the column alias as upper case unless you put it in quotes. I defined my object like this and it works with settagcase 0
create or replace TYPE CREDIT_APPLICANTTYPE AS OBJECT
"First" VARCHAR2(15 BYTE),
"Last" VARCHAR2(35 BYTE),
"Middle" VARCHAR2(1 BYTE),
"Suffix" VARCHAR2(3 BYTE)
);

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

Re: usage of XML SQL Utility

Hi there,
I have such a design issue, which I posted a few days ago and I reworded here. Hopefully, I made it clearer this time.
The working scenario, coded in Java, goes like this:
1> Given an XML string, I parse it out and get a set of values for a certain set of elements, say in one ROW.
2> I embed this set of values in the WHERE clause of a query string, do a SELECT.
3> Based on the result from the above SELECT, I do UPDATE, SELECT and INSERT to a few tables.
My question:
Could Oracle XML SQL Utility be used here? If yes, how?
From my reading so far, the Oracle XSU handles the SQL-XML and XML-SQL Mapping very well, in terms of a whole XML string. But, if at some point, I want to break the XML string and get some business logic mingled in it, say a simple calculation, how can I efficiently deal with it?
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Xml sql utility limitation

Hi, Oracle:
Are there upper limit with regard to OracleXMLSave.insertXML(),
such as upper limit for field size, upper limit for file size,
uppper limit for number of columns you can have, upper limit for
number of rows(records) you could have?
Prompt response will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Tony

resume which is of type LONG. I am using OracleXMLSave.insertXML
to do the insertion and oci8 jdbc connection. Here the error
messsage I got:

If I have a smaller size file, such as 1MB, it works. What could
be wrong? Oracle JDBC driver? the implementation of
OracleXMLSave.insertXML?
Here is the source code of my java program:
import oracle.xml.sql.dml.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
public class TestSave {
public static void main(String args[])
if (args.length != 2) {
System.out.println("Usage: java TestSave tablename
filename");
System.exit(1);
Connection conn;
String tablename = args[0];
String filename = args[1];
try{
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:oci8:@econ",
"rich", "roy33");
OracleXMLSave xmlSave = new OracleXMLSave(conn, tablename);
System.out.println("xmlSave = " + xmlSave);
int num_row ;
java.net.URL url=xmlSave.createURL(filename);
System.out.println("url="+url);
num_row=xmlSave.insertXML(url);
System.out.println("num_row: " + num_row);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
}// end main
}// end TestSave
======= End of source code ====================
Any suggestions? Please help!!!

XML SQL Utility & ROW-Tag

Hi,
I have a question about the XML SQL Utility.
Must I have the <ROOTDOC> and <ROW> TAG's in my XML-Document to insert the Document with the Utility in my Database, or can I use a random defined TAG as start TAG, e.g. the <BOOK_ID>.
XML-Document:
Book.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<!DOCTYPE ANWENDUNGEN SYSTEM "file:/E:/book.dtd">

<ROOTDOC>
<ROW>
<BOOK_ID>55-66</BOOK_ID>
<BOOK_NAME>JavaScript</BOOK_NAME>
<REF_TO_PRICE>2-AA</REF_TO_PRICE>
<PRICE_ID>2-AA</PRICE_ID>
<PRICE_DM>55.50DM</PPRICE_DM>
</ROW>
</ROOTDOC>
Can anyone help me, please ?
Thanks

You can use a "random" tag at the "ROW" tag, using the -rowTag XXXX command line option.
The utility will attempt to insert the CHILDREN elements of the rowset as if they were the columns of each ROW in the table whose name you provide.

Use xmlgen.setDateFormat('yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss') and try it out
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Mark Hansen:
I am having trouble with the xmlgen package within the XML SQL utility software version 1.1.1. I wrote a package that gets an XML file and loads it into a temporary CLOB and then using xmlgen.insertXML it inserts the XML into table. Everything works fine except for a date column in the table. I get an error when it tries to parse the date. Using the procedure xmlgen.setDateFormat, I tried to set the default date format, but I still get an error. Below you will find the text of the error message that I am getting:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception:
oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Exception
'java.text.ParseException:Unparseable date: "2000-08-24 08:34:24"' encountered
during processing ROW element 0All prior XML row changes were rolled back. in
the XML document.
ORA-06512: at "SITESTEPPER.SS_LOG", line 30
ORA-06512: at line 1
I've tried a number of diferent date formats including the database default date format. I have a work around to this but it involves the use of a temporary table. Please Help!
