XML stored as object relational fails

We are looking at implementing a system to store Universal Business Language (UBL) 1.0 XML invoices in an XMLType column in 10g. I've registered all the requisite schemas (the UBL invoice comprises a rather complicated hierarchy of 19 individual namespaces), but when I come to create the table:
CREATE TABLE UBLInvoices (
invoice_id NUMBER,
invoice_spec XMLTYPE)
XMLTYPE invoice_spec STORE AS OBJECT RELATIONAL
XMLSCHEMA "Invoice-1.0"
ELEMENT "Invoice";
I get an error message to the effect that a table with more than 1000 columns cannot be created. I can create the table using CLOB storage (STORE AS CLOB) without any problems. Is there a limit to the complexity of typed XMLType column schema? Is there any workaround?

As A Non says, why is it unacceptable?
It's only unacceptable to you, but it's not unacceptable XML. The standard of XML does not require a display format as the purpose of XML is to define a structure of data, not to present itself nicely to you on the screen.
If you want to prettify your XML, that's up to you, but optimised XML data does not have formatting, which takes up additional and unnecessary storage space.

Querying XML data in Object Relational tables

Hi,
Can someone help me?
I have registered the purchaseorder.xsd in my database schema.
[ http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/03-jul/o43xml.html ]
declare
l_bfile bfile;
begin
l_bfile := bfilename(
'XMLSAMP', 'purchaseOrder.xsd');
dbms_lob.open(l_bfile);
dbms_xmlschema.registerschema('http://localhost:8080/purchaseOrder.xsd', l_bfile);
dbms_lob.close(l_bfile);
end;
This has created a table "PURCHASEORDER"
SYS_NC_ROWINFO$ SYS.XMLTYPE
It has also created object types.
select object_name from user_objects where object_type = 'TYPE' and object_name like 'XDBPO%'
XDBPO_ACTIONS_TYPE
XDBPO_ACTION_COLLECTION
XDBPO_ACTION_TYPE
XDBPO_LINEITEMS_TYPE
XDBPO_LINEITEM_TYPE
XDBPO_PART_TYPE
XDBPO_REJECTION_TYPE
XDBPO_SHIPINSTRUCTIONS_TYPE
XDBPO_TYPE
I have also inserted an xml into that table.
INSERT INTO "PURCHASEORDER"
VALUES
xmltype
getFileContent('ADAMS-20011127121040988PST.xml','XMLSAMP')
Now how do I retrieve the data from this table and the other object types?
Is extractvalue the only method? I have gone thru examples in the net but everything uses the element names in xml document and not the object type names.
For example to retreive the lineitem details, this query can be used
SELECT extractValue(value(d),'/Description')
FROM "PURCHASEORDER" p,
table (xmlsequence(extract(p.SYS_NC_ROWINFO$,'/PurchaseOrder/LineItems/LineItem/Description'))) d
But I want to retreive it from "XDBPO_LINEITEM_TYPE".
Is this possible?
Can someone help me please?
Thanks in advance.

#1. If you had taken the time to read some of the other posts in the forum all of the answers you needed were all there..
#2. As PM's we are not expected to spend a lot of time dealing with the forums. In general we are expected only to step in and answer the questions that are not easily answered by carefully reading existing posts or deal with cases were the wrong answer is supplied.
#3. I'm technically on vacation, and posted to that effect last week, so pushing for an answer is not at all appreciated...
#4. The problem is extremely simple, at least as stated in your simple example.

Yes, I want to create object-relational schema from DTD.

Thank you for reply~~
I want to create object-relational schema from DTD using object type or collections as mentioned.
In reply, it is impossible.
But, I read Oracle supports storing an XML document with object-relation. I executed storing sample, but I had to create schema manually.
Is it really impossible to create OR schema from DTD automatically?

Yes. You need to create your database schema before insert XML data to it.

Can you use Object Relational SQL to access XML content ?

Is there a possibility to use the generated object types and collection types to conveniently access the xml data?

Technically there is nothing to prevent you from using the object types generared when an XML Schema is registered to access and manipulate the contents of the instance documents that conform to the Schema. This would be done using the notation x.xmldata.attribute In this case x would be the object table, xmldata is the name of the instance of the SQL object type associated with the table in question.
However we do not encourage or recommend this approach. Currently XML DB provides the application developer with DML / DDL independence. This holds true as long as you use XPATH expressions to express your DML operations. Using XPATH expressions to access the content of an XML document maintains an abstraction between the DML (XPATH) and the underlying Object Relational Storage Structure derived from the information in the corresponding XML Schema. Whereever possible, when you express a query using an XPATH expression, under the covers we attempt to re-write the query into Object Relational SQL, based on the meta data contained in the Schema, as access v
If you use the object notation to access the content of the document you break this abstraction. Your application now needs to be aware of the physical (object relational) storage model being used to manage the instance documents.
One of the key features of XML DB is that it allow a developer to use Schema Annotations to alter the storage model used to manage the instance documents. The most common example of this is using annotations to control the way in which collections are managed. Depending on the annotation in the schema you can store collections as a VARRAY, as a NestedTable or as a separate XMLType table. Dependong on the technique chosed the objects that are generated during the XML Schema registration process will change.
If you use the XPATH expressions to accesss the content of your documents, and you decided to change the annotations in your schema so as to revise the way your documents are stored, XML DB will ensure your code should continue to work unchanged, regardless of which objects are generated during Schema registration. On the other hand, if you use the object notation to access the content of the documents, and then change the annotation you will have to change your code.
I hope this clarifies the situation..

Validating XML stored in CLOB without exceptions for malformed XML

Hello,
I have a CLOB column that should contain an XML which conforms to a registered XSD schema. However, there might also be cases, in which the CLOB content violates the XSD or is not even wellformed XML at all. Now I am trying to find a way to either
identify all records, for which the CLOB contains well-formed XML that validates against my schema (find all "good" records) , or
find all the other records (those with either no XML at all, malformed XML, or XML that does not validate against the XSD) (find all "exceptions")
The problem is that all XML-validation methods I know of (e.g. isXmlValid or XmlType.isSchemaValid) require an XmlType instance, and that records, for which no proper XmlType can be constructed from the CLOB, because the CLOB does not contain well-formed XML, will cause an exception, rather than just returning false or NULL or something else I could filter out.
Is there a way to do something like
SELECT * FROM MYTABLE where <MY_XML_COL is wellformed XML> and <MY_XML_COL validates against 'blabla.xsd'>
without getting an ORA-31011 or whatever other kind of exception as soon as there is a row that does not contain proper XML?
Thank you...

So here is my example - this will be quiet a long post now...
First, I create the table with the CLOBs
CREATE TABLE ZZZ_MINITEST_CLOB (
ID NUMBER(10,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
XML_DOC CLOB,
REMARKS VARCHAR2(1000),

Then I insert some examples
INSERT INTO ZZZ_MINITEST_CLOB VALUES (

<minitestId>1</minitestId>
<minitestName>One</minitestName>
</minitest_root>',
'Basic valid example');
INSERT INTO ZZZ_MINITEST_CLOB VALUES (
20,
'<minitest_root>
<l2Node>
<l2Num>1</l2Num>
<l2Name>two.one</l2Name>
</l2Node>
<minitestId>2</minitestId>

</minitest_root>',
'Invalid - minitestName element is missing');
INSERT INTO ZZZ_MINITEST_CLOB VALUES (
30,

</l2Node>

</minitest_root>',

</minitest_root>',

INSERT INTO ZZZ_MINITEST_CLOB VALUES (

INSERT INTO ZZZ_MINITEST_CLOB VALUES (

And then I create my XML tables - four different ones for four different test cases. I am trying unstructured binary XML and strucured OR-based XML, each with and without a trigger.
One with structured OR storage and no trigger
CREATE TABLE ZZZ_MINITEST_ORXML (
ID NUMBER(10,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
XML_CONTENT XMLTYPE,
CONSTRAINT PK_ZZZ_MINITEST_ORXML PRIMARY KEY (ID)
) NOLOGGING
VARRAY "XML_CONTENT"."XMLDATA"."L2_NODE" STORE AS TABLE "ZZZ_OR_L2_NODE" (NOLOGGING) RETURN AS LOCATOR
XMLTYPE XML_CONTENT STORE AS OBJECT RELATIONAL XMLSCHEMA "http://localhost/minitest.xsd" ELEMENT "minitest_root";
One with structured OR storage which will also have a trigger added further down
CREATE TABLE ZZZ_MINITEST_ORXML_TRGR (
ID NUMBER(10,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
XML_CONTENT XMLTYPE,
CONSTRAINT PK_ZZZ_MINITEST_ORXML_TRGR PRIMARY KEY (ID)
) NOLOGGING
VARRAY "XML_CONTENT"."XMLDATA"."L2_NODE" STORE AS TABLE "ZZZ_OR_L2_NODE_TRGR" (NOLOGGING) RETURN AS LOCATOR
XMLTYPE XML_CONTENT STORE AS OBJECT RELATIONAL XMLSCHEMA "http://localhost/minitest.xsd" ELEMENT "minitest_root";
One with unstructured binary XML in a SECUREFILE, no trigger
CREATE TABLE ZZZ_MINITEST_BINXML_TRGR (
ID NUMBER(10,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
XML_CONTENT XMLTYPE,
CONSTRAINT PK_ZZZ_MINITEST_BINXML_TRGR PRIMARY KEY (ID)
) NOLOGGING
XMLTYPE COLUMN XML_CONTENT STORE AS SECUREFILE BINARY XML
(NOCOMPRESS NOCACHE NOLOGGING KEEP_DUPLICATES);
One with unstructured binary XML in a SECUREFILE, which will also have a trigger
CREATE TABLE ZZZ_MINITEST_BINXML (
ID NUMBER(10,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
XML_CONTENT XMLTYPE,
CONSTRAINT PK_ZZZ_MINITEST_BINXML PRIMARY KEY (ID)
) NOLOGGING
XMLTYPE COLUMN XML_CONTENT STORE AS SECUREFILE BINARY XML
(NOCOMPRESS NOCACHE NOLOGGING KEEP_DUPLICATES);
Then I create the error logging tables
begin
DBMS_ERRLOG.CREATE_ERROR_LOG ('ZZZ_MINITEST_BINXML', 'ZZZ_MINITEST_BINXML_E', NULL, NULL, TRUE);
DBMS_ERRLOG.CREATE_ERROR_LOG ('ZZZ_MINITEST_BINXML_TRGR', 'ZZZ_MINITEST_BINXML_TRGR_E', NULL, NULL, TRUE);
DBMS_ERRLOG.CREATE_ERROR_LOG ('ZZZ_MINITEST_ORXML', 'ZZZ_MINITEST_ORXML_E', NULL, NULL, TRUE);
DBMS_ERRLOG.CREATE_ERROR_LOG ('ZZZ_MINITEST_ORXML_TRGR', 'ZZZ_MINITEST_ORXML_TRGR_E', NULL, NULL, TRUE);
END;
Now the two triggers
create or replace trigger TRG_ZZZ_MINITEST_BINXML
BEFORE UPDATE OR INSERT ON ZZZ_MINITEST_BINXML_TRGR
REFERENCING NEW AS NEW
for each row
BEGIN
:NEW.XML_CONTENT := :NEW.XML_CONTENT.createSchemaBasedXML('http://localhost/minitest.xsd');
:NEW.XML_CONTENT.SCHEMAVALIDATE();
END TRG_ZZZ_MINITEST_BINXML;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TRG_ZZZ_MINITEST_ORXML
BEFORE UPDATE OR INSERT ON ZZZ_MINITEST_ORXML_TRGR
REFERENCING NEW AS NEW
for each row
BEGIN
:NEW.XML_CONTENT := :NEW.XML_CONTENT.createSchemaBasedXML('http://localhost/minitest.xsd');
:NEW.XML_CONTENT.SCHEMAVALIDATE();
END TRG_ZZZ_MINITEST_ORXML;
I also tried to just validate the XML using queries such as the below, since validating all without the WHERE also caused exception and abortion:
SELECT ID, DECODE(XMLISVALID(XMLTYPE(XML_DOC), 'http://localhost/minitest.xsd'), 1, 'Y', 0, 'N', '?') VALID
FROM ZZZ_MINITEST_CLOB WHERE ID=90;
The results are in column "VALID" in the below tables
I tried inserting all records from ZZZ_MINITEST_CLOB into the four test tables at once using a query such as
INSERT INTO ZZZ_MINITEST_ORXML_TRGR
SELECT ID, XMLPARSE(DOCUMENT XML_DOC WELLFORMED) FROM ZZZ_MINITEST_CLOB
LOG ERRORS INTO ZZZ_MINITEST_ORXML_TRGR_E REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
I also tried different versions of creating the XML in the SELECT portion:
XMLPARSE(DOCUMENT XML_DOC WELLFORMED)
XMLPARSE(DOCUMENT XML_DOC WELLFORMED)
XMLTYPE(XML_DOC)
XMLTYPE(XMLDOC, 'http://localhost/minitest.xsd', 0, 1)
Almost all combinations of the four test tables with the four ways to instantiate the XML caused exceptions and query abortion despite the LOG ERRORS INTO clause.
In order to find the exact problems, I started inserting records one by one using queries like
INSERT INTO ZZZ_MINITEST_ORXML
SELECT ID, XMLPARSE(DOCUMENT XML_DOC) FROM ZZZ_MINITEST_CLOB WHERE ID=10
LOG ERRORS INTO ZZZ_MINITEST_ORXML_E REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
or
INSERT INTO ZZZ_MINITEST_BINXML_TRGR
SELECT ID, XMLTYPE(XMLDOC, 'http://localhost/minitest.xsd', 0, 1) FROM ZZZ_MINITEST_CLOB WHERE ID=20
LOG ERRORS INTO ZZZ_MINITEST_BINXML_TRGR_E REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
I captured the results of each in the below four tables. "1" and "0" are number of rows inserted. 0 means there was no record inserted and instead, there was an error logged in the ERROR LOGGING table.
The ORA-????? exception numbers mean that this error actually caused the INSERT to fail and abort rather than just being logged in the LOGGING TABLE.These are the most critical cases for me. Why do these exceptions "bubble up" forcing the query to be aborted rather than being logged in the error log as well???

As you can see, different ways to instantiate the XML which is being inserted will cause different results for the most critical cases (60, 80 and 90). One will go through with an error logged in the logging table and no record inserted, others cause exceptions. Also, using XMLPARSE with or without WELLFORMED causes different ORA numbers for record 90...
It seems like the only way to not get any exceptions for my test records is inserting XMLs that were created using XMLPARSE (DOCUMENT ... WELLFORMED) into the trigger-protected binary XML table. However, that causes me to miss record number 80, which is one that I really need, because it is well formed and I could use XSLTs to fix the XML by removing the extra tags, as long as I know which ones those are.

Anybody can give me the advise for that.

If you have the ftp server at 8080 running (9iR2 only) the simples way is to upload it to the database through that server. You can then do whatever you want using the xdburitype() procedure.
Below is an excerpt of a script I use to register XML schema's (I've got some very long ones, about 150K). It should work with "any" file..
begin
     dbms_xmlschema.registerSchema (
          schemaURL => 'http://www.agralin.nl/WebQuery/ns/&1',
          schemaDoc => xdburitype('/age/&1..xsd'),
          local => TRUE,
          genTables => FALSE,
          genbean => FALSE,
          genTypes => TRUE,
          force => FALSE,
          owner => 'AGE'

Run-time error '1004' -- Method 'Container' of object '_Workbook' failed

Dear All,
One of our users is getting the following Microsoft Visual Basic error while running the report S_ALR_87013614.
Run-time error '1004'
Method 'Container' of object '_Workbook' failed.
I have searched the forum posts for help. But I only found some details related to Run-time error 1004 related to some excel file security but not related to "Method 'Container' of object '_Workbook' failed".
Could anyone please tell me how this error can be eliminated for the user?
Regards,
Lakshmi.

Dear Arpan,
We too observed a few PIDs along with the one that you have mentioned but they make no difference. Some users who has the PID G_RW_DOCUMENT_TYPE set with some value are getting the report.
Upon further searching we are assuming that it could be an issue with the Microsoft applications or macro settings of the user. But not sure about it.
Regards,
Lakshmi Venigala.

Printing out results in case of object-relational table (Oracle)

I have made a table with this structure:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE Boat AS OBJECT(
Name varchar2(30),
Ident number,
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE Type_boats AS TABLE OF Boat;
CREATE TABLE HOUSE(
Name varchar2(40),
MB Type_boats)
NESTED TABLE MB store as P_Boat;
INSERT INTO House VALUES ('Name',Type_boats(Boat('Boat1', 1)));
I am using java to print out all the results by calling a procedure.
CREATE OR REPLACE package House_boats
PROCEDURE add(everything works here)
PROCEDURE results_view;
END House_boats;
CREATE OR REPLACE Package.body House_boats AS
PROCEDURE add(everything works here) AS LANGUAGE JAVA
Name House_boats.add(...)
PROCEDURE results_view AS LANGUAGE JAVA
Name House_boats.resuts_view();
END House_boats;
However, I am not able to get Results.view working in case of object-relation table. This is how I do it in the situation of relational table.
CALL House_boats.results_view();
House_boats.java file which is loaded using LOADJAVA:
import java.sql.*;
import java io.*;
public class House_boats {
public static void results_view ()
   throws SQLException
   { String sql =
   "SELECT * from House";
   try { Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:default:connection:");
   PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
   ResultSet rset = pstmt.executeQuery();
printResults(rset);
rset.close();
pstmt.close();
   catch (SQLException e) {System.err.println(e.getMessage());
static void printResults (ResultSet rset)
   throws SQLException { String buffer = "";
   try { ResultSetMetaData meta = rset.getMetaData();
   int cols = meta.getColumnCount(), rows = 0;
   for (int i = 1; i <= cols; i++)
   int size = meta.getPrecision(i);
   String label = meta.getColumnLabel(i);
   if (label.length() > size) size = label.length();
   while (label.length() < size) label += " ";
buffer = buffer + label + " "; }
buffer = buffer + "\n";
   while (rset.next()) {
rows++;
   for (int i = 1; i <= cols; i++) {
   int size = meta.getPrecision(i);
   String label = meta.getColumnLabel(i);
   String value = rset.getString(i);
   if (label.length() > size) size = label.length();
   while (value.length() < size) value += " ";
buffer = buffer + value + " "; }
buffer = buffer + "\n";   }
   if (rows == 0) buffer = "No data found!\n";
   System.out.println(buffer); }
   catch (SQLException e) {System.err.println(e.getMessage());} }

How do I print out the results correctly in my case of situation?
There are several things wrong with your code and methodology
1. The code you posted won't even compile because there are several syntax issues.
2. You are trying to use/test Java in the database BEFORE you get the code working outside the DB
3. Your code is not using collections in JDBC properly
I suggest that you use a different, proven approach to developing Java code for use in the DB
1. Use SIMPLE examples and then build on them. In this case that means don't add collections to the example until ALL other aspects of the app work properly.
2. Create and test the Java code OUTSIDE of the database. It is MUCH easier to work outside the database and there are many more tools to help you (e.g. NetBeans, debuggers, DBMS_OUTPUT windows, etc). Trying to debug Java code after you have already loaded it into the DB is too difficult. I'm not aware of anyone, even at the expert level, that develops that way.
3. When using complex functionality like collections first read the Oracle documentation (JDBC Developer Guide and Java Developer's Guide). Those docs have examples that are known to work.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/java.111/b31225/chfive.htm
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/java.112/e16548/oraarr.htm#sthref583
The main issue with your example is #3 above; you are not using collections properly:
String value = rset.getString(i);
A collection is NOT a string so why would you expect that to work for a nested table?
A collection needs to be treated like a collection. You can even treat the collection as a separate result set. Create your code outside the database and use the debugger in NetBeans (or other) on this replacement code for your 'printResults' method:
static void printResults (ResultSet rset) throws SQLException {
    try {
       ResultSetMetaData meta = rset.getMetaData();
       while (rset.next()) {
           ResultSet rs = rset.getArray(2).getResultSet();
           rs.next();
           String ndx = rs.getString(1);
           Struct struct = (Struct) rs.getObject(2);
           System.out.println(struct.getSQLTypeName());
           Object [] oa = struct.getAttributes();
           for (int j = 0; j < oa.length; j++) {
              System.out.println(oa[j]);
    } catch (SQLException e) {
       System.err.println(e.getMessage());
That code ONLY deals with column 2 which is the nested table. It gets that collection as a new resultset ('rs'). Then it gets the contents of that nested table as an array of objects and prints out the attributes of those objects so you can see them.
Step through the above code in a debugger so you can SEE what is happening. NetBeans also lets you enter expressions such as 'rs' in an evaluation window so you can dynamically try the different methods to see what they do for you.
Until you get you code working outside the database don't even bother trying to load it into the DB and create a Java stored procedure.
Since your current issue has nothing to do with this forum I suggest that you mark this thread ANSWERED and repost it in the JDBC forum if you need further help with this issue.
https://forums.oracle.com/community/developer/english/java/database_connectivity
When you repost you can include a link to this current thread if you want. Once your Java code is actually working then try the Java Stored procedure examples in the Java Developer's Guide doc linked above.
At the point you have any issues that relate to Java stored procedures then you should post them in the SQL and PL/SQL forum

Need help in Object-Relational Mapping

I'm writing a simple two-tiered business application with Swing application on the client side and a DBMS on the server side. To make my client code more maintainable, I decided to create Business Objects instead of having my client accessing the database directly via SQL. For simplicity, I'm not using any features from the J2EE framework, and the Business Objects will be hosted on the client side, with one-to-one mapping to tables in the database. Since this is my first attempt in Object-Relational Mapping, I'm faced with the following problems:
1. What kind of methods are appropriate for business objects? For example, if I have a Machine and Employee entity. A Machine is owned by an employee, and this is represented in the DB by storing the employee ID (not the name) as a foreign key in the Machine table. Let's say in the user interface I have a table that needs to display the list of Machines, but instead of displaying the owner employee's ID, I want to display the owner employee's name by doing a join select. Should the findMachines() method always perform a join select to get owner's name and store it in the Machine object which is returned, or should findMachines() simply return the owner's ID so the UI will need to make another SQL call (through the Employee object) to get the employee's name? The latter is more elegant, but would it be horribly inefficient if there are lots of machines to be displayed (and for each machine we make a separate select call to get the owner's name).

Business objects should be separate from how they're persisted.
When you say object-relational mapping, do you mean a tool like Hibernate? Or are you writing your own persistence layer using JDBC and SQL?
I'd recommend that you read about the Data Access Object pattern and keep the persistence code out of the business objects themselves:

XML attributes and object types

I want to create an XML Document of the following form
<family>
<parent attr1="val1">
<child attr2="val2" attr3="val3"/>
</parent>
</family>
Using object table and object type (for the child element), I am able to produce the following XML Document (with a "select * from family" query)
<family> 
<parent> 
<attr1>val1</attr1>
<child>
<attr2>val2</attr2>
<attr3>val3</attr3>
</child>
</parent>
</family>
The question is: how am I going to query these data so that the "attr" elements are mapped to attributes (using XSU only, without XSLT)?
I have already tried the following:
1. Using
SELECT attr1 as "@attr1",
f.child.attr2 "@attr2",
f.child.attr3 "@attr3"
FROM family f
all the attributes are obviously appended to the "parent" element.
2. Using nested table for "child" and the following query
SELECT attr1 as "@attr1",
CURSOR (
SELECT n.child.attr2 as "@attr2", n.child.attr3 as "@attr3"
FROM TABLE(f.child n)
) AS "child"
FROM family f
I am getting the following document
<family>
<parent attr1="val1">
<child>
<child_ROW attr2="val2" attr3="val3"/>
</child>
</parent>
</family>
Is there a smart SQL query to produce the desired document? What data types
is it recommended to use to define my db schema (object types, nested tables...)?
Thank you in advance

Finally, I got the desired XML format output from relational tablse using schema based XMLType views.
Wherein I created Object Types from relational table, generated the schema for the Object type, registered the schema and finally created XMLType Views for populating the XML data from Relational Tables.
I guess, you all might aware of my problem, where I got struck. Instead of printing the data in XML format I am successful in generating the XML format data Using the Query Select from BLABLA_Type_view* . I am able to print the number of rows, that I require which is in the fallowing format.
Column Name
1. SYS.XMLTYPE ----- As a row
The view I am querying for is printing the data in a string format, where in I got to do the fallowing query
SELECT SYS.XMLTYPE.getStringVal(OBJECT_VALUE) FROM BLABLA_Type_view. Which ultimately gave me the required data in XML format with tags.
Thanks for every one who tried to give a try to solve, especially "mdrake"

HTTP transport error: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Message send failed: String index out of range: -7

All -
I'm new to consuming web services in JDeveloper. I'm using Oracle JDEV 10.1.3.3/OC4J. I'm using this version since it is compatible with Oracle EBS 12.1.3. My intent is to pull data from our third party recruitment app (Success Factors) and load that data into Oracle HRIS. I'm already doing this through a .NET application. I'm converting it to be a Java Concurrent Program in EBS. The code listed below is a stub call to verify I'm on the right track. I created a JDeveloper Web Services proxy project. I'm testing it locally on my windows desktop. When I'm able to consume the service successfully, then I'll think about moving it to the EBS server.
I'm getting the following error when I invoke the following service:
HTTP transport error: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Message send failed: String index out of range: -7
End point is: https://api4.successfactors.com/sfapi/v1/soap?wsdl
Any help/assistance would be much appreciated.

The other end is throwing back a programming error.
That might be because you are sending incorrect data and the other end fails to validate it.
You might be able to guess based on your C# code. But, since you are using soap one generic solution is available to you.
- Get an http proxy interceptor like wireshark.
- Run it while your C# app runs, collect the http requests from that.
- Run it while running your java code, collect the http requests from that.
Compare the two.

Method 'DBEngine' of object '_Application' failed

I am trying to run the latest version of OMWB against an Access 2000 database and am not able to export the information to XML. The subject error message is then followed with another message, 'object variable or With block variable not set'. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Harvey

Hi,
I believe you are getting the "Method 'DBEngine' of object '_Application' failed" error because there is a problem with your DAO installation. If you manually register the dao360.dll, you should no longer experience this issue when you attempt to use the Exporter tool.
Execute :
Regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\dao360.dll"
Please refer to the following article for detailed steps:
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;887033&spid=2509&sid=global
If this does not resolve your issue, please let me know.
I hope this helps.

Hilary

XPath query works with CLOB but not with object relational

hi all
i have the following queries,the XQuery work with all, but XPath queries work with XMLType CLOB and Binary XML, but they do not work with XMLType as Object relational,
select extract (object_value,'movies/directorfilms/films/film [studios/studio = "Gaumont"]')
from xorm;
select extract (object_value,'movies/directorfilms[director/dirname = "L.Cohen"]/films/film[position()=2]/t')
from xorm;
they shows this message

I want to create a B*Tree XML Index on the above table for the following:
1. CN
2. TN
in the above schema.
Following the doc, this is what I am issuing:
SQL> CREATE INDEX audt_audit_idx1 ON TST_AUDIT_TBL(CHANGE_HISTORY) INDEXTYPE IS XDB.XMLINDEX PARAMETERS ('XMLTABLE IXTAB
2 XMLNAMESPACES(DEFAULT ''http://www.oracle.com/a.xsd''), ''/A'' COLUMNS COLUMN_NAME VARCHAR2(128) PATH ''A/T/TL/C/CN'' ');
CREATE INDEX audt_audit_idx1 ON TST_AUDIT_TBL(CHANGE_HISTORY) INDEXTYPE IS XDB.XMLINDEX PARAMETERS ('XMLTABLE IXTAB
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29958: fatal error occurred in the execution of ODCIINDEXCREATE routine
ORA-19276: XPST0005 - XPath step specifies an invalid element/attribute name:
(A)
Not sure what is going wrong (and what would be a working xmlindex will look like?)

Here goes...
1) Schema registration

</schema>'
end;
2) Table creation
CREATE TABLE TST_AUDIT_TBL
   NOTE                  VARCHAR2(25 CHAR)     null,
   CHANGE_HISTORY        XMLTYPE               not null,
   CHANGE_HISTORY_EXT    XMLTYPE               null
XMLTYPE COLUMN CHANGE_HISTORY STORE AS OBJECT RELATIONAL XMLSCHEMA "http://www.oracle.com/a.xsd" element "A"
XMLTYPE COLUMN CHANGE_HISTORY_EXT STORE AS CLOB XMLSCHEMA "http://www.oracle.com/a.xsd" element "AX"
3) Retrieving the nested table and column related to the target element :
SQL> select dbms_xmlstorage_manage.xpath2TabColMapping(
2           owner_name => 'DEV'
3         , table_name => 'TST_AUDIT_TBL'
4         , column_name => 'CHANGE_HISTORY'
5         , xpath => '/A/T/TL/C/CN'
6         , namespaces =>'default ''http://www.oracle.com/a.xsd'''
7         )
8 from dual;
DBMS_XMLSTORAGE_MANAGE.XPATH2T
<Result>
<Mapping TableName="SYS_NTr0U7dPWyRu6OVvDN2f5HEg==" ColumnName="CN"/>
</Result>
4) Creating the index :
SQL> create index CHANGE_HISTORY_IX1 on "SYS_NTr0U7dPWyRu6OVvDN2f5HEg==" ("CN");
Index created
If you're going to create multiple indexes like this, you could really benefit from renaming all the nested tables to meaningful names. That can be done via DBMS_XMLSTORAGE_MANAGE as well.
