XMLType

In Oracle 10g enterprise edition there exists a data type XMLType for storing XML documents in the database. XML schema is registered by calling "call dbms_xmlschema.registerSchema" (usually including BFile). Since BFile is not available in Oracle Lite, how is it possible to load, store and query XML data in Oracle lite? Are there any documentations?

Currently XML is not a datatye in Oracle Lite.
You would have to currently use a BLOB datatype to insert and XML file.
In Oracle Lite 10gR2(to be released this summer) there are plans to have a CLOB datatype supported for XML.
There is CLOB datatype supported now but not for replication.

Given we have multiple columns and one is XMLType how do I query to find rows in the db that match this XPath
Here is a fragment of XML that is held in MESSAGE_CONTENT_TXT XMLType column:

Hi Eric,
You can use XMLExists, like this :
select *
from message t
where xmlexists(
      'declare namespace env = "http://www.co.com/schemas/cfg-env/"; (: :)
       declare namespace hdr = "http://www.co.com/schemas/cfg-hdr/"; (: :)
       /env:Envelope/env:Header/hdr:MessageHeader/hdr:UserSession[hdr:LogonId=$id]'
       passing t.message_content_txt
             , 'R099999' as "id"
);

Unable to convert BLOB to XML using XMLTYPE

Hello (XML) Experts
I need your help with manipulating a BLOB column containing XML data - I am encountering the following error:
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00200: could not convert from encoding UTF-8 to WINDOWS-1252

I am on Windows 7 64 bit, Oracle 11.2.0.3 64 bit and database character set is WE8MSWIN1252, NLS_LANG is set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8. The BLOB column contains the following XML data:

</Root>I am using the XMLTYPE constructor and passing in the BLOB column and the character set id of the XML data stored in the BLOB column in order to extract and update a node in the XML as follows:
select xmltype(srce_form_detail,873) from SRCE_FORM where 873 above corresponds to the utf-8 encoding of the XML data in the BLOB column i.e. AL32UTF8, but this results in the above error.
I have also tried converting the BLOB to a CLOB first as below where BLOB2CLOB is a function that converts the BLOB to a CLOB:
select xmltype(BLOB2CLOB(srce_form_detail)).EXTRACT('/Root/Header/DB').getStringVal() XMLSrc from SRCE_FORM;This results in the following error:
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00210: expected '<' instead of '¿'
Error at line 1
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 272
ORA-06512: at line 1
Looking at the XML in the BLOB I noticed that it contains a BOM(byte order mark) and this is causing the XML parsing to fail and I don't know how to deal with it and I don't want to simply SUBSTR it out.
What I am trying to achieve is to extract the contents of the DB node in the XML and depending on its value I need to update the 'Value' part of that node. I am stuck at the point of extracting the contents of the DB node.
I hope I have provided enough information and I would appreciate any suggestions on how best to resolve this - my XML knowledge is very limited so I would appreciate any help.

Hi Marc
Thanks for your response.
You are correct that the blob contains Japanese and Chinese characters but I was expecting that using the XMLTYPE constructor would convert the character set albeit with some data loss or then not display the Chinese and Japanese characters correctly.
It seems to me that XMLTYPE is not handling/interpreting the BOM contained in the BLOB since even converting the BLOB to CLOB is resulting in an error. If I use SUBSTR and ignore the BOM to extract the XML from the BLOB then it works and as expected the Chinese and Japanese characters are not displayed correctly, they are displayed as '¿' corresponding to the lines beginning with L81, L86 & L87 , see below:
select xmltype(SUBSTR(BLOB2CLOB(srce_form_detail),4)) from SRCE_FORM

Furthermore I am able to write the BLOB out to a file successfully without any errors using DBMS_LOB & UTL_FILE.PUT_RAW and this seems to handle the BOM without any issues but what I really need to do is read a single node in the XML and update it directly preferably using XMLTYPE directly with the BLOB.
I would welcome your suggestions on how best to read a single node and update it when the XML is contained in a BLOB.

Move XMLTYPE data to a remote database

Hello,
I need your experience !!!!!
I am working with the 10.2.1 database.
I have try to call a remote procedure (using DBLINK) with a XMLTYPE parameter, I get a error link to a lob locator.
One solution could be to save XMLTYPE to disk.
Some body know other solution to transfer XMLTYPE data to a remote database.
Thanks in advance
Best Regards

A future alternative will be Oracle streams and b.t.w. one of the advantages (sometimes not, but anyway) of an Oracle database is that you can use object orientated methods, relational methods, java solutions, etc. and nowadays XML methods. XML was once all about transporting data, creating an uniform interface between solutions (databases, application/webservers, technology stacks, etc...). Think out of the Box. XMLDB isn't relational, but it is packaged in one. Make use of it and vice versa.

Xmltype.getnumberval() Returns "0" when attribute is an empty string.

Hi,
At my workplace we have noticed that when retrieving the value of a numeric attribute of an XML element we are getting "0" when the attribute's value is an empty string (see below for an example script).
We can't find a reference to this in the documentation but I assume this is expected behavior. Has anyone else experienced this and has anyone else used an alternative work around to the following solution that we are using (with the understanding that it is a third party that is sending us the XML so we cannot just do the sensible thing and make sure the XML doesn't contain attributes with no value)?
Solution we are using:
variable := to_number(xml.extract('node()/@numeric_attribute').getstringval());
Example Script:
SET serverout ON
DECLARE
i xmltype;
BEGIN
-- Test statements here
i := xmltype('<element a="" b="1" c="" d="abc" />');

Thanks.

We can't find a reference to this in the documentation but I assume this is expected behavior. Has anyone else experienced this and has anyone else used an alternative work around to the following solution that we are using (with the understanding that it is a third party that is sending us the XML so we cannot just do the sensible thing and make sure the XML doesn't contain attributes with no value)?
Yes, I remember seeing a thread or two about that in the past.
Your workaround is probably the best you can come up with if you want to stick to this approach.
Extractvalue() function works too but it is SQL only.
However, bear in mind that those functions are deprecated in your version.
Use XMLQuery to extract scalar values or XMLTable to extract multiple values as relational columns.

I cannot see XMLType table in sql*plus

Hi,
Although I have wokred extensively with Oracle, I am new to Oracle XMLdb. My problem is I cannot see the XMLType tables created under my schema. I can see the tables when I do a select from user_xml_tables. But if I do a 'desc' or 'select from', I get ORA-04043 or ORA-00942. I can desc an XMLType table owned by xdb. I am using Oralce 10g. Please provide a solution asap as a customer is waiting on this.
Thanks,
Jayati Ray

Raghu !!
GREAT!!!
It was a BUG in Oracle sql developer, I installed the new version v3.0, It WORKS like a CHARM.
Thanks a million for your help!!!

How do i add a root node to a XMLType

Hi all
I have a problem inserting a root node in a xml document generated by DBMS_XMLGEN.newcontextfromhierarchy. The function get_site_map_nodes generates a document like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<siteMapNode f_page_id="1" title="rot" PATH="1">
<siteMapNode f_page_id="2" title="1.1" PATH="1.1">
<siteMapNode f_page_id="4" title="1.1.1" PATH="1.1.1"/>
</siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode f_page_id="3" title="1.2" PATH="1.2"/>
<siteMap/>
</siteMapNode>
This is correct but i want to add a root node so the result shows as below:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<siteMap>
<siteMapNode f_page_id="1" title="rot" PATH="1">
<siteMapNode f_page_id="2" title="1.1" PATH="1.1">
<siteMapNode f_page_id="4" title="1.1.1" PATH="1.1.1"/>
</siteMapNode>
<siteMapNode f_page_id="3" title="1.2" PATH="1.2"/>
<siteMap/>
</siteMapNode>
</siteMap>
The problem is that i have no clue how to accomplish this.

Please try below steps.
1. Complete Prerequisite for adding cluster node
2. Verify the node is accessible to all other nodes in the cluster. Run the following command from the existing node in the cluster.
cluvfy stage -pre crsinst -n newNode
3. Run cluvfy from any existing node
cluvfy stage -pre nodeadd -n <New Node>
Note : If cluvfy in above step shows any errors fix those and then proceed with this step
4. Change Directory to Clusterware Home and execute addNode scripts from any existing node.
cd $CRS_HOME/oui/bin
./addNode.sh -silent "CLUSTER_NEW_NODES={ <NewNode > } CLUSTER_NEW_PRIVATE_NODE_NAMES={ <Interconnect >} CLUSTER_NEW_VIRTUAL_HOSTNAMES={ < Virtual Host Name >}"
At the end of addNode, script will prompt to run for root.sh on newly added node.
5. Verify Node is successfully added
cluvfy stage -post nodeadd -n <NewNode >
6. Verify CRS Stack is running on the new Node.
$CRS_HOME/bin/crs_stat -t
7. To extend the Oracle RAC Installation to include the new Node, run addNode from $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin from existing node in the cluster
cd $CRS_HOME/oui/bin
./addNode.sh
When OUI displays the Specify Cluster Nodes to Add to Installation window, select the node to be added, then click Next .
Verify the summary and run root.sh on new node when it prompts.
8. Adding New Instance on the New Node
$CRS_HOME/bin/lsnrctl status
9.Run $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca from any of the existing RAC Instances Oracle Home.
Select Oracle Real Application Clusters database , and then click Next .
Select Instance Management , and then click Next .
Select Add an Instance , then click Next .
Click Next to accept default instance name or it can be changed.
Check the summary window.
Note: Please check these steps in test environment first.

Hi,
I am Creating a table of xmltype and inserting xml into the table.
1. create table test_tab of xmltype xmlschema "/public/config.xsd" element "Config" ;
2. insert into test_tab values('<Config

How to retrieve the above inserted row into a new XML file?
If i used the dbms_xmlgen() to get the xml, its not showing properly.
Please help me.
Thanks ahead.....

From Oracle's documentation
The DBMS_XMLGEN package converts the results of a SQL query to a canonical XML formatSince your data is already XML, there is no need to use DBMS_XMLGEN (unless you are doing something more complex not mentioned in your post). Just use a simple
select * from test_tab;
to see your data.
Example:
Connected to Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.6.0
SQL> create table test_tab of xmltype; -- shortened as don't have your schema
Table created
SQL>
SQL> insert into test_tab values('<Config
2 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

5 <TcpInterfaceConfig>
6 <Mode>CONNECT</Mode>
7 <Port>28496</Port>

9 </ApsConfig>
10 </Config>');
1 row inserted
SQL> select * from test_tab;

Type-mapping not working correctly, get "Unable to find a javaType for the xmlType" WARNING

I'm manually creating a web-services.xml file, and using the autogen ant task to
generate the codec XML/Java classes. The XML definition is provided by SAP.
The ant build.xml file:
<project name="buildWebservice" default="stubgen">
<target name="stubgen">
<clientgen ear="C:\projects\RMIS\ifrrequests\RMIS.ear"
packageName="com.aa.rmis.webservice.client"
clientJar="C:\projects\RMIS\ifrrequests\rmisws-client.jar"
autotype="False" />
</target>
<target name="all" depends="stubgen"/>
</project>
The problem is seen below in the output from Ant. Note the WARNINIG. The problem
is that the xml type cannot be mapped to the Java type.
C:\projects\RMIS\ifrrequests>ant -buildfile clientbuild.xml
Buildfile: clientbuild.xml
stubgen:

The Java source that has the implementation of the service methods is simply:
package com.aa.rmis.webservice;

public class TestService
public TestService()
public int serviceRequest(PaymentRequestCreate request)
System.out.println("Received serviceRequest message");
return 0;
public void testStringRequest(String request)
The web-service.xml file is attached, which contains the schema for the SAP PaymentRequest.Create
object definition.
Another problem I have, which is probably related, is that the service method
that has a complex data type (non-built in data type) is not being deployed into
the WebLogic server. But the other service method that simply takes a String
parameter is.
The steps I took are:
1. Get XML from SAP Interface Repository (IFR) for PaymentRequest
2. Use ant task autogen to generate the request codec classes
3. Create the web-services.xml file by inserting the schema definition and the
mapping file created by the autogen task, and defining the operations
4. Build web-services.war file that contains all autogen compiled class files,
the web-services.xml file, and the service implementation class
5. Build the ear file that holds the web service files
6. Use the clientgen ant task to generate (included above) to generate the client
jar file that should contain the proxy for both of the service methods
Environment:
* WebLogic 7.02
* JDK 1.3.1_06
* JBuilder 9 Enterprise
* Ant 1.4
Possible causes:
* Namespace not being used correctly
* copied verbatim the mapping xml file generated by autogen into the web-services.xml
file
* xml-schema part of web-services.xml might not be set correctly
* operation definition might not be using the correct namespace
* Classpath used for ant might not be right
* Doubt this is the problem, but I'm out of other ideas
* Set by using the setWLEnv.cmd file provided by WebLogic
* Tried adding the generated classes directory for my project to the classpath,
but did not work
I've been referencing the Programming WebLogic Web Services document throughout
this entire process. I must be missing something.
Can anybody from BEA help me out with this problem?
Thanks in advance.
[web-services.xml]

Hi JD,
I spent a few cycles looking over your web-services.xml file, however I
don't have any suggestions other that one that looks like you have
already tried, at the top, in the <schema...>
targetNamespace="urn:sap-com:document:sap:business"
Making edits to these generated files can be tricky and my only
suggestion is to create a small reproducer to run by our outstanding
support team.
A quick look at our problem database shows one issue (CR095109) related
to a similar problem at deploy time that was fixed with 7.0SP3. Again,
the support folks will be able to help focus in on the issue.
Regards,
Bruce

Hi,
Namespace issue.
You have to declare it in the XQuery prolog :
DELETE FROM document
WHERE XMLExists( 'declare default element namespace "urn:hl7-org:v3"; (::)
                  $p/document/id[@root=$root_value]'
                 passing object_value as "p",
                         '03d6a2cd-fdda-4fe1-865d-da0db9212f34' as "root_value" )
;

Issues with using XMLType indexes against a table with XMLType column

I am attempting to use an XMLIndex with a Structured Component and not having too much luck. Not much data in metalink nor is the documentation very helpful:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e10492/xdb_indexing.htm#BCGHGIGC
The table DDL is as follows:
CREATE TABLE ECI_SCHEMA.REV_ITEM_EARN_DTL_VIRTUAL(

According to the documentation, I should be able to create a structured XMLIndex on the XMLType column with the following syntax:
SQL> create index eci_schema.rev_item_earn_dtl_virt_xmlix on eci_schema.rev_item_earn_dtl_virtual
2 (INV_DTL_IMG)
3 INDEXTYPE IS XDB.XMLIndex
4 parameters ('PATH TABLE RIED_PATH_TABLE')
5 local;
When I do this, I get the following error:
create index eci_schema.rev_item_earn_dtl_virt_xmlix on eci_schema.rev_item_earn_dtl_virtual
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29958: fatal error occurred in the execution of ODCIINDEXCREATE routine
ORA-30959: The indexed column is not stored in CLOB.
What am I doing wrong? Based on the Oracle documentation, I was under the impression that 11.2 XMLIndex would work with Object Relational storage. Is this not the case?

CREATE INDEX ECI_SCHEMA.REV_ITEM_EARN_DTL_IX7
       ON ECI_SCHEMA.REV_ITEM_EARN_DTL

/Elements that occur at most once in each document can be indexed using extractValue(). Despite the fact that the index appears to be a functional index, when we create the index we automatically re-write the create index into a normal btree index on the column that contains the value for the element identified by the xpath.
Eg in the case of a functional index based on extractValue, defined on XMLType using Object relational storage, with an xpath that identifies a node that occurs at most once in each document is not a functional index, it's re-written into a plain old vanilla btree index. You can actually check this by looking in the system tables
Eg
SQL> connect system/oracle
Connected.
SQL> select table_name, index_name from all_indexes where owner = 'OE' and table_name = 'PURCHASEORDER';
TABLE_NAME                     INDEX_NAME
PURCHASEORDER                  LINEITEM_TABLE_MEMBERS
PURCHASEORDER                  ACTION_TABLE_MEMBERS
PURCHASEORDER                  SYS_C0011037
SQL> alter session set current_schema = OE
2 /
Session altered.
SQL> create unique index PO_REF_INDEX on PURCHASEORDER (extractValue(object_value,'/PurchaseOrder/Reference'));
Index created.
SQL> set lines 250
SQL> select index_name, index_type from all_indexes where owner = 'OE' and table_name = 'PURCHASEORDER';
INDEX_NAME                     INDEX_TYPE
PO_REF_INDEX                   NORMAL
LINEITEM_TABLE_MEMBERS         NORMAL
ACTION_TABLE_MEMBERS           NORMAL
SYS_C0011037                   NORMAL
SQL> select * from dba_ind_expressions where table_name = 'PURCHASEORDER' and index_owner = 'OE'
2 /
no rows selectedFrom the above we can see that the index created on extractValue has been re-written in a plain old vanilla BTREE index, and there is no definition for it in dba_ind_expressions So assuming you were able to create the index and insert the data you should find that your index is not a functional index.

Hi Amarnath,
Thanks for looking into my issue.
When I started writing the dynamic custom approver group, I did not use FND_NUMBER and it didnt work. After that I checked it in the AME Implementation Guide which says
"Queries for number and currency attributes must select the number or currency
amount converted to a varchar2 by:
fnd_number.number_to_canonical"
So that should not be a problem.
Please correct me if I am wrong but Now I see two different possibilities :
1. The seeded variable :transactionId which is being passed to the query is not able to get the value. In other words, the transactionId is not being passed.
2. I am using wrong Attributes to identify the transaction which is being used in the Condition and that condition is used in a Rule. In this case, I am trying to identify that the Basic Person details are changed and I am using seeded attribute HR_IS_PERSON_BASIC_DETAILS_CHANGE_SS in condition.
Any feedback?
Appreciate all replies.
Thanks,
CAH

How to rename element (node) names in an XMLType column?

I have a source table with a xml data stored in an XMLType column.
The xml contains elements/nodes identified by numbers. I need to replace the numbers with the appropriate names.
The plsql below does this, but has two issues:
i. It selects the data into a clob and does a text replace on the elements in a loop. This works, but is super slow for 3500+ xml rows (about 500 node pairs per row).
ii. Once the data has had the element numbers replaced with the names, it inserts the new xml (clob wrapped in xmltype function) into the table with the XMLType attribute.
The problem with the latter action is that it is failing due to nls client vs server settings, or so it appears from what I could dig up. The actual error message:
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00242: invalid use of ampersand ('&') character (use &)
Error at line 3
There are come entities in the original xml like "" (the degree symbol).
My question is two-fold:
a). Can I replace the element names without straying from the xmltype datatype? If so, how?
b). If I cannot do "a.)", then what must I do ensure that the clob gets converted correctly to xmltype and inserted into the table?

from t_elements a, t_tags b
where (a.element_uid = b.element_uid)
begin
select br.xml_data.getClobVal() xml_data into l_xmlclob from t_elements;
FOR my_rec IN my_cur LOOP
l_xmlclob := replace(l_xmlclob,my_cur.elementname,my_cur.maptag_name);
END LOOP;
l_newxml := XMLType(l_xmlclob);
insert into test_translated_xml (xml_data) values (l_newxml);
end;
(hopefully I haven't missed anything)
Any tips or hints would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello again,
Take a look at html entity codes: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_entities.asp.
You can use this:
insert into t values (xmltype('<test>'||dbms_xmlgen.convert('this is a test &')||'deg;</test>'));
or
insert into t values (xmltype('<test>'||dbms_xmlgen.convert('this is a test &')||'#176;</test>'));
see this: ° (& deg;) or this: ° (& #176;)
SQL*Plus will not display degree character. But this is valid enitity code, and when you generate HTML out of this, it should be displayed properly in web browser.
HTML is in fact XML, that is validated by specific DTD (Document Type Definition).

ORA-00604 error when trying to insert into a XMLTYPE stored as BINARY

Hi. Here's the scenario.
Here's my Oracle version:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options
The database is encoded as AL32UTF8.
First I create the table...
create table binary_table (the_field XMLTYPE) XMLTYPE COLUMN the_field STORE AS BINARY XML;
Now I try and do an insert like this...
insert into binary_table values (xmltype('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="AL32UTF8"?>' || chr(10) || '<a>b</a>' || chr(10)));
and I get this error:
SQLState: 60000
ErrorCode: 604
Position: 122
Error: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
If I create the table with a CLOB storage option for the XMLTYPE, the insert works fine. If I repeat these steps in another database instance, same Oracle version, that's encoded as WE8ISO8859P1, it also works fine. It behaves the same in several clients. I also tried it with several different values for NLS_LANG and that didn't help.
I do want to say that this database instance has just been set up especially for me so I can do some R&D on AL32UTF8 and XMLTYPE to see if it fits our needs. So it might be a problem with the database instance.
Thanks for taking a look at this.

Hi,
Use this
Load data
append Into TABLE HS_HRMIG_EMP_PER_20MAR07 fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS.
Here optional enclosed by is for doubles quotes which should needs to place in single quotes.
like '"'.
try with this.

(urgent) How to make sumarize query against XMLType?

Hello,
i have xml document like this
<List>
<Item>
<A>10</A>
<B>554</B>
<C>25.5.2005</C>
</Item>
<Item>
<A>20</A>
<B>49</B>
<C>26.5.2005</C>
</Item>
<Item>
<A>30</A>
<B>184</B>
<C>27.5.2005</C>
</Item>
</List>
in xmltype variable (not table column) and i need e.g. sum (or count or something like that) values in xpath /List/Item/B in one document.
Is there some quick and elegant way to do this?
Thanks for quick help.

Maybe the below will help.
Did you look at building a view over the xmltype extracting the values into a relational type view, then using the view to sum up the values.
Jonthan Gennick has an article on the Oracle OTN website with the below code.
CREATE VIEW cd_master (Title, Artist, Website, Description) AS
SELECT extractValue(value(x),'/CD/Title'),
extractValue(value(x),'/CD/Artist'),
extractValue(value(x),'/CD/Website'),
extractValue(value(x),'/CD/Description')
FROM CD331_TAB x;
CREATE INDEX by_artist ON CD331_TAB x (
extractValue(value(x),'/CD/Artist'));
ANALYZE TABLE cd331_tab COMPUTE STATISTICS FOR TABLE;
ANALYZE INDEX by_artist COMPUTE STATISTICS;

The size of a XML document stored in a XMLType table

Is there a way to find out (via SQL) the size of a XML document stored in a XMLType table or XMLType column (storage OR based)?
For instance in the way you could it retrieve if the XML document was stored in an XMLType column (CLOB based)
SQL> r
1 select dbms_lob.getlength(t.gegevens.getclobval()) "SIZE"
2 from hgo.hgo010_detam t
3* where rownum < 2
SIZE
2750
