XSLT document in database???

Most documentation suggests that the XSLT document must be stored in a folder on your hard drive....Is it possible to store the document in a mySQL database....what are the implications of this???
Thank you in advance....

An XSLT document is just a String, when you come right down to it, so you could store it in a database column. Of course, you'd have to extract it first before you could use it. Also, most of the XSLT transformation products (Saxon, Xalan) do expect to find the XSLT document in a disk file. But if you are writing JAXP-oriented code, you could get your XSLT document from wherever you liked, including from a String you just read from a database.

TA25361 I have a ton of documents and databases in AppleWorks v 6.0 that I can no longer open on my MacBook Pro. Is there any way to recover this info? Some documents can be opened and resaved with textedit, but not my database with all important addres

I have a ton of documents and databases in AppleWorks v 6.0 that I can no longer open on my MacBook Pro. Is there any way to recover this info? Some documents can be opened and resaved with textedit, but not my database with all important addresses.

I tried Peggy's List > Select All > Copy > Paste into an AW spreadsheet suggestion.
In my case, pasting into the spreadsheet lost all text formatting (mostly text set to bold). The results of formulas were pasted, and checkboxes were pasted as "on" or "off". The DB did not contain any pop-up menus or radio buttons, but I expect they would transfer as a number showing the list position of the chosen item.
Pasting the copied List view data into a Numbers table gave a result similar to that with AppleWorks. I selected B2 as the target cell (for top left cell of the pasted data) to avoid any effects of posting into a header row or column. Bold and regular text formatting looked the same as it had in AW's List view.
Based on that, I'd slip the 'paste into an AppleWorks Spreadsheet step, and paste directly into a Numbers Table.

Saving a document in Database

Hi all,
I am opening file from Mysql server using JSP and Tomcat. It opens in the associated program not in the browser. when it opens say, a word file is opened from database in MS Word. When try to change anything on that file, if i press save then it saves but i realised that it is saving in my computers
C:/Documents/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/Content.IE5/UA40NN" folder
Not saving in the MySQL database from where it was opened.
This means that if anyone wants to change any document then they need to download that document, change it and then upload the updated version to the database.
But this is a time cosuming process for the organisation.
So can anyone please help me how can i save document in database by opening it and then making necessary changes in it.
Thanks

This means that if anyone wants to change any document then they need to >download that document, change it and then upload the updated version to the >database.Correct!!
So can anyone please help me how can i save document in database by >opening it and then making necessary changes in it.You cannot, you will have to change the local copy, then upload it as you originally thought.
An alternative would be to save the files on a networked drive which users can access directly. You could then store the file name and path in the database. Then when users opened the file, it would be the central copy.
You could add code to delete documents etc. through your web interface.

Store and display word document in database through forms

"Create a datablock and specify the item datatype as blob"
BUT: How to bring the document to the blob?
Hi user 611..
Warning: It is easy if you use an OLE-Object - but OLE is a special format. The result will not be the same as with dbms_LOB.
We have a application with documents stored via OLE - terrible!
OLE is no longer supported by forms 10. But webutil would help.

Looking for example - abap xslt - that uses xslt document() function

Hello,
I'm looking for an example that shows the use of abap xslt with the xslt document() function. Using the xslt document() function seems like a straightforward way to use xslt to create a result xml document by processing the content of two or more
source documents. For example, if source document A.xml and aux.xml are available in memory as xstringand using stylesheet ztransformwhat would be the argument for the document() function to associate aux.xml. Thanks for any insight.

Hi,
Sorry, perhaps I should have been clearer! The function that I picked just to test what you need to do just happened to return a string that contains SPAN tags with style attributes. The actual function code is:
create or replace FUNCTION out_string_fn
   RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
   CURSOR emp_cur
   IS
      SELECT ename
        FROM emp;
   v_string   VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
   v_string := ' ';
   FOR c IN emp_cur
   LOOP
      v_string :=
            v_string
         || '<SPAN style="font-weight:bold;color:green">'
         || c.ename
         || '</SPAN>'
         || ', </br></br>';
   END LOOP;
   RETURN v_string;
END;And this returned a naff list in green (see [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=55041:57] and click the Test button) - but it does show that you can style the validation error messages

XSLT document() function in PL/SQL XDK

I'm using the PL/SQL XDK (9.2.0.2.0) to do XSLT transformations but having
no success using the XSLT document() function.
I just get the error
ORA-20100: Error occurred while processing: XSL-1021: (Error) Error parsing
external document: 'wrongmachine.mycompany.com'.
Can the document function access an external xml file using http from pl/sql?
eg. http://amachine.mycompany.com/xmldocs/myxml.xml
I've tried setting the ref parameter of the newStylesheet function, assuming
this sets up the base uri for the stylesheet
xslss := xslProcessor.newStylesheet
(xmldoc => xsl_doc,
ref => 'http://amachine.mycompany.com/xmldocs');
I've also used the setBaseDir on both the DOMDocument and the stylesheet
xmlparser.setBaseDir(p => xsl_parser,
dir => 'http://amachine.mycompany.com/xmldocs');
I've tested the XSL stylesheet in Saxon and it works fine.
Other XSL transformations also work fine using the Oracle XDK but none that use
document()
'wrongmachine.mycompany.com' is not even the machine the code is executing on!?
Is this set up in an installation script?
Any ideas/examples on how document() can be used in the pl/sql XDK?
Thanks
John Holder

BTW: following this link
xsl:include within XSL stylesheet stored in XMLType column
i've encountered that this theme has been asked but none from Oracle staff has answered on it yet ;(((((((

XSLT document function - bug?

I have an XSLT stylesheet which loads several XML documents, by using the XSLT document() function.
The XSLT document() function works fine using Saxon processor and Firefox. Also it works fine in Safari 3 when the XSLT stylesheet is processed as a stylesheet referenced from an XML-file.
But, when processing the XSLT stylesheet from Javascript, in Safari 3, using xsltProcessor.transformToDocument() the document() function does not load the files. It can be added, that I am running everything from the local harddrive.
Anyone has similar experience or some workaround?
There is a similar post http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1559485&tstart=1 about Safari-Windows, but no resolution to the problem.

I have now made an example to demonstrate this bug. Firefox 3 will do the right thing, Safari 3 and 4 both have the same problem.

How to document my database objects

I need to document my database objects with respect to:
What objects I have , relationship with in tables , keys in tables Etc…
This document should be good enough to explain the business flow (data flow) in DB
What I am looking is :: A good template or approach any idea or suggestion.
--ER diagrams is 1 thing in my mind any other thing anyone what to suggest
--Coding standard is something different

Why not use the Oracle Data Dictionary as repository for the core info about your tables and columns and relationships? See the COMMENT command in Oracle® Database SQL Reference.

Size of archive documents in database

Hi all!
As per tables SOFFPHF and TOA*, I was able to know the storge by document type.
Now, I need to know if there is any way to extracte the size of the documents stored in database by type of SAP object (invoice, order, delivery, etc...) That is, the size of the archived documents in database by type of SAP Object.
Thank you!
Kind regards,

SAP Basis Systems

Thanks for that.
We are looking to enqueue XML documents for some time (weeks or months). I have used other message queuing systems where the memory footprint was roughly equal to the total size of all messages in queues on that machine. Such a scheme would not make it viable to keep messages in queues for any length of time.
Can you tell me whether Advanced Queues has any of these issues?
To give you some explanation as to why we are doing this, we plan to push XML documents into a queue to be later dequeued by a data warehouse application. When the system goes live, the data warehouse will not yet be built, but will be delivered for the next phase. XML encoded documents will be waiting for some time in a queue, prior to processing by the warehouse. I know I could dequeue the messages from AQ and put them in tables, but I want to avoid this cost, if AQ can have a large number of messages in a queue and that this will not have a memory footprint or performance impact on the system.

Database access with xslt document

Hello,
I have a big problem. I have a database with three tables and more than hundred records. From the records of these three tables a xml document should be generated. I already have a xslt file which gets the data from the database and brings in a xml form. Is there in BPEL a possibility with the help of a xslt file to access a table? And if so like this is done? Can one give the xslt file in the data bank adaptor? The xslt file has the following appearance:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="RESULTSETS/SELECT[@NAME='idoc_element']">
<xsl:with-param name="parent_id" select="'0'"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="RESULTSETS/SELECT[@NAME='idoc_element']">
<xsl:param name="parent_id"/>
<xsl:for-each select="ROW[(parent_id=$parent_id)]">
<xsl:variable name="element_name" select="name"/>
<xsl:variable name="element_id" select="id"/>
<xsl:variable name="position" select="position"/>
<xsl:variable name="child" select="/RESULTSETS/SELECT[@NAME='idoc_element']/ROW[(parent_id=$element_id)]"/>
<xsl:element name="{$element_name}">
<xsl:for-each select="/RESULTSETS/SELECT[@NAME='idoc_attribute']/ROW[(element_id=$element_id)]">
<xsl:variable name="attr_name" select="name"/>
<xsl:attribute name="{$attr_name}"><xsl:value-of select="value"/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$child">
<xsl:apply-templates select="/RESULTSETS/SELECT[@NAME='idoc_element']">
<xsl:with-param name="parent_id" select="$element_id"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="value"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This xslt forms a loop about the suitable data and joins them to a xml file.
It would be really great if somebody could help me there.
Thanks
Greeting Cathleen

Hello,
I know that I can define the relations between the tables in the DB Adapter.
But how do I say to him which data he from the tables should get and how should these be joined?
Since my tables are built up as follows:
Table 1 contains the head of the xml document.
Table 2 contains the attributes.
And table 3 contains the real elements of the xml document.
This is, for example, table 3:
Element | Name | Value
/root/E1 | E1
/root/E1/E2 | E2
/root/E1/E2/E21 | E21 | 7777
/root/E1/E2/E22 | E22 | Germany
/root/E1/E3 | E3 | UTIL
And this structure should have afterwards the following construction:
<root>
<E1>
<E2>
<E21>7777</E21>
<E22>Germany</E22>
</E2>
<E3> UTIL </E3>
</E1>
</root>
Besides, subdivide themselves Element2 and Element3 and there is of it more than 100. It is very big xml document at the end.
So a xml file should originate only from the records of the table and I know not at all like I should do this with the DB Adapter. OR as I give in the DB Adapter or where I give it.
It would be really very nice and helpful ones if somebody can help me there. This is since very important for my work.
Thanks

Inserting a MS Word document into database

Hello friends at www.oracle.com,
we need to insert contents from our Microsoft Word documents into an Oracle database. That is, we need to create a Forms program where we can open and select a MS Word file, and insert its contents into a table; for example, MS_DOCUMENTS.
Thanks, and best regards,
Franklin GonÃ§alves Jr.

Hello Duncan,
If this is on the web then WebUtil provides
everything you need. If it's on Client Server you
can use the OLE Container item type. no, it's not on the Web.
I want to insert Word documents that are in my directories into database, and I've read that it can be done via BLOB table columns.
I'd like to insert these documents and retrieve them later. Could you please tell me something about it?
Sincere thanks for your help.

Storing MS-Word and PDF documents in database uploaded through APEX

I want to allow users to upload MS-Word and PDF documents they have created / edited outside of the APEX app for storage in the database along with the other app data.
I know that I should use a file browse item in a region for this purpose.
I have a some questions:
1. What database datatype is best for storing MS-Word and PDF docs? CLOB?
2. How can the user see that the file has been uploaded? In other words, how can they see that the filename has been uploaded? I want to show this on the page for later viewing. I have uploaded a document, but later, I have no way to see that the document has in fact been uploaded. From the APEX page, the file browse item does not indicate whether or not a file has previously been uploaded.
3. How can the user download the previously uploaded document?
4. Is there a way to give users the capability to edit a document in an APEX app where they can do MS-Word-like editing (font size, font type, bold, italics, etc.)?
I know I've asked a lot here and I appreciate your input.

Migrate the document from database to Content Server

Dear All;
There is a ECC6 using for 5 years and I am setting up a External Content Server which link to this ECC6 server, from now on the new incoming documents like scanned document, email etc will save to Content Server.
However, for the past 5 years those old incoming documents that save in the ECC database, how can l migrate it to Content Server? In the past the document mostly save with GOS (generic object service) option.
Please advise.
Thanks
Jordan

Hi Jordan,
from DMS point of view I would recommend you to see the reports DMS_KPRO_CONVERT and DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2 which can be used to transfer original files from older storage to KPRO storage logic.
If you want to move the originals from an archive or vault to a Content
Server, please use the DMS_KPRO_CONVERT and DMS_KPRO_CONVERT2 report I
would kindly ask you to see teh documentation on DMS_KPRO_CONVERT report
in transaction SE38, which explains the whole process and gives
necessary information.
This conversion program offers two possibilites:
- Complete migration:
The meta data of the document info record and the checked-in original
application files are migrated together. The checked-in original
application files are transported into the storage catgories.
- Step-by-step migration:
In the first step meta data is migrated. The original application files
remain in the old storage data. The migration of original application
files starts after you have processed the files with the integrated
viewer and checked them into a secure storage area.
I hope this information could be useful for you. Further I would
really recommend you to get in touch with your local consulting
organisation because this is a very critical and individual process.
To grant that the whole migration is done correctly I can only advise
you to contact your local consulting organisation.
Best regards,
Christoph

XSLT document() function not working properly

I have this XSLT:
<xsl:copy-of select="document($file1)/employee/address/*"/>
I have this java which is setting the parameter for $file1
transformer.setParameter("file1",file.getAbsolutePath());I printed out the value of $file1 in the XSLT style sheet using:
<xsl:message><xsl:value-of select="$file1"/></xsl:message>
The Path it prints out is the correct path, let say its c:\myfile\file1.xml
When it reaches the doument($file1) function, it seems that the path is getting changed.
To give you an example, if $file1 = "c:\myfile\file1.xml" and my XSLT file is located at c:\xsl\myXSl.xsl then the path that document() gets is:
c:\C:\xsl\myfile\file1.xml
This causes the following error to occur:
(The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)
Why is document() inserting the path where the XSL file which it is in into the path of the file I'm trying to open? I am using the Xalan API to transform this XML.
Have anyone seen anything like this before?
Thanks
Al

When I looked up some Internet pages that described the document() function, they all said it required a URI as its parameter. A Windows file path is not a URI. However it's possible to get a URI from a File object, so you might want to try that.
