• Difference between DBMS_XMLGEN and DBMS_XMLSQUERY

  Hello
  
  Can someone let me know the fundamental difference between DBMS_XMLGEN and DBMS_XMLQUERY?
  
  
  
  Thanx
  
  Published by: Apache on October 13, 2008 23:56

  Directly from the documentation:

  H2. DBMS_XMLGEN 125
  DBMS_XMLGEN package converts the results of a SQL query to the canonical XML format. All takes an arbitrary SQL query as input, converts it to XML format, and returns the result as a CLOB. This package is similar to the DBMS_XMLQUERY package, except that it is written in C and compiled in the kernel. This package can be run only on the database.

  H2. DBMS_XMLQUERY 127
  DBMS_XMLQUERY provides database XMLType functionality. If possible, use DBMS_XMLGEN package integrated into the C instead of DBMS_XMLQUERY.

• New installation of Xubuntu w / Firefox on my PC. Everything works VERY slowly, even typing and cursor movement. Is - fixable?

  With this new installation of Xubuntu (which is supposed to be quick enough) with Firefox included, all transactions processed through the browser are incredibly slow: typing, go to other pages or Web sites; move the cursor is painfully slow, and sticky with time delayed reaction and excessive results. I have the maximum encryption and security; This could be the problem? Note: I noticed that type in this window is normal...? E-mail is correct, also.

  Thank you very much

  Glad your problem is solved itself, and I see that you have also your problem another (1012424/questions/1012424). Don't forget to update Firefox, it should be 31 Firefox now or if Xubuntu is a bit behind perhaps still Fx30 but certainly not Fx28.

  Be aware that you will see big changes in Firefox

  why would they include an unsupported version of Firefox in the same package with the newest version of an operating system?
  

  Ubuntu and Xubuntu major versions come out every six months. Firefox updates every six weeks. Probably the first thing to do after you have installed a new version of X / Ubuntu is updated the software, also immediately before the upgrade to the next Xubuntu.

  Versions of Firefox & Ubuntu/Xubuntu

  I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS for most. 14.04 is also LTS, so you have to stay on that instead of update in due course to 14.10

  Synaptic (graphical APT front-end server) package manager is therefore longer in default distributions of Ubuntu/Xubuntu, you could add Synaptic (included in gDebi in Xubuntu 12.04) otherwise use the "Software Center" to ensure that everything is kept up-to-date

  Hi Butterfly3,

  Welcome to Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

  (A.) it can happen that if drivers are not updated, you may update the drivers for keyboard and mouse on your machine, see steps to update the drivers:

  (i.) click Start > type in Device Manager in the start search > expand the keyboard and the mouse in Device Manager > right click on drivers > click Properties > click on the driver tab > click on update drivers > click OK.

  Now, restart the computer and check if the keyboard and mouse works fine without any problems.

  (B) if the problem persists, you may need to perform the analysis antivirus on the computer.

  You can also perform a complete analysis of the Service from the link: http://safety.live.com

• Touch pad and cursor problem

  I am using Windows 7 on a Dell Inspiron that has rececntly had the hard drive replaced and my cursor jumps back into already typed text. Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?

  After replacing the HD have been the drivers then updated Dell support?

• the mouse pointer and cursor of dysfunction, cannot type, cannot connect to my user account?

  OK, I'm not sure how succinctly describe the problem since it is composed of so many things that have actually made my computer useless. I think it's a virus, but my virus scan did not come with something useful, so.

  Last night I watch Youtube videos and edit some pictures when I noticed that I had to type on the touch pad repeatedly until the computer responded. Then it stopped working completely (IE I could still move the mouse pointer, but couldn't click using the touch pad). I switched from windows to look for a solution on the internet, but when I clicked on the address bar of Google Chrome the cursor started ahead of his own, as someone has pressed the space bar - but I was not. This makes type impossible because there were huge gaps between each letter. I turned the computer off and back on (thanks, ICT courses), but the problem has not disappeared - only now, the mouse pointer disappeared sometimes still. It was getting late so I turned it off again and fell asleep.

  This morning as I began it upward there was noises Eman that makes it usually when I plug / unplug power. I tried to type in my password... and couldn't. The capslock wasn't on, I of course did not forget the password from one day to the next, but I kept receiving error messages and could not open a session. Even worse, when I tried to switch to an account that was not protected by Word, he kept jumping to the mine after maybe 3 seconds. I finally managed to click the icon of the second account and logged.

  The touchpad still don't click, when I open Chrome and clicked on the address bar he reacted as I clicked with the button right referring (so I couldn't type) and the mouse pointer always disappears randomly. I did a Norton quick scan and it came with 22 'risks' that he apparently 'fixed', but the problem has not yet disappeared. I would be v. grateful for a quick response, as the laptop is actually not mine, but my father (who keeps valuable most of his photographs on the hard drive).

  EDIT: I opened it in Mode without failure. the touchpad works now, but randomly on the keyboard keys have stopped working. Others come with a random combinations when I press on them, for example. "you" instead of "t", "p"] - when I press on «-» I can't even reinstall the keyboard drivers, because I can't type in my admin password.

  Also I do not know what topic to put this in so if it's wrong, please let me know!

  Thanks in advance.

  Maybe you need to take a step back and explain exactly what you're trying to reach, providing tables of the example and example, the production of these data in the example data.

  No offence not intended, but your statement dynamic MERGE is not well written, completely does not use bind variables (and why you think concatenating SYSDATE in a stirng as it will work properly, I don't know), and will be a nightmare to maintain in the future.  I'll ignore for now the use of waste from other exception ONCE (even if it's really cr * p coding) you clearly bigger problems to solve first.

  Thus, in addition to providing some data and tables of the example can answer you, why you do not know the names of the columns you try to merge?

  The mention of the ATTR in your instructions seem to feel a bit as if you use a type of entity-attribute-value architecture to your database, is this true? I hope sincerely that no, since it is known to be a performance killer and a nightmare to code and maintain when it comes to relational database engines. (I have a personal experience of having been victims of such a database design, and fortunately, we managed to convince management that the product was not fit for purpose and it was abandoned within months purchased (if only we could see before purchase)!)

  Hi Steve,.

  The following query should work:

  WITH t1 AS (
    SELECT *
    FROM XMLTable(
     'for $i in ora:view("DUMMY")/ROW[PIDM=xs:integer($pidm)]
        , $j in $i/child::*
      return element r
      {
        $i/DEPT
      , element COLUMN_NAME {name($j)}
      , element DVALUE      {$j}
      }'
     passing sys_xmlgen(649) as "pidm"
     columns dept        varchar2(6)  path 'DEPT'
           , column_name varchar2(30) path 'COLUMN_NAME'
           , dvalue      varchar2(30) path 'DVALUE'
    )
  ),
  t2 AS (
    SELECT column_name, column_id
    FROM user_tab_columns
    WHERE table_name = 'DUMMY'
  )
  SELECT t1.dept, column_name, t1.dvalue
  FROM t1
       PARTITION BY (dept)
       RIGHT OUTER JOIN t2 USING (column_name)
  ORDER BY t1.dept, t2.column_id
  ;
  

  The subquery "t1" is pretty much the same as the one you used with XMLSequence.

  XMLTable has been introduced in version 10.2 and now replaces XMLSequence:
  http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B19306_01/AppDev.102/b14259/xdb_xquery.htm#sthref1705

  Another useful feature here is the "partitioned outer join", that allow outer join independently each group of the Department to the list in the column.

  In the FOR loop "obj" is a pointer to the cursor/query, not a subject in its own right. It gives you just a reference in the query.

  So with that you are referring to the query, but then you need to refer to the column in the query that you are interested, so why there need a name (in my case I called it 'x'). 'x' is the object, and then you refer to the attribute of this object "text".

  In the first request that you simply select the value directly object in a variable, so no matter what it's called in the query values are returned by the position that is the first column in the query goes into the first variable in the INTO clause. Once you have that then the variable itself contains the object, and you can just refer to the attribute within that.

  Hope that makes sense.

• Crash suddenly and cursor flashing at startup...
