Update (transform) xmltype

Similar Questions

• Transform XMLTYPE works differently in Oracle 10.1 and 11.2

  We are migrating our applications to Oracle 10.1 g to 11.2 g. We have a number of routines of PL/SQL that transform the incoming/outgoing XML using the XMLType Transform method. XSLT transformations that we use doesn't seem to work at 11.2. For example, the code below is a simplification of what we do. This code example uses the coded entrance to irreversibly and xslt to illustrate this point. The same code has very different results when operating in 10.1 and 11.2. In 10.1, the work of transformation. He was also using files in an xml tool. 11.2, none of the input XML is transformed. The only exit is the extra < sd:StandardBusinessDocument... which is hard-coded in the xslt as a wrapper.

  For example

  {code}

  declare

  out_sbd xmltype: = xmltype ("< OT_SBD_HEADER >

  Q: any ideas? Are there changes in 11g 11.2 requiring major changes to xslt?

  We have a lot of rewriting for this if we can't get this to work!

  Hi Eduardo,

  Report it as a bug to the Support of Oracle.

  The problem lies in the function namespace - uri (): comparison with an empty string is not resolved properly, so no node is still selected in the first xsl: for each.

  If you need a workaround solution, there are some that you can test:

  (1) if the entry documents are actually in no namespace (for example, in your example), delete all occurrences namespace - uri () of the style sheet.

  (2) in the opposite direction, you can give your document of entry a dummy namespace and now referenced in the style sheet. The namespace - uri () test will work in this case.

  (3) replace the occurrences of namespace - uri () by a somewhat more elaborate test that will handle namespace empty in particular, for example:

  (namespace-uri () = $nsuri or (not ($nsuri) and not (namespace - uri ()))

  Given that you work with generated style sheets, I understand that none of the options above are really satisfactory.

  If I had to work around the problem, I would probably go with the 2nd option which involves a smaller amount of refactoring.

• update of XmlType?

  Hi all - I just have a quick question to do with the XMLTYPE columns.
  
  I have data similar to this:
  

  <ITEM name="TYPE">
    <NEW_VALUE>UT</NEW_VALUE>
  </ITEM>
  <ITEM name="XD_EOM_IND">
    <NEW_VALUE>Y</NEW_VALUE>
  </ITEM>
  <ITEM name="FID">
    <NEW_VALUE>A</NEW_VALUE>
  </ITEM>

  and I want to update the element names - i.e. I want to '= 'FID' ELEMENT name' as ELEMENT name = "DST_TYP", but I can't seem to find how to do a find in deca and replace as if the column was clear.
  
  is there something that I am missing?

  Hello

  Try the following:

  WITH t AS (
   SELECT xmltype('
  
    UT
  
  
    Y
  
  
    A
  
  ') doc
   FROM dual
  )
  SELECT updatexml(t.doc, '//ITEM[@name="FID"]/@name', 'DST_TYP')
  FROM t;
  

  The 2nd argument to the UPDATEXML is an XPath expression that selects all nodes (including attributes) to be updated.

• How update the relational table with XML data?

  I get XML messages that include a bunch of data items to be updated in a table. An arbitrary subset of rows is updated for each message received.
  
  The output of the following example is correct, but the use of the intermediate table that bothers me. The temporary table can be eliminated somehow? Or is the most reasonable way to loop just explicitly and parse the XML message and then update each row separately?
  
  I'm under 11.2.0.1.0.
  

  create table otn9test (
    id number not null primary key,
    data xmltype
  );
  
  insert into otn9test values (1, xmltype('<data>default for 1</data>'));
  insert into otn9test values (2, xmltype('<data>default for 2</data>'));
  insert into otn9test values (3, xmltype('<data>default for 3</data>'));
  
  create table otn9input (
    id number,
    data xmltype
  );
  
  column data format a30
  
  declare
    updata constant xmltype := xmltype('<root>
    <item>
      <id>1</id>
      <data>Id 1 updated.</data>
    </item>
    <item>
      <id>3</id>
      <data>Id 3 updated.</data>
    </item>
    <item>
      <id>4</id>
      <data>Id 4 updated.</data>
    </item>
  </root>');
  
  begin
    insert into otn9input
      select * from
      xmltable('/root/item' passing updata
            columns
            id number path 'id',
            data xmltype path 'data');
  
    update otn9test t set data = (
      select data from otn9input i
      where t.id = i.id
    ) where t.id in (select id from otn9input);
  
    commit;
  end;
  /
  
  select * from otn9input;
  
  /*
       ID DATA
  ---------- ------------------------------
        1 <data>Id 1 updated.</data>
        3 <data>Id 3 updated.</data>
        4 <data>Id 4 updated.</data>
  */
  
  select * from otn9test;
  
  /*
       ID DATA
  ---------- ------------------------------
        1 <data>Id 1 updated.</data>
        2 <data>default for 2</data>
        3 <data>Id 3 updated.</data>
  */
  
  drop table otn9input;
  drop table otn9test;

  The temporary table can be eliminated somehow?

  You can do it with the MERGER:

  merge into otn9test t
  using (
    select id, data
    from xmltable('/root/item' passing updata
          columns
            id   number  path 'id',
            data xmltype path 'data'
         )
  ) x
  on ( t.id = x.id )
  when matched then update
   set t.data = x.data
  ;
  

  However, if you are looking for performance on large data sets, I think that the best is to use an intermediate table of XMLType (binary storage) to maintain the XML instance.

  create table otn9input of xmltype
  xmltype store as securefile binary xml;
  
  insert into otn9input values(
  xmltype('
    
      1
      Id 1 updated.
    
    
      3
      Id 3 updated.
    
    
      4
      Id 4 updated.
    
  ')
  );
  
  merge into otn9test t
  using (
  select id, data
  from otn9input,
       xmltable('/root/item' passing object_value
            columns
              id number path 'id',
              data xmltype path 'data'
       )
  ) x
  on ( t.id = x.id )
  when matched then update
   set t.data = x.data
  ;
  

  A structured XMLIndex could also help.

• Move a node in an XML (Jdev 11.1.1)

• Adding namespace to the XML output

  Hello
  
  I have a requirement to generate an XML document for the columns in the table. I use DBMS_XMLgen.getXML inside my procedure to get the XML document.
  
  The result I get after my procedure is:
  
  <? XML version = "1.0"? >
  < EMP >
  < EMPLOYEE_NO > 000017 < / EMPLOYEE_NO >
  ASSETS of < EMPLOYEE_STATUS > < / EMPLOYEE_STATUS >
  Mini < NAME_LAST > < / NAME_LAST >
  < NAME_FIRST / >
  < / EMP >
  
  But I also need to prefix and uri of namespace in the xml output. Is it possible to add the prefix and namespace uri to the xml output.
  
  So what I need, is something like below one:
  
  <? XML version = "1.0"? >
  < xs:EMP > xmlns: out = "http://xmlns:out="http:/example.org/ver1.0/ThisISTest#">
  < xs:EMPLOYEE_NO > 000017 < / xs:EMPLOYEE_NO >
  ACTIVE < xs:EMPLOYEE_STATUS > < / xs:EMPLOYEE_STATUS >
  Mini < xs:NAME_LAST > < / xs:NAME_LAST >
  < xs:NAME_FIRST / >
  < / xs:EMP >
  
  
  Any solutions or examples of code on it would be a great help.
  
  Thanks in advance.

  ').transform(
   xmltype(

• Rename "Column" of output when using XMLCOLATTVAL

  Hello
  
  Can someone please help me to replace the word "Column" in the output to something else when you use XMLCOLATTVAL. For example, in the output for the following statement, I would like to see 'Field' instead of 'column '.
  
  I'm on 10g R2.
  
  SELECT XMLELEMENT ("Emp",
  XMLCOLATTVAL (e.employee_id, select, e.salary)) 'item Emp.
  E EMPLOYEES
  WHERE employee_id = 204;

  < column name = "Name" > Baer < / column >
  < column name = "SALARY" > 10000 < / column >
  < / Emp >
  
  
  Any help is greatly appreciated.
  
  Thank you
  Suresh

  Hello

  No 'simple' solution, but you can try one of them, according to your needs:

  (1) apply an XSL transformation to the output

  SELECT XMLElement(
   "Emp", XMLColattval(e.employee_id, e.last_name, e.salary)
  )
  .transform(
   xmltype(
  '
  
  
    
  
  
    
      
    
  
  
    
      
    
  
  '
   )
  )
  FROM hr.employees e
  WHERE employee_id = 204;
  

  (2) "XQuerying" (as an alternative to XSLT)

  SELECT XMLElement("Emp",
    XMLQuery(
     'for $i in /*
      return element Field {
        attribute name {$i/name()},
        $i/text()
      }'
     passing XMLForest(e.employee_id, e.last_name, e.salary)
     returning content
    )
  )
  FROM hr.employees e
  WHERE employee_id = 204;
  

  (3) or, of course, generating the correct structure in the first place

  SELECT XMLElement(
   "Emp",
   XMLElement("Field", xmlattributes('EMPLOYEE_ID' as "name"), e.employee_id),
   XMLElement("Field", xmlattributes('LAST_NAME' as "name"), e.last_name),
   XMLElement("Field", xmlattributes('SALARY' as "name"), e.salary)
  )
  FROM hr.employees e
  WHERE employee_id = 204;

  This procedure is used by a java os threaded application to load thousands of files to db.
  
  It works very well 99% of the time, but for some files, the procedure is suspended to (5.a: write domnode clob using xmldom.writetoclob)
  
  I am absolutely sure that the problem is due to the characters of the domnode as all files that have hanging on the treatment contain these weird characters
  the db character set is Unicode AL32UTF8, he should be able to handle almost anything, saying that if it is a prob with the characters so why do
  the loadclobfromfile procedure succeed.
  
  Developed on the database on Oracle 11 g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64 bit
  
  I have no prob rejecting the node and continue the treatment but is blocked just procedure and I have to kill the thread on the operating system.
  
  Is there a way of
  
  1. test for invalid AL32UTF8 tanks and jump error.
  or
  2 circumvent the process of xmldom.writetoclob and create an xmltype of the xmldom.domnode (I tried to convert domnode-> domdocument-> xmltype, no joy)
  or
  Open to suggestions

  Why not go to a CLOB in an XMLTYPE via
  l_xml: = XMLType (dest_clob);
  and then analyze the XMLType in PL/SQL, as shown in my example of method 2 in {message identifier: = 3610259}. If you leave off of the. text() and the. getStringVal() then the .extract returns an XMLType in order to use your call .transform.

  Easier for me then attempt to analyze a DOMDocument for data. I did both and prefer the XMLType road.

• List implied when you use the instance of an object TABLE.

  I've been looking for a solution to this problem, but nothing helped.
  I have an XML schema that specifies in the root element:
  < xsd: element name = "onestring" type = "xs: String" minOccurs = "1" maxOccurs = "1" / >
  < xsd: element name = "manystrings" type = "xs: String" minOccurs = "1" maxOccurs = "unbounded" / >
  
  So I created a few types in my database:
  CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE VARCHAR_TABLE AS VARCHAR TABLE (5);
  /
  
  CREATE or REPLACE TYPE rootelement AS OBJECT)
  onestring varchar (5),
  manystrings VARCHAR_TABLE
  )
  /
  
  Now, I do the following:
  DECLARE
  XML XMLTYPE.
  obj rootelement;
  BEGIN
  obj: = rootelement ("valA", VARCHAR_TABLE ('val1', 'val2', 'val3'));
  XML: = XMLTYPE (obj);
  print_out (xml.getstringval);
  END;
  /
  
  And on this basis, the result I get is:
  < ROOTELEMENT >
  valA < ONESTRING > < / ONESTRING >
  < MANYSTRINGS >
  val1 < VARCHAR2 > < / VARCHAR2 >
  val2 < VARCHAR2 > < / VARCHAR2 >
  val3 < VARCHAR2 > < / VARCHAR2 >
  < / MANYSTRINGS >
  < / ROOTELEMENT >
  
  When I want to see is:
  < ROOTELEMENT >
  valA < ONESTRING > < / ONESTRING >
  val1 < MANYSTRINGS > < / MANYSTRINGS >
  val2 < MANYSTRINGS > < / MANYSTRINGS >
  val3 < MANYSTRINGS > < / MANYSTRINGS >
  < / ROOTELEMENT >
  
  This can be accomplished? I also need the output XML to be read back in. (currently I call XMLTYPE (xml) .toObject (obj);).
  
  Thanks in advance.
  
  Dave

  Well, since the XSL Transformations worked at 10.1 too, what follows will do what you want

  SELECT XMLTYPE(ROOTELEMENT('valA', VARCHAR_TABLE('val1', 'val2', 'val3'))).TRANSFORM(XMLTYPE('
  
      
  
      
          
              
                  
              
              
                  
              
          
      
  
      
          
              
         
          
      
  
      
          
              
          
      
  
  
  ')) AS TRANSFORMED
    FROM DUAL
  

  Sorry for a previous solution that would not apply to your version, but I struggle to remember the characteristics of each of them separate. I remembered vaguely (I work with 11g for a bit now) that APPENDCHILDXML was the 10g feature, but does not remember that it was in fact 10.2.

• SOS! a difficult problem to extract XML.

  I have a table like this xmltype:
  SQL > select object_value in the tbl_testxml;
  < member >
  < name of grandfather = 'Tom' age '66' = >
  < father name = 'John' age '46' = >
  < name son = "Simon" age = "20" / >
  < name son = "Steve" age = "19" / >
  < / father >
  < name father = "Jeff" age = "45" >
  < name son = "Mark" age = "17" / >
  < name son = "Matthew" age = "15" / >
  < / father >
  < / grandfather >
  < / members >
  
  I want to do is extract the grandfather, father and son's name (on the same line if they are in the same family), so I use this sql query:
  
  Select extract (value (v_xml), '//grandfather/ @name'): the grandfather,.
  Extract (value (v_xml), '//Grandfather/Father/ @name') as the father.
  Extract (value (v_xml), '//Grandfather/Father/son/ @name') son
  of tbl_testxml t.
  TABLE (XMLSEQUENCE (EXTRACT (t.object_value, ' / members))) v_xml;
  
  The output is finally like this:

  grandfather                              father                                  son
  
  ========                                 ==============                          ================
  
  Tom                                       JohnJeff                               SimonSteveMarkMathiew

  But this isn't what I want, what I want is like this:

  grandfather          father         son
  
  ========             ======         ======
  
  Tom                   John           Simon
  
  Tom                   John           Steve
  
  Tom                   Jeff            Mark
  
  Tom                   Jeff            Mathiew

  is it possible to get the above result?
  
  I tried xmlquery xmltable etc., none of them works :(
  
  Thank you very much!

  Certainly not ideal, but you can transform the original XML using XSL so that it better fits your requirement:

  SELECT extractvalue(v_xml.column_value,'//grandfather') as grandfather,
         extractvalue(v_xml.column_value,'//father') as father,
         extractvalue(v_xml.column_value,'//son') as son
  FROM tbl_testxml t,
  TABLE(
   XMLSEQUENCE(
    EXTRACT(t.object_value.transform(
            xmltype('
            
            
            
             
              
               
               
               
              
             
            
            
            ')
            ), '//branch'
    )
   )
  ) v_xml;
  

  Basically, the XSL language takes each sheet (IE each son), retrieves his ancestors and presents them in separate items of BRANCH.
  The SQL query then just extract all nodes branch with XMLSEQUENCE (XMLTABLE works as well) and again from each Member in a separate column.

• Since the update to 14.0.1 javascript error appeared (this.transforms is not defined - 3-4 errors per second)

  Our phone system of companies has a web interface since the 14.0.1 update is no longer works. I tried to open it in safe mode with no extension active and ensure that cache has been cleared. In the error logs, I see "this.transforms is undefined" and is repeated 3 - 4 times per second, no matter how long the page is opened. Many pages in the web interface are compressed and if I select a different tab background change but not the areas that fall within her and all submit buttons are ignored.

  It works in other browsers and in older versions of firefox, so our miracle temp to say personal use Chrome until we have a chance to roll back on Firefox, even if we are not sure if Firefox is simply updating again.

  Finally solved the problem. Discovered that the issue was only happening on HP systems so that it narrowed down. Yet a new windows install using their disks restore would fail on the new update (but only if HP utilities were all re-installed - for example, as fingerprint reader security utilities). I got some new updates for those and the problems went away. Yippee. My guess is that it was the security utilities that run in the background, because they are not browser so plugins work even in SafeMode to browser.

  Glad we got going I didn't leave Firefox. What a pain though, as he had really left me speechless.

• How can I remove J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 update 11. Application of transformation error when you use Add/Remove programs

  Cannot remove J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 update 11 or Java or Java 2 Runtime Environment SEv1.4.2_6.

  Add/Remove Programs DOES NOT WORK.  Message received when you try to remove programs is, "error application of transformations".

  Java (TM) 6 Update 21 is installed on my computer.

  Please let know us the step by step procedure to remove the old Java programs.  Thank you.

• What is the list of updates that are needed to transform to SP3?

  What is the list of these KB upgrades that are needed to transform to Service Pack 3. I want to install them manually.
  I currently have:
  KB942288
  KB940157

  And want the whole list. If you don't know then you can go to: Control Panel > Add / Remove Programs if you are on the Service Pack 3 update...

  To 'turn' to SP 3, you must actually install SP3. There is no list that "transforms".

• No tab transformation of lightroom after update.

  I've just updated to the latest version of lightroom cc and I still don't have a transformation on the side Panel tab. I am a photographer of architecture, so I was happy using the guided vertical feature. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

  El capitan, like all the latest versions of Mac OS X number is 64-bit only, so it must be. You just need to install Lightroom CC creative cloud app. Then, you will also need to make sure to start the right program. Installation of LR CC removes the old enough now LR 5.7.1 and the icon in your dock will still refer to the old version in your Applications folder. You can open LR CC of the PPA for CC and then control click (or right-click) on the new icon for Lightroom that bounces in your dock and select "keep in dock" If you have a shortcut in your dock that is easy to find. You can get rid of the icon in your dock for LR 5 after that.

  Also note that I used XMLTABLE instead of TABLE/XMLSEQUENCE, which is much easier to use (and not deprecated in the latest versions).

  You have not precisely the date format in the TIMESTAMP element so I assumed a conform to W3C.

  If you have a problem with this part, return to a projection of VARCHAR2 and use TO_DATE with actual size.
