Hi Steve,

I am trying to run the following script…

DECLARE
qryCtx dbms_xmlgen.ctxHandle;
result CLOB;
BEGIN
qryCtx := dbms_xmlgen.newContext (‘SELECT * from Employee WHERE Emp_id = 221930 ;’);
dbms_xmlgen.setRowSetTag(qryCtx, ‘Employee_Details’);
dbms_xmlgen.setRowTag(qryCtx, ‘Employee’);

result := dbms_xmlgen.getXML(qryCtx) ;
dbms_xmlgen.closeContext(qryCtx);
INSERT INTO temp_xml VALUES(result);
END ;

But getting the following error:

ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
ORA-00911: invalid character
ORA-06512: at “SYS.DBMS_XMLGEN”, line 7
ORA-06512: at “SYS.DBMS_XMLGEN”, line 147
ORA-06512: at line 12
19202. 00000 – “Error occurred in XML processing%s”
*Cause: An error occurred when processing the XML function
*Action: Check the given error message and fix the appropriate problem

I am not able to understand what the exact problem is. Could you please help me out on this?

Best regards,
Arijit

Dear The Oracle Alchemist ,

I need to generate a main query that will give record by record instruction and then i need to generate a second query where all the summation history of the main records will be displayed….

for example:

1
MBB ASSET BOOK
10309
AA TANAMAN HIJAU ENTERPRISE
FIXED ASSET
800161134
OFFICE EQUIPMENT.OE0011
CAPITALIZED
86111
AC-MBB ACCOUNTING
2
1

1000.00
1000.00
1000.00
MYR

2010/06/29
1198
2010/07/01
1002

0
3506
3
2011/01/17
EGL
-1
1
-1

In the above example the first ROW tag is from the main query. The last ROW tag is from the second query that is the summation of the Main query.

How to keep the tags same as ROW query for both first and second query and how to nest this two queries in single execution to get this kind of xml format. all the tag specified are very important like ROOT and ROW…….

Thanks in Advance.

Is there a max output filesize limit to XML Publisher that you have come across? I don’t see anything in the Oracle XML Publisher documentation. Thanks

I am encountering a problem in that I use rpad(field.name,4, ‘ ‘) in my query and when the sql encounters the first ‘ it thinks it is at the end of the script and wants a right parenth. My sql hasa the ‘ in numerous places and I cannot seem to get around this. any suggestions?

Thanks
Ron

I want to know if RSS feeds can be directly taken into an oracle table. How would I import an RSS feed since it is XML? Would I have to put the RSS feed into a file first or could it be realtime?

Good Post.. I have been trying in vain to remove the ‘_ROW’ tag that is displayed in the sub nodes. I know it differentiates the different rows. But my requirement is such that I need to remove the ‘_ROW’ tag.

Can someone help me find a way ?? It’s urgent for me.
