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.

Your suggestion of setting in sql*plus the following parameters

set pages 0
set linesize 150
set long 9999999
set head off

Worked perfectly.

Thank you for a clear and precise explanation of how to get XML data out of Oracle – Now why can Oracle not do anything this simple and efficient to show how their technologies work?

Cheers,
Daniel

Hi there,

I have been toying with XML file generation thru dbms_xmlgen.NewContext but have been having problems suppressing multiple tags. I have something like the following-
dbms_xmlgen.newcontext(‘SELECT /*+ FIRST_ROWS PARALLEL(a11,16) PARALLEL(a12, 16) */ XMLELEMENT(“provider”, XMLForest(DECODE(a13.HOSPITAL_ID,”C”,110078,”E”,110010) as “provider-id”),XMLELEMENT( “patient”, XMLForest ( a111.PATIENT_FIRST_NM “first-name”, a111.PATIENT_LAST_NM “last-name” ),XMLELEMENT(“encounter”, XMLATTRIBUTES ( ”HOP-SURGERY” AS “measure-set”),
XMLForest ( a113.DAY_ADMIT_DESC as “encounter-date”,a110.PLAN_INSURANCE_CARD_NBR “patient-HIC-Number”, a111.PATIENT_ID as “patient-id”, a12.MEDICAL_RECORD_NBR as “medical-record-nbr”)
))) as “provider” FROM ….’);
When I write the XML Doc to a table, I get multiple “provider” tags in the document. I have defined setrowsettag to be “provider” but in addition to this I am getting the two embedded labels as well. How do I suppress them from showing up at all? All I want is just one tag defined in the setrowsettag.

Please help!!
