INSERT INTO chipsxmltable VALUES(

</samp:Field1>'));
To show the data as a field with structure:
--------------------------------------------
1. Query:
----------
Select * from chipsxmltable1;
Output:
-------
ID XMLDATA
---------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
1 <?xml version="1.0"?>
<samp:Field1 xmlns:samp="http://www.oradev.com/chipsxml.xsd">
<UTI>
<U01>No</U01>
<U02>No</U02>
<U03>Y</U03>
<U03a>Y</U03a>
<U03b>Y</U03b>
<U03c>Y</U03c>
<U04>Y</U04>
<U05>Y</U05>
</UTI>
</samp:Field1>
2. Query: (Both the query displays the same Output)
----------
SELECT X.xmldata.getClobVal() "XMLDATA" FROM chipsxmltable1 X;
select extract(XMLDATA, '/Field1').getstringval() "XMLDATA" from chipsxmltable1 x;
Output:
--------
XMLDATA
-----------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<samp:Field1 xmlns:samp="http://www.oradev.com/chipsxml.xsd">
<UTI>
<U01>No</U01>
<U02>No</U02>
<U03>Y</U03>
<U03a>Y</U03a>
<U03b>Y</U03b>
<U03c>Y</U03c>
<U04>Y</U04>
<U05>Y</U05>
</UTI>
</samp:Field1>
To show the data as a single string without structure using "getstringval()":
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Query
---------
select extract(XMLDATA, '//text()').getstringval() "CHIPS - XML" from chipsxmltable1 x;
OUtput:
-------
CHIPS - XML
---------------------
NoNoYYYYYY
To show the data as a single string without structure using "getclobval()":
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.Query
-------
select extract(XMLDATA, '//text()').getClobVal() "CHIPS - XML" from chipsxmltable1 x;
Output:
--------
CHIPS - XML
-----------------
NoNoYYYYYY
To show the data in a particular tag with/Without structure (Which is not working) using "EXTRACT" function:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.Query:
---------
select extract(XMLDATA, '/Field1/text()').getstringval() "XMLDATA" from chipsxmltable1 x;
select extract(XMLDATA, '/Field1/UTI').getstringval() "XMLDATA" from chipsxmltable1 x;
select extract(XMLDATA, '/Field1/UTI/U01').getstringval() "XMLDATA" from chipsxmltable1 x;
select extract(XMLDATA, '/Field1/UTI/U01/text()').getstringval() "XMLDATA" from chipsxmltable1 x;
Output:
--------
CHIPS - XML
---------------------------------------
The above queries are not fetching the value.
To show the data in a particular tag with/Without structure (Which is not working) using "EXTRACTVALUE" function:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Query:
----------
select extractValue(XMLDATA, '/Field1/UTI') "XMLDATA" from chipsxmltable1 x;
select extractValue(XMLDATA, '/Field1/UTI/U01') "XMLDATA" from chipsxmltable1 x;
Output:
--------
X
-
The above queries are not fetching the value.
My question is:
--------------------
How to fetch values from xml tag when the value are inserted through xml schema?
Apologies if the description is not clear. Kindly let me know if further details are needed. Many thanks for your help.
Very best regards,
