Oracle xmltype是从Oracle 9i开始支持一种新的数据类型,用于存储和管理xml数据,并提供了很多的functions,用来保存、检索和操作xml文档和管理节点。XMLType是系统定义的类型,所以可以使用它作为一个函数的参数或表或视图中的列的数据类型。也可以创建表和视图的XMLType。当你创建一个表中的一个XMLType列,你可以选择XML数据存储在一个CLOB列,作为二进制XML(内部存储为CLOB),或对象的关系。
下面将介绍Oracle XMLType的一些基本使用。
1、创建一个包含XMLType类型列的表,并插入测试数据
zx@TEST>create table t1 (id number,xml_data sys.xmltype);
Table created.
zx@TEST>desc t1
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- --------------------------------------------------------------------
ID NUMBER
XML_DATA SYS.XMLTYPE
zx@TEST>insert into t1 values(1,'abc');
insert into t1 values(1,'abc')
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00210: expected '<' instead of 'a'
Error at line 1
zx@TEST>insert into t1 values(1,'<abc>1</abc>');
1 row created.
zx@TEST>col xml_data for a80
zx@TEST>select * from t1;
ID XML_DATA
---------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 <abc>1</abc>
从上面看出,XMLType可以做为列中列的数据类型,在插入数据时必须符合XML格式才能插入,否则会报错。
2、查看XMLType的存储形式
从user_segments视图中看出XMLType列是以LOB字段存储的
zx@TEST>select segment_name,segment_type from user_segments;
SEGMENT_NAME SEGMENT_TYPE
------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------
T1 TABLE
SYS_IL0000074607C00003$$ LOBINDEX
SYS_LOB0000074607C00003$$ LOBSEGMENT
查看user_lobs是否对应xml_data列
zx@TEST>col column_name for a30
zx@TEST>col table_name for a30
zx@TEST>select table_name,column_name,segment_name from user_lobs;
TABLE_NAME COLUMN_NAME SEGMENT_NAME
------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------
T1 SYS_NC00003$ SYS_LOB0000074607C00003$$
从上面的查询结果可以看到LOBSEGMENT对应的表T1中的列SYS_NC00003$,而不是XML_DATA列,而且表T1中没有这个列,再次查询user_tab_cols视图
zx@TEST>col data_type for a30
zx@TEST>select TABLE_NAME,COLUMN_NAME,DATA_TYPE,HIDDEN_COLUMN,COLUMN_ID from user_tab_cols;
TABLE_NAME COLUMN_NAME DATA_TYPE HIDDEN_CO COLUMN_ID
------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ --------- ----------
T1 ID NUMBER NO 1
T1 XML_DATA XMLTYPE NO 2
T1 SYS_NC00003$ CLOB YES 2
从上面的查询中可以看出列SYS_NC00003$是表T1中的隐藏列,它与列XML_DATA列的COLUMN_ID都是2,说明它们是同一列。由此可以看出XMLType类型的数据由CLOB类型列协助保存。由下面的表定义也可以推断出这一点:
zx@TEST>select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE','T1',USER) from dual;
DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TABLE','T1',USER)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CREATE TABLE "ZX"."T1"

"XML_DATA" "SYS"."XMLTYPE"

T))
3、关于XML的一些函数
1) sys.xmltype.createxml函数
使用sys.xmltype.createxml创建XMLType类型的数据
zx@TEST>insert into t1 values(2,
2 sys.xmltype.createxml('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
3 <collection xmlns="">
4 <record>
5 <leader>-----nam0-22-----^^^450-</leader>
6 <datafield tag="200" ind1="1" ind2=" ">
7 <subfield code="a">抗震救灾</subfield>
8 <subfield code="f">奥运会</subfield>
9 </datafield>
10 <datafield tag="209" ind1=" " ind2=" ">
11 <subfield code="a">经济学</subfield>
12 <subfield code="b">计算机</subfield>
13 <subfield code="c">10001</subfield>
14 <subfield code="d">2005-07-09</subfield>
15 </datafield>
16 <datafield tag="610" ind1="0" ind2=" ">
17 <subfield code="a">计算机</subfield>
18 <subfield code="a">笔记本</subfield>
19 </datafield>
20 </record>
21 </collection>'));
1 row created.
zx@TEST>commit;
Commit complete.
zx@TEST>col xml_data for a80
zx@TEST>select * from t1;
ID XML_DATA
---------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<collection xmlns="">
<record>
<leader>-----nam0-22-----^^^450-</leader>
<datafield tag="200" ind1="1" ind2=" ">
<subfield code="a">抗震救灾</subfield>
<subfield code="f">奥运会</subfield>
</datafield>
<datafield tag="209" ind1=" " ind2=" ">
<subfield code="a">经济学</subfield>
<subfield code="b">计算机</subfield>
<subfield code="c">10001</subfield>
<subfield code="d">2005-07-09</subfield>
</datafield>
<datafield tag="610" ind1="0" ind2=" ">
<subfield code="a">计算机</subfield>
<subfield code="a">笔记本</subfield>
</datafield>
</record>
</collection>
2) extractvalue函数
extractvalue函数提供对XML文件的检索功能只能返回一个节点的一个值,如果该节点有多个值,则系统提示错误。
zx@TEST>col data for a80
zx@TEST>select extractvalue(i.xml_data,'/collection/record/leader') data from t1 i;
DATA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----nam0-22-----^^^450-
zx@TEST>select extractvalue(i.xml_data,'/collection/record/datafield') data from t1 i;
select extractvalue(i.xml_data,'/collection/record/datafield') data from t1 i
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-19025: EXTRACTVALUE returns value of only one node
3) extract函数
extract函数查询XMLType的内容,它可以返回一个节点下的所有值。它返回的是XML格式的。
zx@TEST>select extract(i.xml_data,'/collection/record/datafield/subfield') data from t1 i;
DATA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<subfield xmlns="" code="a">抗震救灾</subfield><subfield xmlns="" code="f">奥运
会</subfield><subfield xmlns="" code="a">经济学</subfield><subfield xmlns="" cod
e="b">计算机</subfield><subfield xmlns="" code="c">10001</subfield><subfield xml
ns="" code="d">2005-07-09</subfield><subfield xmlns="" code="a">计算机</subfield
><subfield xmlns="" code="a">笔记本</subfield>
查询tag="610",且code="a"所对应的值
zx@TEST>select extract(i.xml_data,'/collection/record/datafield[@tag="610"]/subfield[@code="a"]') data from t1 i;
DATA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<subfield xmlns="" code="a">计算机</subfield><subfield xmlns="" code="a">笔记本<
/subfield>
4) table和XMLSequence
如果只想返回它值就要是用上面的两个函数了。
zx@TEST>select extractvalue(value(i),'/subfield') data
2 from t1 x,
3 table(xmlsequence(extract(x.xml_data,'/collection/record/datafield[@tag="610"]/subfield[@code="a"]'))) i;
DATA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
计算机
笔记本
4) updatexml
使用updatexml更新XMLType里的内容,把tag="209"、code="a"的经济学修改为“赵旭”
zx@TEST>update t1 set xml_data=
2 updatexml(xml_data,'/collection/record/datafield[@tag="209"]/subfield[@code="a"]/text()','赵旭');
1 row updated.
zx@TEST>select * from t1;
ID XML_DATA
---------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<collection xmlns="">
<record>
<leader>-----nam0-22-----^^^450-</leader>
<datafield tag="200" ind1="1" ind2=" ">
<subfield code="a">抗震救灾</subfield>
<subfield code="f">奥运会</subfield>
</datafield>
<datafield tag="209" ind1=" " ind2=" ">
<subfield code="a">赵旭</subfield>
<subfield code="b">计算机</subfield>
<subfield code="c">10001</subfield>
<subfield code="d">2005-07-09</subfield>
</datafield>
<datafield tag="610" ind1="0" ind2=" ">
<subfield code="a">计算机</subfield>
<subfield code="a">笔记本</subfield>
</datafield>
</record>
</collection>
