Hi,

I would like to know whether there are any tools which convert xml data into Oracle tables. I came across Altova's MapForce. But I am not sure whether I could use that for achieving this. Could someone suggest any other alternate option / or any help documentation of Mapforce which talks about this conversion.

Thanks, Shafi

In 10g, you can create an XMLType table and use SQL*Loader to load data into it.

See documentation for details.

Then you can fill pure relational tables with SQL statements.

The best material I've seen is two papers by Ken Atkins on "Getting XML into and out of Oracle using PL/SQL." There's a version on the ODTUG site (registered members, but registration is free) at http://www.odtug.com/apex/f?p=500:565:0:::::

Hi Jim,The above mentioned link is not showing up any content even after I registered. Could you send the link again.
Yeah, jumping into the middle of the ODTUG site isn't easy. So here's the detailed route: www.odtug.com, click on Tech Resources. In the "search by topic" area click on "PL/SQL". Enter "Atkins" in the search box and it'll be about the 4th item in the list.
