HOWTO: Consume Anydata via XMLType (and back)

Original article

Submitted by marco on Mon, 2011-11-21 11:18

This was a small mind exercise on the OakTable website (OakTable Challenge)for a person regarding how to go from a relational table to anydata datatype table and back, which I, of course, approached via an “XMLType” of way thinking. Probably the whole thing is not that practical and/or can be optimized in various ways, but …

Oracle XMLDB XQuery Update in Database Release 11.2.0.3.0

Submitted by marco on Thu, 2011-09-22 11:40

I just made use of the very cool OTN Virtual Developer Day Database site. In this environment you can follow OTN Developer Day sessions, for example, at home, while making use of all the material available on that site plus the downloadable Virtualbox OTN Developer Day Appliance. Despite you can choose for tracks like Java, .Net, APEX, there is also a database section which handles (as you might expect it from me regarding interest) Oracle XMLDB functionality.

Updated XML Content & Paper section

Once per year I try to update the “XML Content” page that, in principle, should contain all my XML relevant thoughts and “how to” posts, so I can find my gained “wisdom” a bit more quickly (getting old and stuff). This year I had only 14 and a bit of such XML related posts, which was afterwards easily explained when I updated my “Paper” page where among others I have a list on “presentations” done… Oops… I have been busy…

Oracle XBRL Extension Ready for Download

Original article

Submitted by marco on Wed, 2011-01-05 17:38

The new ready to download Oracle XBRL Extension is a “no cost option” on top of the latest Oracle Database 11.2.0.2.0 release. With this added functionality you will get a database environment that contains

One or more back-end XBRL repositories based on Oracle Database, which provide XBRL storage and query-ability with a set of XBRL-specific services
An external XBRL processing engine (XPE)

The XBRL Extension to Oracle XML DB integrates easily with Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) for analytics and with interactive development environments (IDEs) and design tools for creating and editing XBRL taxonomies.

Architecture of XBRL Extension to Oracle XML DB

Oracle XBRL Extension

There is a generic “patch” (patch 10411201), p10411201_112020_generic.zip, which can be downloaded from http://support.oracle.com and installed to be used on top of the Oracle 11.2.0.2.0 XML DB. In addition, there are also two platform-specific patches (currently only available for Linux-x86-64 and Solaris-64 platforms):

For the Linux-x86 64 bit platform:

p10074437_112020_Linux-x86-64.zip
p10232225_112020_Linux-x86-64.zip

For the Solaris 64 bit platform:

p10074437_112020_SOLARIS64.zip
p10232225_112020_SOLARIS64.zip

Besides a installation readme, also a HTML/PDF document is available in these patches that have extensive info on how to use this XML DB XBRL extension and a demo based on the US GAAP XBRL taxonomy. On the Oracle XBRL Extension main page, you also can see the power of this architecture combined with web enabled application, the standard tools like Microsoft Excel, Word and analyses done on such an taxonomy database architecture via Oracle BI Server.

For more information see the Oracle XBRL Extension main page or the Oracle XML DB discussion forum.

So you’re on 11.2.0.2.0 and you encountered in SQL*Plus this new feature “Unoptimized XML construct detected (enable XMLOptimizationCheck for more information)“. What can you do and how to get more info…?

By noticing the “COLLECTION ITERATOR PICKLER FETCH” this already dawned with me. In principle a “COLLECTION ITERATOR PICKLER FETCH” means that the XML document or (intermediate) fragment is handled in memory and should be avoided because it is “serialized” and dealt via a Pickler Fetch routine, which in most cases is done via a standard XML parser, which can not be optimized by Oracle, for example, because Oracle doesn’t have enough information (provided maybe via an XML Schema) to re-write this query in a more optimal form. See this website for more information on collection iterator pickler fetches.

XMLOptimizationCheck

The “Unoptimized XML construct detected (enable XMLOptimizationCheck for more information)” is new in SQL*Plus / database version 11.2.0.2.0 and is the equivalent of setting a 19021 level 0×1 via for example: ALTER session SET events =’19021 trace name context forever, level 0×1′.

By setting the “XMLOptimizationCheck” setting in SQL*Plus, Oracle/the database will refuse to execute this unoptimized code.

BE AWARE:
Playing with internal Oracle support database events should only be done when advised by Oracle support, or on a test system were it is not a big deal when this gets corrupted! My advice from me to you, but don’t start whining if it break your environment…You can’t say I didn’t warn you.

According to an entry in the XMLDB Developers manual this is only used in a “test” or “debug” situation.

When this mode is on, the plan of execution is automatically checked for XQuery optimization, and if the plan is suboptimal then an error is raised and diagnostic information is written to the trace file indicating which operators are not rewritten.

And in the SQL*Plus manual for the latest release, under new features, 11.2.0.2, it states:

SET XMLOPTIMIZATIONCHECK
SET XMLOPTIMIZATIONCHECK specifies that only fully optimized XML queries and DML operations are executed. It is only to assist during code development and debugging.

Reason: upkxml2sql
#66cc66;">===============================================================================
#66cc66;">.

As shown here its depicts the “upkxml2sql” method as the guilty one. You can now try to avoid this issue by using alternative means and/or provide the database with more information, for example, while using XMLType Binary storage, XML Schema based storage (Object Relational / Binary XML) or register an XML Schema in the XDB Repository. Other alternatives could be avoiding the use of the “//” XPath operator.

The moment the query is parsed and executed / shared in cache via the cursor sharing mechanism, then there is a chance you won’t see a trace file. To avoid cursor sharing you could set the cursor sharing to “exact” and/or add white space to your query or alternate upper/lower case and/or other small tricks to force re-parsing.

Before Oracle 11.2.0.2.0 there is an alternative since, AFAIK at least, Oracle version 11.x. by setting the 19027 event, level 0×2000 to get a bit more insight in what happens under the hood, if Oracle can optimize (or not), the request via query re-write.

19027 trace name context forever, level 0×2000

If you would set the 19027 event, level 0×2000, then a trace file is produced in the trace directory of the base DIAG directory structure.

The trace file can be found via following the DIAG directory structure, which can be found, for example, via entering “show parameter diag” in SQL*Plus (as user SYS or alternative highly privileged database account).

One of the latest trace files in this directory shows now similar content in that trace file as shown below.

So both XMLTABLE subsections of the used query are attempted by Oracle to rewritten into internal XQuery (“xq”, XQuery, extract, evaluate, xml2sql, xq sequence routines). Looking at the original query…

XMLDB Whitepapers and Tooling about Design, Performance and Selectivity

Submitted by marco on Thu, 2010-07-15 21:06

From time to time the main Oracle XML DB page gets updated with new whitepapers, tooling or Oracle By Example/ Hands-on Lab examples. “Lately” some cool and interesting new whitepapers and updated tooling content were created on this main Oracle XML DB page. The following items and content are really worth reading. Small issue, though, is that you need a bit more than basic understanding to put all this “lessons learned from the last one, two years” into context, but its worth it and otherwise a small reprise on the Oracle XML DB Developers Guide is always useful. A bit like re-reading the Oracle Concepts Manual.

Technology Preview: Oracle XML DB Ease of Use Tools for Structured Storage (ZIP)

The “Ease of Use Tools” (xdbutilities.zip tool set) for handling XMLType Object Relational storage has been updated and is now applicable on Oracle 10.x and 11.x. No specific to be installed versioned tool set needed anymore. This prepacked tool set on PL/SQL packages is installable on both versions. The zip file also contains a whitepaper that describes some of the (performance) lessons learned while using XMLType Object Relational storage.
