I have an existing table in an Oracle 10gR2 that I added a XMLTYPE
column to it. Now, I need to fill this field with a XML that is composed with a mixture of values from the fields of each row, but I can't get the syntax down correctly. Below is the correctly working SELECT statement that generates the desired XML for each row:
SELECT XMLELEMENT("TBLOrigs",
XMLELEMENT("TBLOrig", XMLATTRIBUTES(Field1 AS "Field1"),
XMLFOREST(Field2 AS "Field2", Field3 AS "Field3", Field4 AS "Field4", Field5 AS "Field5"),
XMLELEMENT("Dets",
XMLFOREST(Field6, Field7 AS "Field7")))) AS XmlCol
FROM TBLOrigin Orig1
WHERE Field1 <= 10
The UPDATE I'm trying is something like this, but it's not working:
UPDATE TBLOrigin
SET AUXFIELD = (
SELECT XMLELEMENT("TBLOrigs",
XMLELEMENT("TBLOrig", XMLATTRIBUTES(Field1 AS "Field1"),
XMLFOREST(Field2 AS "Field2", Field3 AS "Field3", Field4 AS "Field4", Field5 AS "Field5"),
XMLELEMENT("Dets",
XMLFOREST(Field6, Field7 AS "Field7")))) AS XmlCol
FROM TBLOrigin Orig1
WHERE Orig1.Field1 = Orig2.Field1
AND Orig1.Field2 = Orig2.Field2
AND Orig1.Field3 = Orig2.Field3
AND Orig1.Field4 = Orig2.Field4
AND Orig1.Field5 = Orig2.Field5)
FROM TBLOrigin Orig2
WHERE Field1 <= 10
I'm trying to UPDATE each row with the XML content generated from it's fields. I keep getting the error below:
Erro na Linha de Comando:13 Coluna:47
Relatório de Erro:
Erro de SQL: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended

*Cause:
*Action:
Just as a reference, below is the working UPDATE in Transact Sql
UPDATE dbo.TBLOrigin
SET AuxInfo = (SELECT
Field1 as "@Field1",
Field2 as "Field2",
Field3 as "Field3",
Field4 as "Field4",
Field5 as "Field5",
Field6 as "Dets/Field6",
Field7 as "Dets/Field7"
FROM dbo.TBLOrigin AS Orig1
WHERE Orig1.Field1 = Orig2.Field1
AND Orig1.Field2 = Orig2.Field2
AND Orig1.Field3 = Orig2.Field3
AND Orig1.Field4 = Orig2.Field4
AND Orig1.Field5 = Orig2.Field5
FOR XML PATH('TBLOrig'), TYPE, ROOT('TBLOrigs'))
FROM dbo.TBLOrigin Orig2
Tks so much for any help
Oracle doesn't do UPDATE...FROM
Does the following work ?
If not, can you post the table definition.
