Hi All,

I was trying to extract the Customer information from a Table's XML column. Was using the below SQL.

select t.id,y.CustomerName,y.CustomerDOB,y.CustomerEmail,z.Address,z.city,z.Zip,z.State
from test_xml t,
XMLTable('/USACustomers/NewYorkCustomers'
passing XMLType(t.xml_date)
columns Customer XMLType path '//Customer' ) x,
XMLTable('/Customer/CustomerData' 
passing x.Customer 
columns CustomerName varchar2(10) path '//CustomerName',
                 CustomerDOB   varchar2(10)  path '//CustomerDOB',
                 CustomerEmail varchar2(30) path '//CustomerEmail'
                 ) y,
XMLTable('/Customer/CustomerAddress'   
 passing x.Customer 
columns Address varchar2(10) path '//Address',
                 City   varchar2(10)  path '//City',
                 State varchar2(30) path '//State',
                 Zip     varchar2(20)  path '//Zip'
                 ) z;

--  DDL for Table TEST_XML
--------------------------------------------------------
  CREATE TABLE TEST_XML
   (        ID NUMBER, 
            XML_DATE CLOB
   );
/
Insert into test_xml (ID,XML_DATE) values (1,'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<USACustomers>
    <NewYorkCustomers>
        <Customer>

            </CustomerAddress>
            <CustomerProducts>
                <CustomerProduct>

                    <ProductNumber>2050920400</ProductNumber>
                </CustomerProduct>
            </CustomerProducts>
        </Customer>
    </NewYorkCustomers>
</USACustomers>');


While running the above query , I get the address field wrong , although Other fields are showing fine. Please let me know what's wrong here

[Edit MC: remove empty lines between each line.]

You need to correlate the xmltable expressions or use only one:
SQL> select t.id, x.CustomerName, x.CustomerDOB, x.CustomerEmail, x.Address, x.city, x.Zip, x.State
  2  from test_xml t,
  3       XMLTable('/USACustomers/NewYorkCustomers/Customer'
  4                passing XMLType(t.xml_date)
  5                columns
  6                CustomerName varchar2(10) path '//CustomerName',
  7                CustomerDOB   varchar2(10)  path '//CustomerDOB',
  8                CustomerEmail varchar2(20) path '//CustomerEmail',
  9                Address varchar2(10) path '//Address',
 10                City   varchar2(10)  path '//City',
 11                State varchar2(30) path '//State',
 12                Zip     varchar2(5)  path '//Zip'  ) x
 13  /
        ID CUSTOMERNA CUSTOMERDO CUSTOMEREMAIL        ADDRESS    CITY       ZIP   STATE

You have to use a result from a previous XMLTable as an input to a subsequent one.
For your example, for instance:
SQL> select t.id, y.CustomerName, y.CustomerDOB, y.CustomerEmail, z.Address, z.city, z.Zip, z.State
  2  from test_xml t,
  3       XMLTable('/USACustomers/NewYorkCustomers/Customer'
  4                passing XMLType(t.xml_date)
  5                columns
  6                CustomerData xmltype path '/Customer/CustomerData',
  7                CustomerAddress xmltype path '/Customer/CustomerAddress') x,
  8       XMLTable('/CustomerData'
  9                passing x.CustomerData
 10                columns
 11                CustomerName varchar2(10) path '//CustomerName',
 12                CustomerDOB   varchar2(10)  path '//CustomerDOB',
 13                CustomerEmail varchar2(20) path '//CustomerEmail') y,
 14       XMLTable('/CustomerAddress'
 15                passing x.CustomerAddress
 16                columns
 17                Address varchar2(10) path '//Address',
 18                City   varchar2(10)  path '//City',
 19                State varchar2(30) path '//State',
 20                Zip     varchar2(5)  path '//Zip'  ) z
 21  /
        ID CUSTOMERNA CUSTOMERDO CUSTOMEREMAIL        ADDRESS    CITY       ZIP   STATE
---------- ---------- ---------- -------------------- ---------- ---------- ----- -------------------
