updating an element text in XML document [message #570785]

Hi,

I have table called shipper with document_xml as CLOB column

The sample content of document_xml is below

<placemark id = "5467">
<name> 415-CI-78492</name>
<description><![CDATA[<//!!!!//15249599]]></description>
<ICON><href>http://localhost:63077/Icons/Markers/pushpin.png</href></Icon>

and there are other attributes continued

Objective: I want to replace "href" element in each of the record with "http://http://localhost:63077/Icons/Markers/ship.png" value.

After I update the row the data should look as follows

<placemark id = "5467">
<name> 415-CI-78492</name>
<description><![CDATA[<//!!!!//15249599]]></description>
<ICON><href>http://localhost:63077/Icons/Markers/ship.png</href></Icon>.

I have to do this for bunch of records in a table(table_name = shipper).

Is there an oracle function to replace/update the href element in a CLOB column?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

>Objective: I want to replace "href" element in each of the record with "http://http://localhost:63077/Icons/Markers/ship.png" value.

above does ("http://http://localhost") not match below ("http://localhost"), so I am confused.

>After I update the row the data should look as follows
><ICON><href>http://localhost:63077/Icons/Markers/ship.png</href></Icon>.

Why did you NOT provide a functioning Test Case?

Sorry for the typo but basically I want to replace the href element in an xml document.

What ever may be the content between <href> <href> tags I need to replace with a one value ex:http://localhost:63077/Icons/Markers/ship.png".

Thanks

After fixing your data to be a valid XML string:

SQL> with 
  2    data as (
  3      select xmltype('<placemark id = "5467">
  4  <name> 415-CI-78492</name>
  5  <description><![CDATA[<//!!!!//15249599]]></description>
  6  <ICON><href>http://localhost:63077/Icons/Markers/pushpin.png</href></ICON>
  7  </placemark>') val from dual
  8    )
  9  select updatexml(val,'//href/text()','http://http://localhost:63077/Icons/Markers/ship.png')
 10  from data
 11  /
UPDATEXML(VAL,'//HREF/TEXT()','HTTP://HTTP://LOCALHOST:63077/ICONS/MARKERS/SHIP.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<placemark id="5467"><name> 415-CI-78492</name><description><![CDATA[<//!!!!//15
249599]]></description><ICON><href>http://http://localhost:63077/Icons/Markers/s
hip.png</href></ICON></placemark>
