ORA-31011: XML parsing failed while calling srw.run_report from database Below is a sample report calling block I copied from Oracle Forums. There was a mistake in the block which was causing the error ORA-31011: XML parsing failed. The solution is simple. the GATEWAY parameter had a 'question mark' at the end of the link.

DECLARE v_paramlist srw_paramlist; v_jobident srw.job_ident; v_status srw.status_record;  BEGIN srw.start_debugging; v_paramlist := srw_paramlist(srw_parameter('...

Oracle's Web Toolkit (HTP/HTF) supports creating webpages with full control. I have been using them for my official project and we have built a framework associated with a style sheet we have created. Among other things it supports uploading files by user. Using the HTML INPUT type="file" we can position the file selection dialog. The form needs to be open with multipart/form-data. For the first time if you are using this functionality you may have to configure the table name where Oracle populates the file in a BLOB column. The configuration is part of DAD , placed in Database server within / dbfolder /Apache/modplsql/conf/dads.conf file. " dbfolder " is where you have installed the database. In the Location tag specify a table for the attribute      PlsqlDocumentTablename MYDOCUMENTS A sample document table can consist of the following: CREATE TABLE [table_name] (   NAME VARCHAR2(256) UNIQUE NOT NULL,   MIME_TYPE VARCHAR2(128), ...
