Well, it works for me out of the box as advertised.
Code snippet:
my $sth_admin_audit_files = $dbh->prepare(qq{
INSERT INTO array_audit.admin_audit_files
(instance_id
,file_crdt
,fname
,file_header
,file_header_raw
)
VALUES
(:instance_id
,TO_DATE(:file_crdt, 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
,:fname
,SYS.XMLType.CREATEXML(:file_header)
,:file_header_raw
)
RETURNING admin_audit_file_id, crmo
INTO :admin_audit_file_id, :crmo
}) || die $DBI::errstr;
Running on
1. RH Linux 3.0 and 4.0
2. DBI v1.47
3. DBD::Oracle v1.16
4. Oracle v9.2.0.5.0; v10.2.1.0.3; v10.2.0.2.0
My files are around the order of 37Kb in size and I do nothing special
with them (aside from convert the text into XML). My user has only
insert on the table with the XMLTYPE in it.
Does the user running the Perl program have INSERT privs on the table?
Is there a synonym issue or a role issue?

Subject: DBD::Oracle - Any advance on inserting CLOB to XMLTYPE?
It seems the current state of affairs is that for inserting to XMLTYPE
fields:
a) for <32k, can just insert text
b) for >32k, must insert to CLOB, then use a procedure to update XMLTYPE
(see
http://www.issociate.de/board/post/206125/DBD::Oracle_and_XMLType.html
for a summary of the details)
Personally I've tried just about every trick in the book to try and
get a direct-insert of large xml documents into xmltype fields, but to
no avail.
What troubles me is that this _should_ work:
# NB: CREATE TABLE tryit ( formname VARCHAR(25), x XMLTYPE )
INSERT INTO tryit (formname, x) VALUES (?, XMLTYPE(?))"
$sth = $dbh->prepare( "INSERT INTO tryit (formname, x) VALUES (?,
XMLTYPE(?))" );
$sth->bind_param(1, "INSERTXMLTYPE" );
$sth->bind_param(2, XMLout( \%dslong , RootName => "books"), { TYPE =>
SQL_CLOB } );
$sth->execute or warn "INSERTXMLTYPE creation failure";
but it actually just gives ORA-00942: table or view does not exist.
this is a bogus message (search metalink for "XMLTYPE ORA-00942"). try
an alternative like "INSERT INTO tryit (formname, x) VALUES (?,
XMLTYPE(CAST(? as CLOB)))" and you get ORA-00932: inconsistent
datatypes.
All of the above is old news I think.
Why I raise this now is that I discovered the python guys seem to have
got it working OK. See
http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.db.cx-oracle/month=20050401
connection = cx_Oracle.Connection("user/pw <at> tns")
cursor = connection.cursor()
cursor.setinputsizes(value = cx_Oracle.CLOB)
cursor.execute("insert into xmltable values (xmltype(:value))",
value = "A very long XML string")
Seems very much like a binding issue on the DBI/DBD side.
Any thoughts?
