PS: this is how the TITLE col looks:
not sure how to fix this..any ideas?? Thanks
The error seems to be due to the fact that the TITLE
column is an XMLTYPE
. If so, this can be a way:
delete from db
where xmltype.getstringval(TITLE)= '<value lang="EN">template shared for all assets</value>'
You could use an XMLQuery to compare the XML with the value you want, for example using:
xmlquery('for $i in /values/value[@lang="EN"]
where $i/text() = "template shared for all assets" return $i'
passing title returning content)
Quick demo:
create table db (id number, title xmltype);
insert into db (id, title) values (1,
xmltype('<values><value lang="EN">db shared</value></values>'));
insert into db (id, title) values (2,
xmltype('<values><value lang="EN">template shared for all assets</value></values>'));
select id,
xmlquery('/values/value[@lang="EN"]/text()' passing title returning content) as title,
xmlquery('for $i in /values/value[@lang="EN"]
where $i/text() = "template shared for all assets" return $i/text()'
passing title returning content) as matched
from db
order by id;
ID TITLE MATCHED
---------- ----------------------------------- -----------------------------------
1 db shared
2 template shared for all assets template shared for all assets
delete from db
where xmlquery('for $i in /values/value[@lang="EN"]
where $i/text() = "template shared for all assets" return $i'
passing title returning content) is not null;
1 row deleted.
select id,
xmlquery('/values/value[@lang="EN"]/text()' passing title returning content) as title,
xmlquery('for $i in /values/value[@lang="EN"]
where $i/text() = "template shared for all assets" return $i/text()'
passing title returning content) as matched
from db
order by id;
ID TITLE MATCHED
---------- ----------------------------------- -----------------------------------
1 db shared
