Hello,

When I run this script:
UPDATE BOOKTABLE
SET clobXmlCol = INSERTCHILDXML(clobXmlCol, 'books','bookname', XMLType('<bookname>Harry Potter</bookname>'))

I'm getting this error:
SQL Error: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CLOB
00932. 00000 - "inconsistent datatypes: expected %s got %s"

clobXmlCol column is of clob type.

Please help.

The clobxmlcol needs to be xmltype not clob. Please see the example below.

SCOTT@orcl_11gR2> create table booktable
  2    (clobxmlcol  xmltype)
  3  /

Table created.

SCOTT@orcl_11gR2> INSERT INTO booktable VALUES (xmltype (
  2  '<books>
  3   </books>'))
  4  /

1 row created.

SCOTT@orcl_11gR2> select * from booktable
  2  /

CLOBXMLCOL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<books>
 </books>


1 row selected.

SCOTT@orcl_11gR2> UPDATE BOOKTABLE
  2  SET clobXmlCol = INSERTCHILDXML
  3  			(clobXmlCol,
  4  			 'books',
  5  			 'bookname',
  6  			 XMLType ('<bookname>Harry Potter</bookname>'))
  7  /

1 row updated.

SCOTT@orcl_11gR2> select * from booktable
  2  /

CLOBXMLCOL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<books>
  <bookname>Harry Potter</bookname>
</books>


1 row selected.

Thank you for your reply.

The clobxmlcol column type can not be changed from clob to xmltype. Any suggestion how to make it work with this restriction?

You will need to convert it from clob to xml using xmltype() then back to clob using .getclobval() as shown below.

SCOTT@orcl_11gR2> create table booktable
  2    (clobxmlcol  clob)
  3  /

Table created.

SCOTT@orcl_11gR2> INSERT INTO booktable VALUES ('<books></books>')
  2  /

1 row created.

SCOTT@orcl_11gR2> select * from booktable
  2  /

CLOBXMLCOL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<books></books>

1 row selected.

SCOTT@orcl_11gR2> UPDATE booktable
  2  SET    clobxmlcol =
  3  	    (SELECT INSERTCHILDXML
  4  		      (XMLTYPE (clobxmlcol),
  5  		       'books',
  6  		       'bookname',
  7  		       XMLTYPE ('<bookname>Harry Potter</bookname>')).getclobval()
  8  	     FROM   booktable)
  9  /

1 row updated.

SCOTT@orcl_11gR2> select * from booktable
  2  /

CLOBXMLCOL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<books><bookname>Harry Potter</bookname></books>

1 row selected.
