Using the XML Schema Designer

In general, to use the XML Schema Designer, you specify the schema’s URL, its scope, and the file containing the schema’s text.

The XML Schema Designer has the following controls:

Control Description
Schema URL

Enter the name of the schema in standard URL format, for example:

http://xmls.mycompany.com/myfile.xsd
Scope

Select from the following:

  • Local: Sets the schema to be visible only to the user creating it.

  • Global: Sets the schema to be visible to the public.

Specify the file that contains the schema text In the File box, specify the file name or click Browse to search for the file in the local file system.
Use for Binary XML Storage

Registers the XML Schema to be used for binary XML storage.

XMLType tables or columns that need to store a schema-based XMLType as binary XML must use an XML Schema registered for binary XML storage. XML Schemas registered for binary XML storage cannot be used to create schema-based XMLType table or columns with Object relational storage. Binary XML is available in Oracle Database version 11.2.0.1 or later.

Preview SQL Displays the SQL that will be executed when OK is clicked.

Cancel Closes the dialog without creating the XML Schema.
