Database URI TYPEs

286 Database URI TYPEs

Oracle supports the UriType family of types that can be used to store and query Uri-refs inside the database. The UriType itself is an abstract object type and the HTTPURITYPE, XDBURITYPE and DBURITYPE are subtypes of it.

You can create a UriType column and store instances of the DBURITYPE, XDBURITYPE or the HTTPURITYPE inside of it. You can also define your own subtypes of the UriType to handle different URL protocols.

Oracle also provides a UriFactory package that can be used as a factory method to automatically generate various instances of these UriTypes by scanning the prefix, such as http:// or /oradb. You can also register your subtype and provide the prefix that you support. For instance, if you have written a subtype to handle the gopher protocol, you can register the prefix gopher:// to be handled by your subtype. The UriFactory will then generate your subtype instance for any URL starting with that prefix.

This chapter contains the following topics:

286.1 Summary of URITYPE Supertype Subprograms

The UriType is the abstract super type. It provides a standard set of functions to get the value pointed to by the URI. The actual implementation of the protocol must be defined by the subtypes of this type.

Instances of this type cannot be created directly. However, you can create columns of this type and store subtype instances in it, and also select from columns without knowing the instance of the URL stored.

Table 286-1 URITYPE Type Subprograms

GETBLOB	Returns the `BLOB` located at the address specified by the URL.
GETCLOB	Returns the `CLOB` located at the address specified by the URL.

GETEXTERNALURL	Returns the URL, in escaped format, stored inside the `UriType` instance.
GETURL	Returns the URL, in non-escaped format, stored inside the `UriType` instance.
GETXML	Returns the `XMLType` located at the address specified by the URL.

286.1.2 UriType Supertype GETCLOB

This function returns the CLOB located at the address specified by the URL.

url

(IN)

The URL string containing a valid XDBUriType. The URL string is expected in escaped format. For example, non-URL characters are represented as the hexadecimal value for the UTF-8 encoding of those characters.

flags

(IN)

Possible values are:

1 - Expand all XInclude elements before returning the result contents. If any XInclude element cannot be successfully resolved according to the XInclude fallback semantics, then an error is raised.
2 - Indicates that any errors during document retrieval should be suppressed
3 - Both flag bits (1, 2) are enabled

286.5 Summary of URIFACTORY Package Subprograms

The UriFactory package contains factory methods that can be used to generate the appropriate instance of the URI types without having to hard code the implementation in the program.

The UriFactory package also provides the ability to register new subtypes of the UriType to handle various other protocols. For example, you can invent a new protocol ecom:// and define a subtype of the UriType to handle that protocol and register it with UriFactory. After that any factory method would generate the new subtype instance if it sees the ecom:// prefix.

Table 286-22 URIFACTORY Type Subprograms

Method	Description
GETURI	Returns the correct URL handler for the given URL string.
ESCAPEURI	Returns a URL in escaped format.
UNESCAPEURI	Returns a URL in unescaped format.
REGISTERURLHANDLER	Registers a particular type name for handling a particular URL.
UNREGISTERURLHANDLER	Unregisters a URL handler.

286.5.1 UriFactory Package GETURI

This factory method returns the correct URI handler for the given URI string.

It returns a subtype instance of the UriType that can handle the protocol. By default, it always creates an XDBURITYPE instance, if it cannot resolve the URL. A URL handler can be registered for a particular prefix using the REGISTERURLHANDLER function. If the prefix matches, GETURI would then use that subtype.

Syntax

FUNCTION getUri(
   url IN Varchar2)
RETURN UriType;

Table 286-23 UriFactory Package GETURI Parameters

Parameter	IN / OUT	Description
`uri`	`(IN)`	The URL string, in escaped format, containing a valid HTTP URL.

286.5.2 UriFactory Package ESCAPEURI

This function returns a URL in escaped format.

The subtype instances override this member function to provide additional semantics. For instance, the HTTPURITYPE does not store the prefix http:// in the URL itself. When generating the external URL, it appends the prefix and generates it. For this reason, use the GETEXTERNALURL function or the GETURI function to get to the URL value instead of using the attribute present in the UriType.

Syntax

MEMBER FUNCTION escapeUri()
RETURN varchar2;

Table 286-24 UriFactory Package ESCAPEURI Parameters

Parameter	IN / OUT	Description
`url`	`(IN)`	The URL string to be returned in escaped format.

286.5.3 UriFactory Package UNESCAPEURI

This function returns a URL in unescaped format.

This function is the reverse of the ESCAPEURI function. This function scans the string and converts any non-URL hexadecimal characters into the equivalent UTF-8 characters. Since the return type is a VARCHAR2, the characters would be converted into the equivalent characters as defined by the database character set.

Syntax

FUNCTION unescapeUri()
RETURN varchar2;

Table 286-25 UriFactory Package UNESCAPEURI Parameters

Parameter	IN / OUT	Description
`url`	`(IN)`	The URL string to be returned in unescaped format.

286.5.4 UriFactory Package REGISTERURLHANDLER

This package registers a particular type name for handling a particular URL.

The type specified must be valid and must be a subtype of the UriType or one of its subtypes. It must also implement the createUri static member function. This function is called by the GETURI function to generate an instance of the type. The stripprefix parameter indicates that the prefix must be stripped off before calling this function.

Syntax

PROCEDURE registerUrlHandler(
   prefix IN varchar2,
   schemaName IN varchar2,
   typename IN varchar2,
   ignoreCase IN boolean := true,
   stripprefix IN boolean := true);

Table 286-26 UriFactory Package REGISTERURLHANDLER Parameters

`typename`	`(IN)`	The name of the type to handle the URL; case sensitive.
`ignoreCase`	`(IN)`	Ignore case when matching prefixes.
`stripprefix`	`(IN)`	Strip prefix before generating the instance of the type.

286.5.5 UriFactory Package UNREGISTERURLHANDLER

This procedure unregisters a URL handler. This only unregisters user registered handler prefixes and not predefined system prefixes such as http://.

Syntax

PROCEDURE unregisterUrlHandler(
   prefix IN VARCHAR2);

Table 286-27 UriFactory Package UNREGISTERURLHANDLER Parameters
