Even though both PL/SQL and Java (or) .NET can be used, PL/SQL stands above these two in terms of integration overhead. This is because Java is an open source proprietary and Data manipulation is slightly faster in PL/SQL than in Java. 

Joins are used to combine data of one or more tables. Joins should be used when there is abundant data. Joins can be LEFT, RIGHT, OUTER, INNER or even SELF JOIN. The purpose is to bind data from multiple tables without any receptivity

Oracle constraints are used to maintain consistent of data and ensure the data is properly maintained. A constraint is more or less a restriction we try to apply on a table.
Types of constraints:
- Check constraints
- NOT NULL constraint
- PRIMARY KEY constraint
- REFERENCES constraint
- UNIQUE constraint

Oracle database comprises of three kinds of files:
- Datafiles
- Redo log files
- Control files

- TABLES
- VIEWS
- INDEXES
- SYNONYMS
- SEQUENCES
- TABLESPACES

You need to first create a table in oracle that matches with the fields of the XML data.

So to get the XMl into the table, you can create a generic procedure that moves an XML document into a table by converting the elements to Oracle Canonical format.

Oracle Canonical format is as follows:

<ROWSET>

   <ROW>  

     <column_name_1 />

     .

     .

     </ROW>

     <ROW>

         <column_name_1 />

         .

         .

      </ROW> 

        .

        .

</ROWSET>        

ROW is used for the table names

ROWSET is used for the XML document

You can get the XML into the canonical form using XSL:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<xsl:stylesheet 

             xmlns:xsl="https://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"                   

             version="1.0">

     <xsl:template match="/">

          <ROWSET>

               <ROW>

                         <Attribute_name>                      

                             <xsl:value-of select="Table_name/Attribute_name" />

                         </Attribute_name>

                < /ROW>

          </ROWSET>

     </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

To transform the XML document into the canonical form, you can write a procedure. Make sure you include the line below in your procedure code:

v_rows := DBMS_XMLStore.insertXML(

                v_context,    

                XMLType.transform(p_xml_in, p_xsl_in));

The only remaining step is calling your procedure: 

DECLARE

   v_xml XMLType := XMLType( YOUR XML Document );

   v_xsl XMLType := XMLType( YOUR XSL Document );

BEGIN 

   procedure_name(v_xml, v_xsl, 'table_name');

END;

SQL Server can be linked to any server provided it has OLE-DB provider from Microsoft to allow a link. E.g. Oracle has an OLE-DB provider for oracle that Microsoft provides to add it as linked server to SQL Server group.

Onam is an annual Hindu festival with origins in the state of Kerala in India. It falls in the Malayalam calendar month of Chingam, which in Gregorian calendar overlaps with August–September. In this festival, boat races are famous.
