Extra whitespace in XML file read from Oracle database - why? -

-

i experimenting python , oracle xml db. have table xmltype column , id column in oracle 11g database. storage model xml column object relational. need whole xml file, , longer 4000 characters, use query clob:

select t.representation.getclobval() myxmldocs t  id=:documentid

when run query output includes whitespace, newlines , tabs between xml elements not there in xml docs inserted. effect of kind of formatting, output looks this:

<a>\n \t<b></b>\n \t\t<c>some text</c>\n \t\t<c>some more text</c>\n \t<b></b>\n ...

and on. quite pretty , readable, why getting it? messes other libraries using choke on whitespaces.

if remove getclobval() python client not clob object , don't know it.

this appears consistent; problem using sqlplus command line client, , creating other tables using different xml schemas, , querying them. in previous version of prototype had xmltype column use clob storage model , didn't have problem.

how should rewrite query clob xml file without formatting?

update: requested in comments, output running query select dump(t.representation) myxmldocs t id=:documentid command line client (replacing of course :documentid actual, existing id database):

dump(t.representation) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- typ=58 len=218: 32,156,148,1,0,0,0,0,80,193,223,20,0,0,0,0,216,15,47,21,0,0,0,0, 80,44,55,21,0,0,0,0,0,202,154,59,160,15,0,0,160,15,0,0,1,0,4,0,220,190,195,71,1, 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,174,33,65,0,15,0,72,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,49,0 ,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 ,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

in 11g can use xmlserialize (in fact should not use getclobval anymore. it's not recommended performance reasons)

 sql> select t.test.getclobval() testxml t id = 1;  t.test.getclobval() -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <a>   <b>     <c>foo</c>     <c>foo2</c>   </b> </a>   sql> select xmlserialize(document t.test clob no indent) testxml t id = 1;  xmlserialize(documentt.testasclobnoindent) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <a><b><c>foo</c><c>foo2</c></b></a>

routes - Laravel 4 Wildcard Routing to Different Controllers -

-
realizing i'm going take beating this, have several questions "best practices" when constructing laravel route. do laravel routes run "first come first serve" top bottom? if route found, pass control controller (or perform action) , terminate? i have part of application acts url shortner. so, route looks this: route::get('/{id}', array('as' => 'home.text', 'uses' => 'homecontroller@text'), function($id){ //make sure id exists before pushing controller. if (storage::where('shortcode','=', $id)->count() > 0) { // route found } }); how can improved? one, i'm not sure how pass processing on controller conditionally.. sort of controller::make() ..? 3) there better way in laravel check if record exists versus doing mode::where('column','=','value')->count() 4) have legacy urls http://url.com/?...
