XSR_DTD procedure

Authorization

rschema

An input and output argument of type VARCHAR (128) that specifies the SQL schema for the DTD. The SQL schema is one part of the SQL identifier used to identify this DTD in the XSR. (The other part of the SQL identifier is supplied by the name argument.) This argument can have a null value, which indicates that the default SQL schema, as defined in the CURRENT SCHEMA special register, is used. Rules for valid characters and delimiters that apply to any SQL identifier also apply to this argument. Relational schemas that begin with the string 'SYS' must not be used for this value. XSR objects will not experience name collisions with database objects that exist outside of the XSR, because XSR objects occur in a different namespace than objects outside of the XML schema repository.

name

An input and output argument of type VARCHAR (128) that specifies the name of the DTD. The complete SQL identifier for the DTD is rschema.name and should be unique among all objects in the XSR. This argument accepts a null value. When a null value is provided for this argument, a unique value is generated and stored within the XSR. Rules for valid characters and delimiters that apply to any SQL identifier also apply to this argument.

systemid

An input parameter of type VARCHAR (1000) that specifies the system identifier of the DTD. The system ID of the DTD should match the uniform resource identifier of the DTD in the DOCTYPE declaration of the XML instance document or in an ENTITY declaration (as prefixed by the SYSTEM keyword, if used). This argument cannot have a null value. The system ID can be specified together with a public ID.

publicid

An input parameter of type VARCHAR (1000) that specifies the public identifier of the DTD. The public ID of a DTD should match the uniform resource identifier of the DTD in the DOCTYPE declaration of the XML instance document or in an ENTITY declaration (as prefixed by the PUBLIC keyword, if used). This argument accepts a null value and should be used only if also specified in the DOCTYPE declaration of the XML instance document or in an ENTITY declaration.

content

An input parameter of type BLOB (30M) that contains the content of the DTD document. This argument cannot have a null value.

Example

Register the DTD identified by the system ID http://www.test.com/person.dtd and public ID http://www.test.com/person:

       
CALL SYSPROC.XSR_DTD ( 'MYDEPT' , 
   'PERSONDTD' ,
   'http://www.test.com/person.dtd' ,
   'http://www.test.com/person',
   :content_host_variable 
   )
