Has anyone had any luck and/or experience loading batch data via XML ? I am performing a proof of concept to see if I can parse and process a 17mb XML file. My structure is like that of the following :

<TRANSACTION_SET>
<TRANSACTIONS>
<TRANSACTION>
<TROW>
<EMPLOYEE_NUMBER/>
<TIME_ENTRY_DATE/>
<SUBMISSION_DATE/>
<COID/>
<UDN/>
<PAYROLL_ID/>
<LAST_UPDATED_BY/>
<LAST_UPDATE_DATE/>
<CREATED_BY/>
<CREATION_DATE/>
<TIME_ENTRY_WAGES/>
<VAC_TIME/>
<PERSONAL_DAY/>
<SICK_TIME/>
<SYMPATHY_PAY/>
<JURY_DUTY_PAY/>
<UNPAID_WC/>
<UNPAID_OTHER/>
<SHIFT_HRS/>
<SHIFT_3_HOURS/>
<WEEKEND_DIFFERENTIAL/>
<ON_CALL_HOURS/>
<ON_CALL_DAILY/>
<ON_CALL_HOLIDAY/>
<ON_CALL_FRIDAY/>
<ON_CALL_WEEKEND/>
<LUNCH_WORKED/>
<CA_DOUBLETIME/>
<HOLIDAY_PAY/>
<ON_STD/>
<STD_QUALIFYING_DONE/>
<STD_QUAL_NO_VAC/>
<STD_SUPP_NO_STIP/>
<STD_SUPP_NO_VAC/>
<ON_FMLA/>
<FMLA_INT_CONT/>
<FMLA_SAVE_VAC_WEEK/>
<FMLA_NO_STIP/>
<FMLA_NO_VAC/>
<STD_QUALIFYING_HOURS/>
<STD_FMLA_HOURS/>
<FMLA_ONLY_HOURS/>
<STD_100_HOURS/>
</TROW>
</TRANSACTION>
</TRANSACTIONS>
</TRANSACTION_SET>


My processing procedure is the following. I am getting hung up around STEP9 in my process. Not really hung up, I suspect, just very slow in processing. I wanted to parse the clob completly but for testing purposes only, process and insert into my custom table only 10 records.

PROCEDURE process_actotk_table (
p_clob IN CLOB

l_success VARCHAR2 (2000);
l_bfile BFILE;
l_clob CLOB;
