Oracle Parsing XML into table

greetings,

this ugly piece of code below is the best way I could find to parse XML into a table.

What we have below is just a select from a typed in value (copy from file, then paste in).

The issue I am having is the aliasing: Oracle keeps throwing the invalid identifier error and it looks right to me...

I could use the help of a second or third set of eyes to explain to me where I am making my mistakes...

Thanks

remove
                     ,t1.*
because it is never defined as (xml)table
and
remove one of the
                                        ,creationInfo XMLTYPE PATH '/creationInfo'
lines because that the same column definition

and  change event_parameters to  eventParameters to match the corresponding tag

After that i get an
ORA-00600: internal error code  but check if thats the same for you

well, it completes now, but I get no rows returned.

this is how I changed it (i removed what you asked and made some spelling corrections - was coding after 4:30 in the morning - never a good idea without coffee or redbull... )

It should return 1 row...what gives?  I have to admit that this is not my best topic, but it never hurts to keep on trying...
I assume there is a problem with the namespace q:
But I hit the internal error so i stopt searching. Now I know you can run it. I will try a stripped xml to get some result.
Change the first XMLTABLE  to
XMLTABLE (XMLNamespaces(DEFAULT 'http://quakeml.org/xmlns/bed/1.2', 'http://quakeml.org/xmlns/quakeml/1.2' as "q", 'http://quakeml.org/xmlns/quakeml/1.2' as "c"),
 'q:quakeml/eventParameters/event'

It adds  namespaces  and modifies the path from 'quake .. to 'q:quake ..
I get results if thats the only XMLTABLE but keep the error if adding more.

Try to see what you get
OK, so this seems meaningful..i am getting results, still can't get all the tag attributes though...one per tag seems to work but the preceeding rest are not displaying:

the results (partial) are in the attachment.  You can see that the blanks are the fields used to store attribute data...I'm still going to work on it though.  can you help long enough to see this through?

That did it.  I had tried  PATH 'event/catalog:datasource' before and that didn't work so I was doing some hunting around.

Your suggestion with PATH '@catalog:datasource' did the trick!

Now that I see it, it makes a weird kind of sense...
