so i am trying to insert data as below but its failing

SQL> insert into "T24"."FBNK_ACCOUNT_CLOSED_TEMP" select RECID,XMLRECORD 
from "T24"."FBNK_ACCOUNT_CLOSED" where rownum<10; 

insert into "T24"."FBNK_ACCOUNT_CLOSED_TEMP" select RECID,XMLRECORD from 
"T24"."FBNK_ACCOUNT_CLOSED" where rownum<10 
* 
ERROR at line 1: 
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got BLOB

Document i am following is oracle document ( Doc ID 1405457.1 )

https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?_afrLoop=309572821111227&parent=SrDetailText&sourceId=3-19827644581&id=1405457.1&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=1qwexs4zw_510

below are the few lines from the oracle documents

" Use insert select as syntax to move the data from scott.tb blob into scott.po_bin XMLType table stored as Binary XML

SQL> insert into po_bin select xmltype(bc, 873) from scott.tb;

1 row created.

SQL> select * from po_bin;

insert into "T24"."FBNK_ACCOUNT_CLOSED_TEMP" select recid, 
xmltype(xmlrecord, 873) from "T24"."FBNK_ACCOUNT_CLOSED" where rownum<1000 
*

Answer 1

The Reason for this Failure is the table contains some invalid XML data. so while inserting the data into XML binary column verification fails for some rows . so this cant be done on this table. but my steps are correct as per the oracle document.
