Answer 1

This is as generic as I can make it without seeing the xml structure..

create or replace procedure put_stuff_into_table(source_xml_doc xmltype) AS

BEGIN

insert into table (a, b)
select *
from xmltable(''
              passing source_xml_doc
              columns a number        path 'ELEMENT_TAG_A',
                      b varchar2(100) path 'ELEMENT_TAG_B'
             );
END;
