I had a varchar2 variable which was storing some data and I could use the LENGTH function to get the length of the data. However, If I change it to CLOB. What is the best way to get the length?
v_clob_size:= (DBMS_LOB.getlength(v_clob)) / 1024 / 1024;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('CLOB Size ' || v_clob_size);
another one is
LENGTHB(TO_CHAR(SUBSTR(<clob-column>,1,4000))) But this seems restricted to first 4000 characters only.
I'm loading data from text file separated by TAB and i got the error below for some lines. Event the column is CLOB data type is there a limitation of the size of a CLOB data type. The error is:
Record 74: Rejected - Error on table _TEMP, column DEST.
Field in data file exceeds maximum length
I'm using SQL Loader and the database is oracle 11g r2 on linux Red hat 5. Here are the line causing the error from my data file and my table description for test:
create table TEMP
(
CODE VARCHAR2(100),
DESC VARCHAR2(500),
RATE FLOAT,
INCREASE VARCHAR2(20),
COUNTRY VARCHAR2(500),
DEST CLOB,
[code]........
i want to insert the text lenght containing more than 4000 characters, that column datatype is in CLOB Even though in CLOB we can able to store upto 4GB. Its not allowing me to insert more than 4000 characters at a time , but we can able to insert by splitting the data by 4000 and can append remaining characters But i am receving the text contains more than 4000, that how can i split the data upto 4000

I want to find the max length for a column in oracle, without querying each of the columns. Are these stats stored somewhere?
I have several fields defined as varchar2(4000). Not all of them use up 4000. Instead of querying each one ..max(column name) i want to explore if there is a way, i can find the max size stored somewhere? dba_tab_cols provides size of the field. is there any table that provides max used so far?

I have two tables File_Master and File_Detail
File_Master Primary key FILE_ID
File_Detail Primary key FILE_ID,LINE_ID
I have a CLOB column FILE_CONTENT in table File_Master. For every FILE_ID record in File_Master, several hundreds of lines are stored in the CLOB column.
I want to read this CLOB column 'File_Content' and and break every line (1000 Characters)
piecewise to populate columns of File_Detail.
Since there will be thousands of lines to process, what would be the best approach in writing PL/SQL code for better performance?
I have a requirement when I need to append and show the contents of a CLOB (rich text) column into the Open office report.
The use case is as below.
User(s) can enter the details into a CLOB column.
This data entered by each user need to be concatenated onto another CLOB column which will hold all the history of changes. Mainly i wanted to perform a concatenation of these two columns.
|
| User Entered | Stored |
| Data Stored in Clob Column 1| Data Stored in Clob Column 2 |
| v_clob_1 | v_clob_target |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|"Text 1" and a image |"Text 1" and a image |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any method to achieve this case. I had tried the following method to achieve this. But no success.
v_merge clob;
v_clob_target clob;
v_clob_1 clob;
1)
DBMS_LOB.APPEND(v_merge, v_clob_target);
DBMS_LOB.APPEND(v_merge, v_clob_1);

3)
v_merge:= v_clob_target || ''|| v_clob_1;
v_clob_target := v_merge;
I am encountering an error message while updating a xmltype column using dynamic sql statement. I am using dynamic sql here as the table is not placed in the same schema from where the plsql procedure is invoked. The schema name is passed to the procedure as an argument. I am using below pseudo code for this purpose.
Create procedure myproc(p_schemaname varchar2, p_id number)
is
p_clob clob;

This is throwing an error 'missing expression' at the line of 'exeute immediate'.
But it works if I run a static sql update by hard coding the schema name in the statement.

I have a CLOB column called XML_DATA that has (not-surprisingly) xml data in it that's housed inside a table called HMS_XML_TRANSFER. It has been giving me a headache because I'm unable at this point to use the xml field as a condition to get its TRANS_SEQUENCE number. The where clause doesn't work.
SELECT TRANS_SEQUENCE, XML_DATA
FROM HMS_XML_TRANSFER
WHERE EXTRACTVALUE(XMLTYPE (XML_DATA), '/INTERFACES/INTERFACE/BODY/IFI0057[ACTIVITY_CODE = "2201-020742"]');
The only test that I have been able to get working is the one below.
SELECT TRANS_SEQUENCE, EXTRACTVALUE(XMLTYPE (XML_DATA), '/INTERFACES/INTERFACE/BODY/IFI0057/ACTIVITY_CODE')
FROM HMS_XML_TRANSFER
WHERE TRANS_SEQUENCE = '8191602';
It will give me the ACTIVITY_CODE element so I know I can pull data from the XML but I can't do the reverse in the first example which is what I need because I don't know the TRANS_SEQUENCE number, I just know the ACTIVITY_CODE.
I have over 202 error messages logged in Teradata SQL from my many and varied attempts to get this to work using every example I could find online.
As an example this has not worked either...
WHERE EXISTNODE(XML_DATA, '/INTERFACES/INTERFACE/BODY/IFI0057[ACTIVITY_CODE = "2201-020742"]') = 1;
So the question... How do I properly form my SQL statement so I can use the XML column's ACTIVITY_CODE element to get the TRANS_SEQUENCE column field? Oh and I'd like to see both columns in the result.
Below is the version of Oracle I'm using, the description of the Table HMS_XML_TRANSFER, and a sample of the XML that comes from XML_DATA. I can't seems to get tabs working.

I have to change the datatype of a column from CLOB to varchar2, without changing the order of the columns. The table has no data.
I could find any other way other than dropping the CLOB columns and then adding new columns with varchar2 datatype. But this changes the order of the columns in the table.

My table looks like this:
SQL> desc clob_test
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
ID NUMBER(20)
C1 CLOB
I have a pipe delimited data file ID range 1-50000 and random characters with a length of 100-4000 bytes for the clob field.
My control file looks like this but I am guessing it is wrong:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'clob_test.dat'
INTO TABLE CLOB_TEST
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
ID INTEGER EXTERNAL NULLIF (ID=BLANKS)
, C1
)
Let me know what I need to do to my .ctl file in order to load this data?
