BLOB/CLOB field issue

Hi All,
We have a requirement where there are BLOB/CLOB fields in the database containing word documents/gifs/
pdf files which need to pulled in the report as attachments. The attachments then need to be opened using the
respective applications like MS word etc.
Please let me know if this is feasible and if Oracle BI EE supports BLOB/CLOB data types. Are there any projects
which have implemented similar requirements?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Andy

This can be done, but might need lot of work. Have you taken a look at this, especially first one.

Clob field issue

Hi ,
When i fetching the data from CLOB filed by using dbms_lob.substr, its throwing an error like Character string buffer too small
This is my sql select dbms_lob.substr(A.stagevar) FROM TB_JOBCOMP_DBS41 A WHERE A.jobname='AcctTransCurrentSequence'
*AND A.stagevar NOT LIKE '%Nil%' AND dbms_lob.substr(A.stagevar) <> '[ No Stage Variables ]'*
Can any one help me to solve this issue

You are pulling back too many characters from the CLOB and overflowing the string buffer.
I noticed that you didn't specify a limit in dbms_lob.substr. I didn't think you could even do that. Try using this code instead: dbms_lob.substr(A.stagevar,4000). (It looks like you'll have to replace this twice in your query.)
FYI, string length limits are 4000 in SQL and 32767 in PL/SQL.

ORA-22275 :invalid LOB locator specified error while loading BLOBs/CLOBS.

Hello All,
I am trying to load BLOB/CLOB data from a client oracle DB to the oracle db on our side,we are using ODI version 10.1.3.5.6,which reportedly has the issue of loading BLOB/CLOBS solved.I am using
The extraction fails in the loading stage when inserting data into the C$ table with the following error.
"22275:99999 :java.sql.BatchUpdateException:ORA-22275:Invalid LOB locator specified".
Kindly let me know how I can resolve this issue as the requirement to load this data is very urgent.
Thanks,
John

One alternate way can be done out of ODI as ODI is still not able to resolve this issue. You can trim these fields (CLOB/BLOB) and push this data as separate fields into ODI and at the reporting end you can again concatenate them.
May be this may solve your problem ....it solved mine.

Is it possible to write a result of query to a CLOB field in another table

Hi all,
I have a table with 50 columns which will ideally have around 250,000 rows. I want to select all the rows from this table and insert the result in to another
table's CLOB or BLOB column. ( I think CLOB is preferred for strings !!)
f.i
Table1 : SELECT ID, COL1||','||COL2||','||COL3||','||COL4||','||COL5 FROM TF_TEMPREP
ORDER BY COL1
will have the output
A001, 1,ABN LAYOUT,01-APR-11,30-APR-11,REMARK1
A001, 2,CTS ,01-APR-11,10-APR-11,REMARK2
A001, 3,BTS,01-APR-11,20-APR-11,REMARK3
A001, 4,CWWS,01-JAN-11,31-JAN-11,REMARK4
A001, 5,ZYNC,01-MAR-11,31-MAR-11,REMARK5
I would like to store these rows into another table (TF_TEMPREP_OUTPUT) CLOB/BLOB column ,
so the table TF_TEMPREP_OUTPUT will have one row with all the rows from TF_TEMPREP in the CLOB/BLOB column.
TF_TEMPREP_OUTPUT will have column OUTPUTID (VARCHAR2) , OUTPUTDATA (CLOB DATATYPE)
Will this be possible !!.
Thanks in advance

Hi all
Thanks for your reply,
The reason we would like to store the data in a CLOB file is that,
Currently we are fetching the data from the table TF_TEMPREP and the recordset is passed into a function and writing the ouput to a CSV file in the local drive using the VB (front end application). once the process is completed, the temporary table will be deleted. this is used only for printing purpose.
we are using the VB function
Public Function RecordsetToCSV(rsData As ADODB.Recordset, pFileSeparator As String, Optional ShowColumnNames As Boolean = True, Optional NULLStr As String = "") As String
Dim k As Long
Dim RetStr As String
On Error GoTo Errh
If ShowColumnNames Then
For k = 0 To rsData.Fields.Count - 1
RetStr = RetStr & pFileSeparator & """" & rsData.Fields(k).Name & """"
Next k
RetStr = Mid(RetStr, 2) & vbNewLine
End If
rsData.MoveFirst
RetStr = RetStr & """" & rsData.GetString(adClipString, -1, """" & pFileSeparator & """", """" & vbNewLine & """", NULLStr)
RetStr = Left(RetStr, Len(RetStr) - 3)
RecordsetToCSV = RetStr
Exit Function
Errh:
RecordsetToCSV = ""
Exit Function
End Function
But in this operation, as the number of records is more the system often throws out with the message "Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.". The Local HD is having around 50GB of free space. when we have less number of records (say around 30-40K), the above process works perfectly.
Storing the File in the database server will be an issue, as the database server will be in a different location and it will not be possible/advisable to access the
local directory thru mapped directory in the database server.
our plan was if the data is available in a clob field, then we could try to read the clob and write to a file in the local directory thru our VB application itself. Not sure, will this also gives a same error as it was giving when reading from the table?.
Hope I have clarified what we are aiming at.

Murali

Will HANA database table to insert a CLOB field , how to operate ?

Will HANA database table to insert a CLOB field , how to operate ?
Prior to this , I also see the related documentation : http://scn.sap.com/thread/3242930,
So I used the link : http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/jdbc/basics/blob.html elaborated way to perform the operation to insert CLOB
But practice tells me does not work, will be reported abnormal："com.sap.db.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc40.SQLFeatureNotSupportedException: Method createClob() of ConnectionSapDB is not supported.".
I want to know is , HANA how to insert CLOB field ? In this first say thank you !

This is a problem with the driver. It is a known bug/issue.
You have to use the dbms_lob.write procedure and append data to the clob inside a loop.
i.e. do something like (pseudo-code)
while(file.not_end)
char[] buffer= file.read(start_pos,bytes_read);
dmbs_lob.write(buffer);
start_pos = start_pos+ bytes_read;
null

Multiple clob fields in a single table

Are there any known performance issues associated with having 4 CLOB fields in a single table... the table as such will be relatively small.. like 100 MB... with most rows being << 50k.

Not really. If you need 4 CLOB columns and it makes sense to have alll the columns in a single table, go for it.

Urgent: How to set a default value to CLOB field?

Hi All,
As per the requirements we have to populate the CLOB field in a template with default value with some template similar to a letter issued to clients in bank.
So, every time when I insert a record in that table this CLOB field should have that letter template populated by default and user will modify that if required from GUI.
How can I populate that CLOB field by default?
Thanks!

Something like this?

Make a clob field as an editable column in a report

Hello,
I have a CLOB field column in my report and want to make this as an editable item. Can anyone please tell me what would be the best approach to deal with these kind of issue.

There is no "out of the box" solution for this. You'd have to do a bit of work. However, before we go down that road, I'm curious as to why you'd want to put a password field in a tabular form.
It's a multi row insert/update/delete (tabular) form, and one of the columns represents a password.
One row represents "an application". The column represents the application password.
I actually have two of them (columns) + a process that verifies that the same value was entered in both.
I'm suprised that this is not out-of-the box possible...
It would be a very easy to just support the 'password field' type in the dropdown list that I have now used to make it a simple text field. No?
Appreciate any assistance...

Using Oracle Text with CLOB field containing multiple languages

I'm using Oracle 10g (NLS_CHARACTERSET is set to. AL32UTF8) and have a table with a CLOB field which is storing text written in either English and/or Simplified Chinese.
The following index has been created on this field:
CREATE INDEX text_index
ON text_table(text_field)
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT
PARAMETERS('FILTER CTXSYS.INSO_FILTER');
I'm having issues in returning text which matches the Chinese text using the CONTAINS operator. For some reason the following query is returning rows which do not contain any Chinese text:
SELECT *
FROM text_table
WHERE contains(text_field,'炫%') > 1;
A newsgroup user advised me to produce an explain plan using ctx_query.explain.
I created 2 explain plans, one which was searching the index for 'A%' and the other searching for the Simplified Chinese character '炫%'. The results for the first test were as expected whereby the values contained within the OBJECT_NAME field all began with the letter 'A'.
The second test however produced somewhat unexpected results. The OBJECT_NAME field this time contained various words, both English and Simplified Chinese. I could be wrong but it appeared to store every individual word in the CLOB field. Both tests produced different EQUIVALENCE rows, the first test was:
OPTIONS = Null
OBJECT_NAME = A%
Whereas the second test produced:
OPTIONS = (?)
OBJECT_NAME = %
Am I right in thinking the Simplified Chinese character is for some reason being converted to a '?' character?
Any help on this will be much appreciated.

As you're not specifying a lexer to use, it will use the BASIC_LEXER, designed for space-separated European-type languages. This won't work effectively with Chinese.
If you know which documents are Chinese and which are English, you can write this into a LANGUAGE column and use the MULTI_LEXER - this will allow you to specify BASIC_LEXER for the English texts, and CHINESE_LEXER or CHINESE_VGRAM_LEXER for the Chinese texts.
If you don't know the language, you must use either WORLD_LEXER (10g) or AUTO_LEXER (11g). These lexers will automatically determine the language of the documents and index them appropriately. In general. MULTI_LEXER will be faster and more accurate than either of the automatic alternatives.
When querying for Chinese characters you need to be very careful with your NLS_LANG settings. You need to make sure that the character set defined in NLS_LANG is the same as the character set from which you've pasted (or typed) the chinese characters.
The "?" in output usually just means "I don't know how to translate this character into your output character set". Sometimes it may appear as a reversed question mark.

Loading multiple text files from a folder into oracle clob field

I would like to load about 300 word documents into a oracle clob field with each document inserted as a separate record.
I'm not quite sure how to go about doing this. Is there a utility in oracle that would do this?
I've looked at sql loader and utl_file but both require the name of the file. Is there a way I can do this?
If its not possible using just oracle, does anyone know how I can do this in combination with perl?
Many Thanks
Sam

I have no experience with this, but pl see if MOS Doc 73787.1 (How to Read A Binary File into BLOB Using PL/SQL) can help.
Essentially, you will have to write code to loop thru all 300 files to load them into the database

Parsing xml in clob field remove non utf-8 characters

hi all,
i have an issue where a stored procedure runs during a nightly process and parses xml contained in a clob field. There are some records that contain non-utf8(they paste characters from word)characters and therefore the parse fails when using performing an xquery select against the clob field as xmltype. I was wondering if anyone knew of a handy way to handle such a situation? I have looked around a bit and not found anything that seemed tailored to my situation, and I would like something a bit more generic than doing a replace on individual characters that i have found causing issues...thx in advance! -- jp

Hi,
Like BluShadow I'm curious to see a test case...
Depending on the way it's been created, the encoding declared in the XML prolog doesn't necessarily reflects the actual encoding of the content.
What's your database character set, and version?
Please also post the error message you get (LPX-00200 probably?).

Hi Pete,
The problem is with using Oracle's CLOB and BLOB implementation. I haven't even started using BLOB and CLOB. I want to collect data of BLOB and CLOB types from oracle and store it in XML file and after that if required, collect the same data from xml file and store it back to oracle table. I can do these things for all the rest datatypes but BLOB and CLOB. How to proceed?
Thanks -

ASP & Clob fields in the Oracle Database 8i

Hi All,
This is the first time I am posting a question. We are having a problem interfacing ASP pages with Clob fields int he Oracle Database.
We are trying to display clob fields in an oracle database from ASP PAge. The ASP Page does a select to a clob field from a table. But we lose the formatting od the data inside the clob field when we display it out using ASP. We display it as a
single stream of data. But when we display the clob using SQLPLUS we do see the formatted data.
How can we solve this issue or circumvent it ?
We are not looking to parse through the clob field in ASP, rather we already have a stored procedure that parses the data for us. The parsed data is then stored in a clob field already formatted the way we need it. The problem occurs when the ASP
page reads the clob field. The ASP page reads it as one continuos string instead of the formatted data that exists in the clob field.
I imported the data from Oracle to Access in order to view the raw data. The data is shown formatted properly in Access, so we know our stored procedure is doing what it supposed to do. As far as getting the data to display. The only way to retrieve (as far as I know) a clob field using ASP is by a built in function called GetChunk(). Is there a better method of displaying the formatted data aside from parsing on the client side, using ASP?
Let me know if anyone has a solution to this problem.
Thanks for your help and time. Sanjiv.

Extracting xmldata from clob field in oracle

I have an xml document stored in xmltype (clob)field in oracle
Below is the xml data inside the xml ( I have kind of 300 elements similar to this inside the xml)
<ns1:E-I12_IS_13 ObjID="I12" ObjType="e">5437090</ns1:E-I12_IS_13>
<ns1:E-I13_IS_14 ObjID="I13" ObjType="e">5</ns1:E-I13_IS_14>
<ns1:E-I14_IS_15 ObjID="I14" ObjType="e">9</ns1:E-I14_IS_15>
The requirement is to get all the elements from the xmldata and compare against the 15-16 oracle tables ( here xml is converted and stored in these tables by a tibco process)
select dbms_lob.instr(clobcolumnname,'E-I13_IS_14') from tablename where ( given condition to extract specific transaction)
the above statement gives me position of the string
select dbms_lob.substr(clobcolumnname,6( length of element value),870(position from where the value starts)) from tablename where condition
the abv statement gives me the element value
but I want to extract the value for any element by giving the element name ( if u see any value comes after objtype="e" between > and < tags)
can anyone on this forum tell me to extract the element value just by giving element name ( since I have to do the same for n number of elements - how to find position of > and < tags??)

Hi Odie,
Good afternoon. I am not getting any help to solve my xmltable issues.

10g BLOB/CLOB can we store more than 4k in SQL

Dear Friends
I know we had issues with BLOB and CLOB storing more than 4k in Oracle 8i using SQL. Is it the same in 10g BLOB/CLOB can we store more than 4k in SQL?
Please help me with some documentationw which explains these aspects with CLOB and BLOB in 10g
Thanks
Farouk

Thanks for your help,
I understand we can store blobs more than 4k in 10g using DBMB_LOG but there is a constraint in 8i that using SQL u can store directly only 4k and using a bind variable in PL/SQL we can store upto 32K. Is that the same in 10g or can we store directly using sql more than 4k?
Thanks
Farouk
