Column with more than 4000 characters

Hi,
Version: 10.2.0.4.0
I have a requirement to display more than 4000 characters (clob, long data type) through sql.
Though this can be achieved through pl/sql, I am not able to get the output in sql statements. Is it possible to get this done through sql?
I can use intermediate pl/sql processing if needed.
Thanks for your help.

Owa_text.vc_arr: can't handle the string with more than 4000 characters?

In the Oracel Web Application Server 4.0 documment, it says
about owa_text.vc_arr :Type vc_arr is table of varchar2(32767)
index by binary_integer.
I amusing PL_SQL with Oracle8i and OWA4.0 web server.I want to
use owa_text.vc_arr to pass the multple line texts in my form.
If the text length is less than 4000 characters, everything works
fine.However when the texts are longer than 4000 characters but
less than the max length 32767 characters, I got this error
message:
OWS-05101: Execution failed due to Oracle error 2005
ORA-02005: implicit (-1) length not valid for this bind or define
datatype.
Owa_text.vc_arr is supposed to handle the string with more
than 4000 characters, is it true? Could anyone tell me why? Any
help will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks very much.

Here is the pl_sql procedure to create my form:
PROCEDURE myform

BEGIN
htp.p('

<input type=hidden name=tdescription value="X">
Input1: <textarea name=tdescription rows=50 cols=70

Input2: <textarea name=tdescription rows=50 cols=70
WRAP=physical></textarea>
<input type=submit name=WSave value="Save">
</form>
END;
/***** here is the pl_sql procedure which I use to save the
form***/
procedure saveform3(tdescription in owa_text.vc_arr,
WSave in varchar2 default 'No')
is
len pls_integer;
begin
for i in 2..tdescription.count loop
len := length(tdescription(i));
htp.p(len);
htp.p(tdescription(i));
end loop;
end;

Helena, I think you might get a better response either from the SQL-PL/SQL forum, or perhaps the Portal Applications forum - both of these tend to have folks very familiar with PL/SQL and the OWA packages.
This forum is on Web services based on SOAP, WSDL and UDDI. These can be PL/SQL based but typically don't use the mod_psql or OWA web solution.
As a pointer, I suspect you may already be familiar with, but just in case, you can always take a look at chapter 3 of the OAS documentation, "Developer's Guide: PL/SQL and ODBC Applications" where they go through a number of examples using parameters. See:
http://technet.oracle.com/doc/appsrvr4082/guides/plsql.pdf
Hope this or folks from the other list can help.

Why can't owa_text.vc_arr handle the string with more than 4000 characters?

I am using PL_SQL with Oracle8i and OAS 4.0 web server.I want to
use owa_text.vc_arr to pass the inputs in serval text areas in the form on a web application.
If the input string length is less than 4000 characters, everything works fine.However when the strings are longer than 4000 characters but less than the max length 32767 characters, I got this error message:
OWS-05101: Execution failed due to Oracle error 2005
ORA-02005: implicit (-1) length not valid for this bind or define datatype.
In the Oracle Application Server 4.0 documment, it says
about owa_text.vc_arr :Type vc_arr is table of varchar2(32767)
index by binary_integer. It means that owa_text.vc_arr can handle multiple strings and each string can have up to 32767 single byte characters, is it right?
Owa_text.vc_arr is supposed to handle the string with more
than 4000 characters, is it true? Could anyone tell me why? Any
help will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks very much.

The maximum size of a VARCHAR2 field in Oracle 8i is 4000 bytes.
you'll ned to use a LOB type (or LONG if you prefer the old way)

Excel 2007 to Sql server table. Column with more than 255 characters.

Hi there,
I am facing a problem while converting data from Excel 2007 to SQL server 2005 table. I am using BIDS 2005.I have an excel file where one particular column has more than 255 characters. I use OLEDB connection for excel file as there is no driver for Excel
2007 in BIDS2005. I am using Microsoft Office 12.0 Access Database Engine OLE DB Provider for Excel file.
Next, I changed advanced properties for the column to DT_NTEXT. But when I am getting errors on execution. They are:
[OLE DB Source [1949]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E21.
[OLE DB Source [1949]] Error: Failed to retrieve long data for column "action".
[OLE DB Source [1949]] Error: There was an error with output column "action" (2046) on output "OLE DB Source Output" (1959). The column status returned was: "DBSTATUS_UNAVAILABLE".
[OLE DB Source [1949]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR. The "output column "action" (2046)" failed because error code 0xC0209071 occurred, and the error row disposition on "output column "action"
(2046)" specifies failure on error. An error occurred on the specified object of the specified component. There may be error messages posted before this with more information about the failure.
Please advise on how can I deal with columns having more than 255 characters in Excel file.
Thanks!

Here is what your connection string should look like for excel source
Provider
=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=c:\temp\test.xls;Extended
Properties="EXCEL 8.0;HDR=YES";

SQL Loader fails to process string columns with more than 255 characters

Hi all,
I am using LKM file to sqlldr(oracle) to load data from flat file to oracle. I am aware of the fact that if you don't specify length of the input character data, sqlldr uses default of 255 characters. But, in my source datastore I have specified the column length to be 1000, but sqlldr still fails to process records with more that 255 characters.
Any idea how to change this behavior of sqlldr?
Appreciate your response.
Akshata

You can change the step "Generate CTL File"
and replace the section:
          } else {
          // The source column is a STRING => no options to add
               format = "";
          };with
          } else {
          // The source column is a STRING => add char(length) for length greater than 255
               taille = new Integer(colPrecision).intValue();
               if (taille > 254)
               format = "CHAR("+colPrecision+")";
               else
               format ="";
          };

Cannot insert more than 4000 characters using PL/SQL SP to LONG columns

I have created a stored procedure which will insert more than 4000 characters in a table having long column.
The stored procedure body is as follows :
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE INSERTTOTEST(P_ZUNIQUEID IN VARCHAR2,P_LONGVAL IN LONG)
AS

insert into CLOBVALUESHOW(zuniqueid, longval) VALUES (p_zuniqueid, p_longval) ;

You don't have a 'long string'. You have a lot of single-quoted strings combined with some unquoted strings.
There are embedded singel quotes in what you call 'this long string'.
Try using a different string delimiter so that the quotes do not cause a problem.
You can use an exclamation point ('!') since there is none in the text you provided.
Here is an example of what will not work because there is one embedded single quote
'name LIKE '%DBMS_%%'This is the same value using exclamation as the delimiter - this works because there is no exclamation in the string
q'!name LIKE '%DBMS_%%'!'1. q must be the first character
2. ' (single quote) must be the next character
3. ! (or any delimiter you choose) is the next character
4. abcdefg. . . -- this is your string that can include single quotes but not an exclamation point
5. ! is the next to last character - must be the same delimiter used as the third character
6. ' (single quote) is the last character
See the 'Text Literals' section of the SQL Reference for more examples
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/sql_elements003.htm
Note that this one will not work because the string includes the percent
This is the same value using exclamation as the delimiter - this works because there is no exclamation in the string
q'%name LIKE '%DBMS_%%'%'

Insert more than 4000 characters using sql plus

I have a SQL script that creates a database. The problem is that some of the fields are longer than 4000 characters in the INSERT statement and Oracle doesn't seem to like it.
The field is a clob and works fine in the application (i.e. I can insert more than 4000 characters using the app) - how do I achieve this in a SQL script?
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers,
Steve

Hi,
This pl/sql block works absolutely fine in SQL*Plus inserting > 4000 characters into clob column:
declare
l_str varchar2(8000);
l_str1 varchar2(2400) := 'first part of the verly long string...';
l_str2 varchar2(2400) := 'second part of the verly long string...';
begin
l_str := l_str1 || l_str2;
insert into tmpl values (l_str);
end;
So, you'll have to replace inserts with pl/sql blocks in your script.
Tested in Oracle 8.1.7.0.0

Dataype for more than 4000 characters

Hello,
I ve got an Oracle 9i Database with an Table which has an Collumn defined as varchar2.
Now I found, that's still not enough for my application.
I tried to delete the Table and switch the Data Type to long. Other than expected I'm still not able to insert more than 4000 characters.
Any ideas?
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
You can look at the sample based on LOB Datatype at this location.
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/files/advanced/advanced.htm
There is a method called 'loadSamples' in the source file of this sample(http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/files/advanced/LOBSample/LOBSample.java.html)
This is the way you insert data into a BLOB or CLOB.
You can't directly insert data > 4000 characters in a BLOB or CLOB. you need to first create an empty BLOB or CLOB and then insert data into it.

ALV Cell with more than 255 characters.

Hello Guru's,
I need to display a longtext in ALV with other details. I am using READ_TEXT to get the Longtext and appending it to Internal table field, which i have defined as a string. I have debugged the code and it is containing around 450 characters. But, when i am trying to display using "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY" it is only displaying 255 characters.
Please suggest a solution.
Thanks,
Sudhir.

Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length.
In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output.
The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.
The commonly used ALV functions used for this purpose are;
1. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET
2. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4
3. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_EXISTENCE
4. REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET
5. REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE
6. REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
7. REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
8. REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
9. REUSE_ALV_POPUP_TO_SELECT

Displaying more than 4000 characters

Hi
I have a report which would display a CLOB field having text of length around 32000 characters.
I tried to use DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR(<field_name>,32000,1) on the query so that it shows the text at least till 32000 characters on the report but it keeps returning an error ORA-06502 PL/SQL: numeric or value error string - character string buffer too small whenever it is more than 4000 characters in that particular field.
Can anyone pls suggest any solution ASAP?
Thanks

Create a logical column with more than one data source

I'm having a problem to create a logical column with more than one data source in Siebel 7.8.
What I want to do is the union of 2 physical tables in one logical table.
For example, I have a "local_clients" table and a "abroad_clients" table. What I want is to have a logical table "clients" with the client data from the 2 tables.
What I've tried is dragging the datasources I need onto the logical column.
However this isn't working because it only retrieves the data from the first data source.

Hi!
I think it is not possible to do this just by dragging the columns to the logical table. A logical table can have more than one source, but I think each column must have just one direct source column.
I'm not sure, but maybe you should do the UNION SQL to get the data of the two tables. In the physical layer, when you create a new physical table, it's possible to set the "table type" as a "SELECT". I didn't try that, but it seems that it's possible to have the union table in the physical layer.
Bye.

Sending an email with more than 75 characters

Please can you tell me, how i can send an email with more than 75 characters from a workflow. We need to send a link which has more than 130 characters.

Hi Benjamin,
You have a couple of options:
Put your link into a container element and put that into your text instead of hardcoding it.
Instead of the sendmail step, create a task based on SELFITEM.SENDTASKDESCRIPTION. This is exacly the same as the mail step minus the 'different' step editor in the builder. There you can create the text using the sapscript editor and join lines up.
Have a look around OSS, there are some notes on this issue.
Cheers

PL/SQL process returning message with more than 4000 chars

In our apex application we are using a pl/sql process returning a message.
This message should be shown to the user.
Our problem is now, that the application items in APEX seem to be limited to 4000 chars and the message can be longer.

no an item like P0_TEST on page 0 / global page also does not help.
But the error is not the application item / page item it's the problem that the "Process Success Message" can't handle more than 4000 chars.
I tried to paste a string into the process success message, but the error "Error processing row. ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column" occured even when i filled the textarea and saved the process.
So there's no problem with the application item or page item.
