Converting Varchar into Clob in Oracle 8i

Hi All,
Kindly tell me how can we convert a varchar variable into a Clob in Oracle 8i inside a stored procedure. I searched alot on the net, we have a To_Clob function available from 9i but doesn't exist in 8i. There was also talk about using dbms_lob, but i dont know how to use that to convert it.
Kindly provide me with the details of how to do this as I am just starting out with Oracle.
Thanks in Advance,
Sajid.

Hi,
You can use the dbms_lob.to_clob() function(In oracle8i).
In oracle 9i it is not required.
Thanks & Regards

Dear frank,
Thanks for your support,.
It's working fine for static cases.If the first column is dynamic then how come i will resolve it.
Example:
Create table mytab (ID_C Varchar2(15),Value_N Number);
Records Population into MyTab table is dynamic.
Insert into mytab values('HO',5000);
Insert Into mytab values('PG1',2400);
Insert Into mytab values('PG2',3000);
Insert Into mytab values('PG3',800);
Commit;
SQL> Select * From MyTab;
IDC_ ValueN_
HO 5000
PG1 2400
PG2 3000
PG3 800
Then My expected result will be as follows
HO PG1 PG2 PG3
5000 2400 3000 800
Thanks and Regards,

The same thing is working in the Oracle 9i but not in the Oracle 10G.
Can Anybody plz help me in this?

export ORACLE_SID=<SID>
rman target /cmdfile="C:\ORACLE~2\BACKUP\backup.ora"
it will connect to the default SID, there's no such thing as a default SID, what do you mean?
But what if there are more that one SID available & I
want to connect to SID other than the default SID.just specify the desired SID prior starting rman.
more over the same string is working with 9i but not
with 10G.maybe due to a bug?
to summarize, you have two options it you would like to start up the instance:
either you specify the SID prior starting rman and use os authentication
or
you register the instance statically and use oracle authentication.

Select LONG column into CLOB variable

Hi all,
I am trying retrieve the data present in a LONG column into a CLOB variable.
However I am getting an error, pls let me know how I can resolve it.
DECLARE
v_text CLOB;
BEGIN
SELECT TO_LOB(trigger_body)
INTO v_text
FROM
user_triggers
WHERE
ROWNUM <= 1;
END;
ERROR at line 8:
ORA-06550: line 8, column 20:
PL/SQL: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got LONG
ORA-06550: line 8, column 5:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
Let me know if there is an alternate to this. I would like to get the data present in the LONG column into a variable.
The reason why I am not retrieving the LONG column into LONG variable is stated below (from Oracle Website):
You can insert any LONG value into a LONG database column because the maximum width of a LONG column is 2**31 bytes.
However, you cannot retrieve a value longer than 32760 bytes from a LONG column into a LONG variable.
Thanks and Regards,
Somu

There are couple of things I did (listed in order):
1) Create Global Temporary Table containing a CLOB column
2) Select LONG column and convert to CLOB by using TO_LOB and insert into Global Temporary Table containing a CLOB column
2) Select from this Global Temporary Table (which already contains data in CLOB) and assign it to a CLOB variable.
This is done because you can not directly use TO_LOB in a select statement to assign the value to a CLOB variable.
Stated below is an example:
-- Create Temporary Table
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE glb_tmp_table_lob(
time TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE,
text CLOB
ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS;
-- PL/SQL Block to Execute
DECLARE
v_clob CLOB;
BEGIN
-- Insert into Temporary Table by converting LONG into CLOB
INSERT INTO glb_tmp_table_lob (
time ,
text
SELECT
sysdate ,
TO_LOB(dv.text)
FROM
dba_views dv
WHERE
ROWNUM <= 1
-- Select from the Temporary table into the variable
SELECT
gt.text
INTO
v_clob
FROM
glb_tmp_table_lob gt;
COMMIT;
-- Now you can use the CLOB variable as per your needs.
END;

Convert data into Date Format imported from MS SQL Server.

I have imported Data from MS SQL Server. The "Date Column" received in number format like 41017.6361109954. How can i convert it into Date in Oracle SQL.

Converting varchar to datetime 103

Hi Guys
Im making a select query where in a colomn the date is yyyy-mm-dd, i need dd-mm-yyyy (103). A simple convert query does not work because the colomn is not set as a datetime but as a varchar. Its not possible to change the tables at the source.
The colomn name is DATE_IN
I think the following post could be helpfull but i dont know how to fix the given statements into the select query
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1509977/convert-varchar-into-datetime-in-sql-server

> in a colomn the date is yyyy-mm-dd, i need dd-mm-yyyy (103)
As suggested above, this is string date format to string date format conversion, purely string operations.
If you convert to DATE / DATETIME first (universal internal binary representation), then it may fail if invalid date.
You can use the ISDATE or TRY_CONVERT functions to check if the string date is valid.

Post the 4 digit Oracle version.
Did you read the Doc for DBMS_LOB.CONVERTTOCLOB? - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28419/d_lob.htm
The function can convert data from one character set to another. If the source data uses a different character set than the target you need to provide the character set id of the source data.
The blob_csid parameter is where you would provide the value for the source character set.
If the source and target use the same character set then just pass zero. Your code is passing a one.
>
General Notes
You must specify the character set of the source data in the blob_csid parameter. You can pass a zero value for blob_csid. When you do so, the database assumes that the BLOB contains character data in the same character set as the destination CLOB.
>
Same for 'lang_context' - your code is using 1; just use 0. It is an IN OUT
>
lang_context
(IN) Language context, such as shift status, for the current conversion.
(OUT) The language context at the time when the current conversion is done.
This information is returned so you can use it for subsequent conversions without losing or misinterpreting any source data. For the very first conversion, or if do not care, use the default value of zero.

How to read/write .CSV file into CLOB column in a table of Oracle 10g

I have a requirement which is nothing but a table has two column
create table emp_data (empid number, report clob)
Here REPORT column is CLOB data type which used to load the data from the .csv file.
The requirement here is
1) How to load data from .CSV file into CLOB column along with empid using DBMS_lob utility
2) How to read report columns which should return all the columns present in the .CSV file (dynamically because every csv file may have different number of columns) along with the primariy key empid).
eg: empid report_field1 report_field2
1 x y
Any help would be appreciated.

If I understand you right, you want each row in your table to contain an emp_id and the complete text of a multi-record .csv file.
It's not clear how you relate emp_id to the appropriate file to be read. Is the emp_id stored in the csv file?
To read the file, you can use functions from [UTL_FILE|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/u_file.htm#BABGGEDF] (as long as the file is in a directory accessible to the Oracle server):
declare
    lt_report_clob CLOB;
    l_max_line_length integer := 1024;   -- set as high as the longest line in your file
    l_infile UTL_FILE.file_type;
    l_buffer varchar2(1024);
    l_emp_id report_table.emp_id%type := 123; -- not clear where emp_id comes from
    l_filename varchar2(200) := 'my_file_name.csv';   -- get this from somewhere
begin
   -- open the file; we assume an Oracle directory has already been created
    l_infile := utl_file.fopen('CSV_DIRECTORY', l_filename, 'r', l_max_line_length);
    -- initialise the empty clob
    dbms_lob.createtemporary(lt_report_clob, TRUE, DBMS_LOB.session);
    loop
      begin
         utl_file.get_line(l_infile, l_buffer);
         dbms_lob.append(lt_report_clob, l_buffer);
      exception
         when no_data_found then
             exit;
      end;
    end loop;
    insert into report_table (emp_id, report)
    values (l_emp_id, lt_report_clob);
    -- free the temporary lob
    dbms_lob.freetemporary(lt_report_clob);
   -- close the file
   UTL_FILE.fclose(l_infile);
end;This simple line-by-line approach is easy to understand, and gives you an opportunity (if you want) to take each line in the file and transform it (for example, you could transform it into a nested table, or into XML). However it can be rather slow if there are many records in the csv file - the lob_append operation is not particularly efficient. I was able to improve the efficiency by caching the lines in a VARCHAR2 up to a maximum cache size, and only then appending to the LOB - see [three posts on my blog|http://preferisco.blogspot.com/search/label/lob].
There is at least one other possibility:
- you could use [DBMS_LOB.loadclobfromfile|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_lob.htm#i998978]. I've not tried this before myself, but I think the procedure is described [here in the 9i docs|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96591/adl12bfl.htm#879711]. This is likely to be faster than UTL_FILE (because it is all happening in the underlying DBMS_LOB package, possibly in a native way).
That's all for now. I haven't yet answered your question on how to report data back out of the CLOB. I would like to know how you associate employees with files; what happens if there is > 1 file per employee, etc.
HTH
Regards Nigel

You may have one of a few errors going for you there:
The error says your column in Oracle is a Long not a CLOB, if it is, then make your column a CLOB.
CLOB's are not suppored in all environments and/or all interfaces (specifically Windoz ODBC has a problem).
I believe a DOC (Windoz MS-Word) file is a BLOB, due to formatting characters in the file.
I had a very similar error using Access and trying to do this, but changing to SAS fixed the problem. It could very well be that your version of ODBC/JDBC drivers does not support it properly.

Insert into CLOB fails with Oracle ODBC driver version 9.02.00.65

I tried to insert into CLOB using the latest Oracle ODBC driver 9.02.00.65 and it fails. But the same works with earlier versions of ODBC driver earlier to 9.02.00.65 ie., 9.02.00.63.
Here is the code snippet I tried. Any help now is highly appreciated as I am in the crunch time.
I tried the same code snippet with VARCHAR2 column with the same driver and it works.

Hi,
Since 9.2 has been desupported for error correction you will not be able to download that version from OTN. You should ask whoever is providing the training if their is an alternate version you can use. The only versions that you will be able to download from oracle.com is 10.2 11.1, and 11.2.

Seems like you want to convert a SQL statement from the ??? dialect to the Oracle dialect. *(It would be useful to indicate the non-ANSI standard SQL you are starting with.)
Part of the problem is that you use several date related functions. Some are unnecessary in Oracle and some need to translated into Oracle functions as found in the Functions section (chapter 5) of the SQL Reference manual at http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/homepage
Note that columns and expressions of type 'date' in ORacle always contain all of "yyyy mm dd hh mi ss" and you need to format and trauncate as necessary.
Also note that '09-JAN-31' is NOT an Oracle date, but rather a character representation of a date which must be converted to/from a date expression. You will often need to use the to_date() and to_char() functions with a format mask as the second parameter. This is also descreibed in the first 2 chapters of the SQL Reference manual.
