Couldn't copy large amount of data from enterprise DB to Oracle 10g

Question

Hi,
I am using i-batis to copy data from enterprise DB to oracle and viceversa.
The datatype of a field on EDB is 'text' and the datatype on oracle is 'SYS.XMLTYPE'
i am binding these to a java string property in a POJO to bind values.
I could successfully copy limited amount of data from EDB to oracle but if there is more data, i am getting the following exceptions with different oracle drivers ( but i could read large amount of data from EDB):
--- Cause: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column

I have latest oracle 10g jdbc drivers.
remember, i could copy any amount of data from oracle to EDB but not otherway around.
PLease let me know if you have come across this issue, any recommendation is very much appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
I finally remembered how I solved this issue previously.
The jdbc driver isn't able to directly call the insert with a column xml_type. The solution I was using was to build a wrapper function in plSQL.
Here it is (for insert but I suppose tha update will be the same)
create or replace procedure insertXML(file_no_in in number, program_no_in in varchar2, ost_XML_in in clob, btl_XML_in in clob) is
begin
insert into AQAOST_FILES (file_no,program_no,ost_xml,btl_xml) values(file_no_in, program_no_in, xmltype(ost_XML_in), xmltype(btl_XML_in));
end insertXML;
here is the sqlmap file I used
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE sqlMap
PUBLIC "-//ibatis.apache.org//DTD SQL Map 2.0//EN"
"http://ibatis.apache.org/dtd/sql-map-2.dtd">
<sqlMap>
     <typeAlias alias="AqAost" type="com.sg2net.jdbc.AqAost" />
     <insert id="insert" parameterClass="AqAost">
          begin
               insertxml(#fileNo#,#programNo#,#ostXML:CLOB#,#bltXML:CLOB#);
          end;
     </insert>
</sqlMap>
an here is a simple program
package com.sg2net.jdbc;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.Reader;
import java.io.StringWriter;
import java.sql.Connection;
import oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource;
import com.ibatis.common.resources.Resources;
import com.ibatis.sqlmap.client.SqlMapClient;
import com.ibatis.sqlmap.client.SqlMapClientBuilder;
public class TestInsertXMLType {
     * @param args
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          String resource="sql-map-config-xmlt.xml";
          Reader reader= Resources.getResourceAsReader(resource);
          SqlMapClient sqlMap = SqlMapClientBuilder.buildSqlMapClient(reader);
          OracleDataSource dataSource= new OracleDataSource();
          dataSource.setUser("test");
          dataSource.setPassword("test");
          dataSource.setURL("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:orcl");
          Connection connection=dataSource.getConnection();
          sqlMap.setUserConnection(connection);
          AqAost aqAost= new AqAost();
          aqAost.setFileNo(3);
          aqAost.setProgramNo("prg");
          Reader ostXMLReader= Resources.getResourceAsReader("ostXML.xml");
          Reader bltXMLReader= Resources.getResourceAsReader("bstXML.xml");
          aqAost.setOstXML(readerToString(ostXMLReader));
          aqAost.setBltXML(readerToString(bltXMLReader));
          sqlMap.insert("insert", aqAost);
          connection.commit();
     public static String readerToString(Reader reader) {
          StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
          char[] buffer = new char[2048];
          int charsRead = 0;
          try {
               while ((charsRead = reader.read(buffer)) > 0) {
                    writer.write(buffer, 0, charsRead);
          } catch (IOException ioe) {
               throw new RuntimeException("error while converting reader to String", ioe);
          return writer.toString();
package com.sg2net.jdbc;
public class AqAost {
     private long fileNo;
     private String programNo;
     private String ostXML;
     private String bltXML;
     public long getFileNo() {
          return fileNo;
     public void setFileNo(long fileNo) {
          this.fileNo = fileNo;
     public String getProgramNo() {
          return programNo;
     public void setProgramNo(String programNo) {
          this.programNo = programNo;
     public String getOstXML() {
          return ostXML;
     public void setOstXML(String ostXML) {
          this.ostXML = ostXML;
     public String getBltXML() {
          return bltXML;
     public void setBltXML(String bltXML) {
          this.bltXML = bltXML;
I tested the insert and it works correctly
ciao,
Giovanni
