Embed hyperlink in clob field

Hi,
I have a form that holds TIPSandHINTS entered by teckies.
The text of each hint is entered in a CLOB field.
If the user enters a URL in this field, how can I get FORMS to highlight this and fire off the hyperlink when the cursor is over the URL?
Thanks

  • Need help for SQL SELECT query to fetch XML records from Oracle tables having CLOB field

    Hello,
    I have a scenario wherein i need to fetch records from several oracle tables having CLOB fields(which is holding XML) and then merge them logically to form a hierarchy XML. All these tables are related with PK-FK relationship. This XML hierarchy is having 'OP' as top-most root node and ‘DE’ as it’s bottom-most node with One-To-Many relationship. Hence, Each OP can have multiple GM, Each GM can have multiple DM and so on.
    Table structures are mentioned below:
    OP:
    Name                             Null                    Type        
    OP_NBR                    NOT NULL      NUMBER(4)    (Primary Key)
    OP_DESC                                        VARCHAR2(50)
    OP_PAYLOD_XML                           CLOB       
    GM:
    Name                          Null                   Type        
    GM_NBR                  NOT NULL       NUMBER(4)    (Primary Key)

    Appreciate your help in this regard!

    Hi,
    A few questions :
    How's your first query supposed to give you an XML output like you show ?
    Is there something you're not telling us?
    What's the content of, for example, <OP_PAYLOD_XML1> ?
    I don't think it's a good idea to embed the node level in the tag name, it would make much sense to expose that as an attribute.
    What's the db version BTW?

  • Getting all occurrences from a clob field

    I created a clob field to store an XML document. I have tried the SUBSTR, INSTR, REGEXP_SUBSTR, DBMS_LOB.INSTR functions to extract all occurrence of the XML tab <systemLink>.
    I just get 1 occurrence of the XML tag.
    Has anyone done this before.
    Thanks.

    All occurrences in a single row
    select extract(xmltype(your_clob_field),'//systemLink')

  • 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.

  • Export XML data from a CLOB field using sql developer

    I have a table that contains a CLOB field, each record is a complete XML in itself. After running the select query i am exporting this data by right clicking on the answer set, while the export completes the data for each record gets truncated.
    When i chose to save the export in loader format i get the complete records but now there are n files created for n records exported.
    Is there a way i can get alll the records in a single file wirthout any truncation.
    Thanks in advance!

    You might try delimited format or csv, with no enclosures if desired.

    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?

  • How to store the contents of a text file directly in to a clob field

    Hi All,
    Could anyone help me to store the contents of a text file (*.txt,*.xml etc)directly in to a clob field.
    Thanks in advance
    Jayaram.

    One way is to use sqlloader. Three files are used. A control file, an xml data file, and a file with the path of the xml data file. Here's the control file. It reads load.file, which is the file with the path of the xml data file. It names the path ext_path, and inserts the xml into field xml_field.
    CONTENTS OF CONTROL FILE:
    load DATA
    INFILE 'load.file'
    APPEND
    INTO TABLE xml_table
    ( ext_path FILLER CHAR(13),
    "XML_FIELD" LOBFILE(ext_fname) TERMINATED BY EOF
    CONTENTS OF FILE LOAD.FILE:
    /tmp/load.dat
    The xml is in the file /tmp/load.dat.

  • Hyperlink in dynapro field

    Hi, experts,
    How can I create hyperlink in dynapro fields. So that by double click on that field I can open regarding module.
    If any one response, it will be too much helpfull for me.
    Never mind for forum points.
    Thanks in advance
    Rajiv singh.

    Do you want a double-click or a hyperlink?  For the latter, you will probably need to include a custom container and an HTML control within it plus fill it with the relevant URL etc. 
    If you want double-click to work, then make sure you have defined the "F2" button (Choose / Select) in the PF-STATUS for the screen... you should then be able to pick up this sy-ucomm / OKcode in the user-command in the PAI logic (you may also need to use "get cursor field l_which_field." type logic to tell what was double-clicked on.

  • Inserting to a CLOB field in Oracle 8i  Database

    Hi All,
    I am trying to insert a value to a CLOB field in Oracle 8i DB.
    The value gets inserted when the size is less (Up to around 80 Bytes).
    When the size becomes larger the insertion does not take place but no exception is thrown.
    Please see below the code I have written.
    PreparedStatement preparedStatement = null;
              try {
                   connection = getConnection(MMAKeys.WMDS_DATASOURCE);
                   String query = "UPDATE s_mmhp_batch SET MMHP_REPORT_CLOB=(?) WHERE MMHP_BATCH_ID=(?) AND MMHP_USER_ID=(?) AND MMHP_MEMBER_KEY=(?)";
              preparedStatement=connection.prepareStatement(query);
              Reader r = new StringReader(clobReport);
              preparedStatement.setCharacterStream(1, r, clobReport.length());
              oracle.sql.CLOB newClob = oracle.sql.CLOB.createTemporary(connection , false, oracle.sql.CLOB.DURATION_CALL);

              } finally {
                   closeStatement(preparedStatement);
                   closeConnection(connection);
    I came to know that this method is not supported in Oracle 8i.
    I tried to create an empty CLOB and call the putValue() method.
    But Then, I got an exception stating that the method is not supported.
    Is there any other way to insert a CLOB value to Oracle 8i?
    Please help.

    And cursor.callproc('insert_clob_proc', (clob,))
    doesn't work for you?
    PrzemekYes - I should have been more clear in my original post. The callproc function works until we have a value which is over 32K. At values over 32K, we get an error message "ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested". I believe this is because we are sending the value as a string and so we would need to figure out how to send as a CLOB in cx_Oracle? Here is some code to use to test if interested...
    Oracle (Oracle Database 10g Release 10.1.0.4.0 - Production):
    CREATE TABLE clob_test (CLOB_FIELD CLOB);
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE ins_clob_test (v_clob_field IN CLOB)
    AS
    BEGIN
    INSERT INTO clob_test (clob_field) VALUES (v_clob_field);
    END ins_clob_test;
    Python (2.5):
    conn = cx_Oracle.connect(xhash['oraclelogin'])
    cursor = conn.cursor()
    clob_var = 'Some test data' * 10000
    cursor.callproc('ins_clob_test',(clob_var,))
    conn.commit()
    cursor.close()
    conn.close()
    I should also mention that I am the Oracle developer and not the Python programmer - my knowledge of Python is very limited. I would like the Python programmers to use the procedures (packages) I have created to do their inserts but this situation has caused them to put the SQL directly in their code.
    Thanks again for any assistance you can provide.

  • Adding Hyperlink to a Field

  • Inserting data into a CLOB Field

    I am trying to insert a 100,000+ byte string into a CLOB field in Oracle, but I'm getting a "string literal too long" error. I am using Visual Basic and ADO to try to accomplish this. My insert statement is:

    "(field1, field2, field3)" & _
    "VALUES('" & strNm & "', '" & strDt & "', '" & strData & "')"
    Field 3 is defined as a CLOB in the database. From what I understand, the CLOB can hold massive amounts of data.
    Can anyone lend a hand?

  • Export CLOB field (long= 4202083) to a file with UTL_FILE.PUT or PUT_LINE

    Hello,
    I'm trying to export a CLOB field to a txt file. It's a xml string in the CLOB. I have used different methods but the only which i can use is PUT, PUT_LINE.
    But:
    - PUT does only export the 32565 characters. I see that the output of l_pos is 4202084 but these are not exported. I have tried FFLUSH, but this gives a error or my syntax is not correct.
    - PUT_LINE is exporting the complete CLOB, but after every 32656 is new line is added and if I want to look with altove then I have to remove 129 times the new line. Thats not the way I want to go.
    Is it an idea, if it is possible, that I write 32565 chars to the buffer (file), read these 32565 from the buffer minus one (=without \r\n), delete the last 32565 chars from buffer and append/put the chars 32565 minus the \r\n to the buffer again. I hope there will be a better idea but....
    Has anybody an idea how I can solve this? Or what do I wrong?

  • 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.

    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

    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
