Function for considering characters such ( , ,") in CLOB columns

If I excute following SQL statement:
SELECT XMLELEMENT("Inhalt",inhalt) from temp where id=5;
The result is:
<Inhalt>
<Datenblock ID="5">
</Datenblock>
</Inhalt>
The datatype of column "inhalt" is CLOB. The content of ID 5 is:
<Datenblock ID="5">
</Datenblock>
My question is:
Does a function exists which considers the right character set and does not quote characters (<,>,")? I use UTF-8 as a Database Character Set. Can anybody help me?

ORA-01461 when trying to insert text 4000 characters into a CLOB column

I work on a Windows application that connects to databases using ODBC. I'm currently working on adding Oracle support to the application, but I'm running into a lot of problems inserting strings of more than 4000 characters into CLOB columns. First, I tried to do that directly using code similar to the following (setup, cleanup, and error checking snipped for clarity).
SQLHDBC hDbc;
SQLHSTMT hStmt;
unsigned char query[200];
SQLAllocStmt(hDbc, &hStmt);
strcpy(query,"INSERT INTO test_table (col_clob, col_int) ('long string', 1)");
SQLExecDirect(hStmt,query,strlen(query));
Of course, "long string" was really a string of more than 4000 characters. When I did that, I got an error indicating that I needed to use bind parameters for strings that long. However, bind parameters don't seem to work either. I changed my code to something like the following:
SQLHDBC hDbc;
SQLHSTMT hStmt;
unsigned char query[200];
+unsigned char *str=NULL;+
int str_size;
SQLAllocStmt(hDbc, &hStmt);
strcpy(query,"INSERT INTO test_table (col_clob, col_int) (:strvar, 1)");
SQLPrepare(hStmt,query,SQL_NTS);
str = (unsigned char*)malloc(6000 * sizeof(unsigned char));
SQLBindParameter(hStmt, 1, SQL_PARAM_INPUT, SQL_C_CHAR, SQL_VARBINARY, 0, 0, str, sizeof(str), &str_size);
strcpy(str,'long_string');
str_size = SQL_NTS;
SQLExecute(hStmt);
This code works fine when 'long_string' is less than 4000 characters. When it's greater than that, I get the following error:
+[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column+
I'm using Visual Studio.NET 2003 on Windows XP, and Oracle client 11.1.0.6.0. My server version is as follows:
SQL> select * from v$version;
BANNER
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Product
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.1.0 Production
TNS for Linux: Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
I thought I read somewhere that this is a known bug with Oracle 10.2.0.1.0, but I can't seem to find the reference now. Can anyone confirm this or provide some assistance with this problem? Frankly, it seems kind of ridiculous that I can't do something as simple as inserting a reasonably sized amount of text into a CLOB column. I'm considering using BFILEs instead, but that would be kind of a pain to fit into our application, so I'd prefer not to do this if at all possible.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I found this link referring to a similar problem that was apparently fixed in version 10.2.0.4 of the server: ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column Should I try to upgrade the server and see if that fixes things?

Urgent !!! csv to File function for international characters

Hi ,
We are using fileToBinary() function provided by the samples of Weblogic Integration
Server to read one csv file.
It works absolutely fine when all characters in the csv file are english.
But when we have some japanese characters , they are going to be tempered and
replaced by '?'
Any solutions to this problem at the earliest would be really helpful to us.
Thanks and Regards
Pavitra

Well that was weird??
I just installed all the fonts here:
Japanese
otf-ipafont - Formal style Japanese Gothic (sans-serif) and Mincho (serif) fonts set; one of the highest quality open source font. Default of openSUSE-ja. (AUR)
ttf-vlgothic - Japanese Gothic fonts. Default of Debian/Fedora/Vine Linux (AUR)
ttf-mplus - Modern Gothic style Japanese outline fonts. It includes all of Japanese Hiragana/Katakana, Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A, IPA Extensions and most of Japanese Kanji, Greek, Cyrillic, Vietnamese with 7 weights (proportional) or 5 weights (monospace). (AUR)
ttf-ipa-mona, ttf-monapo - Japanese fonts to show 2channel Shift JIS art properly. (AUR)
ttf-sazanami - Japanese free TrueType font. This is outdated and not maintained any more, but may be defined as a fallback font on several environments.
which automatically configures the font cache however, when run mate-terminal with Japanese kanji style fonts; the terminal still shows a bunch of #### signs where the Kanji should be displayed?
Now I'm lost :-S

Need help in using replace function with special characters

I have a column in a table where the data can contain ascii code for special characters such as an apostrophe.
The data looks like this:
CREEK'S LANE
ie for a street named CREEK'S LANE.
I want to replace the ascii representation with the apostrophe and have the returned data show up as: CREEK's LANE
When I try the query below I get prompted for substitution variable value.
I don't seem to be able to find the right syntax to make this query work.
SELECT REPLACE (street_name, ''', '''')
FROM
streets WHERE street_id = 1
Does anybody know how to do this?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

GeorgeHa! The codes you specified rendered in the HTML, but showed properly when I listed your original posting above. I didn't understand what you meant initially because the 5-character string represenation got rendered as the quote that you said you weren't able to get - a display problem.
You're getting prompted for the substituon variable because of the ampersand; you appear to be doing this in SQL*PLUS. The first thing I would try is to SET DEFINE OFF when using the ampersands to see if that works. If That doesn't work check the docs to delmit the ampersand (I think its a backslash before it but can't remember offhand). Another, harder option might be to use the TRANSLATE function replacing the literal character instead of using REPLACE (though replacing a quote will be a little tricky). If you're on 10g also consider using the advanced quoting
Good luck!

2. Administrating Group conversations for more than 5 users

Hello We are not currently able to support Skype Number in Ukraine, but we continue to look into how we can increase the list of supported countries. We don't yet have any specific timelines on those. We'll keep our website updated as to any changes in that regard. Thanks for your question

Setting Line Terminator for a CLOB column by script

Hello Everyone,
I have a CLOB column in my table that receives external data (more than 400 sources).
The GUI application displays it in different ways because of the multiple incoming Line Terminators.
Here is the weird thing:
In SQL developper 3.1.06. In the Preferences->Environment I selected as Line Terminator: Carriage Return and Line Fe(Windows)
Once I committed the changes the data was properly displayed in the application (apparently was also re-coded).
My Question is:
How can I setup this property on the column or table to fix the issue??
(I'm looking for a DDL script or something alike).
Thanks in advance.

If that's the case, What is the SQL DEveloper doing then??
I tested and looks like is a global parameter, not sure if works only for the table. (That what I need).
If is possible to setup this feature from the GUI it should be a way to do it running a Script.
Right????No.
Tables don't have any concept of "lines".
CLOB's don't have any concept of "lines".
"lines" only exist in the context of the data you are providing, but that's not of concern to the database.
So it looks like, what SQL Developer is doing (I assume as I don't use it), is to have a setting such that when it comes to display character data from VARCHAR2's or CLOB's it determines if there are CR/LF or just LF characters (as per the setting) and then uses those as line terminators for displaying the data in it's own interface. Thus it sounds like an interface specific setting, or to put it bluntly, it's something that is a part of SQL Developer to control how it displays things.
Have you tried querying back the raw version of the data from the database to see that it still has the CR/LF characters in it? It should.
I think you'll find the setting is a "display" setting, not a "alter my data" setting.

Please can somebody suggest how I can browse through each row of the data identify credit card numbers (that we will be doing as per the business requirements from business) mask the numbers and put that back at the orignal location as it was.
Please can somebody explain me considering "44443333222211110" was a credit card number and requires to be masked.
Thanks,

Limitation for CLOB columns? - ORA-01704: string literal too long

Hello!
I'm trying to update a CLOB column with more than 35000 characteres, but I get "ORA-01704: string literal too long".
The code:
declare
l_clob clob;
begin
update test set test = empty_clob()
WHERE ID = 1
returning test into l_clob;
dbms_lob.write( l_clob, length('A...here 35000xA...A'), 1,'A...here 35000xA...A');
end;
Is there any limitation for CLOB columns?
Thanks for help.

Replace function for CLOB

I have CLOB column and want to do a select with a replace kind of function- replacing certain characters. E.g. if body is a CLOB field, I need
select Clobreplace(body,'abcdef','123456') from t1;
Does anyone have a function or equivalent to do this?
Thanks

There isn't one readymade. However, it would be relatively simple to write one yourself. You would need to iterate around the input clob doing the following:[list]
[*]use DBMS_LOB.INSTR to locate occurances of the token;
[*]use DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR to segment your input CLOB using the offset from the INSTR call;
[*]write each segment appended with the replacement string to a temporary LOB;
[*]return the temporary LOB
[list]
I suggest you have a play around with the logic of this using SQL SUBSTR and INSTR on a varchar2 string. Once you understand what you're doing you can introduce the complication of operating on a CLOB.
Good luck, APC

SQL LOADER: how to load CLOB column using stored function

Hi,
I am a newbie of sql loader. Everything seems to be fine until I hit a
road block - the CLOB column type. I want to load data into the clob
column using a stored function. I need to do some manipulation on the
data before it gets saved to that column. But I got this error when I
run the sql loader.
SQL*Loader-309: No SQL string allowed as part of "DATA" field
specification
DATA is my CLOB type column.
here is the content of the control file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'test.csv'
BADFILE 'test.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'test.dsc'
REPLACE
INTO TABLE test_table
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
codeid          BOUNDFILLER,
reason          BOUNDFILLER,
Checkstamp     "to_date(:CHECKSTAMP, 'mm/dd/yyyy')",
"DATA"          "GetContent(:codeid, :reason)"
All references are suggesting to use a file to load data on
CLOB column but I want to use a function in which it generates
the content to be saved into the column.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Baldwin

Error with clob column: "No pl/sql translation for the blind type given for this bind variable"

This is reports 11g
I've got a clob column. Reports seems to recognize its type, but if I try to reference it in a format trigger, I get this error at compile time:
"No pl/sql translation for the blind type given for this bind variable"

Actually, Reports is in something better than Forms.
Neither Forms nor Reports do not have "complete" SQL engine (both have only "complete" PL/SQL engine), but have their own SQL parser, which does not understand SQL commands after the database 8.0.
But, in Reports Data Model - SQL Query Statement, we can write "modern" SQL statement (> database 8.0), because Reports sent it directly to the database, without using their own SQL parser.
For example, in Reports Data Model - SQL Query Statement, we can write this (scalar subquery expressions, in bold):
select empno,
       ename,
       deptno,
       (select dname from dept where deptno = emp.deptno) dname
from emp
order by empno;
although scalar subquery expressions was introduced in the database 9.0.1, and in databases 8.0 and 8.1 we should write someting like this:
select emp.empno,
       emp.ename,
       emp.deptno,
       dept.dname
from emp,
       dept
where dept.deptno = emp.deptno
order by empno;

Function for column validation in SQl Loader control file.

Hello Gurus,
We have an requirement to create a function to validate all date and number columns in control file, and return 0/1 accordingly to valid_column which is last column . I have developed the function which accepts the number and date type columns as parameter and return Y/N. My question is, is there any way so that the function could be created without passing any parameter to it?
If yes, then how to call the function in control file?
I have been searching since a while on Google to find out any solution but could find out.
Using Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0
Thanks!

does anybody know a way to calculate a hash value for a clob column (9i) ?
DBMS_UTILITY.GET_HASH_VALUE could only handle varchar2(4000).
