How to insert a very long string into a column of datatype 'LONG'

Can anyone please tell me how can I insert a very long string into a column of datatype 'LONG'?
I get the error, ORA-01704: string literal too long when I try to insert the value into the table.
Since it is an old database, I cannot change the datatype of the column. And I see that the this column already contains strings which are very long.
I know this can be done using bind variables but dont know how to use it in a simple query.
Also is there any other way to do it?

How to insert 4K of XML data into XMLType column?

I use OCCI and our Oracle version is 9.2.0.1.0. I have successfully been able to insert xml data (any size) into a clob column using "insert into...values(.., empty_clob()) returning c1 into :3"; and then using Statement::GetClob() to acquire a reference to the internal clob and populate it. I cannot seem to be able to do the same when the column type is of XMLType.
I could not find a single sample code which demonstrates inserting into a table with a XMLType column. Using SetDataBuffer(OCCI_SQLT_STR) with data over 4000 bytes does not work.
I'd greatly appreciate any feedback.

Pretty sure this was a bug in the base 9.2 release which was fixed in a patch drop. Try 9.2.0.6 or later.

In report layout, can format a long string display as Column mode?

Hi,
Just want to check in report builder any way can format a long string into a column mode?
Example: I have a field to hold 8000 character, and would like to print
30 character in each line, when reach 50 line, then print in column i/o to print next page?
Any idea ? Thanks a lot if you can share your experience with me.
best Regards,
Klnghau

hi let say your field name is x
then if your want it word wrap then it's simple just get one field and make it's vertical
elasticity variable. and asign the field to it..
but if you want your field to be displayed as
first colunm and then beside continuation of that column but in 2nd one...
then create 2 formula columns make your field legth been distributed half in each.
so cf_1 is:
decalre
t varchar2(1510);
begin
if length(:x) > 1500
t := substr(x, 1, 1500); -- as 30 x 50 = 1500
else
t := :x;
end if;
return t;
so cf_2 is:
decalre
t varchar2(1510);
begin
if length(:x) > 1500
t := substr(x, 1500, length(:x)-1500); -- as 30 x 50 = 1500
else
t := '';
end if;
return t;
and then in design view
field1 field2
for field1 source is cf_1 and
for field2 source is cf_2
that's all
Enjoy Oracle...

How to read and write a string into a txt.file

Hi, I am now using BEA Workshop for Weblogic Platform version10. I am using J2EE is my programming language. The problem I encounter is as the above title; how to read and write a string into a txt.file with a specific root directory? Do you have any sample codes to reference?
I hope someone can answer my question as soon as possible
Thank you very much.

Accessing the file system directly from a web app is a bad idea for several reasons. See http://weblogs.java.net/blog/simongbrown/archive/2003/10/file_access_in.html for a great discussion of the topic.
On Weblogic there seems to be two ways to access files. First, use a File T3 connector from the console. Second, use java.net.URL with the file: protocol. The T3File object has been deprecated and suggests:
Deprecated in WebLogic Server 6.1. Use java.net.URL.openConnection() instead.

Insert data 32K into a column of type LONG using the oracle server side jdbc driver

Hi,
I need to insert data of more than 32k into a
column of type LONG.
I use the following code:
String s = "larger then 32K";
PreparedStatement pstmt = dbcon.prepareStatement(
"INSERT INTO TEST (LO) VALUES (?)");
pstmt.setCharacterStream(1, new StringReader(s), s.length());
pstmt.executeUpdate();
dbcon.commit();
If I use the "standard" oracle thin client driver from classes_12.zip ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@kn7:1521:kn7a") every thing is working fine. But if I use the oracle server side jdbc driver ("jdbc:default:connection:") I get the exception java.sql.SQLException:
Datasize larger then max. datasize for this type: oracle.jdbc.kprb.KprbDBStatement@50f4f46c
even if the string s exceeds a length of 32767 bytes.
I'm afraid it has something to do with the 32K limitation in PL/SQL but in fact we do not use any PL/SQL code in this case.
What can we do? Using LOB's is not an option because we have client software written in 3rd party 4gl language that is unable to handle LOB's.
Any idea would be appreciated.

Insert string into date column

I'm writing a bash script that is supposed to insert a series of strings into a table. Problem is I may not know which column the date is in, so I don't want to hard code a to_date function in there.
For instance this row may come in to be inserted:
"06-APR-10 08:51:12","data","data","data","data","data","data","data","data"
Assuming the data is in the proper order, I'm just going to sub out the "," for ',' which will let me insert everything just fine, except obviously it borks on the date.
How do I insert the date this way as a string using the default internal call to to_date?? I know I can do it with '06-APR-10' and it works, but I need to get a little more specific with hour minute and second.

Even if you manage to load the data without error, how can an application make any sense of it?
I'm curious because if you have a method to map the columns, that could be used to help you (maybe) and if you don't have a method ... then i don't see this post as being your number one problem :)

Is there an easy way to convert a long string into an array?

I can convert a long string into a 1-d array by parsing and using build array, but I would like to know if there is a function to make this easier.
For example:
from/   aaaaaaaabbbbbbbbccccccccdddddddd         (string of ascii)
to/       an array that is 1-d with each element having eight characters
          aaaaaaaa
          bbbbbbbb
          cccccccc
          dddddddd
Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try something like this:
(If you can guarantee that the string length is an integer multiple of 8, you an drop the two triangular modes in the upper left. )

How to insert the image or logo into the table as a field in webdynpro abap

Hi Friends,
Please tell me how to insert the image or logo into the table as a field in webdynpro abap.........

Hi Alagappan ,
In your view layout you take table UI element and then you bind it with some context nodes.
The attributes of your nodes comes as a field.
Now in these fields you can set various properties and image is one of them.
Go to ->
1. View Layout -> Right Click on ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER -> INSERT ELEMENT -> TABLE
2. Right click on table -> Create Binding.
Here you have to bind it with the appropriate context node.
You will get two properties here
a- Standard Cell Editor :- ( make it image )
b- Standard properties :- ( If required set image properties ).
3. If you want put image from out side then import it as a mime object and set the source of your table field ( used as a image )
also have a look :-
[Image Properties|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f3/1a61a9dc7f2e4199458e964e76b4ba/content.htm]

Reply if any case of any issue.

How to Store Encrypted String into OracleDatabase Column(vacrchar2)

Hi..
I encountered an error while inserting a Encryted String into oracle column.. Error "Quoted String Doesn't terminated properly"
But i wrote Query string correctly and using Datatypes as String and vacharchar2(2000) in java and oracle respectively..
what i need to do?

Hi,
if your code compose the sql programmatically without bind variables i.e.:
String sqlInsert="insert into table A(encrypted_column) values ('" + encryptedValue+ ')");
then if the string encryptedValue contains a ' character you end up with a wrong sql statement
if you encryped values is something like AAABB#??£££'AAA the corresponding sql is
insert into table A(encrypted_column) values ('AAABB#??£££'AAA')
which is not correct becaus of the ' in the middle of the string.

1. SELECT INTO
Below method will create table when data is inserted from one table to another table. Its useful when you need exactly same datatype as source table.
Use AdventureWorks2008R2;
Go
---Insert data using SELECT INTO
SELECT AddressLine1, City
INTO BothellAddresses
FROM Person.Address
where City = 'Bothell';
GO
---VERIFY DATA
Select AddressLine1, City
FROM BothellAddresses
---DROP TABLE
DROP TABLE BothellAddresses
GO
2. INSERT INTO SELECT
Below method will need table to be created prior to inserting data. Its really useful when table is already created and you want insert data from
another table.
Use AdventureWorks2008R2;
Go
---Create Table
CREATE TABLE BothellAddresses (AddressLine1 NVARCHAR(60), City NVARCHAR(30))
---Insert into above table using SELECT
INSERT INTO BothellAddresses(AddressLine1, City)
SELECT AddressLine1, City
FROM Person.Address
where City = 'Bothell';
---VERIFY DATA
Select AddressLine1, City
FROM BothellAddresses
---DROP TABLE
DROP TABLE BothellAddresses
GO

In DB adapter or-mappings.xml , did you made any changes. If not the open that file in any notepad editor and change the following
<attribute-mapping xsi:type="direct-mapping">
<attribute-name>director</attribute-name>
<field table="MYTABLE" name="MAKE_IT_BLANK_NOT_NULL" xsi:type="column"/>
<attribute-classification>java.lang.String</attribute-classification>
</attribute-mapping>You can try to add this:
<attribute-mapping xsi:type="direct-mapping">
<attribute-name>director</attribute-name>
<field table="MYTABLE" name="MAKE_IT_BLANK_NOT_NULL" xsi:type="column"/>
<null-value></null-value>
<attribute-classification>java.lang.String</attribute-classification>
