Insert long string to database

Hi,
I am using the JDBC in my program. I'm trying to insert a string
of length greater than 4000 into a LONG field and receive the
following errors,
"ORA-01704: string literal too long"
Can anyone explain how this is done?
I checked it on Internet, it may be a problem of Oracle.
Does anyone has a solution for it?
Thanks

Hi ,
Can u post the code.
If a String is longer than 4000 characters. It has to be streamed
inside. setXXX() won't work.

Inserting long string into Oracle

When my code inserts about 5K character into a table, I got an error message saying that the Oracle could only handle 4K character. I am currently looking at LOB but havn't had a clear idea yet. Could someone give me some help on this? According to the sample code, I will have to use Oracle JDBC driver for LOB. But we are using BEA's Kona driver for all JDBC connections. Is there an easy way to insert long string?

hii
nams u solve ur problem using setCharacterStream method
but it does't work if the string more than 4000 char
raises "java.sql.SQLException: Protocol violation"
here's the code
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement( "UPDATE candidate SET cv_new = ?");
StringReader cvReader=new StringReader(cv_new);
int abc=cv_new.length();
ps.setCharacterStream( 1, cvReader, abc);
ps.executeUpdate();
is that any problem in that code or it's a jdbc driver broblem ??
i'm using classes 12.zip
thanks

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 a string containing a single quote to the msql database? help

Absolutely, Positively use a PreparedStatement. Do not use sqlEscape() function unless you have some overriding need (and I don't know what that could possibly be).
There are 1000's of posts on the positive aspects of using a PreparedStatement rather than using a Statement. The two primary positive attributes of using a PreparedStatement are automatic escaping of Strings and a stronger security model for your application.

Automatic trim of too long strings

Hi,
if I try to insert a too long string value into a VARCHAR column, I get the error ORA-12899.
Is it possible to set the Oracle database so that too long strings get trimmed automatically?
Thank you.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Unfortunately, there's nothing quite like what you want in Oracle.
Even if you write a trigger to cut off the excess, you can still get the ORA-12899 error. For example, if table_x.col_1 is defined as VARCHAR2 (10), this statement:
INSERT INTO table_x (col_1) VALUES ('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP');will get the error, even if you have a trigger that says
:NEW.col_1 := SUBSTR (:NEW.col_1, 1, 10);You could define col_1 as VARCHAR2 (4000), and have a trigger that includes the statement show above, to make sure that the actual values will be 10 characters or less. You cound even have a CHECK constraint (LENGH (col_1) <= 10).
Think carefully about what Someoneelse said. Do you really want to throw away part of what users enter, automatically and without any warning? Will that cause confusion?

Inserting long text in a programmatically created table

Hi there!
I have to create, in a programmatic way, a 2dtable where some cells have to contain a long string. As it seems to be not possible to have an automatic word-wrap, I triend to insert carriage return/line feed (vbCrLf) inside my string, but the result didn't change.
Maybe I need to set some specific table property to do that?
thank you,
andrea

Hello Andrea!
You have to use a variable like TV or a text channel for every column you want to set. There is no direct way to fill a cell. In your script you only have to set the variable or channel. As you expected you have to use a vbCRLF to get multiline text. DIAdem will display multiline text but did not recognize it. That means that the program do not make a vertical alignment. The first line will be vertical centerted and all other lines will be below. Result: A white gap above the text! You have to 'play' with the cell and text height to get a half-decent text display. BTW: I made my tests with DIAdem 9.

It looks like you try to insert a string-value in a number-column.
can you check all your assign and their values before you invoke the db-adapter, then you should be able to narrow down the problem.

Passing a long string from Vb to stored proc

Hi,
I am passing a long string from Vb to this stored proc ..
defn:
Create Or Replace Procedure saveTaxFormInDB(intFormUID IN number,
intCLUID IN number,
PDFdata IN varchar2,
Status IN OUT Varchar2) AS
Problem lies with the string pdfdata. I am sending it from VB as:
Set cmdParamStr = cmdAdoCmd.CreateParameter("Data", adVarChar,
adParamInput, 32767, strData)
I have checked the parameters in VB while sending and I have the
correct string argument to be passed to "PDFData", But i am not
sure if it is getting the value correctly.
Because I know that the code is raising exception while
accessing PDFData. (eg. in places like insert ..(pdfdata) and
length(pdfdata)...)
Please advise how i can solve this problem.
Please Note that the string is not VERY large. I do not need to
use LOBS in any way. the string is definitely within the limits
of varchar2(which i think is 4000 chars.. correct me if i am
wrong).
Many thanks

what is the backend MS SQl server or Oracle.??
If it is MS SQLSERVER, then
1.Create a SqlCommand object with the parameters as the name of the stored procedure that is to be executed and the connection object con to which the command is to be sent for execution.
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("Name of StoredProcedure",con);
2.Change the command objects CommandType property to stored procedure.
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
3.Add the parameters to the command object using the Parameters collection and the SqlParameter class.
command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@parametername",SqlDbType.Int,0,"Filedname"));
4.Specify the values of the parameters using the Value property of the parameters
command.Parameters[0].Value=4;
command.Parameters[1].Value="ABC";
If it is oracle,
OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection("uid=;pwd=");
try
con.Open();

My client is using Java and they are saying that they are using this key for their AES256 Encryption and working fine. I have asked them to provide me 32 bytes key as in Oracle 256bit is 32 character string.
Let me see what they have to say.
I was wondering why Java has 64 bytes for 256 AES encryption when Oracle need only 32 bytes for same encryption.I am not sure I completely understand how those built-in packages work but the doc example produces the raw key that is same in length (in terms of number of characters) as the one you are using.
Yet your UTL_I18N packaged function fails for your key but works for the documentation example.

Extract multiple data from long string

I am working in Crystal Reports XI looking at an SQL database. How can I pick up several different data bits from a realy long string? Each element I want is preceded by "Old Value =" or "New Value =". The problem is that there are up to 4 different sets of these "Old Value =", "New Value =" so I can only get the first set if I use "InStr" to find "Old Value =" or "New Value =".
Since they are preceded by unique headings like "RuntimeMinutes", I thought I could use "InStr" to find that "RuntimeMinutes" or whichever and then use that value as the location number nested in another "InStr" to find "New Value =" and nest it all in a "Mid" expression. But however I did it I got an error highlighting that "InStr" nested in "InStr" saying it was not an integer or the value was less than 1.
Any ideas?

The way that I'd deal with this is by creating formula fields for each value that you want to extract. In the sample below, I'm assuming your string looks something like this:
RuntimeMinutes OldValue=123 NewValue=234 DbReads OldValue=12345 NewValue=34567
The formula for {@Runtime Minutes Old Value} would then look like (basic syntax):
dim pos as number
' Find where RuntimeMunutes old and new values start:
pos = InStr({really long string}, "RuntimeMinutes")
' Find first OldValue after RuntimeMinutes:
pos = InStr(pos + 14, {really long string}, "OldValue") ' 14 = Len("RuntimeMinutes")
' Pull out the value:
formula = val(mid({really long string}, pos + 9,
Instr(pos + 9, {really long string}, " ") - pos - 9)) ' 9=Len("OldValue=")
And do the same for all of the other values you need.

SQLJ with EJB. Do not insert data in the database

Hi All!
I4m developing an application using SQLJ and EJB (session beans,
container managed transactions), and when I try to insert data
in the database it doesn't work. All goes well (apparently), but
the changes do not have effect in the DB.
I've tried to use bean managed transactions, but when I try to
insert data, I get the error: NOT IN A TRANSACTION. The code of
the client in the bean managed is the following:
public class MiEJBCLiente {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String namespaceURL
= "jdbc:oracle:thin:@rabinf56:1521:prinpal";
String ejbUrl
= "sess_iiop://rabinf56:2481:prinpal/test/Bean";
String username = "xxx";
String password = "xxx";
// Setup the environment
Hashtable environment = new Hashtable();
// Tell JNDI to speak sess_iiop
environment.put

catch (SQLException e) {
// That's it!
try {
System.out.println("Creating a new EJB instance");
hello.MiBean remoteInterface = homeInterface.create();
ut.begin ();
remoteInterface.inserta();
ut.commit();
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
I4m waiting for suggests.
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
Are you sure it's a front-end bug? Try to double check your back-end code.
If you still believe the bug is in the front-end, try to debug the insertHandler function to see if you are attaching the UserVO properly into the UserEvent.
Best regards,
