Update LONG datatype columns

Can anyone point me to a description on how I can update a column of datatype LONG.
I will be using a stored procedure/cursor and need to be able to append a string variable to the end of a LONG datatype column that will have other text.
Thanks in advance,
Miller

The use of LONG has several limitations. Please refer to the SQL Reference for details.
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/toc.htm
From the documentation:
You can reference LONG columns in SQL statements in these places:
n SELECT lists
n SET clauses of UPDATE statements
n VALUES clauses of INSERT statements
The use of LONG values is subject to some restrictions:
n A table cannot contain more than one LONG column.
n You cannot create an object type with a LONG attribute.
n LONG columns cannot appear in integrity constraints (except for NULL and NOT
NULL constraints).
n LONG columns cannot be indexed.
n A stored function cannot return a LONG value.
n Within a single SQL statement, all LONG columns, updated tables, and locked
tables must be located on the same database.
LONG columns cannot appear in certain parts of SQL statements:
n WHERE clauses, GROUP BY clauses, ORDER BY clauses, or CONNECT BY clauses or
with the DISTINCT operator in SELECT statements
n The UNIQUE operator of a SELECT statement
n The column list of a CREATE CLUSTER statement
n The CLUSTER clause of a CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW statement
n SQL functions (such as SUBSTR or INSTR)
n Expressions or conditions
n SELECT lists of queries containing GROUP BY clauses
n SELECT lists of subqueries or queries combined by the UNION, INTERSECT, or
MINUS set operators
Note: Oracle Corporation strongly recommends that you convert
LONG columns to LOB columns. LOB columns are subject to far
fewer restrictions than LONG columns. See "TO_LOB" on page 4-111
for more information.

ORA-22275 inserting into the CLOB column using ODBC input parameters

Hi all,
I'm having problem with INSERT into the CLOB column via bound input parameters.
After calling SQLExecDirect() I'm getting following error:
[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-22275: invalid LOB locator specified
Adding defaults to the table definitions does not help. If I embed parameter values into the SQL statement - everything works just fine.
I use Oracle 9.2 with latest Oracle ODBC driver 9.2.0.4 under Windows XP.
Any ideas appreciated...
Vlad
Code looks like this:
SQLBindParameter(hstmt,1,...);
SQLBindParameter(hstmt,2,...);
SQLBindParameter(hstmt,3,...);
SQLExecDirect(hstmt,...);
SQL statement looks like this:
insert into tst_table (id,str_fld,clob_fld1,clob_fld2) values (50, ? , ? , ?)
Table looks like this:
CREATE TABLE tst_table (
     id          number (10,0)     NOT NULL ,
     str_fld          nvarchar2 (50)     NOT NULL ,
     clob_fld1     nclob          NOT NULL ,
     clob_fld2     nclob          NOT NULL ,
     CONSTRAINT PK_tst_table PRIMARY KEY
          id
I tried to add defaults to the table, but result is the same:
CREATE TABLE tst_table (
     id          number (10,0)               NOT NULL ,
     str_fld          nvarchar2 (50)               NOT NULL ,
     clob_fld1     nclob     default EMPTY_CLOB()     NOT NULL ,
     clob_fld2     nclob     default EMPTY_CLOB()     NOT NULL ,
     CONSTRAINT PK_tst_table PRIMARY KEY
          id

You need to provide the data at execution time (i.e. SQL_LEN_DATA_AT_EXEC(0) in the SQLBindParameter followed by a series of SQLPutData calls). If you go to Metalink
Top Tech Docs | Oracle ODBC Driver | Scripts & Sample Code
has some sample code that shows you how to do this.

You should report this in a service request on http://metalink.oracle.com.
It is a shame that you put all the effort here to describe your problem, but on the other hand you can now also copy & paste the question to Oracle Support.
Because you are using 10.2.0.3; I am guessing that you have a valid service contract...

How to select data(first 10 charcters) from a LONG datatype column.?

Hi,
I am getting below error wile i am trying to select forst 10 charcter from a log datatype column. May be I am using it in a wrong way using SUBSTR function.
I dont know whether SUBSTR works for LONG columns or not as it's char function.
I am not able to find any inbuild conversion function which will work like TO_CHAR.Please revert.
My steps:-

Loading Images into LONG RAW column using SQL or PL/SQL

Hi!
I am trying to load images into a LONG RAW column. Can anybody tell me how to do this using SQL or PL/SQL. I do not want to use Forms to do this. And, I have a limitation using BLOBs.
Thanks in Advance,
Kotesh.

You wrote that you cannot use a java class to insert a picture. We are working on a school project and HAVE to use java as a client and Oracle 7 as a server.
Can you tell us how this is to be done?
Thank you in advance,

Require sum value of one table to be inserted into another table column

Hi
I have a table which contains a list of parts and their prices required for an assembly.
I am trying to calculate the total from this part lists and put into the total price column for the assembly (another table column).
My method was to calculate the total in a page process ( eg, once all parts in the assembly have been entered the page process calculates the total price (the sum of the part prices at that time) and puts the result (total) in the assembly total column)
In the process I capture the total using either
SELECT SUM(TOTAL_COST) Total INTO B from CC_REQ_BOM WHERE RID = :P5_RID;
or
SELECT SUM(TOTAL_COST) INTO B from CC_REQ_BOM WHERE RID = :P5_RID;
Both the above sql statements are allowed ( one with alias and one without alais) by the page process but they dont seem to be working as no total is returned to the table when the page process is run.
to insert the calculation(variable B) into the required table I have used
INSERT INTO CC_REQ(TOTAL_COST)
VALUES(B);
I have used this method a few times with no problems for standard sql statements but this is the first time I have used it with the sum SQL function. For some reason it doesn't seem to like the SUM function even though the code below works in SQL Command window.
SELECT SUM(TOTAL_COST) from CC_REQ_BOM WHERE RID = :P5_RID;
Any help welcome.

Hi
In that case, I would do something like this then...
CREATE TABLE crt_crates
(ccr_id   INTEGER        CONSTRAINT ccr_pk PRIMARY KEY,
ccr_name VARCHAR2(4000) CONSTRAINT ccr_nam_nn NOT NULL);
CREATE TABLE crt_requests
(cre_id        INTEGER        CONSTRAINT cre_pk PRIMARY KEY,
cre_reference VARCHAR2(4000) CONSTRAINT cre_ref_nn NOT NULL,
--I've skipped the requester as this would probably refernce a different table
--I've skipped request details as it's not necessary for this example
cre_ccr_id    INTEGER        CONSTRAINT cre_ccr_fk REFERENCES crt_crates);
CREATE TABLE crt_materials
(cma_id   INTEGER        CONSTRAINT cma_pk PRIMARY KEY,
cma_name VARCHAR2(4000) CONSTRAINT cma_nam_nn NOT NULL,
cma_cost NUMBER(12,2)   CONSTRAINT cma_cos_nn NOT NULL);
CREATE TABLE crt_crate_bom
(ccb_id       INTEGER CONSTRAINT ccb_pk PRIMARY KEY,
ccb_ccr_id   INTEGER CONSTRAINT ccb_ccr_fk REFERENCES crt_crates,
ccb_cma_id   INTEGER CONSTRAINT ccb_cma_fk REFERENCES crt_materials,
ccb_quantity INTEGER DEFAULT 1 CONSTRAINT ccb_qua_nn NOT NULL);
INSERT INTO crt_crates
VALUES(1, 'Crate 1');
INSERT INTO crt_requests
VALUES(1,'Request 1',1);
INSERT INTO crt_materials
VALUES(1,'Material 1', 1000);
INSERT INTO crt_materials
VALUES(2,'Material 2', 500);
INSERT INTO crt_crate_bom
VALUES(1,1,1,5);
INSERT INTO crt_crate_bom
VALUES(2,1,2,3);
COMMIT;
--So crate cost totals would be...
SELECT cre_reference              request,
       ccr_name                   crate,
       SUM(cma_cost*ccb_quantity) crate_cost
FROM   crt_requests,
       crt_crates,
       crt_materials,
       crt_crate_bom
WHERE cre_ccr_id = ccr_id
AND    ccb_ccr_id = ccr_id
AND    ccb_cma_id = cma_id
GROUP BY cre_reference,
         ccr_name;
--And request cost totals would be...
SELECT cre_reference              request,
       SUM(cma_cost*ccb_quantity) crate_cost
FROM   crt_requests,
       crt_crates,
       crt_materials,
       crt_crate_bom
WHERE cre_ccr_id = ccr_id
AND    ccb_ccr_id = ccr_id
AND    ccb_cma_id = cma_id
GROUP BY cre_reference; Do you see what I mean - you don't store the derived values as they could get out of sync with the component parts that make then up. You derive them from the underlying data instead.
Hope this makes sense.

Using UPPER function with LONG datatype column

Hi,
Can anyone tell that how can I use UPPER function on a column which has data type as-- LONG?
For ex--
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE UPPER(LONG_COL) LIKE 'MYTEXT%';
thanks,
Abhijeet

Yes I know that that's why I am asking about an alternate solution for it. Could you please let me know if you have any solution to do it?
Thanks,
AbhijeetI think you'll have to write a function to do this for you. You can use DBMS_SQL to break a LONG into pieces and work with 32K segments. I am not sure how to put the converted data back into the LOB at that point, though DBMS_SQL might provide a way to do this.

ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG colu

Hello - I have a variable defined in a package as VARCHAR2(32720). This is not a table column. I am building a string inside the vairable, loading in invoice data in sections one at a time. It seems that once I get a larger number of invoices (say 100+) to load in, I get the "ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column" error. I am not trying to insert into a table column; just stringing together data in this large variable.
Why would I be getting this error ? And is there a workaround ? The variable is read back out iin 80 byte strings which are then loaded to a table column that is varchar2(80).
Thanks !!

Here is the definition of the field:
l_EDI820_Data VARCHAR2(32720);
And here is the loop used to populate the field. As i mentioned, it seems that once the process gets over 100 invoices coming in that the field hits the error; seems as if we are hitting say 4000 characters or near it at that point...
FOR r_INVOICE_DETAIL IN cr_INVOICE_DETAILS LOOP
l_EDI820_Data := l_EDI820_Data
||l_RMR_Statement
||r_INVOICE_DETAIL.INVOICE_NUM
||'*PI*'
||LTRIM(TO_CHAR(NVL(r_INVOICE_DETAIL.PAYMENT_AMOUNT,0))) -- Net Amount to be applied
||'*'
||LTRIM(TO_CHAR(r_INVOICE_DETAIL.INVOICE_AMOUNT,'999999.99')) -- Gross Amount
||l_Delimiter;
l_TOTAL_SEGMENTS := l_TOTAL_SEGMENTS + 1;
END LOOP; -- r_INVOICE_DETAIL
There are some other statements that are adding additional data onto l_EDI820_Data ; this one is the loop that is basedon the invoices coming in.
This code writes it to the table (field EDI820_DATA in the table is VARCHAR2(94)):
l_EDI820_String_Length := LENGTH(RTRIM(l_EDI820_Data));
l_EDI820_SUBSTR_START := 1;
l_RECORD_SEQ_NO := 1;
WHILE SUBSTR(l_EDI820_Data, l_EDI820_SUBSTR_START, 80) <> ' ' LOOP
INSERT INTO XXAP_NACHA_EDI820_GTEMP_TBL
SELECTED_CHECK_ID
,EDI820_SEQ
,EDI820_DATA
VALUES (
r_CHECK_IDS.SELECTED_CHECK_ID
,l_RECORD_SEQ_NO
,'705'||SUBSTR(l_EDI820_Data, l_EDI820_SUBSTR_START, 80)
-- * Increment starting point for substring and also record sequence number
l_EDI820_SUBSTR_START := l_EDI820_SUBSTR_START + 80;
l_RECORD_SEQ_NO := l_RECORD_SEQ_NO + 1;
END LOOP; -- WHILE Loop

How to select for insert a long column through database link?

How may a long column (for example a sql server 2000 text column) be selected for insert into a clob column in table in 10g over a database link without invoking ora-00997?
I've tried using dbms_metadata_util.long2clob without success over a database link.

Is the remote database an Oracle database? Or are you selecting data from SQL Server 2000 over a database link via Heterogeneous Services? What is the data type of the column in the remote database (LONG? TEXT? Something else?)?
