Problem with DBMS_LOB.

Hi, I am working with Oracle XE, I created a table with the following structure:
CREATE TABLE "HR". EMPLOYEE_DOCUMENTS "
"NUM_DOCUMENS" ENABLE NUMBER NOT NULL,
"EMPLOYEE_COD" NUMBER (6.0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"TIPO_DOCUMENTO" VARCHAR2 (12 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"GENERADO_EL" DATE NOT NULL ENABLE,
"DOCUMENTO_BLOB" BLOB,
"DOCS8_CLOBS" CLOB,
CONSTRAINT "EMPLOYEE_DOCUMENTS_PK" PRIMARY KEY ( "NUM_DOCUMENS")
In the field CLOB stored as a text as follows:
A person who carries the card. # for the use of the credential # pursued by the law.
With DBMS_LOB, replacing the characters # content in the field CLOB by the value 1306958172, but the text that remains the last # concatenates and not get results like this:
A person who carries the card. 1306958172 for the use of the credential 1306958172 pur
One more question, as can assign field contents CLOb the type BLOB field to save as a Word document, an example please.
Tahnk.
Roberto.

In that place of my Store Procedure:
declare
clobs1 CLOB;
clobs2 CLOB;
BLOBS blob;
clobs_aux CLOB;
valor number;
cadena varchar2(4000);
nposicion number;
ncontar number:=1;
begin
select docs8_clobs, documento_blob into clobs1,blobs
from hr.EMPLOYEE_DOCUMENTS
where hr.EMPLOYEE_DOCUMENTS.NUM_DOCUMENS=12812;
valor:=DBMS_LOB.INSTR(CLOBS1,'#',1,ncontar);
clobs_aux:=clobs1;
while valor<>0 loop
nposicion:=valor+1;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(TO_CHAR(VALOR));
clobs2:=DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR(clobs_aux,valor-1,1);
clobs2:=clobs2||' '||to_clob('1306958172');
clobs2:=clobs2||' '||DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR(clobs_aux,nposicion,nposicion);
CLOBS_AUX:=CLOBS2;
if ncontar>=1 then
update hr.EMPLOYEE_DOCUMENTS
set docs8_clobs=clobs_aux
where num_documens=12812;
commit;
end if;
--Recuperar campo CLOB actualizado.
select docs8_clobs, documento_blob into clobs1,blobs
from hr.EMPLOYEE_DOCUMENTS
where hr.EMPLOYEE_DOCUMENTS.NUM_DOCUMENS=12812;
CLOBS_AUX:=CLOBS1;
valor:=DBMS_LOB.INSTR(CLOBS_AUX,'#',1,ncontar);
ncontar:=ncontar+1;
end loop;
end;

  • Problem with DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR

    Hi,
    i want to encode a BLOB into BASE64_ENCODE.
    Here my PL/SQL function:
    FUNCTION encodeBlob2Base64(pBlobIn IN BLOB)
    RETURN BLOB
    IS
    vAmount PLS_INTEGER := 20000;
    vBase64Blob BLOB;
    vBlobIn BLOB;
    vOffset PLS_INTEGER := 1;
    BEGIN
    vBlobIn := pBlobIn;
    dbms_lob.createtemporary(lob_loc => vBase64Blob, CACHE => FALSE);
    LOOP
    dbms_lob.append(dest_lob => vBase64Blob,
    src_lob => utl_encode.base64_encode(r =>
    dbms_lob.substr(lob_loc => vBlobIn, amount => vAmount, offset => vOffset)));
    vOffset := vOffset + vAmount;
    END LOOP;
    dbms_lob.freetemporary(lob_loc => vBase64Blob);
    RETURN vBase64Blob;
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
    RAISE;
    END encodeBlob2Base64;
    When i now use my function i get the ORA-29261: bad argument in the statement DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR(lob_loc ...)
    Has somebody an idea, what's wrong?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Martin

    The reason is that utl_encode returns a raw whereas dbms_lob.append expects either a blob or a clob.

  • Problem with DBMS_LOB.append() procedure

    Hi all.
    I have a small question about this function:
    I tried to use it to unit 2 CLOB objects. Here is part of my script:
    create or replace
    procedure PAGE_CSV()
    is
    S clob;
    S_FULL clob;
    begin
    DBMS_LOB.append(S_FULL, S);
    end;
    But I've got an error:
    ORA-19011: Character string buffer too small
    May be somebody knows what about his error? I Can not realize why it's about buffer (looks like varchar2), I do not use it...
    Thanks,
    Anton.
    PS Thats for sure, both of objects are not null.

    You cannot assign to a lob variable a value larger then 32767 bytes if it doesn't have a persistent storage in the DB.

  • Problem with combination of ClobDomain and DB Trigger

    Hi all,
    I am using JDeveloper 10.1.2.0.0 (Build 1811), Oracle RDBMS 10.1.0.4.0
    I have a DB Table which contains a CLOB column. This column is mapped in the EntityObject with the java type ClobDomain. Insert, update and delete actions are handled correctly by BC4J. The problem is that the database trigger on the table always gives me an empty CLOB object instead of the correct data.
    PL/SQL trigger
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER SYNC_CLOB
    AFTER INSERT OR UPDATE OR DELETE ON MYTABLE
    FOR EACH ROW
    BEGIN
    IF (DELETING OR
    :NEW.clobcolumn IS NULL OR
    DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(:NEW.clobcolumn) = 0) THEN
    -- Delete record from sync table
    ELSE
    -- Insert/Update record in sync table
    END IF;
    END;
    Scenario
    When I do an insert or update (in BC4J) that contains data for the clobcolumn, the clobcolumn is populated correctly, but the trigger always deletes the record in the sync table because the length of the CLOB is always zero. If I remove the condition DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(:NEW.clobcolumn) = 0 a empty CLOB is inserted/updated in the sync table.
    When I do an insert or update via SQL*Plus that contains data for the clobcolumn the trigger inserts/updates the correct CLOB value in the sync table.
    This leads me to the conclusion that there is a problem with the ClobDomain.
    Has this got something to do with the way the ClobDomain handles the dml operations (streaming to a LOB locator)?
    Can somebody help me?
    Thanks,
    Steven.

  • Problem with bfilename(directory_name,file_name) function

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with this function. I have built and pl/sql program in order to send an email wich includes "pdf" file.
    I have found that bfilename function works fine when you want to send a pdf file.
    However, when I execute this query
    SELECT bfilename('/usr/tmp', 'pdf_report.pdf') dato
    FROM dual;
    The result shows in the screen : /usr/tmp//pdf_report.pdf (NoExist)
    I don't know why the path includes double "//".
    Then, I wanted to open the file in this way
    bfile_len := dbms_lob.getlength(bfile_handle);
    pos := 1;
    dbms_lob.open(bfile_handle,dbms_lob.lob_readonly);
    an error occurs :
    ORA-22285: non-existent directory or file for GETLENGTH operation.
    I infere that the problem is "//" but I don't know why it happened.
    Can I use another function in order to send a pdf file inside an email ? Or can I change a blob type column in order to replace "/" insted of "//" ?.
    I appreciate your help.
    Best Regards,
    Mariano.-

    Hi Damorgan,
    I did what you told me but the error still appears.
    I created my directory in the database. But when the program executed the line with the "fileopen sentence" the error appeared again.
    I saw that the directory contained '//' instead of '/'. Can I use another function in order to send a pdf file inside an email ?
    Thanks for your cooperation and patience.
    Best Regards.
    Mariano.-

  • Problem with BFILE closure

    I have a problem with a pending session (Oracle 8.1.7, Windows 2000). The active process is waiting for a BFILE to close (BFILE closure). It has been waiting > 7000 secs. The file to read is a simple csv-file with 10 lines.
    I'm using the widely spread "ftp"-package (I have removed all procedures with a "binary" part as 8i dont have the "put_raw" feature. I've used binary part of the package in 10g without any problems).
    The procedure where the problem occurs:
    FUNCTION get_local_ascii_data (p_dir IN VARCHAR2,
    p_file IN VARCHAR2)
    RETURN CLOB IS
    l_bfile BFILE;
    l_data CLOB;
    l_amount BINARY_INTEGER := 32767;
    l_pos INTEGER := 1;
    wText varchar2(32767);
    BEGIN
    DBMS_LOB.createtemporary (lob_loc => l_data,
    cache => TRUE,
    dur => DBMS_LOB.call);
    l_bfile := BFILENAME(p_dir, p_file);
    DBMS_LOB.fileopen(l_bfile, DBMS_LOB.file_readonly);
    DBMS_LOB.loadfromfile(l_data, l_bfile, DBMS_LOB.getlength(l_bfile));
    DBMS_LOB.fileclose(l_bfile);
    RETURN l_data;
    END;
    The file to be read contains the following:
    1;john;heinrich;vejnavn 1;2650;hvidovre
    2;john;heinrich;vejnavn 2;2650;hvidovre
    3:john;heinrich;vejnavn 3;2650;hvidovre
    4;john;heinrich;vejnavn 4;2650;hvidovre
    5;john;heinrich;vejnavn 5;2650;hvidovre
    6;john;heinrich;vejnavn 6;2650;hvidovre
    7;john;heinrich;vejnavn 7;2650;hvidovre
    8;john;heinrich;vejnavn 8;2650;hvidovre
    9;john;heinrich;vejnavn 9;2650;hvidovre
    10;john;heinrich;vejnavn 10;2650;hvidovre
    Any clue?
    It locks the package in question, and killing the session dont free the package. Only a db shotdown will free the package. Is there a way to "close" the bfile?

    What information is there in your post indicating the BFILE did not close and that this is the cause of the problem?
    8.1.7 is so old I haven't seen it in almost a decade so I can't test this out but it seems to me you should be focusing new development efforts on a version of the product that has been supported during the current millennium.

  • Potential problem with XMLDOM.writeToClob()

    I'm really hoping that someone can help me with this. Last fall, wrote some code that used XMLDOM to build a document and send it to a web service. I remember having problems with WriteToBuffer and WriteToClob during my development efforts, which I thought were successfully resolved. Now it looks like the problem may be occurring at a client who recently upgraded to use this code. I can't get this to fail in-house, so I can't do much debugging on it. So I'm hoping that someone else has come across a problem like this and remembers what they did to fix it.
    Basically, what happened was, WriteToClob (or sometimes WriteTuBuffer) didn't return anything, even though the DOM document was not empty. I remember going back and forth between WriteToBuffer and WriteToClob, trying to get it resolved. But I don't remember specifically finding any "magic bullet". Here's what I currently have in the code:
    DBMS_LOB.createtemporary (v_source_data, TRUE);
    DBMS_LOB.OPEN (v_source_data, DBMS_LOB.lob_readwrite);
    xmldom.writetoclob (v_main_doc, v_source_data);
    DBMS_LOB.CLOSE (v_source_data);
    Has anyone had a similar problem, and remember what the fix was? I'm also not sure that the Open/Close calls are necessary. Or what TRUE means on CreateTemporary (aside from some generic comment about "buffer cache" without telling me what a buffer cache is).

  • A problem with threads

    I am trying to implement some kind of a server listening for requests. The listener part of the app, is a daemon thread that listens for connections and instantiates a handling daemon thread once it gets some. However, my problem is that i must be able to kill the listening thread at the user's will (say via a sto button). I have done this via the Sun's proposed way, by testing a boolean flag in the loop, which is set to false when i wish to kill the thread. The problem with this thing is the following...
    Once the thread starts excecuting, it will test the flag, find it true and enter the loop. At some point it will LOCK on the server socket waiting for connection. Unless some client actually connects, it will keep on listening indefinatelly whithought ever bothering to check for the flag again (no matter how many times you set the damn thing to false).
    My question is this: Is there any real, non-theoretical, applied way to stop thread in java safely?
    Thank you in advance,
    Lefty

    This was one solution from the socket programming forum, have you tried this??
    public Thread MyThread extends Thread{
         boolean active = true;          
         public void run(){
              ss.setSoTimeout(90);               
              while (active){                   
                   try{                       
                        serverSocket = ss.accept();
                   catch (SocketTimeoutException ste){
                   // do nothing                   
         // interrupt thread           
         public void deactivate(){               
              active = false;
              // you gotta sleep for a time longer than the               
              // accept() timeout to make sure that timeout is finished.               
              try{

  • Problem with Threads and a static variable

    I have a problem with the code below. I am yet to make sure that I understand the problem. Correct me if I am wrong please.
    Code functionality:
    A timer calls SetState every second. It sets the state and sets boolean variable "changed" to true. Then notifies a main process thread to check if the state changed to send a message.
    The problem as far I understand is:
    Assume the timer Thread calls SetState twice before the main process Thread runs. As a result, "changed" is set to true twice. However, since the main process is blocked twice during the two calls to SetState, when it runs it would have the two SetState timer threads blocked on its synchronized body. It will pass the first one, send the message and set "changed" to false since it was true. Now, it will pass the second thread, but here is the problem, "changed" is already set to false. As a result, it won't send the message even though it is supposed to.
    Would you please let me know if my understanding is correct? If so, what would you propose to resolve the problem? Should I call wait some other or should I notify in a different way?
    Thanks,
    B.D.
    Code:
    private static volatile boolean bChanged = false;
    private static Thread objMainProcess;
       protected static void Init(){
            objMainProcess = new Thread() {
                public void run() {
                    while( objMainProcess == Thread.currentThread() ) {
                       GetState();
            objMainProcess.setDaemon( true );
            objMainProcess.start();
        public static void initStatusTimer(){
            if(objTimer == null)
                 objTimer = new javax.swing.Timer( 1000, new java.awt.event.ActionListener(){
                    public void actionPerformed( java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){
                              SetState();
        private static void SetState(){
            if( objMainProcess == null ) return;
            synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
                bChanged = true;
                try{
                    objMainProcess.notify();
                }catch( IllegalMonitorStateException e ) {}
        private static boolean GetState() {
            if( objMainProcess == null ) return false;
            synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
                if( bChanged) {
                    SendMessage();
                    bChanged = false;
                    return true;
                try {
                    objMainProcess.wait();
                }catch( InterruptedException e ) {}
                return false;
        }

    Thanks DrClap for your reply. Everything you said is right. It is not easy to make them alternate since SetState() could be called from different places where the state could be anything else but a status message. Like a GREETING message for example. It is a handshaking message but not a status message.
    Again as you said, There is a reason I can't call sendMessage() inside setState().
    The only way I was able to do it is by having a counter of the number of notifies that have been called. Every time notify() is called a counter is incremented. Now instead of just checking if "changed" flag is true, I also check if notify counter is greater than zero. If both true, I send the message. If "changed" flag is false, I check again if the notify counter is greater than zero, I send the message. This way it works, but it is kind of a patch than a good design fix. I am yet to find a good solution.
    Thanks,
    B.D.

The program doesnt display any of my gui error messages either when the server disconnect the client. all works find in a console. any advice on this as I havent been able to understand why this is happening? any comment would be appreciated.
    troy.

    troy,
    Try and post a minimum code sample of your app which
    does not work.
    When using javaw, make sure you redirect the standard
    error and standard output streams to file.
    Graeme.Hi Graeme,
    I dont understand what you mean by redirection to file? some of my code below.
    The code works fine under a console, code is supposed to exit when the client (the other server )disconnects. the problem is that but the clientworker side of the code still works. which under console it doesnt.

  • Problem with threads and camera.

    Hi everybody!
    I've a problem with taking snapshot.
    I would like to display a loading screen after it take snapshot ( sometimes i
    have to wait few seconds after i took snapshot. Propably photo is being taken in time where i have to wait).
    I was trying to use threads but i didn't succeed.
    I made this code:
    display.setCurrent(perform);               
            new Thread(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {               
                    while((!performing.isShown()) && (backgroundCamera.isShown())){
                        Thread.yield();
                    notifyAll();
            }).start();
            new Thread(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {
                    try {
                        this.wait();                   
                    } catch(Exception e) {
                        exceptionHandler(e);
                    photo = camera.snapshot();                               
                    display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
            }).start();This code is sometimes showing performing screen but sometimes no.
    I don't know why. In my opinion performing.isShown() method isn't working correctly.
    Does anyone have some idea how to use threads here?

    Hi,
    I've finally managed to work this fine.
    The code:
           Object o = new Object();
           display.setCurrent(perform);               
            new Thread(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {               
                    while(!performing.isShown()){
                        Thread.yield();
                   synchronized(o) {
                      o.notify();
            }).start();
            new Thread(new Runnable(){
                public void run() {
                    try {
                        synchronized(o) {
                           o.wait(1);
                    } catch(Exception e) {
                        exceptionHandler(e);
                    photo = camera.snapshot();                               
                    display.setCurrent(displayPhoto);
            }).start();

  • Problem with threads hanging

    We have a problem where our application stops responding after a few days of usage. Things will for fine for a day or two, and then pretty quickly threads will start getting hung up, usually in places where they are allocating memory
    We are running WebLogic 8.1 SP2 on Sun JDK 1.4.2_04 on Solaris 8 using the alternate threading model and the -server hotspot vm. We are running pretty much the same code that we had no problems with under WebLogic 6.1 SP4 and Sun JDK 1.3.1.
    A thread dump usually shows that some or all of our execute threads are in the state "waiting for monitor entry" even though they are not currently waiting on any java locks. Here is a sample thread from the thread dump (we have ~120 threads so I don't want to post the full dump).

    String.java line 1446 for this jdk allocates a new String object, and all the other threads in this state also are creating new objects or arrays, etc.
    We've done a pstack on this process when it's in this state, and the threads that are in the "waiting for monitor entry" that look like they're allocating memory are all waiting on the same lwp_mutex_lock with some allocation method that's calling into the native TwoGenerationCollectorPolicy.mem_allocate_work (see pstack output below for the same thread as in the thread dump above)

    Has anyone ever seen anything like this? I'm trying to figure out if this is caused by something we're doing, or something relating to our environment and jvm options. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the reply - I'm testing our app with the +UseConcMarkSweepGC now in our test environment to make sure it doesn't cause any problems there.  Unfortunately the only place we've had this problem is on the production server, so it's extra difficult debugging this. 
    We're using the following memory options:
    -ms512m -mx512m -XX:NewSize=128m -XX:PermSize=192m -XX:MaxNewSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:SurvivorRatio=8and the following debugging options, as we've also been seeing OutOfMemoryErrors ( see http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=37&thread=522354&tstart=45&trange=15 )
    -verbosegc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintHeapAtGCBTW, which c++filt version and options are you using? Our Solaris boxes only seem to have the GNU version installed. I was trying to run that on some of the other stack traces and wasn't getting anywhere, and didn't know if because it was GNU version wouldn't work on something compiled with the Sun compiler.
    Thanks!

  • Problem with threads and ProgressMonitor

    Dear Friends:
    I have a little problem with a thread and a ProgressMonitor. I have a long time process that runs in a thread (the thread is in an separate class). The thread has a ProgressMonitor that works fine and shows the tasks progress.
    But I need deactivate the main class(the main class is the user interface) until the thread ends.
    I use something like this:
    LongTask myTask=new LongTask();
    myTask.start();
    myTask.join();
    Now, the main class waits for the task to end, but the progress monitor don`t works fine: it shows only the dialog but not the progress bar.
    What's wrong?

    Is the dialog a modal dialog? This can block other UI updates.
    In general, you should make sure that it isn't modal, and that your workThread has a fairly low priority so that the UI can do its updating

  • Problem with threads and/or memory

    I'm developing an application where there are 3 threads. One of them sends a request to the other, and if the 2nd can't answer it, it sends it to the 3rd (similar to CPU -> CACHE -> MEMORY). When i run the program with 1000-10.000 requests, no problem occurs. When i run it with 300.000-1.000.000 requests, it sometimes hangs. Is this a problem with the garbage collector, or should it be related to the threads mecanism.
    (note: eache thread is in execution using a finite state machine)

    i had been running the program inside Netbeans.
    Running the jar using the command line outside
    Netbeans i have no more problems... Does Netbeans use
    it's own JVM?Depends how you set it up, but look under the options. There are settings for the compiler and jvm that it uses.
