Thanks in advanceWell, the fact that the word documents have been stored in a CLOB in the first place means that they have probably been corrupted (the binary data of the word documents has not been stored in a binary compatible format). If you can read the documents on your 9.2.0.8 instance, I would suggest getting them out of there a.s.a.p. and backing them up, then reload them into BLOB columns on your new instance so they are stored properly.

hi
tell me some thong how we can convert clob to blobYou can use my procedure

-- transforming CLOB â BLOB
l_off number default 1;

BASE64 (PDF) CLOB to BLOB
Hello everybody! I have to convert a BASE64 representation of a PDF file to BLOB. I found one example on the Internet but there is something wrong with it and I can't figure it out.
create or replace function decode_base64(p_clob_in in clob) return blob is
v_blob blob;
v_offset integer;
v_buffer_varchar varchar2(32000);
v_buffer_raw raw(32000);
v_buffer_size binary_integer := 32000;
begin
if p_clob_in is null then
return null;
end if;
dbms_lob.CREATETEMPORARY(v_blob, true);
v_offset := 1;
FOR i IN 1..CEIL(dbms_lob.GETLENGTH(p_clob_in) / v_buffer_size)
loop
dbms_lob.READ(p_clob_in, v_buffer_size, v_offset, v_buffer_varchar);
v_buffer_raw := utl_encode.BASE64_DECODE(utl_raw.CAST_TO_RAW(v_buffer_varchar));*
dbms_lob.WRITEAPPEND(v_blob, utl_raw.LENGTH(v_buffer_raw), v_buffer_raw);
v_offset := v_offset v_buffer_size;+
end loop;
return v_blob;
end decode_base64;
The above procedure should work with files of any size (since there is a loop), but it only works when the PDF is smaller than 32 KB.Just a guess.
You may have additional CRLFs added when encoding.
Try this:
create or replace function replaceClob (opCLob CLOB,cpReplaceStr VARCHAR2,cpReplaceWith VARCHAR2) RETURN CLOB IS
cBuffer VARCHAR2 (32767);
nBuffer BINARY_INTEGER := 32767;
nStart PLS_INTEGER := 1;
nLen PLS_INTEGER;
oCRtn CLOB := EMPTY_CLOB;
BEGIN
DBMS_LOB.CreateTemporary(oCRtn,TRUE);
nLen := DBMS_LOB.GetLength(opCLob);
WHILE nStart < nLen
LOOP
DBMS_LOB.Read(opCLob, nBuffer, nStart, cBuffer);
IF cBuffer IS NOT NULL THEN
cBuffer := REPLACE(cBuffer, cpReplaceStr, cpReplaceWith);
DBMS_LOB.WriteAppend(oCRtn, LENGTH(cBuffer), cBuffer);
END IF;
nStart := nStart + nBuffer;
END LOOP;
RETURN oCRtn;
END;and then add to your code:
create or replace function decode_base64(p_clob_in in clob) return blob is
v_blob blob;
v_offset integer;
v_tem_clob clob;
v_buffer_varchar varchar2(32000);
v_buffer_raw raw(32000);
v_buffer_size binary_integer := 32000;
--v_buffer_size binary_integer := 3*1024;
begin
if p_clob_in is null then
return null;
end if;
-- Add this line
v_tem_clob := replaceClob(p_clob_in,UTL_TCP.CRLF,'');
dbms_lob.CREATETEMPORARY(v_blob, true);
v_offset := 1;
FOR i IN 1..CEIL(dbms_lob.GETLENGTH(v_tem_clob) / v_buffer_size) loop
dbms_lob.READ(v_tem_clob, v_buffer_size, v_offset, v_buffer_varchar);
v_buffer_raw := utl_encode.BASE64_DECODE(utl_raw.CAST_TO_RAW(v_buffer_varchar));
dbms_lob.WRITEAPPEND(v_blob, utl_raw.LENGTH(v_buffer_raw), v_buffer_raw);
v_offset := v_offset + v_buffer_size;
end loop;
return v_blob;
end decode_base64;Not tested.

?Working with clob and blob - using Dbms_Lob
I need to search through a blob and remove some of the data, but having problems working with dbms_lob.erase.
Reading the documentation, the procedure is supposed to work with either blobs or clobs, but I can't get it to work with the blob.
Here's what I've coded and it does not work correctly for blobs.
What have I've done wrong?

Anyone know an easy way to convert clob data to blob data?
We upgraded a client to 8.1.7.2 and now we can no longer store MS-Word templates to the RDBMS.
I deduce this is because MS-Word templates are binary files.
Earlier versions of 8.1.7 and 8.1.6 allowed us to do this. However, this is no longer the case.
Some of my clob rows are over 6 meg.
I have written some PL/SQL code to basically retrieve the clob data in cursor, loops through the clob in 32767 blocks,
performing dbms_lob.substr, converts that data to hex(major pain), & then write the blocks using dbmbs_lob.write.
I keep getting the proverbial "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: invalid LOB locator specified: ORA-22275".
Does anyone see flaws in my approach and might have an easier solution?
Thanks!Here's my code:

How we handle CLOB and BLOB Datatypes in HANA DB
Dear HANA Gurus,
We have would like to build EDW using HANA base on our source system Oracle and it's supports CLOB and BLOB datatypes
Would you please suggest how do we handle in HANA DB.
Let not say it's oracle specific.
Regards,
ManojHello,
check SAP HANA SQL Reference Guide for list of data types:
(page 14 - Classification of Data Types)
https://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000604922011
For this purpose might be useful following data types:
Large Object (LOB) Types
LOB (large objects) data types, CLOB, NCLOB and BLOB, are used to store a large amount of data such as text documents and images. The maximum size of an LOB is 2 GB.
BLOB
The BLOB data type is used to store large binary data.
CLOB
The CLOB data type is used to store large ASCII character data.
NCLOB
The NCLOB data type is used to store a large Unicode character object.

Which is the best datatype to use that will hold an input stream or byte stream, CLOB or BLOB?
Thank you.Saber wrote:

Thank you.CLOB is for character data ... so you'd want a BLOB.

What happened? Was the database created improperly? Is there a way to correct this without recreating the database?
ThanksI just created a new database using dbca with General
Purpose as the template, as I've done before. All
went well until I tried to create tables that used
clob or blob datatypes. I kept getting the error

I have the same problem but only if I assign a tablespace to the table but not if i leave it to the default tablespace. -
How to convert CLOB to BLOB with SQL Developer migration wizard?
Hi,
According to our requirement, we need to only migrate data from SQL Server 2008 to Oracle 11. I use the SQL Developer 3.0.04 migration wizard to do it.
I do migration from SQL Server (database name: SCDS41P2) to Oracle (User name: HCDS41P2).
My migration steps are as below: (I need to modify the target schema, so I add the steps 2) and step 3) )
1) Do migration by SQL Developer migration wizard;
2) Remove the Converted Database Objects node from migration project;
3) Re-do convert by SQL Developer migration wizard (contains changing the target schema);
When do step 1), the DBO_SCDS41P2 user is created automatically. CLOBTOBLOB_SQLDEVELOPER procedure is also created in this user.
I continued to run step 2) and step 3) with online mode. And find the table data which contains BLOB column can be moved into the target table. But from the Logging Page, I can't see the other detailed error info, so that I can't check which tables don't move data successfully.
Could you please tell me where the detail log file (e.g. contains every table's migration status) is if I use the online mode?
Additional, If I use offline mode to do step 3), I found the CLOB data can't be converted into BLOB automatically. Because in the load script (that is oracle_ctl.bat), only copy the source data to the CLOB column. After copy, it don't deal with the converting from CLOB to BLOB.
So could you please tell me how to convert CLOB to BLOB with offline mode?
Thanks so much.Hi,
For your first question about logging - after the migration there will be an entry in the right hand panel for the migration project. If you open this there are various fields that give information about the status of each part of the migration. Does this give you the information you need ?
For the second problem about offline moving blob data have a look at the SQL*Developer documentation -
Oracle® SQL Developer User’s Guide Release 3.0
in the section -
2.2.8.1.4 Populating the Destination Database Using the Data Files
which describes the problem and how to get round it.
Regards,
Mike

My customer wants to store a PDF in a database colomn...
Which is better, CLOB or BLOB? Why?Why not just store the PDF in an o/s location andjust store a file reference on the database to keep
things simple?
But then you run the risk of losing the document one
day since database backup and recovery will not be
able to backup and restore this external reference.Indeed Kamal, and that's why I said it depends on the requirements. Can depend on many factors including where documents are originally stored and what backup strategy is in place for the servers etc. We'd have to look at the whole requirements, but that's out of scope of the original question here. ;) -
