Updating a CLOB column using C++ with ATL

Hello,
I have tables with a single CLOB or BLOB colum with the rest of the columns of type VARCHAR2.
I'm getting a result of E_FAIL when updating a single row, for which I'm attempting to change one of the VARCHAR2 columns and the CLOB column. If I set the status for the CLOB column to DBSTATUS_S_IGNORE, the update succeeds (for the other column). If I set the status for all other columns to DBSTATUS_S_IGNORE and the status for the CLOB column to DBSTATUS_S_OK, it still fails.
If I use a SQL Server data source with the same schema and the same C++ code, the original update succeeds.
The length of the data I'm attempting to store is 11487 characters.
As near as I can tell, the Oracle provider does support this kind of functionality. Perhaps there is some coding variation needed for the Oracle data source. I have so far been unable to find a suitable example (or any code example for the Oracle provider using C++/ATL).
I'm using Oracle 9i Release 2 with the latest OLE DB provider (9.2.0.2.0).
Thanks,

Some additional information on the problem:
I was using the ISequentialStream interface
with a Dynamic Accessor when the problem
occurred.
Since then I've tried using a SQL command to do
the update... and I've found the 11487 characters
is too long... I get a maximum length error when
I try the command in SQL+. (BTW, SQL Server works
fine with the long command.)
I doubt that the length is the reason for the failure
of the update using the ISequentialStream interface.
I'm just looking for something that works. Right
now, the only thing that works is not to do the
update at all, but instead do delete/insert. I'd
like to find a better solution than that.

Update of CLOB column issue

I am not sure if this is the correct forum for this question, so please forgive if this is posted in wrong forum.
I am new to working with CLOBs in Oracle. The procedure updates a CLOB column which stores large XML files. The XML files are first moved to the /u04 directory, then we execute the procedure which looks for the XML in /u04, then uses those XML files to update the CLOB column.
The procure works fine in our development environment, but doesn't work in our System Test box. No exceptions are thrown in Sys Test, but when we check the CLOB column it's NULL/empty.
Both Dev and Sys Test environments are on the same physical server.
Is there something in the database setup I should be looking for which may cause this difference in functionality?
Code is below. I'm sure it could be better but this is my first go-around with CLOBs.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
--open CLOB used to clear out old XML in CLOB column
   dbms_lob.open(v_pre_clob, dbms_lob.lob_readwrite);
   -- prep XML CLOB column for update
   UPDATE REPORT_TBL
      SET REPORT_XML = v_pre_clob
    WHERE REPORT_ID = p_rep_id;
   --Close pre-update CLOB
   dbms_lob.close(v_pre_clob);
   --get a reference to the XML CLOB that needs to be updated
   select report_xml
     into v_clob
     from report_tbl
    where report_id = p_rep_id for update;
   --open the target CLOB and source report xml file in /u04
   dbms_lob.open(v_clob, dbms_lob.lob_readwrite);
   dbms_lob.open(v_report_xml_file);
   --Load the contents of the xml file in /u04 into the CLOB column
   dbms_lob.loadclobfromfile(v_clob, v_xml_file,
                             dbms_lob.lobmaxsize,
                             v_destination_offset, v_source_offset,
                             nls_charset_id('US7ASCII'),
                             v_language_context, v_warning_message);
   --Check for the only possible warning message.
   if v_warning_message = dbms_lob.warn_inconvertible_char then
        dbms_output.put_line('Warning! Some characters couldn''t be converted.');
   end if;
   --Close both LOBs
   dbms_lob.close(v_clob);
   dbms_lob.close(v_xml_file);
   null;
   EXCEPTION
      WHEN OTHERS THEN
         v_return_code := SQLCODE;
         v_return_mesg := SQLERRM;
         DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('PROCEDURE update_xml_from_file');
         DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('RETURN_CODE = ' || v_return_code);
         DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('RETURN_MESG = ' || v_return_mesg);

Sorry, pulled that code from development where it was working.
The issue was the GRANT on the /u04 directory.

Oh wait, you can't, because I haven't given you nearly enough information...
In other words, if you would like help in trying to work out where you've gone wrong, you should provide a small enough example of your code that demonstrates the error. We might then actually stand a chance of being able to help you!

SQL LOADER: how to load CLOB column using stored function

Hi,
I am a newbie of sql loader. Everything seems to be fine until I hit a
road block - the CLOB column type. I want to load data into the clob
column using a stored function. I need to do some manipulation on the
data before it gets saved to that column. But I got this error when I
run the sql loader.
SQL*Loader-309: No SQL string allowed as part of "DATA" field
specification
DATA is my CLOB type column.
here is the content of the control file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'test.csv'
BADFILE 'test.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'test.dsc'
REPLACE
INTO TABLE test_table
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
codeid          BOUNDFILLER,
reason          BOUNDFILLER,
Checkstamp     "to_date(:CHECKSTAMP, 'mm/dd/yyyy')",
"DATA"          "GetContent(:codeid, :reason)"
All references are suggesting to use a file to load data on
CLOB column but I want to use a function in which it generates
the content to be saved into the column.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Update table a columns using columns from table b (values of 2 columns of table b need to taken from table c)

Guys,
I need to update table A columns col3, col4, col5 and col6 by table b columns col3, col4, col5 and col6 however table b col5 and col6 values need to come from table c col1.
Means table b col5 and col6 have values in it however i need to replace them with value from table c col1 and need to update table a col5 and col6 accordingly.
table a and table b has col1 and col2 in common.
i am trying something like this.
Update a
a.col3 = b.col3,
a.col4 = b.col4,
a.col5 = (select col1 from table_c c where c.col2=b.col5),
a.col6 = (select col1 from table_c c where c.col2=b.col6)
from table_A a inner join table_b
on a.col1=b.col1 and a.col2=b.col2
can someone help me reframe above update query?
thanks in advance for your help.

Try the below:(If you have multiple values, then you may need to use TOP 1 as commented code in the below script)
create Table tableA(Col1 int,Col2 int,Col3 int,Col4 int,Col5 int,Col6 int)
Insert into tableA values(1,2,3,4,5,6)
create Table tableB(Col1 int,Col2 int,Col3 int,Col4 int,Col5 int,Col6 int)
Insert into tableB values(1,2,30,40,50,60)
create Table tableC(Col1 int,Col2 int,Col3 int,Col4 int,Col5 int,Col6 int)
Insert into tableC values(100,50,30,40,2,2)
--Insert into tableC values(200,50,30,40,2,2)
Insert into tableC values(100,60,30,40,2,2)
Select * From tablea
Update a Set
a.col3 = b.col3,
a.col4 = b.col4,
a.col5 = (select col1 from tablec c where c.col2=b.col5 ),
a.col6 = (select col1 from tablec c where c.col2=b.col6 )
from tableA a inner join tableb b
on a.col1=b.col1 and a.col2=b.col2
--Update a Set
--a.col3 = b.col3,
--a.col4 = b.col4,
--a.col5 = (select Top 1 col1 from tablec c where c.col2=b.col5 Order by c.Col1 asc),
--a.col6 = (select Top 1 col1 from tablec c where c.col2=b.col6 Order by c.Col1 asc)
--from tableA a inner join tableb b
--on a.col1=b.col1 and a.col2=b.col2
Select * From tablea
Drop table tablea,Tableb,TableC

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.

Data updated by another user when trying to update a CLOB column value

I just recently upgraded to version 1.2.1 (Build MAIN-32.13), and since I have, I am now getting this message when editing the text within a CLOB column of a table:
Data you attempted to update was updated by another user. You will have to rollback and refresh the table. Rollback now?
I am confident that no one else is in the table, as I am the only one connected to this DB right now. Also, I have shut down SQL Developer completely and restarted it. Again, I get the same error.
Also, the CLOB is less than 2500 characters, so it's not a limitation with the 4k chars.
I really can't update it easily via SQL because there is formatting in the text (carriage
returns, etc).
Any ideas? Any workarounds?
Thanks,
-Vikki

OK. A few things I've noticed as I've played with it more.
1 - It does not happen on EVERY update to a CLOB. (Some save successfully.)
2 - Once I get it on a CLOB, it seems to happen then on every subsequent CLOB.
3 - It's not just one table -- several tables do it.
4 - It's not even just updating CLOB columns -- I just had it happen on a varchar2 column where there is also a CLOB in the table.
Thank you for the instructions on how to see the debug console. Here is what I got as an exception (and sorry for the line wrapping):

Update multiple rows & columns using a single statement

I have the following table with tablename - emp
first_name last_name age
aaa bbb 31
56
78
ggg hhh 36
2nd & 3rd row contain null values (no data) in first_name & last_name column . I want to update those two rows with data using a single statement. How do I do it?
I was thinking may be something like the following:-
UPDATE emp
SET first_name= , last_name=
CASE
WHEN age = 56 THEN 'ccc', 'ddd'
WHEN age = 78 THEN 'eee', 'fff'
ELSE first_name, last_name
END

Extrapolate that to 255 components and you get 254 + 255 = 509 components. And so on...

Updating a blob column using a ResultSet

Hi,
I'm using jdeveloper 3.2.3 with a 9i database and the smartupload component to save file in a blob column.
I'm using the following code
String sSql0 = "SELECT DOCUMENT.NEXTVAL FROM DUAL";
oracle.jbo.html.jsp.JSPApplicationRegistry appRegistry = oracle.jbo.html.jsp.JSPApplicationRegistry.getInstance();
appRegistry.registerApplicationFromPropertyFile(session,"dgpa_bd_BdModule");
ApplicationModule am = appRegistry.getAppModuleInstance("dgpa_bd_BdModule",request,session);
ApplicationModuleImpl appMod = (ApplicationModuleImpl)am;
PreparedStatement stmt1 = appMod.getDBTransaction().createPreparedStatement(sSql0, 1);
String sSql2 = "SELECT t.* FROM TGTDOCD0 t WHERE IDOCUMEN = 32";
Statement stmt2 = stmt1.getConnection().createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY ,ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
ResultSet rs = stmt2.executeQuery(sSql2);
if (rs.next()) {
// Initialization
mySmartUpload.initialize(pageContext);
// Upload
mySmartUpload.upload();
// Add the current file in the DB field
mySmartUpload.getFiles().getFile(0).fileToField(rs,"gdocumen"); //gdocumen is the blob column
// Update
rs.updateRow();
rs.close();
stmt2.close();
But when i run the rs.updateRow() i have the follwing error: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01008
what's i'm doing wrong?
Thanks
RJC

Where is the image coming from? Are you getting it from a file? User Upload?
Here is an example using a procedure in Oracle to upload a file to a blob..: http://technologydribble.info/index.php/category/load-file-into-blob/

You know, um…I used to think that it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe

Currently, we have the normal update statement (updating as a varchr value) in a .sql file. but running the .sql file, throws the following error:
SP2-0042: unknown command "</script>" - rest of line ignored.
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "<script ty..." - rest of line ignored.
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "where EXT..." - rest of line ignored.
For a work-around, we are updating the column through TOAD --> Schema Browser--> Data tab. But, this TOAD way is appearing to be error prone, though it works.
Can anybody help us in modifying the update statement so that it can directly be run from the .sql file and the spacing/ new lines are preserved.
Thanks in Advance.

I'm not 100% sure i understand your problem, is this of any help?

Update workflow status column using PowerShell

Hi All,
Using PowerShell i want to update the 'Document Status' column as 'Approved' if it is 'Pending' when it is approved and Task Status is = 'Completed'
Intermittently my custom workflow is not updating the 'Document Status' column as 'Approved' though it is approved and Task Status is = 'Completed'
So I thought about running a PowerShell script to work around it.
Can you please help me for the script.
Thanks & Regards
MD.Liakath ali

Hi,
The following PowerShell script for your reference:
$SPWeb = Get-SPWeb http://site
$List = $SPWeb.Lists["ListName"]
$items = $List.Items
foreach ($item in $items) {
$taskStatus = $item["Task Status"]
$docStatus = $item["Document Status"]
if ($taskStatus -eq "Completed" -and $docStatus -eq "Pending")
$item["Document Status"] = "Approved"
$item.Update()
$list.Update()
$SPWeb.Dispose()
If the 'Document Status' column is "Approval Status" column and your workflow is an approval workflow, the following articles may be helpful:

How to update the COST column using another table's column

Dear All,
I have table:
table parts: pno, pname, qoh, price, olevel
table orders: ono, cno, eno, received, shipped
table odetails: ono, pno, qty
view:orders_view: ono, cno, eno, received, shipped,sum(qty*price)order_costview:odetails_view: ono, pno, qty, (qty*price)cost
after I update the price in parts, I need to update COST and ORDER_COST too. The orders_view does not have pno, qty, and price, the odetails_view does not have price, how can I update the COST and ORDER_COST. Please help and Thanks in advance!!!
I wrote the update the price in parts:
create or replace procedure change_price(ppno in parts.pno%type, pprice in parts.price%type) as
begin
    update parts
    set price = pprice
    where pno = ppno;
end;
show errorsthis procedure works fine.
I wrote the trigger:
create or replace trigger update_orders_v
after update of price on parts
for each row
begin
    update orders_view
    set order_cost = sum(parts.(:new.price)*parts.qty)
    where parts.pno = :new.pno;
end;
show errorsIt gives me:Errors for TRIGGER UPDATE_ORDERS_V:
LINE/COL ERROR

You could add the columns to the tables and then you would need a trigger to update those columns. However, you could just as easily select the price * qty to get the cost, without creating an additional column or trigger. I have no idea what you might want to do with a global temporary table. I think you need to explain what your purpose is, before any of us can suggest the best method. Since I have already demonstrated an update with a view, I will demonstrate an update with the cost column added to the odetails table and a trigger as you asked about. Notice that you will need triggers on both tables, the one that has qty and the one that has price.

Updating a CLOB using the JDBC 8.1.6 driver

I have two issues on which comments are welcome. ( I am using the thin driver )
1. Using the JDBC 2.0 way of updating a CLOB
is not possible as the manuals state that
this can cause "serious corruption".
2. Using the Oracle specific way ( using
Oracle specific classes ), it looks like
I cant update a CLOB column without
retrieving it first.
It looks like I need a handle to the CLOB
in a CLOB object before I can update it.
This is very frustrating because in my application, we retrieve objects from a database, may keep the object in memory for
a long time and then update the object from
the in-memory copy. If I had to use the Oracle specific way of updating clobs, every
time I need to update a clob, I need to
retrieve the clob first and then update it
which runs contrary to handling of other types of columns.

Ah. I think you're referring to:
In the implementation of the Oracle JDBC drivers, this functionality is supported only for a configuration using an 8.1.6 database and 8.1.6 JDBC OCI driver. Do not use this functionality for any other configuration, as data corruption can result.
yeah, that's about what I'm seeing. Anything over 4k blows up. Hopefully the 8.1.6 driver + DBMS will fix these problems.
Has anyone out there tried it? Can we use the GetClob/GetBlob, or even the getXXXStream() methods in 8.1.6 against CLOB/BLOB columns
? I sure hope so. SQL Server and mySQL :-)drivers can both handle it.
