VLD-2550 and 2551: CLOB datatype errors

Hi All
I've been trying to solve thi sproblem but have not been able to find a solution.
Basically I have a Col1 (of table A) of clob datatype which is to be mapped to Col2 (table B).
But when I validate the map I get the error:
VLD-2550 : BLOB,CLOB or NBLOB data from remote source cannot have transformations (validation details : If you have CLOB,BLOB as remote data source, it must be directly mapped to a target entity)
and
VLD-2551: BLOB LCOB or NBLOB from remote data source must have generation mode set to SET-BASED.
My map has a one to one mapping between the cols of tables A and B. Col1 is directly linked to Col2 (if thats what is meant by no transformations for CLOb types)
Thanks a lot

Hi ,
If your source table (which have the CLOB ) is in remote machine then you need to configure the mapping in SET base mode and you should directly connect that source column to the target column .
If you still get those kind of validation waring then simple ignore them .
It is a defect in OWB . Refer Bug 5989066 : VALIDATION OF MAP WITH BLOB OBJECTS THROWS VLD-2550 AND VLD-2551 WARNINGS , which is yet to be fixed .
Thanks,
Sutirtha

  • How to copy a table with LONG and CLOB datatype over a dblink?

    Hi All,
    I need to copy a table from an external database into a local one. Note that this table has both LONG and CLOB datatypes included.
    I have taken 2 approaches to do this:
    1. Use the CREATE TABLE AS....
    SQL> create table XXXX_TEST as select * from XXXX_INDV_DOCS@ext_db;
    create table XXXX_TEST as select * from XXXX_INDV_DOCS@ext_db
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00997: illegal use of LONG datatype
    2. After reading some threads I tried to use the COPY command:
    SQL> COPY FROM xxxx/pass@ext_db TO xxxx/pass@target_db REPLACE XXXX_INDV_DOCS USING SELECT * FROM XXXX_INDV_DOCS;
    Array fetch/bind size is 15. (arraysize is 15)
    Will commit when done. (copycommit is 0)
    Maximum long size is 80. (long is 80)
    CPY-0012: Datatype cannot be copied
    If my understanding is correct the 1st statement fails because there is a LONG datatype in XXXX_INDV_DOCS table and 2nd one fails because there is a CLOB datatype.
    Is there a way to copy the entire table (all columns including both LONG and CLOB) over a dblink?
    Would greatelly appriciate any workaround or ideas!
    Regards,
    Pawel.

    Hi Nicolas,
    There is a reason I am not using export/import:
    - I would like to have a one-script solution for this problem (meaning execute one script on one machine)
    - I am not able to make an SSH connection from the target DB to the local one (although the otherway it works fine) which means I cannot copy the dump file from target server to local one.
    - with export/import I need to have an SSH connection on the target DB in order to issue the exp command...
    Therefore, I am looking for a solution (or a workaround) which will work over a DBLINK.
    Regards,
    Pawel.

  • Error in CLOB datatype for transfering data from Excel to Oracle database

    Am using excel sheet as source and Oracle as target Database.
    For all tables the operations works smoothly except for tables containing CLOB datatype.
    Initially i have used SQL Developer to transfer some data into excell sheets, now i want to transfer those file's data into another Oracle Database.
    What other options do i have?
    Is excel not the right tool to transfer CLOB datatypes?

    well,
    I couldn't suggest an excel to do it...
    You can go from Oracle to Oracle with the PL/SQL IKM. It works fine.
    Does it help you?

  • A clob datatype and LogMiner question?

    HI,
    I am using Logminer to caputer all DMLs agaist rows with clob datatype, find a problem.
    --log in as scott/tiger
    conn scott/tiger
    SQL> desc clobtest
    Name Null? Type
    SNO NUMBER
    CLOBTYPE CLOB
    --make a update
    update clobtest set CLOBTYPE = 'Hello New York' where sno = 11;
    commit;
    after using LogMiner to analyze redo log files, to query.
    select sql_redo from v$logmnr_contents where username = 'SCOTT';
    update "SCOTT"."CLOBTEST" set "CLOBTYPE" = 'Hello New York' where and ROWID = 'AAD0ZqAAEAAAAhsAAC';
    My quesion:
    As to caputured DML
    update "SCOTT"."CLOBTEST" set "CLOBTYPE" = 'Hello New York' where and ROWID = 'AAD0ZqAAEAAAAhsAAC';
    it shows "where and", why there is missing after where clause????? --(anyway, I can overcome this by using REGEXP_REPLACE(sql_redo,'where and','where ')
    Thanks

    I checked logminer documetation:
    http://74.125.93.132/search?q=cache:19bBhYX3Xs4J:download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/logminer.htm+NOTE:LogMiner+does+not+support+these+datatypes+and+table+storage+attributes:&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
    it says 10GR2 support LOB datatype.
    but why "where clause" omit the clob datatype column (becaume "where and rowid")????

  • Clob DataType, NULL and ADO

    Hello,
    First, I'm french so my english isn't very good
    I have a problem with Oracle Clob DataType. When I try to put NULL value to
    CLOB DataType with ADO, changes aren't not made.
    rs.open "SELECT ....", adocn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
    rs.Fields("ClobField") = Null ' In this case, the Update doesn't work
    rs.update
    rs.Close
    This code works if I try to write a value which is different than Null but
    not if is equal to Null. Instead of having Null, I have the old value
    (before changes), the update of the field doesn't work.

    I experience the same, did you find a solution to your problem?
    Kind regards,
    Roel de Bruyn

  • Long and  clob datatype

    Hello Gurus
    we are working on oracle 8.1.4.0.in our database i have a table that contain a long column and a clob cloumn. i need backup of this table so that i can create the same table with data in other schema. Is there any recommmanded way. Can use copy or i need to use an export backup .
    thanks

    If possible, try to upgrade your long columns to lob. Working with long columns will severely limit the possibilities of adopting new features. It would have been easier to use the
    ALTER TABLE MOVE ... command.

  • Problem on CLOB datatype after import

    I got problem and call to Oracle support and they use DUL for extract data from datafile to dump file and I import everything is done and no error but when I check in CLOB datatype that have space(blank character) separate each character see below
    Original
    Oracle
    After Import
    O R A C L E
    So the application cannot execute those data.
    Anyone have solution how to fix this problem?
    Thanks,
    Taohiko

    if you use a direct insert you are restricted to 4000 characters.
    You can put your value in a varchar2 variable and that allows you to insert up to 32767 characters.
    declare
    my_clob_variable := rpad('x','X',25000);
    begin
    insert into my_table(my_clob_column)
    values(my_clob_variable);
    end;

  • QUERYING CLOB DATATYPE

    Hello Everyone,
    Before I go to my question let me give you the context. I wanted to upload the description of a set of products with their IDs into my database. Hence I created a table 'demo' with two columns of INT and CLOB datatypes using the following script. *create table demo ( id int primary key, theclob Clob );*
    Then I create a directory using the following script, *Create Or Replace Directory MY_FILES as 'C:\path of the folder.......\';*
    In the above mentioned directory I create one .txt file for each product with the description of the product. Using the below script I created a procedure to load the contents of the .txt files into my 'demo' table.
    *CREATE OR REPLACE*
    *PROCEDURE LOAD_A_FILE( P_ID IN NUMBER, P_FILENAME IN VARCHAR2 ) AS*
    *L_CLOB CLOB;*
    *L_BFILE BFILE;*
    *BEGIN*
    *INSERT INTO DEMO VALUES ( P_ID, EMPTY_CLOB() )*
    *RETURNING THECLOB INTO L_CLOB;*
    *L_BFILE := BFILENAME( 'MY_FILES', P_FILENAME );*
    *DBMS_LOB.FILEOPEN( L_BFILE );*
    *DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE( L_CLOB, L_BFILE,*
    *DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH( L_BFILE ) );*
    *DBMS_LOB.FILECLOSE( L_BFILE );*
    *END;*
    After which I called the procedure using, *exec load_a_file(1, 'filename.txt' );*
    When I queried the table like, select * from demo; I am getting the following output..... which is all fine.
    ID THECLOB
    1 "product x is an excellent way to improve your production process and enhance your turnaround time....."
    _*QUESTION*_
    When I did the exact same thing in my friend's machine and query the demo table, I get garbage value in the 'theclob' column (as shown below). The only difference is that mine is an enterprise edition of Oracle 11.2.0.1 and my friends is an Express edition of Oracle 11.2.0.2. Does this has anything to do with the problem?

    To make sure that the .txt files are accessible in the directory I executed the following script, Host Echo Hello World > C:\...path...\1.Txt
    After which I found the contents of the file changed to "Hello World". Later I loaded the .txt file with "Hello World" and queried the table. Still I am getting some garbage value. However since the string "Hello World" is much smaller than the previous contents, the garbage size is also smaller for ID 1. I don't get any errors, but you can see the output as follows.

    The most common problem I have seen using BFILEs is the character set; BFILEs do NOT handle character set conversion.
    That is the main reason I don't recommend using BFILEs for loading data like this. Either SQL*Loader or external tables can do the job and they both handle character set conversions properly.
    See the LOADFROMFILE Procedure of DBMS_LOB package in the PL/SQL Language doc
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28419/d_lob.htm#i998778
    >
    Note:
    The input BFILE must have been opened prior to using this procedure. No character set conversions are performed implicitly when binary BFILE data is loaded into a CLOB. The BFILE data must already be in the same character set as the CLOB in the database. No error checking is performed to verify this.
    Note:
    If the character set is varying width, UTF-8 for example, the LOB value is stored in the fixed-width UCS2 format. Therefore, if you are using DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE, the data in the BFILE should be in the UCS2 character set instead of the UTF-8 character set. However, you should use sql*loader instead of LOADFROMFILE to load data into a CLOB or NCLOB because sql*loader will provide the necessary character set conversions.
    >
    I suggest you use an external table definition to do this load. You can do an ALTER to change the file name for each load.
    See External Tables Concepts in the Utilities doc for the basics
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28319/et_concepts.htm
    See Altering External Tables in the DBA doc for detailed information

  • Passing CLOB datatype to a stored procedure

    I have not used the DESTROY option myself but what I can see from imp help=y, I assume that this option goes with the TRANSPORT_TABLESPACE option where you are exporting tablespaces (with their datafiles) and then importing the same to another instance or so. This option might allow you to overwrite any datafile that was existing with the same name.
    DESTROY overwrite tablespace data file (N)

  • CLOB datatype

    I need to have several columns in a table say 14 which would each hold around 8k of data.
    Now i want a solution for creating the table and retrieving data from that particular table.
    I want this solution to be as simple as possible. No triggers and no procedures.
    Some one please help urgently

    Shobana,
    Try using something like this.
    select * from clob_test
    where to_char(clob_col) like 'key%'
    It depends on the datatype you are inserting
    into that column.
    I actually don't what CLOB datatype is
    since you are comparing with a char datatype
    this should work.

    Hi,
    I have a CLOB datatype column in a table and I want to select few rows from that table by comparing that column with some static value as mentioned below. How can I do that?
    create table clob_test( clob_col clob );
    insert into clob_test values('keys');
    insert into clob_test values('key board');
    insert into clob_test values('monitor');
    commit;
    I want something like :-
    select * from clob_test where clob_col like 'key%' to get 2 rows. This doesn't work. Gives an error as 'Inconsistent datatypes'
    Casting also doesn't work.
    This doesn't work. Is there any other way for this problem (other than DBMS_LOB package)?
    Would be great if any of you can help me out.
    Thanks in advance<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

  • CLOB datatype usage

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement where the value of a item can exceed 4000 characters and is using a "html editor standard" item type. So I used clob datatype to store the value of this item in the database. When the value is more than 32512 bytes, I get an error "Bad Request
    Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
    mod_plsql: /pls/apex/wwv_flow.accept HTTP-400 Value param too long. Length is 63658. Upper limit is 32512".
    But when the value of the item is less than 32512 and more than 27000 characters or so, I get another error "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
         Error      ERR-1023 Unable perform validations. "
    When the item value is less than 25000 bytes or so, I do not get any error and functions properly.
    Is there any way I could remove the second error.
    Thanks,

    Hi Hari,
    Ya I know, uploading a document would make more sense, but our requirement is that the end user is going to write in a text area ( we provide an item which is a "html editor standard"). So wanted to know if there is any way to do so.
    And about the error, created a simple plsql region and entered this as the source
    DECLARE
    CURSOR gn_cur IS
    SELECT gn.*
    FROM test_clob gn
    WHERE gn.ID = :P8_id;
    r_rec test_clob%ROWTYPE;
    BEGIN
    OPEN gn_cur;
    FETCH gn_cur INTO r_rec;
    CLOSE gn_cur;
    HTP.P('<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="75%" align=center border=0>
    <TR>
    <TD>
    '||r_rec.test_col||'
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>');
    END;
    where test_clob was the table and test_col was the clob column. When the column value had around 7000 characters, I did not get any error and the value was displayed in the page, but when the column value had around 20000+ characters, I got that numeric or value error.
    Thanks,

  • CLOB Datatype with JDBC Adapter

    Hi,
    we try to fill a Clob Datatype to JDBC Database.
    We try 2 ways with the JDBC Adapter:
    action="SQL_DML" with an SQL Statment and $placeholders$
    But how can i say the key element that it is a CLOB type?
    He used this a VARCHAR and there a not more than 4k Chars allowed.
    second way is action="EXECUTE" to call a Stored Procedure, but there we got the error that CLOB type is an Unsupported feature.
    Any Idea?
    Regards,
    Robin

    Ok i will check this...
    But i'm right when i say that the only way to fill CLOB Type is to use a Stored Procedure ?
    or is there any possibility to do this with action="SQL_DML" ?
