Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Restrictions returning a Long field
There is a pl/sql limit of 32k for long columns, you must parse it into a piece-wise transaction to pull all the information out of it. It's one of the reasons Oracle switched to LOB's... Long's are just so difficult to work with.
How to make it a piece-wise transaction is a little beyond my knowledge... maybe one of the other guru's can help here.

Subject: Restrictions returning a Long field
Hi People,
Does anyone know of a database parameter (or any other reason) in a 7.1.6 database that would restrict the amount of data returned from a long field? We have an application that won't show any data over 32K from a long field. I'm thinking the problem is on the application side somewhere, but the programmer responsible for it claims Oracle is only delivering 32K of the long field to the application and we should look to the database. The only thing I could find that sounds like it might even remotely affect this is the db_block_buffers, and that's already at 5000, but I don't have all the books and could have easily overlooked something. Anyone have any ideas?
Regina
