Hello everyone
-

I'm
fiddling with CLOB code for the first time. I have to write a function that will accept a long string of characters from an external application and store it in a CLOB field.
Seems
to me that since the character data is coming from an outside application, the only format I can declare the function to accept is VARCHAR2, in 32K chunks. For example, if it was another PL/SQL module calling this function then I could format and pass in a CLOB. But since it isn't, my only choice is VARCHAR2.
If
someone could either validate my train of thought here or set me straight I would sure appreciate it.
