Hi All!

Please excuse this very elementary question, but...

What is the best way to accomplish something like:

SELECT id FROM MyTable
WHERE ClobField LIKE '%XxxYxx%';

where ClobField is, of course, a CLOB. I see that I cannot do it with a simple select since what is in the field is the object locator and not the characters themselves. But is there a *relatively* simple way to do the same thing via sql or pl/sql?

TIA!!
Bill
