I have another CLOB question, what is the best way to do a search-and-replace?

Something like a c/oldvalue/newvvalue/ on the SQL*Plus command line, or $variable =~ s/oldvalue/newvalue/; in Perl.

The only thing I can think of right now would be using INSTR to locate the value I want, SUBSTR to extract the parts of the document either side of it, then APPEND to create a new CLOB with first part, new value, last part... but this seems a bit inelegant.

Thanks,

g

A computer program will always do what you tell it to do, but rarely what you want it to do.
