JP,

No, but you can make multiple 4000 char strings and concat it all together:

sel1 varchar2(4000);
sel2 varchar2(4000);
where_clause varchar2(4000);
order_by_clause varchar2(4000);
begin

open my_cursor for sel1 || sel2 || where_clause || order_by_clause;

I do it all the time!

Hope this helps.

Hello
I'm using variable sqlstr VARCHAR2(4000) in procedure to create SELECT string.
But the length of my SELECT * FROM .... is bigger than 4000 chars.

Is there a way how to call OPEN my_cursor FOR sqlstr; for sqlstr longer than 4000 signs?

JP
