Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Antw: RE: Insert > 8000 Byte into LONG column
Guido,
Where are getting the data from - other database tables? Because, you could build a PL/SQL block that contains PL/SQL variables that can hold up to 32k of data. You could build the string in the variable and insert it into the LONG column.
Something like:
declare
str_var varchar2(8000);
begin
select big_string into str_var from dual;
insert into table (long_col) values (str_var);
end;
/
Good Luck!

Subject: Antw: RE: Insert > 8000 Byte into LONG column
Hi Tom,
thanks for trying to help. Unfortunately I have no chance because I've no account with write permissions. So it seems impossible to put the data on the server through ftp. Oh: and (of course!) no UTL_FILE_DIR defined in the init...ora.
Any other suggestions?
tia,
Guido

Can you use utl_file for this within a PL/SQL block?????

Hi dear list members,
we run a database 8.1.6.2
I've run into a problem. I've got a table that
contains a LONG column (I know, I know).
I have to insert a string into it that has a length > 8500 Byte.
Whenever I issue the insert statement SQL/PLUS throws
the error 'ORA-01704: string literal too long'.
Does anyone have an idea how I can get the data into the table?
Any help (except: change the datatype ;-)) is appreciated.
Greetings,
Guido
