Re: Rich Text formatted data

One little note to Tom's answer, in fact you can convert to plain text without an index, using ctx_doc.policy_filter function (and according to docs IFILTER will be depricated).

You can create simple policy using:
begin
 ctx_ddl.create_preference('test_inso_filter', 'INSO_FILTER');  ctx_ddl.create_policy( 'test_policy', 'test_inso_filter' ); end;

and than filter document to plaintext using

begin
 ctx_doc.policy_filter( 'test_policy', l_blob, l_clob, TRUE ); end;
