Distinct Clobs
So i founjd a thread that sounded liek it solved my problem, but could not get resolve.
liek the thread starter, I wish to retrieve distinct values that are CLOB fields.
I have only two columns i am concerned with, one is session_type and request_clob.
i would like to see the first 1000 distinct requests that belong to the particular session type.
I have;
Code:
select * from ebr_r.session_cr where
(session_type='address-cleanse' or
session_type='ADDRESS_CLEANSE' )and
created_datetime >= TO_DATE('2007-10-01 09:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI')
'
which was explained to be wrong, does not work.
How would this work. I did not understand the use of all the extraneous fields in the example given.
Thanks for the help!

Well though I am still curious, I ahve solved my issue wih an lternate route.
I wrote a small yet robust Java appt o handle this for me. The app retirves mathcing records based on 5 criteria.
All matching recotrdas are then screened for duplicate values within the clob field. I determin duplicates using 1 to 8 values found within the clobs.
since the clobs are all xml i can retive key fields like session id to detemin if they are dupes or not.
at the end, all non-duplicate records have their xml printed to file.
