    Help with PL/SQL - CLOB

    Hi All,

    I am not very experienced in PL/SQL. I need help in creating a simple procedure to insert data into two temp tables. One of the tab.columns is a CLOB. I can't seem to execute the procedure correctly, no matter which way I try. I was calling the procedure with named parameters. The error message is very vague. Thanks in advance. Kathy


    BEGIN upd_temp_node_proc (p_cid=>54906, p_pid=>1, p_detailid=>54906, p_type=>1, p_lbl=>'Kathy', p_ordr=>0, p_lvl=>5
    4906, p_ptr=>54906, p_class=>0, p_dtype=>7, p_content=>'This is the clob data, it is very large. Next, I need to test while enter
    ing more than 4000 characters', p_status_fk=>1); END;

    *
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
    PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to

    You might want to check DBMS_LOB package.

    The operation of clob is different from other data types.
    If you want to insert or update a clob column, you must do as below:
    (1) you must go to the clob row firstly;
    (2) then you can update clob column used by dbms_lob package(such as dbms_lob.write, dbms_lob.write, dbms_lob.writeappend);

    Here is an easy example:
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Code:
    create table t_clob2
    (
      no      number,
      content clob
    );
    
    create or replace procedure sp_clob(ip_no number,ip_content varchar2)
    is
      lv_no      number;
      lv_clob    clob;
      lv_sqlstr  varchar2(4000);
    begin
      insert into t_clob2 values(ip_no,empty_clob());
      commit;
      lv_sqlstr := 'select content from t_clob2 where no=' || ip_no || ' for update';
      execute immediate lv_sqlstr into lv_clob;
      dbms_lob.write(lv_clob,length(ip_content),1,ip_content);
      commit;
    end;
    
    SQL> exec sp_clob(1,'abcdefg');
     
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed
     
    SQL> select * from t_clob2;
     
            NO CONTENT
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
             1 abcdefg

    I have code another exmaple as below, for inserting or updating clob column.
    I think it can help you to resolve your problem.

    the data from t_src_clob
    NO CONTENT(clob)
    --------------------
    1 xxx
    2 yyy

    and i want insert a row to t_dest_clob
    NO CONTENT(clob)
    --------------------
    3
    then set t_src_clob's content value(whose no is 'xxx' ) for t_dest_clob's content.

    At last, the data from t_dest_clob will become
    NO CONTENT(clob)
    --------------------
    3 xxx

    The original data for testing:
    Code:
    --drop table t_src_clob;
    --drop table t_dest_clob;
    create table t_src_clob
    (
      no      number,
      content clob
    );
    alter table t_src_clob
      add constraint T_SRC_CLOB_PK primary key(no);
      
    create table t_dest_clob
    (
      no      number,
      content clob
    );
    alter table t_dest_clob
      add constraint T_DEST_CLOB_PK primary key(no);
    
    insert into t_src_clob  values(1,'xxx');
    insert into t_src_clob  values(2,'yyy');
    
    commit;
    
    select * from t_src_clob;
    select * from t_dest_clob;
    Procedure and function for update clob:
    Code:
    create or replace function getclob(ip_table_name  in varchar2,  --the clob table
                                       ip_PK_column   in varchar2,  --the pk column name of clob table
                                       ip_PK_value    in number,    --the value of pk column
                                       ip_clob_column in varchar2   --the clob column'name
                                      ) return clob is 
      lv_clob   clob;
      lv_amount number := 2000;
      lv_offset number := 1;
      lv_sqlstr varchar2(1000);
    begin
      lv_sqlstr := 'select ' || ip_clob_column || ' from ' || ip_table_name ||
                   ' where ' || ip_PK_column || '=' || ip_PK_value;
      EXECUTE IMMEDIATE lv_sqlstr
        INTO lv_clob;
      return lv_clob;
    end;
    /
    
    create or replace procedure updateclob(ip_dest_table_name  in varchar2, 
                                           ip_dest_PK_column   in varchar2,
                                           ip_dest_PK_value    in number,  
                                           ip_dest_clob_column in varchar2,
                                           ip_src_table_name   in varchar2,
                                           ip_src_PK_column    in varchar2,
                                           ip_src_PK_value     in number,
                                           ip_src_clob_column  in varchar2)
    is   
      lv_src_clob  clob;
      lv_dest_clob clob;   
      lv_amt       number;     
      lv_sqlstr    varchar2(1000);   
    begin 
      lv_sqlstr := 'select ' || ip_dest_clob_column || ' from ' || ip_dest_table_name ||
             ' where ' || ip_dest_PK_column || '=' || ip_dest_PK_value || 'for update';
      EXECUTE IMMEDIATE lv_sqlstr
        INTO lv_dest_clob; 
      lv_src_lob := getclob(ip_src_table_name,ip_src_PK_column,ip_src_PK_value,ip_src_clob_column);
      lv_amt := dbms_lob.getlength(lv_src_lob);
      dbms_lob.copy(lv_dest_clob,lv_src_lob,lv_amt);
      commit;
    end;
    /

    Here is an example for inserting clob
    Code:
    SQL> select * from t_src_clob;
     
            NO CONTENT
    ---------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
             1 xxx
             2 yyy
    SQL> select * from t_dest_clob;
     
            NO CONTENT
    ---------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     
    SQL> insert into t_dest_clob values(5,'ooo');
     
    1 row inserted
     
    SQL> commit;
     
    Commit complete
    
    SQL> select * from t_dest_clob;
     
            NO CONTENT
    ---------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            3
    
    SQL> exec updateclob('t_dest_clob','no',3,'content','t_src_clob','no',1,'content');
     
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed
     
    SQL> select * from t_src_clob;
     
            NO CONTENT
    ---------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    So you must modify the "INSERT INTO facnodedetails_temp...." SQL.
    Firstly, insert into facnodedetails_temp without content;
    Then, select the clob row for update, and insert clob column used by dbms_lob package like i code as above.
