Problem copying 4000 characters of CLOB in VARCHAR2 (4000 TANK)

I'm migrating data from a table where it is stored in a CLOB to another table where I said a column of VARCHAR2(4000 CHAR).

I stated a cursor in the form:

(a) select columna, columnb, substr(clob_column,1,4000) of...

(b) select columna, columnb, dbms_lob.substr(clob_column,4000,1) of...

I then loop and EXTRACT the value of substr in a variable that is declared as VARCHAR2 (4000 TANK)

With the cursor version 'a', using the regular subtr function, I get: ORA-01461: can bind to a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column

With the slider 'b' version, by using the dbms_lob.substr function, I get: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: digital or value error: character string buffer too small

I use Oracle 10.2.0.4.0

I don't know yet what to watch next?

Machinery says:

However, the database uses NLS_CHARACTERSET UTF8 and NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16, which are multibyte so I was expecting the declared with semantic CHAR VARCHAR2 to be multibyte.

And it is. But in Oracle SQL VARCHAR2, as I already mentioned, must not exceed 4000 bytes. So even if you have declared it as 4000 characters, you'll get an error when the total length in bytes is greater than 4000. And since, according to the character set, a character can be 1 to 4 bytes, Oracle takes the best cases and allows you to declare it as max 4000 characters. How many characters will fit in eseccion is another question.

  • VARCHAR2 (4000 tank) in AL32UTF8

    Hello

    I have an instance using AL32UTF8. There is a column in a table is defined as VARCHAR2 (4000 tank). I can fill a string with 4,000 characters (multi-byte language) to this column?

    Thank you

    >
    that means that the length of VARCHAR maxiumn is 4000 BYTES, regardless of the configuration?
    >
    Yes - the maximum length of VARCHAR2 is 4000 bytes.

    Oracle allows to specify VARCHAR2 (4000 TANK) for a base of multibyte character set, since it is legal to insert 4000 single-byte characters. But it is to make sure that you don't try to integrate more than 4000 bytes.

  • Problem copy with Dos command

    I have a Windows Vista laptop that wasn't signing in Windows & browsing the trunk upwards. He tried to solve the problem but could not.  I replaced the laptop for now and try to restore all the old data.  Unfortunately a very important file is not in the original backup.  I was able to get into the back of command on the old laptop and found the file I want to restore.  I have a USB key that I can add & delete on it but I am having some problems copying the files on it.  I hope that there is someone here who could help refresh my memory to make it work.  I really need this file.

    I have 2 separate files in the following directory for backups of my product of the emails:

    Backup directory: c:\users\Linda\Documents\Incredimail

    Can anyone help with this?

    Thank you

    OK - this is great, this post more later for me (we) do know how things are going...

    I was surprised by the error message (error: the parameter is incorrect.), usually, you can see the error - not enough free space on the disk (device).

    If you use flash with computers disks, you can format all the drives to NTFS flash. Format NTFS is WIndows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and of course you know WIndows 8. Older Windows (such as Windows 98, Windows 95) knows that FAT32.

    The maximum NTFS file size is about 16 TB (of 16 000 GB).

    Perhaps mean you - why is the default to FAT32 ?

    Some modern TV, VCR (DVD) or the satellite receiver USB input and you can Plug the flash drive into this devices - you can see the pictures on TV, that are saved on the flash drive, or you can record a TV show on the flash drive, which is plugged into the TV (or VCR (DVD) or the satellite receiver) , but this devices know only FAT32 format.

  • Conversion of CLOB in Varchar2

    I store my SQLs in a table column that contains the CLOB data type. I want to execute this SQL dynamically using execute immediate command. Can I used the to_char function to convert CLOB in VARCHAR2? Can I run clob directly?

    Not in 10g and lower versions.
    As long as the clob is smaller then 32 k one"to_char (your_clobstatment)"will work well.

    Hi all
    I have a CLOB field with data, I want to copy all the ot its data to another field of varchar2 to the same table. How, please?
    I think that I should use the Update statement, but how?

    Note: Iam using DB Oracle 10g R2

    You can just do a simple UPDATE, but if you have the adta in your CLOB which is too big to fit in your column VARCHAR2 column, you will not be able to get it all:

  • Problems copying bookmarks from old Hard Drive to new hard drive

    The motherboard on my old Windows Vista 64 - bit is dead. The hard drive is still accessible. I bought a new PC with Windows 7 and installed Firefox. I find the.default file for Firefox on the old drive hard and copied and pasted in my new profile on my new hard drive. The old hard drive is connected to my new PC with an external hard drive enclosure. I tried looking for in my old profile user Firefox hard disk of old. I do this by clicking on my old username, go to Program Files (x 86) and only one program file that I found for DNA. Firefox has been installed on my old PC, so I'm surprised that I can't find what it listed under Program Files (x 86) on this drive. If I search the old drive for 'signet', it evokes my bookmarksbackup and other files of bookmarks '.json '. I tired bookmarksbackup copy for my new Firefox profile on the new hard drive and it seems to work, but the old bookmarks do not appear when I open Firefox. I looked at the links troubleshooting for the same problem that others have posted, but they seem irrelevant, because I can't find the sqlite or the directory where my old Firefox settings are stored on my old hard drive. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    Firefox settings are not stored in program files, but they are stored under APPDATA.

    If you take the newer JSON file you have, open Firefox, press Control, Shift and B at the same time, then go to "Import and backup" then 'restore', then choose file, you can import it like this?

  • LaserJet Pro 400 M451dn: Problems copying documents from the printer scanner

    I use a Mark II of Canon Canoscan 9000F scanner to scan documents and copy them into the HP LaserJet Pro 400 451dn color laser printer.  I use the 'Copy' button on the front of the scanner function.  When a color or photo document is scanned this way the red and blue colors are reversed when it comes to the printer off.

    Both the scanner and the printer work perfectly in all other situations.

    Somehow the red and blue colors are to be swapped when a document goes to the scanner to the printer.

    I called the Support Canon technique and they told me that they have never heard of this problem and have never had it reported before.  When you use the "Copy" button function there is no setting that can be done. The scanner copy what he sees.

    So why the red and blue are exchanged on the printer?

    Teknishun

    What happens if you scan the document itself to the computer and then print the scanned copy? If it is ok, then the question must be the scanner software which sends the document to the printer and has nothing to do with the printer. Sorry, but it's a hot issue.

  • Problems copying very large folder to an external drive.

    The other day I tried to copy a far larger My Documents folder from the disk of Windows of a house system from XP to an external drive for backup.  He wouldn't let me.  I selected the folder of My Documents to copy, press Ctrl-C, then negotiated in the destination folder and press Ctrl + V.  What he did was simply created a shortcut to the folder destination.  However, I wanted the entire file to be copied.

    So I tried to use the Windows menu to do the same.  Then I noticed that the destination folder has the grey order dough and people with reduced mobility, but the paste shortcut command is available.  Finally, I had to create the new folder to destination and you drag the subfolders on.

    I tried to re - create the scenario on another computer with another external drive today.  I couldn't do it.  Could someone tell me under what circumstances this collage is not possible?  How can I overcome the problem outside of what I've done or through a DOS prompt?

    I discovered copy Document my folder must copy in the actual file.  We can find the actual file in the my documents properties.

    That's the ANSWER.

  • Error message "unable to copy the file"hiberfil", it is used by another person or program." Problem copying content from your PC to external hard drive.

    Original title: problem to copy content from your PC to external hard drive.

    I use Windows XP 2000 and am trying to restore my pc to factory settings as it is continuously 'stick '. When you try to copy my drive "c" on an external drive I get a message saying "unable to copy the file"hiberfil", it is used by another person or program." Close any program that might be using the file and try again "." What is 'hiberfil' and how do I close it down as I am not aware that I use?

    Concerning

    Pete

    The hiberfil.sys will be created every time that you start... If you put in hibernation enabled in your control panel, Power Options and the file is 'open' to think that you can actually choose to Hibernate at any given time.  When you Hibernate XP gives a note of it and will write a hiberfil.sys sometimes important in the c:\ folder so that when XP fires again upwards and returns from hibernation, XP will read the hiberfil.sys file and return to the situation that you were in when you put into hibernation.

    I use to be a chronic hibernant because it takes less time to return after hibernation as a cold start.  Sometimes, it can actually be slower that a cold so start your system based on the amount of RAM has.  The more RAM you have, the more your hiberfil.sys will, if sometimes it's faster to move with just a cold start if you Hibernate (26,03 seconds for me).

    If hiberfil.sys is giving you a hard time (you would not in any way copy it) disable hibernation in your Power Options and the file will be deleted immediately since it would be is no longer necessary.  That would solve this, but if you are trying to copy the entire C drive, you will have other files to complain after that.

    It is certainly possible to make a complete copy of the C drive, if you want, but you will have to initialize on something next to your drive hard if you want to do this so the XP files are not used - then you can copy anything and everything.  You can get some imaging software of disc that will also help you.

    It depends on what the problem is you want to solve and what you wand to end up with when you're done (so far, unspecified).

    I would work on figure our why your XP is paste and fix it in place.  XP should not be sticky.
