Long to Varchar2 conversion
You Asked
Hi,
Thanks for your earlier responses....
See, i have one more problem, like i want to retrive the first 4000 characters of the
long datatype, with out using the pl sql code. i just wrote a function like
//
create or replace
function getlong1( p_rowid in rowid)
return varchar2
as
l_data long;
begin
select remarks into l_data from cr_claimheader where rowid = p_rowid;
return substr( l_data, 1, 4000 );
end;
//
to get the first 4000 chars of remarks i am calling this function like
//
select getlong1(rowid) from cr_claimheader where headersrno = 4005
//
Fine, this is working fine when i have the data with less than 4000 chars. in the
particular remarks (long datatype) column.
suppose if the length of data increase means, it returns just null...
how can i solve this problem in a simple manner...
Its very urgent...
Thanks and bye

Periasamy

When I am doing a Select-Insert, the datatype conversion gives an error but when i am using values
clause, it works fine... Why does this happen...?
Followup September 20, 2002 - 8am Central time zone: because the documentation says it will? LONGS cannot be used in an insert into. Put more then 32k in the long and it'll fail miserably in plsql as well. USE CLOBS, do not, repeat, do not, use a long. But Tom, what happens in this case, why PL/SQL succeeds in this case... September 20, 2002 - 8am Central time zone Reviewer:Subhrajyoti Paul
Tom,
I have a table which was created with a long column and has around 1 M records in it... I want
to modify the column type to long. In this process, I am saving the data into temp table with
varchar2 column and modifying the main table. So, I have to do the conversion.
I used the loop to do that.
I just wanted to know why this failed in PURE SQL while it worked in PL/SQL loop....
Thanks

Hi Tom, What method would you suggest for converting a long column to varchar2. Our table has about
20 million rows in it. We want to generate least number of archive logs for this. Sqlplus copy
command and PL/SQL insert cannot be used as we cannot use APPEND hint with them(We tried creating a
new table and then inserting into it,we had planed to rename the original table.We plan to create
index's with nologging after the table is created.)
The orginal table and the new table are as given below.

This is generating heavy archive logs, as APPEND is ignored with 'values' clause of insert.
What would be your suggestion for this ?
Thanks,
Followup June 24, 2003 - 7am Central time zone: there will be no way to do this without unloading the data and then using sqlldr direct path to reload it or writing an OCI program in C using the direct path apis. create table as select --> won't work, longs. insert /*+ append */ as select --> won't work, longs. copy -> won't work, conventional path. code you write -> won't work, conventional path. so, maybe you can unload to a flat file (see asktom.oracle.com/~tkyte for unloaders) and reload with sqlldr use a function to return a varchar2 June 24, 2003 - 9am Central time zone Reviewer:A readerfrom Japan
Hi Tom, Do you see any problem, if we create a function which takes a rowid parameter and then selects the long column into a varchar2 variable from the rowid and returns this varchar2 variable. After this we just use this function in the insert statement. For eg. insert /*+ APPEND */ into TEMP_AD_MESSAGES select MSG_NUM ,my_to_varchar_func(rowid),MSG_TS ,AD_DOC_DOC_NUM,AD_DOC_ADC_CONTAINER_NUM,AML_MSG_LEVEL from ad_messages; We know that our long field has less than 2000 bytes of length. In test case atleast its appearing to use direct mode insert. Thanks, Followup June 25, 2003 - 9am Central time zone: It would seem to me that in order to use append, you must be worried about gobs of UNDO. If you are worried about gobs of undo -- you must have TONS of data. If you have tons of data, calling a function once per row is going to be slow, I'd rather deal with the UNDO.

Your team rules!!! This site is the cure for the common headache. convert LONG to Varchar2 - THANKS! May 11, 2005 - 1am Central time zone Reviewer:A.Bozrikovfrom Lemesos, Cyprus
I had to convert a dozen of tables having LONG columns (for no reason, as all strings in LONG columns were shorter than 2k!) to VARCHAR2 columns. Tom Kyte's suggestions to others were very helphul, thanks! I did not even have to ask anything. Hi The procedure you used to find search_condition in user_constrains works fine. Is there a way to build a generic procedure/function to search long columns? Such as select * from user_views where search_long(text) like '%XXX%' select * from user_constraints where search_long(search_condition) like '%XXX%' THANKS Followup July 15, 2005 - 8am Central time zone: Here is an excerpt from the book I'm working on now that deals with this question:
<quote>
A question that arises frequently however is - what about the data dictionary in Oracle? It is
littered with LONG columns and this makes using them (the dictionary columns) problematic. For
example, to find all VIEWS that contain the text 'HELLO' is not possible:
ops$tkyte@ORA10G> select *
2 from all_views
3 where text like '%HELLO%';
where text like '%HELLO%'
*
ERROR at line 3:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got LONG
This is not limited to just the ALL_VIEWS view, there are many views:
ops$tkyte@ORA10G> select table_name, column_name
2 from dba_tab_columns
3 where data_type in ( 'LONG', 'LONG RAW' )
4 and owner = 'SYS'
5 and table_name like 'DBA%';

that are affected by this. So, what is the solution? If you want to make use of these columns in
SQL - we'll need to convert them to a SQL friendly type. We can use a user defined function for
doing so. This demonstrates how to accomplish a "long substr" function that will allow you to
effectively convert any 4000 bytes of a LONG type into a varchar2, for use with SQL. When we are
done, we'll be able to query:
ops$tkyte@ORA10G> select *
2 from (
3 select owner, view_name,
4 long_help.substr_of( 'select text
5 from dba_views
6 where owner = :owner
7 and view_name = :view_name',
8 1, 4000,
9 'owner', owner,
10 'view_name', view_name ) substr_of_view_text
11 from dba_views
12 where owner = user
13 )
14 where upper(substr_of_view_text) like '%INNER%'
15 /
Meaning, we converted the first 4000 bytes of the VIEW_TEXT column from LONG to a VARCHAR2 and can
now use a predicate on it. Using the same technique, you would be able to implement your own
instr, like and such for LONG types as well. In this book, I'll only be demonstrating how to get
the substring of a LONG type.
The package we will implement has the following specification:
ops$tkyte@ORA10G> create or replace package long_help
2 authid current_user
3 as
4 function substr_of
5 ( p_query in varchar2,
6 p_from in number,
7 p_for in number,
8 p_name1 in varchar2 default NULL,
9 p_bind1 in varchar2 default NULL,
10 p_name2 in varchar2 default NULL,
11 p_bind2 in varchar2 default NULL,
12 p_name3 in varchar2 default NULL,
13 p_bind3 in varchar2 default NULL,
14 p_name4 in varchar2 default NULL,
15 p_bind4 in varchar2 default NULL )
16 return varchar2;
17 end;
18 /
Package created.
Note that one line 2, we've specified AUTHID CURRENT_USER. This makes the package run as the
invoker, with all roles and grants in place. This is important for two reasons. Firstly, we'd
like the database security to no be subverted - this package will only return substrings of columns
you (the invoker) is allowed to see. Secondly, we'd like to install this package once in the
database and have its functionality available for all to use - using invokers rights allows us to
do that. If we used the default security model of PLSQL, definer rights, the package would run
with the privileges of the owner of the package. Meaning it would only be able to see data the
owner of the package could see - which does not include the set of data the invoker is allowed to
see.
The concept behind the function SUBSTR_OF is to take a query that selects at most one row and one
column - the LONG value we are interested in. SUBSTR_OF will parse that query if needed, bind any
inputs to it and fetch the results programmatically, returning the necessary piece of the LONG
value.
The package body, the implementation, begins with two global variables. The G_CURSOR variable
holds a persistent cursor open for the duration of our session. This is to avoid having to
repeatedly open and close the cursor and to avoid parsing SQL more than we need to. The second
global variable, G_QUERY, is used to remember the text of the last SQL query we've parsed in this
package. As long as the query remains constant, we'll just parse it once. So, even if we query
5,000 rows in a query - as long as the SQL query we pass to this function doesn't change, we'll
only have one parse call:
ops$tkyte@ORA10G> create or replace package body long_help
2 as
3
4 g_cursor number := dbms_sql.open_cursor;
5 g_query varchar2(32765);
6
Next in this package is a private function, BIND_VARIABLE, that we'll use to bind inputs passed to
us by the caller. We implemented this as a separate private procedure only to make life easier -
we want to bind only when the input name is NOT NULL. Rather than perform that check 4 times in
the code for each input parameter - we do it once in this procedure:
7 procedure bind_variable( p_name in varchar2, p_value in varchar2 )
8 is
9 begin
10 if ( p_name is not null )
11 then
12 dbms_sql.bind_variable( g_cursor, p_name, p_value );
13 end if;
14 end;
15
Next is the actual implementation of SUBSTR_OF in the package body, it begins with function
declaration from the package specification and the declaration for some local variables. L_BUFFER
will be used to return the value and L_BUFFER_LEN will be used to hold the length returned by an
Oracle supplied function:
16
17 function substr_of
18 ( p_query in varchar2,
19 p_from in number,
20 p_for in number,
21 p_name1 in varchar2 default NULL,
22 p_bind1 in varchar2 default NULL,
23 p_name2 in varchar2 default NULL,
24 p_bind2 in varchar2 default NULL,
25 p_name3 in varchar2 default NULL,
26 p_bind3 in varchar2 default NULL,
27 p_name4 in varchar2 default NULL,
28 p_bind4 in varchar2 default NULL )
29 return varchar2
30 as
31 l_buffer varchar2(4000);
32 l_buffer_len number;
33 begin
Now, the first thing our code does is a sanity check on the P_FROM and P_FOR inputs. P_FROM must
be a number greater than or equal to 1 and P_FOR must be between 1 and 4000 - just like the
built-in function SUBSTR:
34 if ( nvl(p_from,0) <= 0 )
35 then
36 raise_application_error
37 (-20002, 'From must be >= 1 (positive numbers)' );
38 end if;
39 if ( nvl(p_for,0) not between 1 and 4000 )
40 then
41 raise_application_error
42 (-20003, 'For must be between 1 and 4000' );
43 end if;
44
Next, we'll check to see if we are getting a new query that needs to be parsed. If the last query
we parsed is the same as the current query - we can skip this step. It is very important to note
that on line 47 we are verifying that the P_QUERY passed to us is just a SELECT - we will use this
package only to execute SQL SELECT statements, this check validates that for us:
45 if ( p_query <> g_query or g_query is NULL )
46 then
47 if ( upper(trim(nvl(p_query,'x'))) not like 'SELECT%')
48 then
49 raise_application_error
50 (-20001, 'This must be a select only' );
51 end if;
52 dbms_sql.parse( g_cursor, p_query, dbms_sql.native );
53 g_query := p_query;
54 end if;
Now we are ready to bind the inputs to this query. Any non-NULL names that were passed to us will
be "bound" to the query so when we execute it, it finds the right row:
55 bind_variable( p_name1, p_bind1 );

57 bind_variable( p_name3, p_bind3 );
58 bind_variable( p_name4, p_bind4 );

And now we are ready to execute the query and fetch the row. Then using
DBMS_SQL.COLUMN_VALUE_LONG, we extract the necessary substring of the long and return it:
60 dbms_sql.define_column_long(g_cursor, 1);
61 if (dbms_sql.execute_and_fetch(g_cursor)>0)
62 then
63 dbms_sql.column_value_long
64 (g_cursor, 1, p_for, p_from-1,
65 l_buffer, l_buffer_len );
66 end if;
67 return l_buffer;
68 end substr_of;
69
70 end;
71 /
Package body created.
And that is it, you should be able to use that package against any legacy LONG column in your
database, allowing you to perform many "where clause" operations that were not possible before, for
example, to find all partitions in your schema such that the HIGH_VALUE has the year 2003 in it:
ops$tkyte@ORA10G> select *
2 from (
3 select table_owner, table_name, partition_name,
4 long_help.substr_of
5 ( 'select high_value
6 from all_tab_partitions
7 where table_owner = :o
8 and table_name = :n
9 and partition_name = :p',
10 1, 4000,
11 'o', table_owner,
12 'n', table_name,
13 'p', partition_name ) high_value
14 from all_tab_partitions
15 where table_name = 'T'
16 and table_owner = user
17 )
18 where high_value like '%2003%'
19 /
TABLE_OWN TABLE PARTIT HIGH_VALUE
--------- ----- ------ ------------------------------
OPS$TKYTE T PART1 TO_DATE(' 2003-03-13 00:00:00'
, 'SYYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', 'N
LS_CALENDAR=GREGORIAN')
OPS$TKYTE T PART2 TO_DATE(' 2003-03-14 00:00:00'
, 'SYYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', 'N
LS_CALENDAR=GREGORIAN')
Using this same technique - that of processing the result of a query that returns a single row with
a single LONG column in a function - you can implement your own INSTR, LIKE and so on as needed.
This implementation works well on the LONG type but will not work on LONG RAW types. LONG RAWs are
not piecewise accessible (there is no COLUMN_VALUE_LONG_RAW function in DBMS_SQL). Fortunately,
this is not too serious of a restriction since LONG RAWs are not used in the dictionary and the
need to "substring" so you can search on it is rare. If you do have a need to do so however, you
will not be using PLSQL unless the LONG RAW is 32k or less, there is simply no method for dealing
with LONG RAWS over 32k in PLSQL itself. Java, C, C++, Visual Basic or some other language would
have to be used.
Another approach would be to temporarily convert the LONG or LONG RAW into a CLOB or BLOB using the
TO_LOB built in function and a global temporary table. Your PLSQL procedure could:
Insert into global_temp_table ( blob_column )
select to_lob(long_raw_column) from t where
This would work well in an application that occasionally needed to work with a single LONG RAW
value - you would not want to be continuously doing that however due to the amount of work
involved. If you find yourself needing to resort to this technique frequently, you would
definitely convert the LONG RAW to a BLOB once and be done with it.

Updating a value in a long column November 18, 2005 - 1pm Central time zone Reviewer:Ajums T Tfrom Mumbai, India
Hi Tom, We have a table with a long column datatype. In this long column datatype there are several instances of the word "Bombay". We have to replace all instances of "Bombay" with "Mumbai". There are over 15000 such records and its painful to do this one at a time through the front-end. Can we write a PL/SQL block to do this at one go? We are using Oracle 8.1.7. I forgot to mention that earlier. Regards, Ajums TT November 19, 2005 - 12pm Central time zone Reviewer:Ajums TTfrom mumbai, india
The longs are about 5 pages of text in some of the rows. In others where its less than 4000 bytes, I wrote a piece of code in VB and that worked for them. For this 5 pages of text, there are 3 rows that still need to be updated. Followup November 19, 2005 - 1pm Central time zone: If "5 pages" is less then 32k - you can use plsql.
begin
for x in ( select * from t )
loop
x.long_col := replace( x.long_col, .... )
update t set long_col = x.long_col where ....
end loop;
I've no idea what "5 pages" is though.
What is 5 pages. November 19, 2005 - 1pm Central time zone Reviewer:Ajums TTfrom Mumbai, India
5 pages is a printout on A4 size paper. I am certain that one of the rows has crossed 32 K in size. Followup November 19, 2005 - 2pm Central time zone: that still doesn't tell me how big 5 pages is :) but if they are over 32k in size, you need something beyond SQL and PLSQL to deal with them. worked for 4 rows November 19, 2005 - 4pm Central time zone Reviewer:Ajums TTfrom Mumbai, India
Hi Tom, Your technique has updated all but 1 row in my table. I am certain its more than 32 K of data in this particular row. If I need something beyond Pl /SQL or SQL to fix this, where should I be looking at? I have been having a lot of sleepless nights for some time now. Regards, Ajums TT Followup November 19, 2005 - 8pm Central time zone: look to the application that puts it into the database in the first place??? what is it written in. Explicitly checking for SELECT instead of pragma restrict_references(WNDS' November 20, 2005 - 4am Central time zone Reviewer:Jagjeet Singhfrom Delhi, India
Hi, in Long_help package you are checking explicitly checking whether this text is "SELECT" or not.

Varchar to Nvarachar migration November 22, 2005 - 12am Central time zone Reviewer:thirumaranfrom INDIA
Hi Tom, Is it possible to move data from a varchar2 datatype in Oracle 9i solaris Server to an NVARACHAR2 oracle 10g R2 Windows 2003 server datatype. Oracle 9i is using the default oracle character set whereas the proposed Oracle 10g R2 Database character set will be AL32UTF8 sets and the National character set will be UTF 16 while creating the database. Thanks in adv Thirumaran Thanks in adv Thirumaran. Char to Nvarchar conversion November 22, 2005 - 2am Central time zone Reviewer:Banufrom INDIA
Dear Tom, 1) Can i move my Table columns data from Char to NVarchar datatype. Examples are available only form CHAR to NCHAR . 2) What is the difference between unicode units VS Bytes. i am not clear with the text from this site: http://www.cs.umb.edu/cs634/ora9idocs/server.920/a96529/ch2.htm#104327 Oracle9i Database Globalization Support Guide Release 2 (9.2) Part Number A96529-01 "When the NCHAR character set is AL16UTF16, ename can hold up to 10 Unicode code units. When the NCHAR character set is AL16UTF16, ename can hold up to 20 bytes." please illustrate with examples. 3)i have a DB with western alphabets(9i) when i move data to a DB which has different Database character set(AL32UTF8) & National character set(UTF-16) what are the impacts ? please guide me on this. regards Banu Followup November 22, 2005 - 8am Central time zone: 1) yes. 2) basically it is saying that unicode takes one OR MORE bytes to store a single character, it is a multi-byte encoding scheme. when you say "varchar2(20)", you get 20 bytes - it might be able to hold 20 characters, then again - maybe not. 3) you'll be going from single byte per character to multi-byte. You might find that 40 characters no longer fits in the varchar2(40) which is 40 bytes as 40 characters might need 80, 120, 160 or even more bytes. converting LONG to NUMBER datatype November 25, 2005 - 6am Central time zone Reviewer:Suvendufrom Bangalore, INDIA
Hi Tom,
Here my problem with high_value column in user_tab_partitions not with the query. If my query is
written wrong way, could you please correct me here.
The scenarion is like:
When I'm getting low range value partition to an existing partition table, I wants find out where
this new partition going to fit in between existing two partitions and after getting it, I need to
:
Split the highest bound partition with new partition key value.
To find out same here is my query, but BETWEEN ..AND .. clause going fail on LONG column
high_value, I tried with utl_raw package relating this thread along with CAST( high_value AS
NUMBER) option too, but not getting solved the problem.
Could you, please provide any good option to do same, if any and to solve the problem here too?
SQL> select lower.partition_name,
lower.high_value,
higher.partition_name,
higher.high_value
from (select partition_name, high_value from user_tab_partitions
where table_name='FACT_TAB') lower,
(select partition_name, high_value from user_tab_partitions
where table_name='FACT_TAB') higher
where lower.partition_name=higher.partition_name
and 1117324802 between lower.high_value and higher.high_value;
ORA-00997: illegal use of LONG datatype
It's in Oracle 9.2 on HP Unix.
Thanking you a lot for your kind consideartion to my question.
