ORA-01704: string literal too long when updating a record
I am trying to update an Oracle Database record and i keep getting this error:
ORA-01704: string literal too long 5
I looked up that error and it seems that i have a limit of 4000 charters since i am using Oracle 10g. However, the prgblem is that its the same exact data i am putting back into that record so that is why i am unsure as to why its giving me that error for the same amount of data i took out of it.
Here is my update code:
Dim myCommand As New OracleCommand()
Dim ra As Integer
Try
myCommand = New OracleCommand("Update CSR.CSR_EAI_SOURCE Set STATUS_CODE = 'Blah', COMPLETE_DATE = '', DATA = '" & theData & "' WHERE EID = '81062144'", OracleConnection)
ra = myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
OracleConnection.Close()
Catch
MsgBox("ERROR" & Err.Description & " " & Err.Number)
End Try
I'm not sure if there is anything special you have to do in order to update a clob or not.
I extract the clob like so:
Dim blob As OracleClob = dr.GetOracleClob(9)
Dim theData As String = ""
theData = blob.Value
And it works just fine extracting but just not putting it back in.
Any help would be great!

UPDATE CODE
Dim OracleCommand As New OracleCommand()
Dim myCommand As New OracleCommand()
Dim ra As Integer
While dr.Read()
Dim blob As OracleClob = dr.GetOracleClob(9)
Dim theData As String = ""
theData = blob.Value
theData = Replace(theData, "…", " ")
Try
Dim strSQL As String
isConnected2 = connectToOracleDB2()
OracleConnection.Close()
If isConnected2 = False Then
MsgBox("ERRORConn: " & Err.Description & " " & Err.Number)
Else
myCommand.Connection = OracleConnection2
strSQL = "Update CSR.CSR_EAI_SOURCE Set STATUS_CODE = 'ERROR', COMPLETE_DATE = '', DATA = :1 WHERE EID = '" & theEID & "'"
myCommand.CommandText = strSQL
Dim param As OracleParameter = myCommand.Parameters.Add("", OracleDbType.Clob)
param.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
param.Value = theData
Application.DoEvents()
ra = myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
Application.DoEvents()
OracleConnection2.Close()
Application.DoEvents()
End If
Catch
MsgBox("ERROR: " & Err.Description & " " & Err.Number)
OracleConnection2.Close()
End Try
End While开发者_开发技巧
dr.Close()
OracleConnection.Close()
Do not hardcode the value into your SQL query. Instead wrap it in a parameter. Like this:
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "Update CSR.CSR_EAI_SOURCE Set STATUS_CODE = 'Blah', COMPLETE_DATE = '', DATA = :1 WHERE EID = '81062144'"
myCommand.CommandText=strSQL
And then:
Dim param As OracleParameter=myCommand.Parameters.Add("",OracleDbType.Clob)
param.Direction=ParameterDirection.Input
param.Value=blob.Value
You can (and should) of course add all other variables (status code, complete date, eid) of your query as parameters, too, instead of hard-coding them into your SQL.
Varchar2 in sql has a limitations of 4000 characters. This limitation does not apply to the data stored in a varchar column. You need to convert this to pl\sql or specify some other column type. ( I am not a php expert. So I cannot provide any sample, just the reason for your error).
Essentially you need to specify the data type as clob while executing the bind query. Otherwise it will default to varchar2 and the above limitation will apply.
