Here is how, I got the structe from Tom site and adecuate to a clob declare dbms_sql.varchar2s; l_cursor integer default dbms_sql.open_cursor; l_rows number default 0; ELLOB clob; nPos number ; I number := 1; nPosAnt number := 1; begin SELECT A INTO ELLOB FROM CTB.TESTE; WHILE TRUE LOOP DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(1); nPos := instr( ELLOB,CHR(10),1,i); -- DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(nPos||':pos-i:'||i); DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(2); if nPos = 0 THEN EXIT; END IF; DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(substr(ellob,nPosAnt,nPos-nPosAnt)); DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(3); l_stmt(i) := substr(ellob,nPosAnt,nPos-nPosAnt); DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(4); i:=i+1; DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(5); nPosAnt := nPos; END LOOP; dbms_sql.parse( c => l_cursor, statement => l_stmt, lb => l_stmt.first, ub => l_stmt.last, lfflg => TRUE, language_flag => dbms_sql.native ); l_rows := dbms_sql.execute(l_cursor); dbms_sql.close_cursor( l_cursor ); exception when others then if dbms_sql.is_open(l_cursor) then dbms_sql.close_cursor(l_cursor); end if; raise; end; / ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
