Try DBMS_LOB.WRITEAPPEND



Sorry I forgot this are not funcions allowed, in my example the string was
too short.
SQL and PL/SQL VARCHAR2 Functions/Operators Now Allowed for CLOBs

The following SQL VARCHAR2 functions and operators are now allowed for

CLOBs, as indicated in Table 7-6:

n INSTR related operators/functions

n INSTR() and variants (See Table 7-7)

n LIKE

n REPLACE()

n CONCAT and ||

n LENGTH() and variants (See Table 7-7)

n SUBSTR() and variants (See Table 7-7)

n TRIM(), LTRIM() and RTRIM()

n LOWER(), UPPER(), NLS_LOWER(), NLS_UPPER()

n LPAD() and RPAD()



Try DBMS_LOB.WRITEAPPEND this

1 declare

2 myStory CLOB;

3 revisedStory CLOB;

4 myGist VARCHAR2(100);

5 revisedGist VARCHAR2(100);

6 begin

7 -- select a CLOB column into a CLOB variable

8 SELECT Story INTO myStory FROM Multimedia_tab WHERE clip_id=10;

9 -- perform VARCHAR2 operations on a CLOB variable

10 revisedStory := UPPER(SUBSTR(myStory, 100, 1));

11 -- revisedStory is a temporary LOB

12 -- Concat a VARCHAR2 at the end of a CLOB

13 revisedStory := revisedStory || myGist;

14 -- The following statement will raise an error since myStory is

15 -- longer than 100 bytes

16 myGist := myStory;

17 end;

Please note that in line 10 of "PL/SQL Example 4: CLOB Variables in PL/SQL",
a

temporary CLOB is implicitly created and is pointed to by the revisedStory

CLOB locator. In the current interface the line can be expanded as:

buffer VARCHAR2(32000)

DBMS_LOB.CREATETEMPORARY(revisedStory);

buffer := UPPER(DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR(myStory,100,1));

DBMS_LOB.WRITE(revisedStory,length(buffer),1, buffer);

In line 13, myGist is appended to the end of the temporary LOB, which has
the

same effect of:

DBMS_LOB.WRITEAPPEND(revisedStory, myGist, length(myGist));

In some occasions, implicitly created temporary LOBs in PL/SQL statements
can

change the representation of LOB locators previously defined. Consider the
next

example.
