Search for a particular string in Oracle clob column
select *
from TABLE_NAME
where dbms_lob.instr(COLUMNNAME,'searchtext') > 0;
Below code can be used to search a particular string in Oracle clob column
select *
from RLOS_BINARY_BP
where dbms_lob.instr(DED_ENQ_XML,'2003960067') > 0;
where RLOS_BINARY_BP
is table name and DED_ENQ_XML
is column name (with datatype as CLOB) of Oracle database.
ok, you may use substr in correlation to instr to find the starting position of your string
select
dbms_lob.substr(
product_details,
length('NEW.PRODUCT_NO'), --amount
dbms_lob.instr(product_details,'NEW.PRODUCT_NO') --offset
)
from my_table
where dbms_lob.instr(product_details,'NEW.PRODUCT_NO')>=1;
Use dbms_lob.instr and dbms_lob.substr, just like regular InStr and SubstStr functions.
Look at simple example:
SQL> create table t_clob(
2 id number,
3 cl clob
4 );
Tabela zosta│a utworzona.
SQL> insert into t_clob values ( 1, ' xxxx abcd xyz qwerty 354657 [] ' );
1 wiersz zosta│ utworzony.
SQL> declare
2 i number;
3 begin
4 for i in 1..400 loop
5 update t_clob set cl = cl || ' xxxx abcd xyz qwerty 354657 [] ';
6 end loop;
7 update t_clob set cl = cl || ' CALCULATION=[N]NEW.PRODUCT_NO=[T9856] OLD.PRODUCT_NO=[T9852].... -- with other text ';
8 for i in 1..400 loop
9 update t_clob set cl = cl || ' xxxx abcd xyz qwerty 354657 [] ';
10 end loop;
11 end;
