Hello,
I have a problem when I want to insert into the field -varchar2 data type - a value that looks like this:
'aaaa
bbb bbbb'
I get this error message:
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning "bbb..." - rest of line ignored.
The problem is because of the new line between aaaa and bbb rows.
Do you have any ideas how to insert such a string into the given field of the table?
Thank you
Martina.

This is a SQL Plus limitation - it interprets the carriage return as the end of the command block, and then picks up bbb as a new command, hence the error.
I don't know of a way around this in SQL*Plus, but TOAD (http://www.toadsoft.com) will let you do this through it's SQL Editor (presumably SQL*Worksheet will work also).
