Norman, I'm not sure what you mean by this bug--how does extracting DDL involve conversion from CLOB, etc.?
In any event, there are a number of interfaces in DBMS_METADATA, the simplest being GET_DDL. The package I wrote does not use that; it uses the lower-level, more flexible API. Maybe that's affected by this issue, too, but I haven't run into it so far.

Morning Paul,
>> I've written a package that calls DBMS_METADATA (10g) to produce the
DDL to recreate an entire schema, and it
>> works great.
Isn't there a bug in DBMS_METADATA that causes 'scripts' of longer than 4,000 (or 2,000 maybe) characters to fail to convert from CLOB to RAW/CHAR/VARCHAR2. It used to happen only for materialized views but I've seen it happen with heap tables too - provided they were plenty big enough that is !
Just a thought or vague remembrance.
Cheers,
Norman.
