This is from Oracle's TechNet Sample Code:
One method in SQL plus that works upto 32k is as such:
drop table demo;
create table demo ( x long );
declare
myvar long default '
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
x
(lots of stuff here)......
';
begin
insert into demo values ( myvar );
dbms_output.put_line( length( myvar ) );
end;
The pl/sql variable can be initialized to upto 32k of static text. It can
then
be inserted into the table (it is a bind variable, not a constant at that
point).
For example, I just ran it and it showed me:
Table dropped.
Table created.
24726
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
So, that put a 24,726 character string into the table...
Hope this helps
