Re: SQL Query- filter on text in CLOB

yeah, sorry apparently I was smoking crack when I wrot ethe original message.

I got it to work by altering my test query:

select *
from tableA
where dbms_lob.instr(body, 'A')

to:

select *
from tableA
where dbms_lob.instr(body, 'A') > 0

So there you go.

thanks!
