Hi,

I have CLOB column in a table which contains carriage return (\r) and enter (\n) characters. I have to replace these characters by a space.

Please help me in doing this.

Thanks in advance

Use REPLACE.

Dear Michel,

Thanks for your response.

I thought i need to use DBMS_LOB package. Since I am not comfortable in this i had raised request here.

Please confirm whether the following update statement will do,

UPDATE Table_name SET Column_Name= REPLACE(REPLACE(Column_Name,'\r',' '),'\n',' ');

Thanks in advance.

It depends on the version that you didn't post.

I would say: just try it.

Michel
