Hi,

We have table User_Config in our database where in the user from the front end(DOT NET) try to update the column Configuration Data which is of LONG data type(we can not alter the data type of the column) with XML data which doesn't exceeds more than 2MB.

When trying to update the column with 1.5MB of data we are getting the following error:

ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested

Structure of the table:

userid              ---  VARCHAR2(8)
configurationid     ---- VARCHAR2(35)
configurationdata   ---  LONG


I searched with the above error in many links but couldn't find any solution.

Please find below the procedure being called to update the table.

PROCEDURE USP_UserConfig_Update(
		UserId              IN	UserConfig.UserId%Type					DEFAULT NULL,
		ConfigurationId     IN	UserConfig.ConfigurationId%Type			DEFAULT NULL,
		ConfigurationData   IN	UserConfig.ConfigurationData%Type		DEFAULT NULL,
		ret_cursor			OUT SYS_REFCURSOR)
	IS
		l_UserId            UserConfig.UserId%Type	;
		l_ConfigurationId   UserConfig.ConfigurationId%Type	;
		l_ConfigurationData CLOB	;
		
		RowsAffected     	NUMBER(15) := 0;

	BEGIN
		l_UserId            := UserId;
		l_ConfigurationId   := ConfigurationId;
		l_ConfigurationData := ConfigurationData;
	
		UPDATE  UserConfig
		   SET	ConfigurationData   =	l_ConfigurationData
		 WHERE	UserId			 =	l_UserId
		   AND  ConfigurationId  =  l_ConfigurationId;

		RowsAffected := SQL%ROWCOUNT; 

		OPEN ret_cursor FOR 
    		 SELECT  RowsAffected as RowsAffected,
    		         SYSDATE  as UpdatedDateTime
    		   FROM  DUAL;
	--COMMIT;
	END USP_UserConfig_Update;


Any helpful is appreciated.

Thanks,
Hemanth

Why do you try to convert it from a column%type (LONG) to a CLOB (and back)?

Why are you using a CLOB variable for a LONG column? For that matter why are you copying the parameters to local variables at all? Just use the parameters direct in the update.

And why are you using a ref cursor? Surely two out parameters would make more sense.

Sorry for not changing the datatype...for testing purpose I have changed it from LONG to CLOB and mistakenly I have copied the same..in the code it was LONG only..

and about the local variables..that was the format given for coding..as the input parameters match that of the column names from the tables and can not be used in Update procedure...as the logic I am using in other update procedurees is as below..

UPDATE DA_Detail
			SET	DA_DETAIL_ID        =	NVL(l_DADetailId,DA_DETAIL_ID),
				DA_NO               =	NVL(l_DANo,DA_NO),
				CREDIT_STATUS       =	NVL(l_CreditStatus,CREDIT_STATUS),
				DA_LINETYPE_ID      =	NVL(l_DALineTypeId,DA_LINETYPE_ID),
				TEXT                =	NVL(l_Text,TEXT)...


Please ignore them..if that is the issue..I have changed it and run it again..but still causing the same error..

Thanks,
Hemanth

That's why you should use prefixes for parameters as well as local variables. Most places use p_

So post the modified code.

Hi,

Please find below the modified code.


PROCEDURE USP_UserConfig_Update(
		UserId              IN	UserConfig.UserId%Type					DEFAULT NULL,
		ConfigurationId     IN	UserConfig.ConfigurationId%Type			DEFAULT NULL,
		ConfigurationData   IN	UserConfig.ConfigurationData%Type		DEFAULT NULL,
		ret_cursor			OUT SYS_REFCURSOR)
	IS
		l_UserId            UserConfig.UserId%Type	;
		l_ConfigurationId   UserConfig.ConfigurationId%Type	;
		l_ConfigurationData LONG	;
		
		RowsAffected     	NUMBER(15) := 0;

	BEGIN
		l_UserId            := UserId;
		l_ConfigurationId   := ConfigurationId;
		l_ConfigurationData := ConfigurationData;
	
		UPDATE  UserConfig
		   SET	ConfigurationData   =	l_ConfigurationData
		 WHERE	UserId			 =	l_UserId
		   AND  ConfigurationId  =  l_ConfigurationId;

		RowsAffected := SQL%ROWCOUNT; 

		OPEN ret_cursor FOR 
    		 SELECT  RowsAffected as RowsAffected,
    		         SYSDATE  as UpdatedDateTime
    		   FROM  DUAL;
	--COMMIT;
	END USP_UserConfig_Update;


Let me know the better alternative.

Thanks,
Hemanth

Why are you passing back a ref cursor that point to this:
OPEN ret_cursor FOR 
SELECT  RowsAffected as RowsAffected,
        SYSDATE  as UpdatedDateTime
FROM    DUAL;

Why not pass back the two values?

In DOT Net Framework it is being handled in such a way that for all the similar procedures..I am returning the o/p results in the form of ref cursor...as they need in the form of result set from the other procedures...

If your .net framework requires all out parameters to be ref_cursors then it's rubbish and will impact the performance of your system.

As far as your error goes it'd help a lot if you could copy and paste the full stack trace of the error so we can see which line is raising it.
