OTL 4.0, Example 489 (UTF8 Insert/Select with CLOB, and LOB streams)

This example demonstrates simple UTF8 INSERT, SELECT, and constant SQL statements with CLOB columns, and LOB streams

Source Code

#include <iostream>

#include <stdio.h>
#define OTL_ORA9I // Compile OTL 4.0/OCI9i
#define OTL_ORA_UTF8 // Enable UTF8 OTL for OCI9i
#include <otlv4.h> // include the OTL 4.0 header file

otl_connect db; // connect object

void insert()
// insert rows into table

 otl_long_string f2(6000); // define long string variable

 otl_stream o(1, // buffer size has to be set to 1 for operations with CLOBs
              "insert into test_tab values(:f1<int>,empty_clob()) "

                  // when LOB stream mode is used.

                     // of bytes regardless of the buffer size.
