OTL 4.0, Example 486 (Unicode Insert/Select with NCLOB)

This example demonstrates simple UTF8 INSERT, SELECT, and constant SQL statements with NCLOB columns..

Source Code

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

#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(70000); // define long string variable
 db.set_max_long_size(70000); // set maximum long string size for connect object

 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())"
              "returning f2 into :f2<nclob>", 
                 // SQL statement
              db // connect object
             );

   // create select stream
 
 float f1;

   // SELECT automatically executes when all input variables are
   // assigned. First portion of output rows is fetched to the buffer

}

                                // if its default was set to something else

 otl_connect::otl_initialize(); // initialize OCI environment
