How to convert string to clob?

Question

I have procedure

PROCEDURE test_proc (text IN Clob) as
Begin
  insert into table_name values(SYSDATE,xmltype.createxml(text));
end ;

And I run

begin
  test_proc('.....text...');
end;

Length of the text is 64.8 KB

erorr: PLS-00172:string literal too long

But, If I insert the text into Value/Expresion (SQL Navigator 6.7.0 Relase) and execute the procedure -> PL/SQL block executed

Answer 1

The problem is not with the conversion, the problem is with your string literal. It is too big for the Oracle SQL parser to handle.

Maybe load the CLOB from a file instead?
