Insert into your column of table like this:
'text first line' || chr(13) || 'text next line'

Reading whether text has carriage return:
instr( column_name,chr(13))>0;

Disclaimer: in Oracle - not sure about the rest.

Subject: Carriage return for Oracle


Well, although it's a bit off topic, but what I want is to enter a carriage
return in a insert statement when I do a DML statement in Oracle but not
servlet-wise.
===========================================================================

It really depends on the language you are using to interpret the results
from the database. For example, if you include a <br> (i.e. 1st line<br>2nd
line<br>3rd line<br>) and display the results from the query in HTML, you
should get a display of:
1st line
2nd line
3rd line

Replace <br> in this concept with whatever is a new line character delimiter
in the language you are using to display the results.

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to insert a carriage return for a char type in a Oracle
command statement?
Example:
Insert into <tablename> values (1,'1st line
2nd line
3rd line');
Thanks all
