I have the following in a blob column:
18 21:20:48 CDT 2001: Customer notified of: Order
Accepted
Wed Apr 18 22:11:09
CDT 2001: Order cancelled: demo
Wed Apr 18 22:11:09 CDT 2001: Flagged for
Review.
When I run the following via SQL*Plus:
----
select
dbms_lob.instr(order_text,utl_raw.cast_to_raw('Customer'),1,1)
from order_help where order_id=5944108;
----
I get the answer: 103
What's up with that? :) Shouldn't I be getting back a
result of 23 (give or take 1)?
The contents of the BLOB column (order_text) were
converted from a LONG RAW using the TO_LOB( )
function, prior to the above query.
Thanks again!
