Dear DBA Gurus,

Can you tell me how to prevent oracle from committing a transaction
unless
I explicitly commit it.  I have observed that when I insert a record into a
table and type exit from the sql prompt without commiting the transaction
and again open a new sqlplus session and select from that particular table
the record is inserted.  How do I prevent oracle from inserting into a table
unless I explicitly specify commit?  Please note that I have set my sqlplus
session as autocommit off.  I tried with alter table tablename nologging
but it didn't do what I wanted.  Can anybody help me in this regard?

TIA and Regards,

Ranganath

RE: Working with a BLOB

2001-05-31 Thread Vipul Lakhani

just a guess but try 

select dbms_lob.instr(blob_col, '.com')
from atable
where dbms_lob.instr(blob_col, '.com') between 0 an 75

I've been through the documentation on LOBs but am
still stuck trying to figure out how to interrogate
the contents of a BLOB.

We have a table with a BLOB column in it. All it
contains in text data (i.e. memo notes). Why it was
created as a BLOB and not a CLOB is unknown to me and
done before I was hired. All I need to do is determine
if a particular string ('.com') pattern exists in the
column, within the first 75 bytes, and return its
starting position.

Would someone help me out? Thanks!
