RE: How to prevent oracle from committing a transaction?
set autocommit off (in sqlplus) and i'm not sure but cant you set this to be the default to happen in some glogin.sql file ? -Original Message- Sent: 05 June 2001 08:30 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L 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?

RE: Working with a BLOB
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 -Original Message- Sent: 30 May 2001 23:30 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L 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?
