JP, No, but you can make multiple 4000 char strings and concat it all together:
sel1 varchar2(4000); sel2 varchar2(4000); where_clause varchar2(4000); order_by_clause varchar2(4000); begin open my_cursor for sel1 || sel2 || where_clause || order_by_clause; I do it all the time! Hope this helps. Tom Mercadante Oracle Certified Professional -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 1:44 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hello I'm using variable sqlstr VARCHAR2(4000) in procedure to create SELECT string. But the length of my SELECT * FROM .... is bigger than 4000 chars. Is there a way how to call OPEN my_cursor FOR sqlstr; for sqlstr longer than 4000 signs?
