Depends how you are getting that 4,000 characters
to the procedure, of course, but a pl/sql varchar2()
can in principle be 32,000 bytes.
And if that isn't enough, you may have to fall back
to dbms_sql which exposes a packaged type which
is an array of varchar2(255) so that you can build,
pass, and execute the array. (I think there's a
sample of this on my web site).

|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?
|
