actually I just found this in the docs: The default width of datatype columns is the width of the column in the database. The column width of a LONG, CLOB, NCLOB or XMLType defaults to the value of SET LONGCHUNKSIZE or SET LONG, whichever is the smaller,
so I set BOTH LONG and LONGCHUNKSIZE to 32K and it worked beautifully. thx bill -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2002 5:29 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L If it's long then use: set long <big number> -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2002 5:09 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I've just begun playing with XML stuff in 9i (9.2.0) so please forgive what might be an obvious question . . . I have a query to select data - returns two rows, in XML format (using XMLELEMENT for each field). The results for each row get truncated, and I can't figure out which parameter controls this output - tried various SQL*Plus params (linesize, pagesize, etc) but no luck. this is the output - LOANAPP --------------------------- <LoanApplication> <LoanRec>24977</LoanRec> <LoanID>L024977</LoanID> <Borro <LoanApplication> <LoanRec>24977</LoanRec> <LoanID>L024977</LoanID> <Borro thanks bill -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Magaliff, Bill INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
