Hi,
I have a problem when comparing CLOBs using - instead of LIKE.
Here is the use case:
ij> connect 'jdbc:derby:foo;create=true';
ij> create table foo (id int, data clob);
0 rows inserted/updated/deleted
ij> insert into foo values (1, 'joe the plumber');
1 row inserted/updated/deleted
ij> select * from foo where data LIKE 'joe the plumber';
ID |DATA
------------------------------------------------------------
1 |joe the plumber
1 row selected
ij> select * from foo where data='joe the plumber';
ERROR 42818: Comparisons between 'CLOB (UCS_BASIC)' and 'CHAR
(UCS_BASIC)' are not supported. Types must be comparable. String types
must also have matching collation. If collation does not match, a
possible solution is to cast operands toforce them to the default
collation (e.g. SELECT tablename FROM sys.systables WHERE CAST(tablename
AS VARCHAR(128)) = 'T1')
I kind of expected that one so I did cast as follows:
ij> select * from foo where data=CAST('joe the plumber' AS CLOB);
ERROR 42818: Comparisons between 'CLOB (UCS_BASIC)' and 'CLOB
(UCS_BASIC)' are not supported. Types must be comparable. String types
must also have matching collation. If collation does not match, a
possible solution is to cast operands to force them to the default
collation (e.g. SELECT tablename FROM sys.systables WHERE CAST(tablename
AS VARCHAR(128)) = 'T1')
The same things happens if I use PreparedStatement.setClob(). Can't we
compare 2 CLOBs with = ?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Emmanuel
