I have another CLOB question, what is the best way to do a
search-and-replace?

Something like a c/oldvalue/newvvalue/ on the SQL*Plus command line, or
$variable =~ s/oldvalue/newvalue/; in Perl. 

The only thing I can think of right now would be using INSTR to locate
the value I want, SUBSTR to extract the parts of the document either
side of it, then APPEND to create a new CLOB with first part, new value,
last part... but this seems a bit inelegant.

Thanks,

g
