 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.

My Oracle::OCI perl modules is close to being able to let you
stream a LOB into client memory and stream it back to the server,
possibly applying perl regular expressions along the way.

where DBMS_LOB.INSTR(YourClobColumn,UPPER(value_to_search_for))  0
and your_db_version = 8i
