Re: [PHP] Help with PHP/Oracle and serializing data
If the data will be less than ~4K, use 'varchar2', otherwise use 'long'. - Tim http://www.phptemplates.org - Original Message - From: Michael Champagne [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PHP General Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 25, 2001 2:42 PM Subject: [PHP] Help with PHP/Oracle and serializing data I'm developing a web application and would like to be able to store the state of the application in an Oracle table by serializing a bunch of variables and storing them in the database.

Re: [PHP] Help with PHP/Oracle and serializing data
Tim, Thanks for the response. I'm kind of confused though. You can use a 'long' type for a string of characters greater than 4k?

Re: [PHP] Help with PHP/Oracle and serializing data
In Oracle, 'long' is a variable-length character data column up to 2GB in size. Roughly equivalent to 'text' in mysql, I think. You can also use 'blob', 'clob' and/or 'nclob' instead, but I think access to those types is less straightforward than the 'long' type. - Tim http://www.phptemplates.org Thanks for the response.

AW: [PHP] Help with PHP/Oracle and serializing data
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NEVER use long varchar2 for 4k or clob for longer does long still exist in oracle9 i thought it is supposed to be left out ( as soon as possible ) to your question at first : why don't you try to overwrite the php session handling funktions? serialisation is done by them and you need just to save in db look here : http://www.phpbuilder.net/columns/ying2602.php3 i always wanted to do that, but newer did... if you make it code snipplets are welcome :-] sebastian -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: infoz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Dienstag, 26.

I used them all over on a large PHP3 (and later PHP4) site for several years until we migrated to PostgreSQL in January, with no problems.
