Re: [Zope] Long Data Type

2000-07-17 Thread Satheesh Babu

I'm using DCOracle compiled with  8.1.5 client on NT4.0.
Oracle SQL has a limitation of around 5K string literal
size, which prevents any manipulation of bigger strings.

One way to do this is to split strings using python/DTML
at this level and then insert one by one - I'm using this for
pure text content.

Another way is to upload strings/text files to a localFS folder,
from which an Oracle PL/SQL procedure loads them into
BLOB columns. Works nicely from Zope and I'm using this
method to even add MSWord documents into Oracle, which
are then indexed using interMedia search.

I'm using stored procedures by creating ZSQL methods like:
begin
  myprocedure();
end;

No problems so far.
