Hi.
I've submitted a bug report (# 3222966) on this problem to Apple, but
would like to know about any possible workarounds from folks here.
The problem is this: If you try to do a query match against an attribute
whose external data type is CLOB, the qualifier looks like
text caseinsensitivelike '*<your entered text>*'
and WebObjects generates SQL that has
WHERE UPPER(T0.TEXT) LIKE UPPER(EMPTY_CLOB())
instead of what you'd expect:
WHERE UPPER(T0.TEXT) LIKE UPPER('*<your entered text>*')
and Oracle9i throws the exception "ORA-22275: invalid LOB locator
specified."
Do any of you know a workaround, short of writing raw SQL by hand? I'd
like to avoid that because of an existing structure that creates
qualifiers, and I would like to be able to use raw rows and EOs
interchangeably in certain instances.
I've also tried LONG, but it is scheduled for desupport by Oracle, and
Oracle 9i doesn't allow LIKE against a LONG. I'd use VARCHAR2 but for
Oracle's 4K limit on those; I need more room than this. I also tried the
hack of using VARCHAR2 or LONG in the model while keeping the CLOB on the
database column, but I get null results when retrieving the attribute of
interest.
There's a working sample application at
http://scribe.artlogic.com/scripts/WebObjects.dll/ClobTest which
demonstrates the problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John
