An Example of Dynamic SQL Using a CLOB

May 22, 2020 1-minute read

SQL

You might not know this, but you can use the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE command with a CLOB, the same as with a VARCHAR2 variable.

declare
  l_sql clob;
  l_str1 varchar2(32767);
  l_str2 varchar2(32767);
begin
  dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_sql, false);

  l_str1 := 'some large SQL chunk';
  l_str2 := 'and the rest of large SQL chunk';

  l_sql := l_str1;
  dbms_lob.writeappend(l_sql, length(l_str2), l_str2);

  execute immediate l_sql;

  dbms_lob.freetemporary(l_sql);

end;
