EXPORT AS INSERT STATEMENTS: But in SQL Plus the line overrides 2500 characters!
- by The chicken in the kitchen
Hello, I have to export an Oracle table as INSERT STATEMENTS.
But the INSERT STATEMENTS so generated, override 2500 characters.
I am obliged to execute them in SQL Plus, so I receive an error message.
This is my Oracle table:
CREATE TABLE SAMPLE_TABLE
(
C01 VARCHAR2 (5 BYTE) NOT NULL,
C02 NUMBER (10) NOT NULL,
C03 NUMBER (5) NOT NULL,
C04 NUMBER (5) NOT NULL,
C05 VARCHAR2 (20 BYTE) NOT NULL,
c06 VARCHAR2 (200 BYTE) NOT NULL,
c07 VARCHAR2 (200 BYTE) NOT NULL,
c08 NUMBER (5) NOT NULL,
c09 NUMBER (10) NOT NULL,
c10 VARCHAR2 (80 BYTE),
c11 VARCHAR2 (200 BYTE),
c12 VARCHAR2 (200 BYTE),
c13 VARCHAR2 (4000 BYTE),
c14 VARCHAR2 (1 BYTE) DEFAULT 'N' NOT NULL,
c15 CHAR (1 BYTE),
c16 CHAR (1 BYTE)
);
ASSUMPTIONS:
a) I am OBLIGED to export table data as INSERT STATEMENTS; I am allowed to use UPDATE statements, in order to avoid the SQL*Plus error "sp2-0027 input is too long(2499 characters)";
b) I am OBLIGED to use SQL*Plus to execute the script so generated.
c) Please assume that every record can contain special characters: CHR(10), CHR(13), and so on;
d) I CAN'T use SQL Loader;
e) I CAN'T export and then import the table: I can only add the "delta" using INSERT / UPDATE statements through SQL Plus.
