Hi!

I'm trying to export a table with blob (encrypted xml data) and character(unique identifier of blob column) data into a "|" delimited text file. I found a script using UTL_FILE to export blob data, but i'm having hard time to create a script getting all the blob data and it's identifier.


Here is my script:

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE GEN_BLOB
AS
v_lob_loc BLOB;
v_id_xi CHAR(100);
v_batchid CHAR(10);
v_buffer RAW(32767);
v_buffer_size BINARY_INTEGER;
v_amount BINARY_INTEGER;
v_offset NUMBER(38) := 1;
v_chunksize INTEGER;
v_out_file UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;

BEGIN
FOR i IN (SELECT ID_XML_IMAGE v_id_xi,
XML_IMAGE v_lob_loc
FROM TABLENAME)

LOOP

select XML_IMAGE
INTO v_lob_loc
from TABLENAME;

v_chunksize := DBMS_LOB.GETCHUNKSIZE(i.v_lob_loc);

IF (v_chunksize < 32767) THEN
v_buffer_size := v_chunksize;
ELSE
v_buffer_size := 32767;
END IF;

v_amount := v_buffer_size;

DBMS_LOB.OPEN( i.v_lob_loc,DBMS_LOB.LOB_READONLY);

v_out_file := UTL_FILE.FOPEN(
location => 'ARCH_DIR',
filename => 'XML_IMAGE_'||i.v_id_xi || '.txt',
open_mode => 'wb',
max_linesize => 32767);


WHILE v_amount >= v_buffer_size
LOOP

DBMS_LOB.READ(
lob_loc => i.v_lob_loc,
amount => v_amount,
offset => v_offset,
buffer => v_buffer);

v_offset := v_offset + v_amount;

UTL_FILE.PUT_RAW (
file => v_out_file,
buffer => v_buffer,
autoflush => true);

UTL_FILE.FFLUSH(file => v_out_file);


END LOOP;

UTL_FILE.FFLUSH(file => v_out_file);

UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(v_out_file);

DBMS_LOB.CLOSE(v_lob_loc);
END LOOP;
END;

Welcome to the forum.
Please read and follow How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read?

If your code isn't doing what you want it would help if you told us what it was doing instead.

Hello! Noted on the rules for code tags.

The script produces this error:

Error report -
ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows
ORA-06512: at "SCHEMA.GEN_FILE", line 24
ORA-06512: at line 1
01422. 00000 - "exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows"
*Cause: The number specified in exact fetch is less than the rows returned.
*Action: Rewrite the query or change number of rows requested

select XML_IMAGE INTO v_lob_loc from TABLENAME;
V_LOB_LOC is a scalar (holds only single value)
There is no WHERE clause so SELECT returns MANY rows which can't be jammed into single variable.
INTO V_LOB_LOC requires only single row to be returned.
