hi i have an field has OracleClob type.I want to cast this as my string data.How can i do it in c# ?
[MapField("MSG_BODY")]
public Oracle.DataAccess.Types.OracleClob MsgBody { get; set; }
i want to set MsgBody : "This is a sample";
I have to define an oracleclob object and fill it as string text.
According to the Oracle documentation you need to write it with a buffered array, so something like this:
char[] writeBuffer = "This is a sample".ToCharArray();
this.MsgBody.Write(writerBuffer, 0, writeBuffer.Length);
this.MsgBody.Close();
this.MsgBody.Dispose();
and bear in mind I'm assuming you've created the OracleClob with an open OracleConnection.
OracleClob with a connection. If this is being done by the framework you're leveraging, fine, I'm just letting you know that an OracleClob isn't a plain old class - it's special and requires some interesting initialization and interaction.I've never touched Oracle, but according to the documentation you can handle it like a byte stream.
Add a StreamWriter and you should be able to do
var sw = new StreamWriter(MsgBody, Encoding.UTF8); // Assuming you want UTF-8
sw.Write("This is a sample");
sw.Flush();
