In Oracle database, a CLOB (Character Large Object) is a data type used to store large text data. To query the content of a CLOB field, you can use the following methods:

  1. Use the DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR function:
  2. Retrieve a substring of a CLOB column within a specified length from the database table based on a specified condition.
  3. In this case, clob_column is the name of the CLOB field, and length is the desired length of the content to extract.
  4. Retrieve the length of a CLOB field using the DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH function, then use the SUBSTR function to extract a portion.
  5. Retrieve the content from a CLOB column in your_table based on a specific condition.
  6. This method can retrieve the entire content of the CLOB field.
  7. Convert the CLOB to a BLOB using the TO_LOB function, and then read the BLOB data using the DBMS_LOB.READ function.
  8. Retrieve the content of a CLOB column in your table based on a specified condition.
  9. This method is suitable for storing binary data in CLOB fields, such as images or document files.

Please note that “your_table” and “your_condition” in the above methods represent your table name and query condition, respectively, and should be replaced according to the actual situation.
