If the LOB field is empty in the Oracle database, the issue can be resolved using the following method:

  1. Fill the LOB field with NULL values: You can set a LOB field to NULL by using an UPDATE statement. For example: UPDATE table SET lob_column = NULL WHERE condition;
  2. Delete LOB field: If the data in the LOB field is no longer needed, you can delete it using the DELETE statement. For example: DELETE FROM table WHERE condition;
  3. Fill the LOB field with default values: If the LOB field has a default value defined, you can use the ALTER TABLE statement to restore it to the default value. For example: ALTER TABLE table MODIFY lob_column DEFAULT default_value;
  4. Update the LOB field: If the LOB field needs to contain a specific value, you can use the UPDATE statement to update it to the desired value. For example: UPDATE table SET lob_column = ‘new_value’ WHERE condition;

Please ensure that you have backed up the database before making any modifications to avoid accidental data loss.
