DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.CLOB2FILE Example Script to Write a CLOB data to file















In our current project,  we have a requirement for writing a data stored in CLOB column to a file. We found a standard ORACLE API DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.CLOB2FILE

In this post, we have tried to explain the same API with an example. We hope it helps.

API Specification:

DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.CLOB2FILE(
      cl          IN  CLOB,
      flocation   IN  VARCHAR2,
      fname       IN  VARCHAR2,
      CSID        IN  NUMBER:=0);

Script:

SET SERVEROUTPUT ON:
DECLARE 
   -- CLOB data
   lv_clob  CLOB   DEFAULT 'This is a example testing by SHAREORACLEAPPS'; 
   -- Database directory for a physical location
   lv_utl_file_directory   VARCHAR2 (100) DEFAULT 'TEST_DB_DIRECTORY'; 
   -- Output Filename                            
   lv_file_name        VARCHAR2 (100) DEFAULT 'TESTFILE.txt'; 
BEGIN 
   DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.clob2file (lv_clob,
                                lv_utl_file_directory,
                                lv_file_name
                               );
EXCEPTION
   WHEN OTHERS
   THEN
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('Error :' || SQLERRM);
END;
