LOB Chunks

To continue with the previous test case, I'll insert a large enough LOB so that the change record is splitted into several chunks. To perform that operation :

• Setup the example as described in Streams LCRs and LOBs
• Insert a LOB that is large enough to guaranty it will be deleted
  

What is interesting is less the output than the number of chunks and the size of each chunks.

Insert a large CLOB

The script below create a LOB as a temporary resource and, once built, insert it in SOURCE.T9:

connect source/source

declare
  z clob;
begin
  DBMS_LOB.CREATETEMPORARY(z,true,DBMS_LOB.SESSION);
  for i in 1..20 loop
     dbms_lob.append(z,rpad('Z',1024,'Z'));
  end loop;
  insert into source.T9 values (2,z);
end;
/
commit;

connect strmadmin/strmadmin
set lines 1000
set serveroutput on
exec print_xml_fromq('MYQUEUE');

The result

You'll find below the output that matches the set of LCRs generated by the one only insert:
