Error : ORA-01704: string literal too long

Question

While I try to set the value of over 4000 characters on a field that has data type CLOB, it gives me this error :

ORA-01704: string lite

Answer 1

Try to split the characters into multiple chunks like the query below and try:

Insert into table (clob_column) values ( to_clob( 'chunk 1' ) || to_clob( 'chunk 2' ) );

It worked for me.
