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

To solve this issue on my side, I had to use a combo of what was already proposed there

DECLARE
  chunk1 CLOB; chunk2 CLOB; chunk3 CLOB;
BEGIN
  chunk1 := 'very long literal part 1';
  chunk2 := 'very long literal part 2';
  chunk3 := 'very long literal part 3';

  INSERT INTO table (MY_CLOB)
  SELECT ( chunk1 || chunk2 || chunk3 ) FROM dual;
END;

Hope this helps.
