Hello all,
I''m stuck again.  I''m in my 5th month of Ruby on Rails and
getting
better but...
I''m uploading a .csv file using Paperclip and FasterCSV, then
processing
the file after the upload is complete.
Small files work fine.  I tested a larger file and found that one cell
had 13,000 chars. needless to say the ORA-01704 was thrown.
When processing the file, I do line by line.
- controller -
def proc_csv
    @import = Import.find(params[:id])
    puts @import.csv.path
    lines = parse_csv_file(@import.csv.path)
    lines.shift #comment this line out if your CSV file doesn''t contain
a header row
    if lines.size > 0
      @import.processed = lines.size
      lines.each do |line|
        case @import.datatype
          when "irb"
            new_irb(line)
          end
      end
      @import.save
        flash[:notice] = "CSV data processing was successful."
        redirect_to :action => "show", :id => @import.id
    else
      flash[:error] = "CSV data processing failed."
      render :action => "show", :id => @import.id
    end
  end
 private
  def parse_csv_file(path_to_csv)
    lines = []
    #
    require ''fastercsv''
    FasterCSV.foreach(path_to_csv) do |row|
      lines << row
    end
    lines
  end
  def new_irb(line)
    params = Hash.new
    params[:irb] = Hash.new
    params[:irb]["irb_number"] = line[0]
    params[:irb]["pi_full_name"] = line[1]
    params[:irb]["cr_quest_split"] = line[2]
    params[:irb]["cr_and_ct_split"] = line[3]
    params[:irb]["old_master_list"] = line[4]
    params[:irb]["title"] = line[5]
    params[:irb]["status_of_irb"] = line[6]
    params[:irb]["expiration_date"] = line[7]
    params[:irb]["review_level"] = line[8]
    params[:irb]["category"] = line[9]
    irb = Irb.new(params[:irb])
    irb.save
  end
The "title" is where the huge cell is.
I''ve done some research and I know that Oracle''s datatype
''Clob'' will
hold the size but only at 4,000 chars. at a time.
I''m just wondering how to do it?
Thank you for any help with this.

Here''s how I do it in PHP, perhaps you can port the code: function updateCLOBs( $table, $id, $keys, $values ) { $count = count( $keys ); if( $count != count( $values ) ) die( "key and value counts don''t match" ); for( $x = 0; $x < $count; $x++ ) { $sql = " UPDATE $table SET $keys[$x] = EMPTY_CLOB() WHERE id = $id RETURNING $keys[$x] INTO :$keys[$x] "; $query = OCIParse( $GLOBALS[ ''DBH'' ], $sql ); $lob = OCINewDescriptor( $GLOBALS[ ''DBH'' ], OCI_D_LOB ); OCIBindByName( $query, ":$keys[$x]", $lob, -1, OCI_B_CLOB ); OCIExecute( $query, OCI_DEFAULT ) or die( "Unable to execute query\n" ); if( !$lob->save( $values[ $x ] ) ) { OCIRollback( $GLOBALS[ ''DBH'' ] ); die("Unable to update lob\n"); } OCICommit( $GLOBALS[ ''DBH'' ] ); $lob->free(); OCIFreeStatement( $query ); } return $id; } -- Greg Donald destiney.com | gregdonald.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thank you for replying. I don''t quite understand what you''re doing.

I would hope that the Ruby Oracle database adaptor would take care dealing with the CLOB field. You shouldn''t have to worry about that yourself. Have you actually tired to store the 13 K byte string in a CLOB field? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks for the reply.> I would hope that the Ruby Oracle database > adaptor would take care dealing with the CLOB field.I had the standard Oracle Adapter but decided to install the Oracle Enhanced Adapter.> Have you actually tired to store the 13 K byte string in a CLOB field?No, next thing to try.

>> Have you actually tired to store the 13 K byte string in a CLOB field?I did a simple copy/paste of the 13K data into the CLOB field and it worked fine. I checked the "show" view and the data is there.
