Hi,

I have a scenario where in i need to connect to Oracle and get data from a table which contains CLOB datatype value. Below is my code:

Dim ConnectionString As String
Dim SQL_String As String
Set con = New ADODB.Connection
Set recset = New ADODB.Recordset
Oracle_Data_Source = "perf01"
Oracle_User = "PERF_OWNER"
Oracle_Password = "PERF_OWNER"
ConnectionString = "Provider=msdaora;Data Source=" + Oracle_Data_Source + "; User Id=" + Oracle_User + "; Password=" + Oracle_Password

con.ConnectionString = ConnectionString
con.Open con.ConnectionString

SQL_String = "select ID,dbms_lob.substr(bus_key,25,10) from MDI_WORK"

recset.Open SQL_String, con, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly

Do While Not recset.EOF
Debug.Print recset.Fields(0).Value
Debug.Print recset.Fields(1).Value
Loop

When i try to execute this code, getting "Application Defined or Object Defined error '1004'", Pls help me.
 

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
Which line causes the error?

(I suspect your problem is in the dbms_lob.substr(bus_key,25,10) part)

Till below statement it executes fine, once i execute below it gives error. might be with dbms_lob only.

Debug.Print recset.Fields(0).Value

I suspect the value is Null then.

Ya, record count is -1 when i execute with Debug.Print recset.RecordCount, But when i execute the same query in Oracle, i get 19 records.

No, I mean I expect the field is actually Null, not that there are no records. (whether or not recordcount is accurate depends on various factors such as cursors)

Are you checking in the recordset or in the table?
