getClob() method

[dnicolle]

Hi,

I'm running oracle version 10.2.0.4. I have a select statement to access a table but part of the select statement invokes the getClob() method. The select statement fails when it reaches the getClob(). When I remove the getClob() method it succeeds! What permission is required that would allow a user to call this method?

Script

SELECT
E.XXXXX_ID, E.YYYYYYYY_ID, E.ZZZZZZZZ_ID,
E.MESSAGE_TYPE, E.IIP_ID, E.XXXXXXX_UI.getClob() as msg,
E.CREATE_TIME, E.STATUS, E.SENDER_ID,
E.RECEIVER_ID
FROM RERERE.BHU_MESSAGE_REFS E
--WHERE E.XXXXXXX_ID = '1111111111111'
WHERE E.YYYYYYYYY_ID = '123456789-asdfghjk';

Hi.

The getclob is a method of a type. If the column is an Xmltype, or some other complex type containing the getclob method then it should work. If it is just a varchar2 it will fail. So it's not a permission thing. It's a data type thing.

Cheers

Thanks Tim,

The column is URITYPE. After a little research I ended up adding the application account to the XDBADMIN account to get it working.
