In the application I'm reviewing a clob is written like this:

- insert a row with an empty clob (with EMPTY_CLOB())
- select the clob-column with the empty clob to get the lob locator
- update the row to write the new clob with "meaningful" data

Now I'm told that performance is better when the lob locator is returned by the insert statement. I know that the syntax for the sql is like that:

insert into <table_name> (<attribute list> values(<attributes>,EMPTY_CLOB()) returning <clob column> into clob_selected;

Can anybody help me doing this in Java? I'd appreciate your help very much but don't be angry if I don't reply for hours on end. I'm in Germany and my working day is almost over...

I'd like to add that the difficult part for me is the returning clause.

THe performance will depend on the database. Are you using Oracle as the DB?

In Oracle, you may notice a performance benefit if you use the native Oracle Driver APIs to insert an empty clob first, and then update the CLOB afterwards.

However, in MySQL, inserting the CLOB directly may give you better performance.

Joseph, the database is Oracle.
