How to change a dataype CLOB TO VARCHAR2(sql)


You may try this:

  1. Add a new column as varchar2

    alter table my_table add (new_column varchar2(1000));

  2. UPDATE CLOB name to varchar2 column;

    update my_table set new_column=dbms_lob.substr(old_column,1000,1);

After testing your data:

  1. DROP CLOB column

    alter table my_table drop column old_column

  2. Rename varchar2 column to CLOB column name

    alter table my_table rename column new_column to old_column
