Issue:
In SQL-Toolkit plugin, certain data types like BLOB, CLOB and Long Binary are unsupported. If an SQL query returned these data types, the Active Console may display a message similar to the below:
Solution:
We suggest users to rewrite the query with SQL functions that convert the data to readable formats. We have provided an example in this article for CLOB data type. Users should consult the relevant database documentations as appropriate.
- In this example, the column named "COL2" is of CLOB data type in an Oracle database. We will use the CAST and SUBSTR functions for the conversion. The purpose of SUBSTR function is to trim down the output to 1000 characters should the source data is huge.
- This is the SQL query that we use:
SELECT col1, cast(substr(col2,1,1000) as varchar(1000)) AS col2 FROM clob_table
-
The Active Console output is provided below.
Note : INTERVAL datatype
| MySQL / Maria DB |
SQL-Toolkit plugin currently does not support the INTERVAL data type specific to MySQL databases. The following error may appear on the Active Console. unsupported::interval If the user is trying to use MySQL's SEC_TO_TIME function, the SUBSTRING function can be combined to make the string conversion. For example: SUBSTRING(SEC_TO_TIME(t1.start_time),1,8) as "Logged Time" |
| Oracle |
Some users on older Netprobe versions reported encountering problems with Oracle INTERVAL data type. The following error message was returned. ORA-01406: fetched column value was truncated We have tested the INTERVAL data type (INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH / INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND) to work in Geneos versions GA3.6 and GA4.x. Users are advised to upgrade the Netprobe to newer releases. |
