hello,
i am writing a perl script that genrates an update statement and call sqlplus and updates. i am having a problem. wehn i try to update something that has more than one line sql plus hangs up. for example:
update emp
set description = 'Lance Choad
is a very
good worker'
where name='Choad';
this will send to sqlplus:
update emp
set description = 'Lance Choad
is there any way to make it so it'll read and update the entire block of text includign the newlines?
Thanks a lot,
Lance Choad

Try this one:
update emp
set description = 'Lance Choad'||chr(10)||
'is a very '||chr(10)||
'good worker'
where name='Choad';
