One of the | -- | biggest differences between creating a CLOB in Oracle8 and | -- | Oracle8i or higher is the use of the INDEX clause within the LOB| -- | clause declaration. In Oracle8 it is possible to name the LOB | -- | INDEX and declare a tablespace and storage clause for it. With | -- | versions Oracle8i and higher, it is still possible to name the | -- | INDEX LOB SEGMENT using the INDEX clause but these versions of | -- | Oracle (8i and higher) will simply ignore anything else within | -- | the INDEX clause (like tablespaces and storage clause.) From | -- | what I have read Oracle is deprecating the tablespace and | -- | storage clauses from being used within the INDEX clause. | -- | NOTE : As with any code, ensure to test this script in a development | -- | environment before attempting to run it in production. | -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ DROP TABLE xml_documents / CREATE TABLE xml_documents ( docname VARCHAR2(200) , xmldoc CLOB , log CLOB , timestamp DATE ) LOB (xmldoc) STORE AS xml_documents_lob ( TABLESPACE lob_data STORAGE ( INITIAL 1m NEXT 1m PCTINCREASE 0 MAXEXTENTS unlimited ) INDEX xml_documents_lob_idx ) LOB (log) STORE AS xml_log_lob ( TABLESPACE lob_data STORAGE ( INITIAL 1m NEXT 1m PCTINCREASE 0 MAXEXTENTS unlimited ) INDEX xml_log_lob_idx ) TABLESPACE users STORAGE ( INITIAL 256k NEXT 256k MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS 121 PCTINCREASE 0 ) /
