I need to check the current size of some xmltype column in a BIU trigger.
I don't think it's good to use
length(:new.xml_data.GetStringVal());
or
dbms_lob.GetLength(:new.xml_data.GetClobVal());
What's the most efficient way to get the storage size?
I don't need the string serialized size.
It could also be the internal storage size (incl. administration data overhead).
- thanks!
regards,
Frank
