Display HTML from CLOB inside reports region

620852Sep 8 2010 — edited Sep 9 2010
Hi,

I have a table called document with two columns:
create table document (
  title varchar2 not null,
  description clob not null
);
+-----------+--------------------------------------------+
| TITLE     | DESCRIPTION                                |
+-----------+--------------------------------------------+
| title 1   | <span><font face="Tahoma" size="1">title 1 |
|           | description</font></span>                  |
+-----------+--------------------------------------------+
The question is since the description column contains html, when I try to retrieve the value using a reports region (using a SQL query), it doesn't display the actual formatting. Rather it displays this:
<span><font face="Tahoma" size="1">title 1 description</font></span>
I would like to display the formatting just by retrieving the html from the CLOB column. Any thoughts on how I can achieve that? Do I need to change it into a different region (such as PL/SQL or HTML)?
