Finding length of xml or CLOB data type

TinaMay 16 2016 — edited May 17 2016

Hi Gurus,

What would be the best way to retrieve the length of a XML or CLOB data type?

Could we simply use 'length' function?

I have a scenario where I need to find a way to validate if the clob and xml column is valid or not?

I cannot use simply 'is column null' logic because in some scenario, we might just get the header of the XML.

Thanks

Tina
