I have a column in a table that is defined as a blob. I was able to get text into a result column by using the SQL command, utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR(field_name, 2000, 1)).
However, the result comes back formatted as <P>Blah:</P><P>Blah, blah, blah, blah</P>, etc. I need to put this text in a report, but do not want the <P> to appear.
Can someone help me to format the result to remove the <P>, perhaps some addition to the SQL command that would format it properly or maybe point me to a help page for this type of issue?
Any help would be appreciated or if more information is needed I would be glad to provide.
Thanks.
