limit on characters passed??

[danmul]

Hi, I have a web page that I paste an excel sheet into a text area. When I click on save it uploads these values into teh database. My problem is that if the number of characters is over 32,500(around this figure, probably 37,760) the page fails. Is this because the most a value can hold 32,760? It is an oracle db. If this is the case how do I get around this problem??
Thanks,
daniel.

Some browsers (not sure which cause it doesn't come up often) impose their own limits on the amount of data you can enter in a textarea. It sounds like whatever browser you're using has a 64 kilobyte limit.

You could think about using a file input field so the user can upload the file instead, though you would need extra scripting on the server to deal with that.

Hi,
I just received an answer from oracle. The oracle HTTP server has a limitation. The max post size in modplsql is around 32000 characters. Dont know how to get around this one. I need to upload a supplier catalogue into the database???
Thanks,
Daniel.

I don't think the answer is going to come from Javascript, danmul. Try an Oracle forum.

like theboyhope said its better u do that in oracle forum, but if it still doesnt lead u anywhere i guess u may have to write some kind of compression script. e.x: all The will become T...
