PL/SQL :: Get Particular Value From Column Which Is BLOB Datatype?
Jul 31, 2013on this query. I need to get a particular value from a column which is a BLOB datatype. Here is the sample
data ID TESTDATA1 Best Buy

Application Express :: Retrieving Column Of Datatype RAW(16)
Oct 26, 2012I have a table defined where some columns are of the datatype RAW(16). In fact these are foreign keys to other tables. Our company has a policy that all primary keys are of the datatype RAW(16). Not much I can do about that.
Now I want to retrieve all columns of a certain row in that table and just visualize the foreign keys in hex format. All values are filled out nicely, except the columns with datatype RAW(16). Is there something special I have to do to retreive and display these? I defined an item as text-field for these, but this doesn't seem to be working...
I'm using APEX 4.1.1.00.23 at this moment...

SQL & PL/SQL :: Two Columns Can Have Long Datatype In Table?
Apr 27, 2010I have question related to LONG datatype. Actually from google and get to know that one table can have only one LONG datatype when i searched for reason . i got these resons:-
With 9i (I believe) and later versions, Oracle deprecates using the long datatype in favor of the lob (clob, nclob and blog) datatypes. It is only supported for backward compatibility.
Restriction:- It can not be used in create type as an attribute of the defined type.
It can not be used in where conditions.
There can be no indexes on long columns.
Regular Expression are not possible.
long can not be returned from a stored function.
SQL can not call functions that have an attribute of type long.
And even more restrictions.
So I want to know that is only reason because of that Oracle doesn't allow us to make two Column or is there any strong reason which make it more logical Like storing of data in Row blocks or some thing else.

Datatype Modification For Table With Huge Data
Aug 11, 2011Below is my requirement.
Need to change the precision of a column in a existing table. Statistics about the table
* has over 130 columns
* More than 300 million records
* Column to modify is #121 which has data
* No primary key defined
Since the column has data, it is not possible to modify with a simple Alter.
Second option - create temp column in same table, update from original, put null in original, alter, update back from temp, drop the temp column. This approach is very expensive and time consuming.
Also the Column ID needs to preserved as #121.

As per my knowledge, RANGE is better suited for DATE or NUMBER. and INTERVAL partition is possible on DATE or NUMBEr . Column PROFILEIts is of VARCHAR2 datatype. I know still I can partition as Oracle internally convert varchar2 to number while inserting data. But INTERVAL is not possible. How to RANGE partition on PROFILE ?
