I'm trying to create a table 'a' with column name as 'flag' and datatype as 'boolean' ie. create table a(flag boolean);
is it possible in sql or pl/sql in oracle?
If its possible to create a table and also let me now inserting row and what boolean should return.
I would need to convert the column datatype from BLOB to CLOB. currently in the table, the BLOB column has the data. the requirement is to convert this column from BLOB to CLOB datatype.
How to convert from BLOB datatype to CLOB datatype ?

I 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.
a) What if i want to find out the Datatype of a specific column in the Table.
b) How do i find the Column Datatypes?

Below 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.
Is it possible to replace datatype of column of one table with another table's column datatype using %type like below
SQL>create table test1 (v1 varchar2(10));
SQL>create table test2 (v1 test1.v1%type);

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 ? Column CREATED_ON :It is of NUMBER with decimal

PROCEDURE tmp_proc (...,
out_param_resultset OUT g_cursor_type )

How do I return the table (referenced by a cursor) without creating objects?
I am trying to create a csv file with summarized data. We have a huge table with claim details that is constantly being updated. I am pulling a subset of records that match my criteria into a tempory table (not technically an Oracle temporary table, a regular table that will only exist until I drop it when I am done). This table has multiple entries per claim with different effective dates, paid dates and amounts paid. The result file needs to have one entry per claim with the oldest effective and paid dates and the total of all of the amounts paid on that claim.
Originally I was doing create table new_table as select claim_nbr,other data...,min(ymdeff),min(ymdpaid),sum(amtpay) from my_table group by claim_nbr,other data...
If I ran a select sum(amtpay) from my_table and select sum(amtpay) from new_table I was not getting the same results... If I ran select count (*) from (select distinct claim_nbr from my_table) and select count (*) from (select distinct claim_nbr from new_table) or select count (*) from new_table I was getting the same number of rows. So I wasn't completely losing claims from one table to the next, just some of the details. So, I tried running this:
select * from
(select claim_nbr,sum(amtpay) paysum from my_table
group by claim_nbr
order by claim_nbr) m,
(select claim_nbr,sum(amtpay) paysum from new_table
group by claim_nbr
order by claim_nbr) n
where
m.claim_nbr = n.claim_nbr and
m.paysum <> n.paysum;
It came back with the claim number causing the issue. I looked at all the entries in my_table for that claim and every field was identical except the ymdeff, ymdpaid and amtpay. There were 4 records in my_table however the amtpay in new_table was only a sum of 2 of the records... I our admin look over my shoulder to see what was wrong and they wanted me to recreate new_table. So I dropped new_table and ran the exact same SQL to recreate the table. The number of distinct claim numbers was still the same in both tables and the sum of new_table was off but not by the same amount. I ran my comparison to see which claim was off and now there were two claims where the totals didn't match and neither were the same as the claim that was wrong that first time. We dropped new_table and recreated it several times and every time we got different results... No one else knows the name of my_table so no one was messing with it at the same time plus the sum of amtpay in my_table always comes back the same.
Our admin said he thought he remembered there being something "funny" with the min function sometime so he had me remove those fields. Ran the query several times and the total came out correct each time. Well I still need the dates so I came up with another way (very convoluted) using subqueries and ranking. It seemed to work at first then it started losing random numbers of claims (fewer rows in new_table than distinct claims in my_table) or keeping all the claims but dropping detail lines like I had using the min functions.
Here is the backwards way around using min that drops whole claims sometimes but works fine other times:
CREATE table new_table
as
(select claim_nbr,other data...,amtpay,ymdeff,ymdpaid
from
(select claim_nbr,other data... ,sum(amtpay) amtpay
from my_table
group by claim_nbr,other data...
