SQL & PL/SQL :: Changing Field Type In Oracle Table
Dec 13, 2011
I have uploaded some tables from MS Access to Oracle and in the process, some Number fields have been converted to Text. This means that any Queries where there are calculations with those fields (which have been converted to text) don't work properly anymore.
I would like to change the field type from text to number (with cmd and sqlplus) as that's the only way I can access the oracle backend.
I am not sure what commands to use to change this.
Also, if I change the data type from text to number, is it likely I will lose some data?
And how do I backup the table before I do this?

We are facing below issue in Oracle forms 10g( Rel 10.1.2.0.2) with Windows XP professional.Application server J2EE 10.1.2.0.2).
We have a multirecords block. After navigating to last record by clicking mouse in scroll bar and change values in a column by clicking mouse in column to change, cursor control is moving to some other record(where cursor is located previously) and current changed value it is showing as not fully validated.
Eg: We have columns like below in multirecords block
Security Price Date Price
--------------- ------ ----
1 1/1/2011 12.00
2 1/1/2011 16.00
3 1/1/2011 18.00
4 1/1/2011 19.00 (Last Record)
If am changing last records price to 20 then press tab key, cursor will be moved to second record and cursor will be highlighted in security 2. column price where we changed to 20 also not validated to show as 20.00 with 2 decimal format mask.Along with this we are getting below error message ' FRM-41008 - Undefined function key, press Ctrl + F1 for list of valid keys.After changing the price we are pressing the tab key only.
This occurs randomnly and when we querying more than 2000 records with multiple times.

i have changed date's format and the calendar type in sqlplus through the following command so the date's format and the calender type both changed successfully and work, but in oracle form the they haven't changed.
alter session set nls_calendar='persian';
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT='YYYY/MM/DD';
ALTER SYSTEM SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT='YYYY/MM/DD' SCOPE=SPFILE;
Note: i know session would change the format temporally but i want to change it permanently so i tried alter_system but still no result

I have created the below types and oracle objects.
create or replace type T_SETDEL_RESP_REC as object
(
respCode number,
respDesc varchar2(255)
)
--
create or replace type T_EMA_NP_RANGE_LNPTICKET_REC as object
(
ticket number
)
create or replace type T_RANGE_TICKET_TAB AS TABLE OF T_RANGE_TICKET_REC
The following type is created in the Package specification
type t_resp_rec IS RECORD
(
resp_code number,
resp_desc varchar2(255)
);
I have the following two procedures
Procedure getResponse(p_call_request_id IN number, p_resp_rec IN t_setdel_resp_rec,
p_range_ticket_tab IN t_range_icket_tab, p_endof_event IN varchar)
PROCEDURE ProcessResponse(p_call_request_id IN number, p_resp_rec IN t_resp_rec,
p_ticket_tab IN t_ticket_tab, p_endof_event IN varchar2)
The get Response procedure is a wrapper procedure exposed to Java to pass values. The Process Response procedure is a main procedure where all logics and business rules are handled.
The Problem is:
How can I pass the values from get Response procedure to Process Response procedure. So that rules and validations are applied. Please note the p_ticket_tab may have many ticket numbers corresponding to p_call_request_id.
Values E.g. :
p_call_request_id = 1
p_resp_rec (1234, 'Error found')
p_range_ticket_tab (1,2,3,4,5)
p_endof_event = 'Y'

In the database, NLS_DATE_FORMAT = DD-MON-RR.I have a date field called LOAD_DATE in one of the tables. I want to store the value as '25-OCT-11 01:16:25 PM' in LOAD_DATE field. Is there a way to do it without changing the NLS parameter (ALTER SESSION...) ?

I had created a form, in that i having two fields for username and password.
The problem is i want to make the fields as fill must.
if the user leaving the username field without entering anything trigger must raised. Otherwise if we are entering the data it should allow him to go for the next block without any raising of triggers.

using as template this table:
create table t1 (c1 number,c2 number);
CREATE OR REPLACE
TYPE REC IS RECORD (
R1 T1%ROWTYPE,
R2 NUMBER
);
I'm trying to create one RECORD type with all the columns from table T1 + one new field R2. But gives me an error.
The point to use T1%ROWTYPE and not to hardcode the columns from T1, is due to if we add a new column to T1, is created when is executed again RECORD definition and not to add the column.

1. If i'll do drop type FORCE what will happen to the dependent object(might be a table for example) ?
2. I understand that this type is already assigned to some object, but i can't seem to find out which one.
how do i find out which object is depending on the type i want to create or replace?

I have 3 user defined collection types. I am trying to access the type3's attribute in type1 body (like backward accessing).
Ex. My Collection Types Structure (something like master detail structure)
create type type1 as object
(
attr1 varchar2(10),
attr2 varchar2(10),
member procedure function1
[code]...
so, in the type1 body i have to get or assign the value either to type2's attribute or type3's attribute. I have search all the in internet but i haven't find anything such. how to find the reverse method of accessing the super type's attribute(s) in sub type's body.

getEMAReturnResponse Procedure:
Accessed by Java application to pass the values. Should call the Return_Response procedure and pass the values received from Java.
Return_Response Procedure
The p_ema_lnpticket_tab is a sort of array that can have multiple values. Please see the example of values. Has all the business rules and validation that should be adhered.
Example of Vaules

I have a table in schema with a BLOB field. I store employee's picture in this field. Fields in this table are emp_id (number) emp_name (varchar2) and emp_photo (BLOB). I want to ask if there is a way in pl / sql that i could empty this BLOB field to null or reset this field so that user can change the saved photo graph and save another one.
what i am looking for is something like
alter table employee set emp_photo = empty_blob() or alter table employee set emp_photo = null

Using Application Express 4.2.1.00.08
Any problem using 4.2's One Level Tabs - Content Frame page where you have a parent region (of type content frame Body Container ) while number of child regions (of type Hide & Show Region - Borderless ), if you want to re-order them by changing the sequence, it has no effect when you run the page.
The regions still show in the same order top to bottom as it did before the update of sequences. Heading links (to show/hide child regons in content frames) has the same ordering as before.

Our product uses Oracle11gR1 and in new release we are going to use Oracle11gR2. For this we are performing following steps:
(1) Install Oracle11gR2 on a machine where our product (Oracle11gR1) is already installed.
(2)Upgrade Oracle11gR1 schema to Oracle11gR2.
(3)For using upgraded schema in our product installer we create clone of upgraded schema.
(4)For creating clone we are using Oracle11gR2 DBCA utility.
(5) Clone files are successfully created (DBC, CTL, DBF).
Now we performed same steps from another machine and DBF file size changed very much. On one machine it was 89 MB and on second machine it was 150 MB. There is no different in schema and both machines are Windows 7 machines.
Tor educe size of schema we tried different space reclamation commands but size is not changing.
