I want to find the max length for a column in oracle, without querying each of the columns. Are these stats stored somewhere?
I have several fields defined as varchar2(4000). Not all of them use up 4000. Instead of querying each one ..max(column name) i want to explore if there is a way, i can find the max size stored somewhere? dba_tab_cols provides size of the field. is there any table that provides max used so far?
if one of the columns is given as
ABC varchar2(10)
can we tell anything about the size of the data in bytes that this column going to hold.
create table test_schema(
col1 varchar2(50)
)
insert all
into test_schema values ('this_is_a_test')
into test_schema values ('this_is_a_test_test')
into test_schema values ('this_is_a_test_test_xxxx')
into test_schema values ('this_is_a_test_test_aaaaaaaa')
select * from dual;
I want to get the length of the col1 value with maximum length of characters also with that field value.
i.e o/p is
this_is_a_test_test_aaaaaaaa length 28
how can I do it??

View 3 Replies View RelatedI had a varchar2 variable which was storing some data and I could use the LENGTH function to get the length of the data. However, If I change it to CLOB. What is the best way to get the length?
v_clob_size:= (DBMS_LOB.getlength(v_clob)) / 1024 / 1024;
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('CLOB Size ' || v_clob_size);
another one is
LENGTHB(TO_CHAR(SUBSTR(<clob-column>,1,4000))) But this seems restricted to first 4000 characters only.
i want to add a column data of datatype number of all the tables at a time in a database..
i am trying with the all_tab_columns but i can get only the column info whether it is number or varchar2 or any other data type but i am unable to retrieve the column name and the sum of length of the data present in all the rows in that column...
We have some tables in our database in which for loading data we have the setup in place to do Exchange partition after data load into staging. Today we did changes to column length to one pair of main and staging table. Post that Exchange partition stop working.

I have one issue while loading the value through sql*loader the last column data is SG1 and when its loaded , it is length of this columns is showing 4 char. Unable to understand, how to find this extra space. Though used TRIM but does not work.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm loading data from text file separated by TAB and i got the error below for some lines. Event the column is CLOB data type is there a limitation of the size of a CLOB data type. The error is:

How the length of column width effects index performance?
For example if i had IOT table emp_iot with columns:
(id number,
job varchar2(20),
time date,
plan number)
Table key consist of(id, job, time)
Column JOB has fixed list of distinct values ('ANALYST', 'NIGHT_WORKED', etc...).
What performance increase i could expect if in column "job" i would store not names but concrete numbers identifying job names.
For e.g. i would store "1" instead 'ANALYST' and "2" instead 'NIGHT_WORKED'.
I have a field "Email". The length of it is restricted to 30. But i mayget more than 30 characters. So how to trim the email address so that its max length is 30 characters.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a problem to read in data from dmp file to target table.
I've created a dmp file using:
CREATE TABLE table_name
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(TYPE oracle_datapump
DEFAULT DIRECTORY directory_name
LOCATION ('file_name.dmp')
) AS SELECT col1, col2, col3 from source_table;
[Code]...
The file created via db_link from target db to remote db and then the data are insterted into target db table target_table.
desc target_table
col1 varchar2(20)
col2 number
col3 number
There are no values longer than 20 characters in source table, but when I insert into target_table(col1, col2, col3) as select col1, col2 col3 from source_table; I get ORA-12899: value too large for column "target_table"."col1" (actual: 25, maximum: 20).
I gues it has something to do with how the oracle datapump stored the data in dmp file. When I select col1 from source_table where length(col1) > 20; I get two values which clearly are not longer than 20 characters.
Selected values are:
748473358
693197674
where the bug is hidden or any "normal" workaround?

We are getting an error in our web application that is using Oracle.DataAccess.dll v2.111.6.20. When a couple users are using the site everything is fine, but when the load goes up we start getting the error ORA-24373: invalid length specified for statement. We are unable to duplicate this error in Visual Studio and don't know where to turn. We use stored procedure and the .dll to access the database for everything. Also, when this error occurs, it occurs indefenitely for all OracleCommand objects until the web server is rebooted. Also, when I attempt to remote debug with SQL Developer, the process doesn't even make it to the database!

SELECT COUNT ( * ) FROM mtl_system_items_b;

Actually the value of the segment1 should be 9. But it has some junk characters and some extra characters.So I am using the following query to get all the error segment values.
confirm is this query rite?
SELECT segment1
FROM mtl_system_items_b
WHERE LENGTH (segment1) != 9;
