SQL & PL/SQL :: Datapump Field Length

May 21, 2012

I 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?

ORA-24373 / Invalid Length Specified For Statement

Aug 20, 2008

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!

SQL & PL/SQL :: Materialized View - Zero Length Not Allowed?

Dec 8, 2010

I am trying to create one Materialized view from a Select Statement and I am getting the following error

SQL Error: ORA-01723: zero-length columns are not allowed

I have checked the table and found nothing like varchar2(0) or char(0) , but the column in my select statment may get a Null value. Will it result in error like above ?

Normal View : I have created this because I think a materialized view would not be created if we have a Sub query.

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW mx_test
AS
SELECT t."EXTN_SERVICE_REQUEST_NO",
t."EXTN_SERVICE_TYPE",

[Code]....

Materialized View :

CREATE materialized VIEW mx_ashok
AS
SELECT * FROM mx_test

Error :

Error starting at line 1 in command:
CREATE materialized VIEW mx_ashok
AS
SELECT * FROM mx_test
Error at Command Line:3 Column:16
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-01723: zero-length columns are not allowed
01723. 00000 - "zero-length columns are not allowed"
*Cause:
*Action:

Do I need to use NVLs for all columns which may result in NULL value ?

PL/SQL :: Finding Length Of CLOB Column

Jul 11, 2012

I 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.
