View 5 Repliesread the data and write into the textfile. I have a target text file with one column in varchar2(8000) length size. Whenever i write into this textfile, after the first row entered, for example, the first row string is 'H2001', then it will automatically spacing 7995 spaces. What I want is, when i enter the second row, it will auto write into the file in next row without all the spaces in row 1. I had been tried using trim, rpad, substr. and still don't get the thing that i want.

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?
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 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!

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.
