SQL & PL/SQL :: Truncate Precision In Number Datatype Oracle?
Jul 19, 2012
We have truncated number based on the decimal value. i tried to truncate number based on the precision using cast function. i got an error "value larger than specified precision allowed for this colum".
create table TEST_NUMBER
(id number(4,1));
insert into TEST_NUMBER
values(1234.789888888888);
[code]...
ORA-01438: value larger than specified precision allowed for this column
01438. 00000 - "value larger than specified precision allowed for this column"
*Cause: When inserting or updating records, a numeric value was entered that exceeded the precision defined for the column.
*Action: Enter a value that complies with the numeric column's precision, or use the MODIFY option with the ALTER TABLE command to expand the precision.
Procedure countyname(i_lat IN Number, i_lon IN NUMBER, o_countyname OUT VARCHAR2);
The procedure works fine when the input parameter values are small precision like 30.653, -618.765 etc.it fails if the Input parameter values have more precise like 35.694872140886...I think the IN Number can only take upto certain precission.
Is there any way I can specify the precision for a NUMBER input parameter in a procedure?
ex: Procedure countyname(i_lat IN Number(30,10), i_lon IN NUMBER(30,10), o_countyname OUT VARCHAR2);
when I tried the above statement it doesn't compile it gives PLS-00103 error.
POWER(47.3616, 27.1261) returns: 2.80403309600359E45 which causes "number precision too large" error in my variable which is defined as NUMBER(20,20).
I've tried ROUNDing and TRUNCing the product, but still get the same long output. The only thing that seems to work is SUBSTR.
Is that the ONLY way to deal with this? It seems like there would be a better way or is there another type I should use these super long decimal results?

I am working on an application that pulls data from an Oracle view into Microsoft Excel (Oracle 11g, MS Excel 2003). It is an automated pivot table created through vba. The problem I'm having is that the decimal points from number columns are being truncated - they don't make it to the pivot table.
When I use the pivot table wizard and set the external data source using a SQL string (select * from view), the precision is not lost. When I create the pivot table automatically in vba, the precision is lost. The pivot table settings, regardless of how the data is brought in, shows the format of the number column as general. This tells me that Excel is trying to figure out what the data type is, and can't (not smart enough).
When looking at the description of the view, the data type is NUMBER (no precision). The table that it is pulling from has the precision set (NUMBER(11,3)). I have tried using the following, but it doesn't work:
select to_number(field_name, '99999999.999') field_name from view
In my table there is column with number datatype of size col1 number(15,3) and my data in column is like
001 002 003
and i am changing its size to number(10,3) by alter table command but it not allowing. why?????? as my data in that column still satisfy the the changes.
and even when i modify the char column to varchar2 column by alter table command and changing the size of that column,it is not allowing me to change it why?
I want to decrease the size of testid column of number datatype in my "test" named table from size 20 to 15 and the data of maximum size is of 10 digits. but oracle throws an error "ORA-01440: column to be modified must be empty to decrease precision or scale". i cant understand why it is happening?
what is the reason behind it even though new size is maximum than the maximum size of existing data. but when i decrease the size of "varchar2" then oracle does not through any error.
I have a Number(18,0) datatype.It could have millions/billions stored in that field.How can I show that amount in the form of $7,123,787 ($ sign and commas)?
By using To_char function like below, I am not getting the desired format.
Select to_char(123000000.25, '$9,9999999999.00') FROM dual;
I am facing issue related to Number data while it is being converted to Varchar2, it is automatically getting rounded off after 32 decimal place.My database version is "Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production".
"First" string got rounded off to 97 (last 2 digits) instead of 9679 but for "Second" record it holds the actual value.Only thing which I could figure out while the number is getting type casted to String, it is getting rounded off to 32 decimal place.throw off some light on it and provide the solution how the original record can be kept intact without rounding off.

[Code]....
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
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 ?
what is the matching datatype of unique identifier in SQL to Oracle ques regd SSIS when I map a unique identifier in SQL to Oracle via SSIS, I get curly braces at both ends in the end result.
1B66FE97-A9CA-4E0D-9593-00046E2AF7E1 - i/p(SQL Server) {1B66FE97-A9CA-4E0D-9593-00046E2AF7E1} - end result(Oracle)
In SSIS, I convert the unique identifier to string data type.
When we are trying to create number data type column of a table with precision greater than actual value,it's accepting the definition of the table . But we are unable to insert any values into the table.how internally it stores the value
SQL> drop table precision_test; Table dropped SQL> create table precision_test(name number(2,5)); Table created SQL> insert into precision_test values (1); insert into precision_test values (1) [code]....
2114 rows I got the same result if I use NVL(o.scn,0) rather than TO_NUMBER(o.scn). I can't find out why this happens. Obviously, the ">" condition doesn't match when the difference is too small.
AFAIK, ora_rowscn is a NUMBER while my "scn" column is a NUMBER(12) (which should be sufficient to store my DB or remote DB's SCN).
I am trying to run copy command to copy data from one database to other.I 'm getting this error while running copy command. "ORA-01727: numeric precision specifier is out of range (1 to 38)"
I have a table T1.In that table i have a column id, i gave a number datatype for id as number(2,2). when i try to insert the value im getting an error.

i have one question that why oracle not set high water mark when we delete data from a table and commit it, on the other hand it set in case of truncate.both of these statement release physical structure(in case of delete after commiting)
I have an Oracle Package with a procedure in which
package with a procedure in which there is a truncate partition, ALTER TABLE table_name TRUNCATE partition_name DROP STORAGE and the all is run with an EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'alter table ...' .
The point is that the procedure in the package is started from another DB via DB Link (schema USER1) and doesn't work because of lack of privileges.
Instead, if the same procedure is started as a procedure, standalone, not in the package but from the same user (USER1) it works perfectly.
Don't understand why and which privileges must give to the user to run the procedure from inside the package.
I am using oracle11g. I want to truncate subpartition on specific partion.
I have partition on statewise. Each state partion has 7 day sub partition.
For intance,
Partion TX Sub partition MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI, SAT, SUN
Partion CA Sub partition MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI, SAT, SUN
Partion IA Sub partition MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI, SAT, SUN
Now i want to perform following tasks.
1. Need to truncate TUE sub partiion on TX partition. 2. Need to truncate WED sub partiion on CA partition. 3. Need to truncate SUN sub partiion on IA partition.
How do we do this?
The below statment truncate all TUE partition on all the partitions.
ALTER TABLE TRX_TABLE TRUNCATE SUBPARTITION TUE;
How do i tuncate specfic sub partition on specific partition?
The Scenario is that we have Master and detail table (With Foreign key enabled), we want to TRUNCATE Master table.
1) Is there any option which can Truncate the table without disabling the constraints for child tables...we want to Truncate the table forcefully.. 2) What will be best method to truncate a Table having Master detail relation (Foreign key enabled) and we need to truncate the table without disabling the constraint ( if there are records in child table) 3) What will be best method to truncate a Table having Master detail relation (Foreign key enabled) and we need to truncate the table without disabling the constraint ( if there are NO records in child table
I have two tablespace a and a_idx , a is comtaining all tables data and it fixed size is 19000MB and b containing all the index associated with these tables and its size also 19000MB.
but this is am testing database, and we need some space on my unix machine for this i truncate all tables from a tablespace a and resize the tablespace a with size 1000M with no error.
but as per my understanding after truncating all tables from tablespace a its also release space from tablespace b but its not hapening.
so my questin is how can i reize tablespace B using alter database datafile 'full path of dbf file' resize 1000M.
