Is there a seeded function by which I can check all the rows which stored dates in varchar column.
I have a table say test (test_data varchar2(100));
Now I will insert all types of records into the table varchar,number dates and then i will write q query to etch all those records only which has dates only
INSERT INTO test(1);
INSERT INTO test('ABC');
INSERT INTO test(SYSDATE);
INSERT INTO test(TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DD-MON-YYYY'));
INSERT INTO test(TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'));
INSERT INTO test('15/01/2012');

I am working with Oracle 8i and I have a problem while applying the below query:
select to_char(ENTRYDATE,'MM-DD-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from TBL_BANDWIDTH_READS
where ENTRYDATE > sysdate-1
and rownum <10
03-03-2011 00:00:00
03-03-2011 00:00:00
03-03-2011 00:00:00
03-03-2011 00:00:00
[code].....
The time appears as 00:00:00. I said it's something weird because if I take the where condition off, then something like this appears:
select to_char(ENTRYDATE,'MM-DD-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from TBL_BANDWIDTH_READS
12-22-2006 13:13:27
12-22-2006 13:13:27
12-22-2006 13:13:27
12-22-2006 13:13:27
12-22-2006 13:13:27
12-22-2006 13:13:27
12-22-2006 13:13:27
I am using the same query on a different table and there's no problem on it:
select to_char(ENTRYDATE,'MM-DD-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from TBL_XX_PROGRAM
where ENTRYDATE > sysdate -10 and rownum <10
03-03-2011 17:06:48
03-03-2011 17:06:48
03-03-2011 16:59:08
03-03-2011 16:59:08
03-03-2011 12:04:21
I checked the DDL of both tables and the only difference is that the TBL_XX_PROGRAM have the ENTRYDATE field defined as not null and the ENTRYDATE on the TBL_BANDWIDTH_READS does not have the same constraint, could it affect?

We have been recommended to store data in CLOD data type.
Sample data: 1:2:2000000:20000:4455:000099:444:099999:....etc it will grow to a large number.
We want to create a Unique index, for functional reason. Is it advised to create a unique index on a CLOB datatype?

how I can avoid PLW-07204 "conversion away from column type may result in sub-optimal query plan" (or rather the problem notified here by Oracle) from my PL/SQL code.My code looks as follows:
create table T(D date);
create or replace procedure P is
cursor C(D_IN IN DATE) is
select D
from T
where trunc(D)=SYSDATE;
begin
null;
end P;
[code]...
I don't want to disable the warning - it is there for a reason.
Additional description for the issue: It seems that D is of typ=12, while trunc(D) is of typ=13. You can use DUMP to read this info. This is described at URL....

I´m newbie as Apex developer using Apex 4.0 with OracleXE 11.2, and now my problem is:
I have a tabular form where one of the columns, when calling the form, is a Display Item, so that you cannot change existing values.
I want, when adding a new row, that column become a Select List (named LOV) based on a query that exclude existing values in other rows already inserted.
Can I change that Display Item to Select List (named LOV) programmatically at runtime? If not, what other options do I have?

I have a table with structure as:
CREATE TABLE XML_TABLE_1
(
ID NUMBER NOT NULL,
SOURCE VARCHAR2(255 CHAR) NOT NULL,
XML_TEXT SYS.XMLTYPE,
CREATION_DATE TIMESTAMP(6) NOT NULL
[code].....
- So HOW do I find the total size occupied by this table. Does BINARY storage work as LOB storage. i.e. I need to consider USER_LOBS as well for this. OR foll. will work
select segment_name as tablename, sum(bytes/ (1024 * 1024 * 1024 )) as tablesize_in_GB
From dba_segments
where segment_name = 'XML_TABLE_1'
and OWNER = 'SCHEMANAME'
group by segment_name ;
- Also if I am copying it to another table of same structure as:
Insert /*+ append */ into XML_TABLE_2 Select * from XML_TABLE_1.
Then how much space in ROllbackSegment do I need. Is it equal to the size of the table XML_TABLE_1?

I have one requirement. We have a Package which consists of 2 Stored Procedures which has a RecordType output Parameter.
FUNCTION GET_NFE_INFO(O_status_code IN OUT NUMBER,
O_error_message IN OUT VARCHAR2,
O_message IN OUT "OBJ_FM_NFE_DOCHDR_REC",
I_fiscal_doc_id IN FM_FISCAL_DOC_HEADER.FISCAL_DOC_ID%TYPE)
return BOOLEAN is
I am working on a one Stored Procedure which would display the output from the above function as,
set serveroutput on size 9000;
DECLARE
L_stg_status FM_FISCAL_DOC_HEADER.STATUS%TYPE := 'NFE_P';
L_fiscal_doc_id FM_FISCAL_DOC_HEADER.FISCAL_DOC_ID%TYPE := 12325;
L_dummy VARCHAR2(1) := NULL;
L_status_code NUMBER(1) := 0;
L_error_message VARCHAR2(255) := NULL;
L_message "OBJ_FM_NFE_DOCHDR_REC" := NULL;
[Code]..
Here for each and every data value i am Printing it using DBMS_OUTPUT, L_message record has more than 100 columns. Is there a easy way of handling it instead of using DBMS_OUTPUT ?

Here is an example.
