I have to change the datatype of a column from CLOB to varchar2, without changing the order of the columns. The table has no data.
I could find any other way other than dropping the CLOB columns and then adding new columns with varchar2 datatype. But this changes the order of the columns in the table.
I need to create a composite unique index on varchar2, number and CLOB column. I haven't used such index before that have the CLOB column indexing. I found the below link related to CLOB indexing...

Links from where I can get related info. Also I would like to know the impact of such index on performance. I have to store and process around 50 million records in such a way, will it be beneficial to use this index?
I need to create a materialized view with a clob column based on a varchar2 column of a table.This is because in the mv the clob column data gets appended one after another.

I need to modify the column type that already has data in it, i need it change varchar to number then The datas entered have $ and , (e.g $3,200). I need the $ and , removed with column type set to numbers.
When i currently do this i get the following error:
The TABLE operation was not successful for the following reason:
ORA-01439: column to be modified must be empty to change datatype
I've tried unloading the data and loading the data using the spreadsheet, cut and past and csv file but both give me more errors, so i just want that one column modified.

View 16 Replies View RelatedI'm facing a problem where I create a form and I want to feed time in "HH:MI" format, Firstly I choose the "Date" datatype, but during the feeding of time i.e "00:30", means if I want to feed only mints, then it doesn't accept, at the other hand if I feed "01:30" means mints with hr then it accepts.
To get rid of this problem I changed datatype "Date" to "Varchar2".
I create 3 columns on my form "TTL_WORKING_TIME" - "TTL_RUN_TIME" = "BRK_DWN_TIME". If I get any value in "BRK_DWN_TIME" column thn it has to be distribute in 3 or 4 reason of B/D, means if I get 00:30 mints brkdwn thn 00:15 mints for "reason1" and 00:15 mints for "reason2".

I have a table called Student and a column as name now if i write a Query

How does the comparison will be done.
here is the situation, I have to write a function that receive as parameter a datatype varchar2 and validate if the letter is less than "A" or greater than "Z", it must print do not correct, or correct depending on the situation, no problem so far, the only problem I've got is: If the symbol is ";" is valid, but i do not know how to write it, It does not depend on the PL/SQl languaje but depends on the logic itself.

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".
1) create table test18 ( col1 varchar2(10), val Number);
create table succeeded.
2) insert into test18 values ('First', -347026.6408499652467480885711448714129679); -- After decimal 34 digits
1 rows inserted
insert into test18 values ('Second', -347026.64084996524674808857114487141296); -- After decimal 32 digits
1 rows inserted
3) select * from test18;
COL1 VAL
---------- ----------------------
First -347026.6408499652467480885711448714129679
Second -347026.64084996524674808857114487141296
4) As per the requirement, all the columns would need to be concatenated as a single string along with comma delimiter
select col1 || ',' || val as record_string
from test18;
RECORD_STRING
---------------------------------------------------
First,-347026.64084996524674808857114487141297
Second,-347026.64084996524674808857114487141296
"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.
Expected Output_
RECORD_STRING
---------------------------------------------------
First,-347026.6408499652467480885711448714129679

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
in our application we are using clob column instead of varchar2 because varchar2 does not allow more that 4000 chars, so Using clob allows to put data of any length, will it cause performance issues ? we have this column in almost in all tables .

The Table contains 5000 records. how to convert CLOB to VARCHAR2.
I used DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR but I received BUFFER TO SMALL ERROR.
I ave a few fields in my flat file which might be a CLOB (not sure how the source is storing the data - need to check on that.) I am trying to load this data into my table column which is a varchar2(4000) . I am able to insert most of the data but few records are rejected because of Field too long error....
While debugging the problm I manually copied the field from flatfile and inserted into my table - bingo it worked. (The field was not more than 1000 bytes - only a few lines of information ) My question: When a field is not more than 1000 bytes why couldnt it get inserted as a varchar2?
Note : I cannot make the table column as CLOB because the problem is not with just one column - I have 10 fields which have this problem . So its not advisable to have 10 CLOB fields in the table......
I have specified OPTIONS (BINDSIZE=256000,READSIZE=256000,ROWS=1)
i am fairly new in the oracle arena, but what would cause a statement such as
ALTER TABLE TEST_TABLE MODIFY text_field1 varchar2(100) DEFAULT 'testval' NULL
to change a column's type from VARCHAR2(100) to VARCHAR2(100 byte)? i found a few mentions of the 100 byte concept online but nothing that jumped out at me.
how can i update CLOB values in Oracle? I am passing string values to Clob datatype from .Net Eg '13223311','12122112','122125552'

I am currently in the process of migrating our database from US7ASCII to AL32UTF8 using DMU.
I am stuck at a point where I have encrypted data that, when the conversion happens, will be destroyed. Oracle suggests to move the data which is currently stored in VARCHAR2 datatype, to a "character set safe way" like hex notation or base64 before converting.
i have a varchar2 column containing string values that can be converted to date i.e. ('31-JUL-11') and that column also contains text strings in it. i.e. ('Some string data...')
records whose column value can be converted to date are extractable via where clause (i.e. those rows are associated with some fix number / flag)
now when i try to use to_date function i get the error that
" ORA-01858 a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected "
in sql i have added a where clause to only pick rows with flag, but even then it gives the error.
using a subquery in the from clause eliminates the error, but when i create it in a view it again gives the same error.
