SQL & PL/SQL :: Value Too Large For Variable
Jan 21, 2011I HAVE DECLARED A VARIABLE
VAR1 VARCHAR2(20000);
BUT STILL WHEN I ASSIGN SOME STRINGS TO THAT VARIABLE I GET "VALUE TOO LARGE" MESSAGE. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

I am facing a problem with utl_http.write_text in my pl/sql application. My requirement is to write data of size>32k. So I used a clob variable in write_text. But still it is showing numeric or value error when the data size is above 8k.
I have read that chunked transfer encoding will work. But I couldn't find out how this is done.
1. When querying the "alert_log" table I created from the alert log using the script below, 2 new files were created ALERT_LOG_30499.bad and ALERT_LOG_30499.log.
The ALERT_LOG_30499.log. contains this error message:
error processing column MSG in row 2910 for datafile /u02/damistst/admin/bdump/alert_damistst.log
ORA-12899: value too large for column MSG (actual: 82, maximum: 80)
the ALERT_LOG_30499.bad , so far, only contains datafile resize information. The datafiles have plenty of space and there is plenty of space on the San slice the datafiles reside.
2. then each time I recreate the table and increased the increased the varchar2 size, the "actual" size will also increase in the log file.
error processing column MSG in row 2910 for datafile /u02/damistst/admin/bdump/alert_damistst.log ORA-12899: value too large for column MSG (actual: 92, maximum: 90)
3. When I increased the varchar2 size to 120+ it gave me this error message:
[oracle@tds_dw bdump]$ cat ALERT_LOG_30715.log
LOG file opened at 03/09/11 14:46:20
Field Definitions for table ALERT_LOG
Record format DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
Data in file has same endianness as the platform
Rows with all null fields are accepted
Fields in Data Source:
MSG CHAR (255)
Terminated by ","

**** QUESTION
I can still query the alert_log table in sqlplus, but those log and bad files are generated, is this an issue?

I keep getting the "ORA-01401:inserted value too large for column". No biggie - I've dealt with this multiple times before (but obviously not enough in this instance).
The data being entered is a SINGLE digit number - a number like 1, 2 or 3 - nothing fancy, just a plain straight everyday single digit number. The field in question is / was set as field type "Integer". Now, there is no set field size for integers! - not in Oracle anyway. Since it wasn't happy, I decided I'll try field types of 'Number' and also "Varchar2" set to 10 bytes. I have deleted the column from the table and re-created it as well.
Here's the even more puzzling bit: I can INSERT data into this field, BUT I can not UPDATE the field with the exact same data. The data is being inserted from a csv file. The same exact csv file used to insert works, but the same data in the same file will not update only that particular column.
If I delete the specific column data from the csv file, all goes through fine. If I hard code the update for the field (eg SET field2 = '1' or even SET field2 = ' ') it still doesn't work. So I know it is not the csv file that is causing problems. I deleted all data from the csv file except the field in question - still no luck.
So after eliminating:
1. The field type
2. The field length
3. The data being inserted
4. The external source of the data
What else could possibly be the problem?
I am using trim function in my select query. But still I am getting white space in my output. because of this, I am getting the error "value too large for column... " when I load the data into a table through sqlloader.

I have a 27 million row table in the following format:

I need to unpivot this data to get it to look like this:
MEDCLM_MTH_SUM_KEY DIAG_CD_LEVEL DIAG_CD
2212990780 PRIMARY_DIAG_CD 5552
2212990780 DIAG_CD2 78907

I was wondering if there was a quicker, more efficient way to do this.
I need to add a new column to a very large table, and update it with 'N'. (this is similar as specifying default 'N'). I'm using Oracle 9i. Which is the best method regarding to speed, to update this column on entire table? The table contains ~30 millions of records. I've read that parallel DML (here UPDATE) does not work on unpartitioned tables. My table is not partitioned. If i specify:
update /*+ full(p) parallel(p,10) */ my_table p set p.my_column = 'N';
This, i think will not speed up the operation on 9i. Our business does not accept to use CREATE TABLE AS SELECT, then renaming table and recreating all indexes and so on.
I'm trying to identify what PL/SQL or the exact code that's is causing massive UGA consumption. How can I identify it?
View 5 Replies View RelatedCan an undo tablespace be too large and actually hurt performance? I have seen a system with a dedicated 1 TB drive for undo tablespace (no guarantee) with an undo_retention of 7 days. Would this hurt performance? What about setting an undo_retention of 24 hours with no guarantee? The only mention I could find online said that it would not hurt performance but I wanted to double check. You would think that Oracle does not care if it deletes the undo at 15 minutes or if it deletes the undo at a later date such as 7 days later and the performance should stay the same.

I need to dump the contents of a very large table into text files for archiving as we retire this old DB. The table has about 16 million rows, and a few of the columns are up to 4000 characters wide (varchar2(40000)). I've got 2 problems:
1) How can I select records that occur in a certain month of a year (there is a date column) and put the selected records into a file?
2) I don't have access to the server OS, so UTL_FILE is not possible. The output is also so large that I'm having trouble with the DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE.
I'm trying to get the first block of the IF working first, so the rest is just placeholders.

Since XML-files only contain character data, we could/should store it in a CLOB, rather than a BLOB.
But, One of my friend having a table where a column is defined as bloband came to know that XML data are being stored. I searched for some article with keyword 'How to insert large XML data in BLOB' But did not work.How to store the large xml content in a Blob and How to extract it?
Can i send a large file( over 1 million) as email attachment as .CSV file...?
I have a requirement to send a large file ".CSV" when the procedure / package is invoked as email attachment. The data in the CSV file is pulled from a table (as below).
(1) I tried below code to execute "send_email" which is uses utility UTL_SMTP. It is working fine with
100000 records and getting an email attachment with .csv
(2) If more 100000 i am not getting any email / attachment.

I'm looking for a way to insert strings larger than 40.000 characters in a CLOB-field without geting the "ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column".
Something like this:
insert into MyClobTable(ID,Data) values ('101','A string containing more than 40000 characters...')
The problem is that a Java-application concatinates the string from a MSSQL-DB so I don't store the string in my oracle-DB. As far as I'm aware this means I can't chop my string in pieces and use declare to put the pieces in variables, right?
Below is an example I found but I don't think I can apply it on my case, correct?
SQL> CREATE TABLE myClob
2 (id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY,
3 clob_data CLOB);
Table created.
SQL>
SQL> INSERT INTO myClob VALUES (101,null);
1 row created.
SQL>
SQL> declare
2 clob_pointer CLOB;
3 v_buf VARCHAR2(1000);

Using join i am retrieving records from these tables but it is taking much more time to get output.
Partition can improve performance?
I have encountered some problems in SQL I want to create a table with a bunch of prepared data. For ease of use, I choose to generate a SQL file which contains all the sql clauses used to create the table and insert the data. So all the data can only be inserted to a table using sql clause.
My questions:
1) If data of a column is large (for example, 1 M text), how to insert it using SQL, is there a piecewise method.
2) And how can I insert BLOB data using SQL clause.
What I what is to enclose all the operations in a single SQL file, and when the table is needed, just execute this SQL file.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a query that returns 11 Million rows but not all of them can be displayed in SQLDeveloper or DBVisualizer because of limited memory or other type of issues. I need to copy the entire result set to excel for further calculations.
Is there any way that i can select N number of rows out of my actual result set.
For example:
a) A result set contains 10 Million rows in total.
b) I want to display first 5 Million rows by executing a query
c) Then I want to display the remaining 5 Million rows by executing the query again with any parameter changes.
So all I want is to extract the rows of my actual result set in two or more executions, depending on the number of rows.

I have two large tables(rptbody and rpthead) which has over millions or even more records. Below is the table schema
describe rpthead
Name Null Type
--------------------------- -------- -------------
RPTNO NOT NULL NUMBER
RPTDATE NOT NULL DATE
RPTD_BY NOT NULL VARCHAR2(25)
PRODUCT_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
[code]...
What I want is getting all data if the referenced RPTNO belongs to a particular product_id from rptbody table, here's the sql
SELECT t0.LINENO, t0.COMMENTS, t0.RPTNO, t0.UPD_DATE
FROM RPTBODY t0
WHERE
(
t0.RPTNO IN
(
SELECT t1.RPTNO FROM RPTHEAD t1 where t1.PRODUCT_ID IN ('4647')
)
)
ORDER BY t0.LINENO
Since the result set is pretty large, so my application(think it as c couple of jobs, each job should be finished in a time window) can only process a subset of all data, so I need pagination so that the next job can continue the processing until all data is processed, below is the SQL with pagination
select * from (
select a.*, ROWNUM rnum from
(
SELECT t0.LINENO, t0.COMMENTS, t0.RPTNO, t0.UPD_DATE
FROM RPTBODY t0
WHERE
(
[code]....
As you can see each query will take 100 rows from the db. The problem for now is that the query taking too much of time(10+ mins), I know the slowness is due to "ORDER BY t0.LINENO", but it's required for pagination.

does it mean that the whole index will be created at temp tablspace first?
