• Change the length of a Table column (CHAR data type)

  Hi gurus,

  SQL > select * from version $ v

  BANNER

  ----------------------------------------------------------------

  Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64 bit Production

  PL/SQL version 10.2.0.3.0 - Production

  CORE Production 10.2.0.3.0

  AMT for Linux: release 10.2.0.3.0 - Production

  NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.3.0 - Production

  I need to increase the length of a CHAR of a table data type column (currently it's tank (3) and you want to change to char (4)). Here are more details on the table:-

  • Contains more than 20 million lines.
  • Table contains several indexes.
  • Table is referenced by several tables (about 60 tables) and it refers to several tables (about 3)
  • Table has 4 complex triggers. Triggers call procedures and packages.

  What I've tried so far

  
  

  1 disabled all triggers and ran ALTER statement to increase the length. It took hours and did not finish in a reasonable amount of time, even if no error, but it took more than 12 hours.

  2 tried DBMS_REDEFINITION package but it does not work with the standard version of Oracle 10 g.

  I think to try next

  I think same Optics:

  Say my name of the existing table is OLD_T1 where the length of column need to increase

  -Create a copy (with increased column length) table of OLD_T1, Say NEW_T1

  -Move data from in OLD_T1 to the new table NEW_T1

  -Lower OLD_T1 (or rename it to OLD_T1_TMP)

  -Rename NEW_T1 to OLD_T1

  -Create all indexes, triggers, constraints etc..

  I wish to confirm, if my approach is correct? Or someone has a better idea to do this?

  Please note: I know that the CHAR data type gives the problem but it is an old system and I don't have authority to change the design of database.

  Appreciate any comment/suggestion

  Thanks in advance

  > I mean, can any application break if it depends on fixed-length?

  Yes, because the code can be expected completed on the right areas.

• How to click on the MENU button

  Hello

  I use Simulator 9550 and BlackBerry JDE 5.0.

  in my application, I try to click on the menu with the following code key.

  Solved this problem by changing to '(char) Keypad.KEY_MENU'.

• The character set issues

  I am facing an error when inserting value into a char (1) field. It can have values such as 'A', 'R' or 'P '. When I pass values of front-end application, oracle raises an error: "" ora-12899: value too large for the column "»

  I read some threads and changed to Char (1 byte) to Char (1 Char), but still it throws the same error. When I change Char (1 byte) to Char (2 bytes), it works! but stores the ASCII value IE 65 per 'A' how can I fix this problem?

  Here are the details of the DB

  NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET	AL16UTF16
  NLS_RDBMS_VERSION	11.2.0.3.0
  NLS_CHARACTERSET	AR8MSWIN1256

  Thank you

  Kind regards

  Try 'string value' instead of 'char Value. I want to verify that the issue is not caused by a problem with the binding of char type c#.

  In addition, the opinion of Barend: 'the character set of the database must match the code page of the operating system. Your code page should therefore 1256. "is false. It may be, for example, AL32UTF8. It can actually be any character set that supports the character generating a request. In the case of a .net application which is Unicode by design, AL32UTF8 is the recommended database charset. AR8MSWIN1256 is very good as long as you enter characters from 1256 Arabic code page.

• Help please - baffled by something simple

  I don't know exactly how to demonstrate this problem, but I have a mySQL query in a ColdFusion document:
  
  < name cfquery = "get_division" datasource = "test", username = "test", password = "*" >
  SELECT division
  Allstate
  WHERE allstate_id = #allstate_id #.
  < / cfquery >
  
  Once the page is processed, the query is:
  < name cfquery = "get_division" datasource = "test", username = "test", password = "*" ">"
  SELECT division
  Allstate
  WHERE allstate_id = 35
  < / cfquery >
  
  The release tag is:
  < cfoutput >
  Division: #get_division.division # < br >
  < / cfoutput >
  
  The problem is that the result of the query if done in mySQL is 2, but the result that is displayed in the transformed ColdFusion document is 1 (Division: 1).
  
  A cfdump shows division 1, but if I copy the query that appears in the info of debugging at the bottom of the page and paste it in my query editor, the result is 2.
  
  I hope I'll be stupid and anyone has an explanation for this.

  I solved the problem by changing the char instead of tinyint data type. I'd swear he was working as a tinyint, and I don't see why it wouldn't, but I'm happy to have this job.

• fixed length variable length column column

  Hello
  
  New to oracle IAM. Here's the query where column1 appears as a column of fixed length of 16 characters.
  
  SELECT char(column1,16), column2 of table
  
  Please let me know if there is a command in oracle to get a single field with a fixed length.

  I think you want the rpad function

  Change
  SELECT char(column1,16), column2 of table

  TO
  SELECT rpad(column1,16), column2 of table

• Changing all the semantic VARCHAR2 length in BYTE to CHAR columns

  Hello

  our database is to use character set AL32UTF8, i.e. multibyte.

  All our VARCHAR2 columns have been specified as VARCHAR (xxx) semantic unspecified length explicit, which makes VARCHAR(xxx BYTE) because NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS is set on 'BYTE' (default Oracle).

  I wonder now if it would cause problems to enter and execute the ALTER TABLE statement to change all the columns of VARCHAR2(xxx BYTE) to VARCHAR2(xxx CHAR), leaving the same xxx. For example, if a VARCHAR2 column (100 BYTE) would be amended to be VARCHAR2(100 CHAR).

  If I am not entirely mistaken, - on the contrary - it would make the columns longer, not shorter; I expect to not get errors on the values of existing records being too long to change the specifications of the column in this way (as it may happen when the shortening of a VARCHAR column, for example, of varchar (10) to varchar (5)). So I think the ALTER TABLE statements should go without problem.

  I would also change NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS to TANK.

  Are there problems or consequences I might meet when I do this? I'm not worried about the implications for code enforcement external or such, but simply the integrity / performance / etc on the database level.

  It is a 11.2.0.x of Oracle database.

  Thank you

  MSA

  You can make this change to your drawings, but not for Oracle schemas or third party. It would usually not be supported.

  You will not get the errors associated with the data in the table. However, you can encounter errors due to:

  1 index of issues of key length - the maximum length of an index key in bytes (based on the column definitions, no real content column) is limited to about 70% of the size of the block of the tablespace containing the index. If you try to do a column belonging to a larger index key by applying the semantics of length in characters, you get an error if the change causes the index key limit.

  2. some columns cannot be changed. This includes, but may not be limited to, the columns that are referenced by expressions of virtual column and the functional index expressions, columns that have indexes defined on them, and columns field belonging to a partitioning key.

  3. you can not change the columns that store attributes of the type defined by the user in this way. You must change the definition of type instead.

  Also, do not change NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS initialization file. Include the keyword CHAR in your scripts or ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS = CHAR in these scripts. Value of the initialization file will affect all the scripts for Oracle products and third-party and can create tables with the semantics of unexpected length. Therefore, for compatibility reasons, this parameter in init.ora/spfile parameters is not recommended.

  Thank you

• Change char to varchar2 for all tables

  Hello
  I need to change the data type of char to varchar2 globally for all tables. For example, if four tables in a database contains one or more columns of type char (128), it should be replaced by varchar2 (128). I can do in a single statement?
  
  Thank you
  Sujnan

  Hello

  Try this...
  Coil d:\column_type.sql

  Select 'alter table' | table_name |' change '. column_name |' varchar2 (128);' from all_tab_columns where data_type = 'CHAR' and table_name =' or select from user_tables help subquery ' >;

  Spool off

  You will get sql statements to change the data type of Char to varchar2 (128)
  Run the file on hold and you have completed the task.

  Concerning

  You can also do this by using the procedure. Use the cursor to select name tablename and column of the user_tab_columns or All_tab_columns and then use immediate Execute to execute the statement Alter table.

• Not sequenced several changes to 'i' warning

  Hi all

  I'm receving a sequence of 12-bit binary integers of a microprocessor and I want to decode them.

  The compiler emits the following: ' WARNING: not sequenced several changes to 'i' ', but the values returned are correct (uh, they were in CVI2012: I am porting the code for 2015, but have not yet tested). "

  What does that mean? How can I get rid of this warning?

  Hello Roberto

  This means that the compiler guarantees the order "++" operation compared to other access to the variable i. When is the 2nd i ++ is executed, that you are not sure if I was incremented it already or it will be incremented twice at the end.

  To get rid of this warning that you need to split the operations i ++ in different directions.

  < 8)="">
  
  MM1 += buf [i ++];

• Change the color of the frame of the socket in parallel Mode

  Hello, good day everyone!

  I'm runnning my sequences in parallel Mode.

  When I run a sequence, its color of frame socket continue in blue.

  

  When I finish a sequence, its color of frame socket turns green momentarily.

  

  I would like to change that color by program from my TestStand sequence. I don't know if it is possible.

  Example: If the sequence is waiting for something, the color should change to Orange.
