• Timestamp data type is wrong

  The code attached is supposed to focus on a cluster and read the name and the data type of each control of the cluster.  When I put a timestamp control in the cluster it returns its data in the form of wave type, I thought timestamp has its own data type.  I need to get the type of correct data I use this to a database.  I need to be able to tell the difference between a timestamp data type and a waveform, because I do not want to insert a data with waveform data type in the database in the form of stamp and I do not want to insert a time stamp in a place where the waveform data must be.  Any ideas?

  

  One of the subVIs is password protected, and it is the one that generates the error.

  Using the properties class ID and the name class seems to work OK, producing ID = 60 and the class name = AbsTime for the timestamp and ID = 47 and name = WaveformData for waveform control.

  Whenever you have a question, please post a small example data (CREATE TABLE and only relevant columns, INSERT statements) and the exact results you want from this data, so that people who want to help you can recreate the problem and test their ideas.

  Explain, using specific examples, how you get these results from these data.

  Always say what version of Oracle you are using (for example, 11.2.0.2.0).

  See the FAQ forum: Re: 2. How can I ask a question on the forums?

  Maybe you want something like:

  loged_date between TO_TIMESTAMP (' March 9, 2015 09:00 ")

  , ' DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS.

  )

  and TO_TIMESTAMP (March 9, 2015 20:00 ')

  By the way I couln t understand what were you thinking when you explain to no.

  I missed you NVARCHAR2 column and thought it was VARCHAR2. When you declare the semantics of VARCHAR2 column length is specified explicitly or implicitly. Explicitly suffixing length with BYTE or CHAR and implicitly when you specify the length of the right itself. Then length is based on the value NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS session. So let's assume you generate table create statement (and it seems that you is, based on column_name |) » '|| DATA_TYPE | » ('|| ( data_length|') ' ). Then it does not matter if use use data_length or char_col_decl_length. It will be regadless semantics implied length of what you use. Therefore, when you run create table instructions column length will be interpreted as bytes if current NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS byte value. But same length is interpreted as the characters if current NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS a char value. As you can see, in order to generate create table statement we use explicit semantic length column, otherwise create table statement can produce lengths of different column in the source table.

• The length of the BLOB data type.

  Hello world. I have a question about the Oracle Blob data type.

  I need to store Image data in my table, there are 4 fields that store 4 different images for a record in a table.

  The size of the image would be no more max 500Ko,

  It is advisable to specify the data type of column as just the BLOB (which is default to 2 GB size)

  Or specify the datalength?

  Length is specified in number of bytes, it is the same as a byte? so I go for BLOB(500K)?

  Kind regards

  Glen.

  You cannot specify a maximum size on a column of type BLOB.  There is no such thing as a BLOB (500000).  It's just a BLOB.

  Unless you are on a rather old version of Oracle, the maximum size of a BLOB is much more than 2 GB - depending on the size of block in a recent version of Oracle, the maximum size is in the range of TB.  Oracle, of course, will not affect TB of disk (or same GB drive) to a value which is only 500 KB.  It will affect only what suits him (according to the size of the segment specified in the definition of the BLOB, and other settings of BLOB storage).

• 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

• CfSQLtype and date type oracle

  I have a problem with a SQL Oracle when part of the where clause is:
  and INSPECTION_DATE = < cfqueryparam value = "" #Form.INSPECTION_DATE # "cfsqltype = 'cf_sql_DATE' >"
  It does not, so the SQL is not updated as I expect. I also tried the cf_sql_TIMESTAMP type, but it does not correspond to either. An Oracle date is actually a date and timestamp, but it does not resemble the ColdFusion TimeStamp. No one knows what look like the acutally cf_sql_DATE and cf_sql_TIMESTAMP, so I can use an Oracle to_char() function make them match?
  Thanks for your help.
  Scott
  

  If your Oracle files have something else that zeros in the time portion of the datefield that you won't get a match because the cold fusion will be zeros. There are at least two ways to handle this:

  With the functions, that is to say
  where to_char (date field oracle) = dateformat (date of cold fusion)

  or with an exanded where clause, that is to say
  where oracle_date_field > = cold_fusion_date_you_want
  and oracle_date_field<>

• Timestamp for date columns data type are not imported in discoverer admin

  Hi all
  Someone you will suggest why timestamp data type columns are not imported into admin. discoverer other types of data import you correctly, but the timestamp data type columns are missed.
  
  Please let me know to change the type of data is not possible at this time.
  Thank you

  Hello
  You will be disappointed because the timestamp columns are not one of the recognized data types supported by the discoverer. He acknowledges only dates, strings and (integer and decimal) numbers.

  Maybe you could put up a view that matches the table you use, convert the timestamp in a rather ordinary date?

  Then, inside your end-user license, all you would have to do is redirect the folder to view.

• DATE in TIMESTAMP data type conversion

  Hello
  
  My question is this:
  
  1. I have a variable of type DATE, which I attribute the value of SYSDATE

   mydatevar DATE:= SYSDATE;

  2. I want to find * «today» *, truncated to DATE

    TRUNC (mydatevar, 'DD')

  TRUNC function returns the DATE data type. So I get to the point for example 2 *'2010-01-13 00:00:00 ' *.
  
  3. I want to assign the value of the point 2, to a variable of type TIMESTAMP

    mytimestampvar TIMESTAMP := mydatevar;

  implicitly that will convert the variable DATE to TIMESTAMP.
  
  Problem: when converting (implicit and explicit conversion with a format mask), I lose hours "00" and "00" minutes and receive something like this: "10 January 13 * 12 *. 00.00.000000000 AM.
  
  Question: How can I convert a DATE to TIMESTAMP keeping the hours and minutes zeros?
  
  Why I need this conversion: I have a table with one "column1" TIMESTAMP column (0) and I take only the rows of the table, where 'column1' is in the range of today 12:00 in the morning until now (what time it is).

  I don't think you lose necessarily any information whatsoever. It is probably more a function of your NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT and NLS_DATE_FORMAT. For example, your NLS_DATE_FORMAT could be default setup for a HH24 (24 hours) which would report to midnight as hours of "00". However, it seems that your NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT is configured with "HH" format with a Meridian indicator that means 12 hours time.

  Your comparisons should use date/timestamp data types anyway, so as long as the input value is correctly converted to date type that shouldn't matter in any case.

  You can see what is actually stored by using the DUMP function:

  SQL> SELECT  DUMP(TO_TIMESTAMP(TO_CHAR(TRUNC(SYSDATE,'DD'),'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM'))) AS TSTAMP
    2  ,       DUMP(TRUNC(SYSDATE,'DD')) AS DT
    3  FROM DUAL
    4  /
  
  TSTAMP                                                                      DT
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
  Typ=187 Len=20: 218,7,1,13,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,3,0,0,0,0,0                  Typ=13 Len=8: 218,7,1,13,0,0,0,0
  

  As you can see the TSTAMP and DT store almost the same values (218,7,1,13), but the TSTAMP has more precision because of fractions of a second.

  HTH!
