• SQL Loader fails to process the string columns longer than 255 characters

  Hi all
  
  I use the LKM sqlldr (oracle) file to load data from flat file to oracle. I am aware that if you do not specify the length of the input of character data, sqlldr defaults to 255 characters. But, in my store of data source, I've specified the length of the column to be 1000, but sqlldr does not always treat records with more than 255 characters.
  
  No idea how to change this behavior in sqlldr?
  
  Receive your answer.
  
  Hey

  You can change the step "to generate a CTL file."

  and replace the section:

            } else {
  
            // The source column is a STRING => no options to add
                 format = "";
            };
  

  with

            } else {
  
            // The source column is a STRING => add char(length) for length greater than 255
                 taille = new Integer(colPrecision).intValue();
                 if (taille > 254)
                 format = "CHAR("+colPrecision+")";
                 else
                 format ="";
            };

  Is there another way of letting?
  
  Please help me.
  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  You can use the same CLOB, but you cannot insert directly, you may need to use the pl/sql.

  Try the method mentioned in this link.

• Select the list with the list of dynamic values with more than 4000 tank of query

  Hello
  
  I have no application where users can store SQL queries in a CLOB column. This query is then used to populate the list, select a dynamic element through LOV. Following the code returns the query for dynamic LOV used to populate the select list. It works fine except when the length of the lv_sqlStatement becomes more than 4000 characters. Then application crashes with "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: digital or value error: character string buffer too small" when Select the list item rendering.
  
  Any ideas how to get around this problem? Any help is appreciated. Do not say to them to write shorter than 4000 queries because I can't (it's operational requirements).
  
  DECLARE
  lv_sqlStatement end_user_set.sql_statement%type;
  BEGIN
  lv_sqlStatement: =: P2_SQL_STATEMENT;
  return ' select the label, value of (' | lv_sql_statement | t ')
  To_char (t.value) if not in (select value from end_user_set_member eusm)
  where eusm. EUSRSET_ID = ' | : P2_EUSRSET_ID | ')';
  END;

  I just blogged about this problem and posted a solution. See this announcement:

• more than 4000 characters of parameter

  Layer of java calls a stored proc EXEC_DDL that makes an EXECUTE IMMEDIATE on the VARCHAR2 parameter string passed. Since the java layer goes to more than 4000 characters DDL statement, we get an error cannot bind for a long time... What kind of data can I use as a parameter instead of VARCHAR2 inside the stored EXEC_DDL Steven Feuerstein proc advises against the use for a long TIME in his book of PL/SQL. All types of BUSINESS are inside or outside the database objects, but I want just the java code to pass a DDL string greater than 4000 characters. I want to use the simplest approach.
  
  Thank you in anticipation

  What version of Oracle are you using? One thing - you can pass a variable of liaison which is more than 4,000 characters - so your options are rather spend a clob. Now if you're on 11g you can pass a clob in an immediate statement execute otherwise you will need to store the clob as varchar2 variable in the procedure, and then pass that variable in the statement execute immediate. In pl/sql, you can store up to 32K into a varchar2 variable.

• Cannot start a virtual machine with more than 1 CPU socket added

  I've set up a few boxes of ESXi 5.5 with the free license in recent weeks, they have all been without problems so far. All 4 servers have the same exact hardware

  Environment:

  Dell Poweredge T620

  E5-2630 2 Intel CPU

  40 GB OF DDR3 ECC RAM

  ESXi is installed on 2 x 146 GB 15 K SAS drives RAID-1

  Data for virtual machines store are 8 x 600 GB 10 K SAS RAID-10 disc

  Guest operating system is Server2012r2 on all virtual machines

  Installed it on ESXi 3 previous were conducted with custom ESXi 5.5 Dell without problem.

  The 4th is where I will have questions. I used the following ESXi installed just in case there is a bug somewhere

  5.5 of VMware ESXi

  ESXi 5.5 customized by Dell

  5.5 U1 of VMware ESXi

  Any version of the ESXi I use I can't have a virtual machine to begin with more than 1 CPU socket added to it. The virtual machine does not start even the VMWare BIOS. I tried the Bios EFI as well with no luck. The error message I get in the events is ' fatal error VMware ESX: vcpu (vcpu-X)-X:VM - entry failed; Valid VMCS (error code 8). The vcpu-X is always another. I have attached the log file is created. If I give the VM 1 single processor TI starts very well. I'm at a loss as to what could be the issue.

  Problem is solved. I caught another server with identical hardware, verified it worked properly, then started to swap parts between them. Turned out to be CPU1. Once this has been replaced from a working server I have not had any problems. Warranty has been appealed.

  Thanks for all the help!

  Thank you...

  Hello

  Syntax:

  Service LDOM = local_domain RDOM = dom1, dom2, dom3

  sets the remote domains of failover for this particular import. It is not intended to provide access to a service in several areas. What you want, it's basically what you were doing, i.e.,.

  Service LDOM = local_domain, RDOM = dom1, dom2
  Service LDOM = local_domain, RDOM = dom2, dom3
  Service LDOM = local_domain, RDOM = dom3, dom4
  Service LDOM = local_domain, RDOM = dom4, dom1

  It would provide balance between the 4 areas and always provide areas of failover, although assigned to the ON_STARTUP linking strategies, then the following is sufficient:

  Service LDOM = local_domain, RDOM = dom1
  Service LDOM = local_domain, RDOM = dom2
  Service LDOM = local_domain, RDOM = dom3
  Service LDOM = local_domain, RDOM = dom4

  As only active areas will be used and those inactive is ignored.

  You use SQL * more your front end?

  SQL * Plus has a fixed width to display all columns. The default for numbers is 10 characters. If necessary, SQL * Plus will be round a number or the use of scientific notation, to represent the number of the expected number of characters.
  You can use the SQL * more "SET NUMLARGEUR" to change the default view for all the numbers of orders, or "COLUMN" to set a sepcific format in an individual column.
  If you explicitly convert your channel numbers in a query, SQL * Plus adjusts the column width to whatever is needed. For example

  SELECT  TO_CHAR (fee_amt, 'TM')     AS fee_amt_d
  

  "TM" is the default format; You can call TO_CHAR with a single argument, if you prefer.
