  I need to create a table with the same columns with data like number types (19)
  
  can someone help me
  
  Thank you

  You have changed your original post, so now I see that you get the invalid number.

  This is why you should always avoid the varchar columns to store numbers or dates...

  Since your table source contains a nonnumeric value, you can write a pl/sql to convert data and see what records are false:

  SQL> insert into a (col1,col2) values ('xxxx','2345');
  
  1 row created.
  
  SQL> select * from a;
  
  COL1     COL2
  -------- --------
  1234     2345
  xxxx     2345
  
  2 rows selected.
  
  SQL> create table b (col1 number(19), col2 number(19));
  
  Table created.
  
  SQL> set serverout on
  
  SQL> declare
    2  cursor c is
    3  select * from a;
    4  begin
    5    for r in c loop
    6     begin
    7       insert into b values (to_number(r.col1), to_number(r.col2));
    8     exception
    9       when invalid_number then
   10        dbms_output.put_line('Row rejected: col1='||r.col1||' col2='||r.col2);
   11     end;
   12    end loop;
   13  end;
   14  /
  Row rejected: col1=xxxx col2=2345
  
  PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
  
  SQL> select * from b;
  
        COL1       COL2
  ---------- ----------
        1234       2345

  Thank you.

  Lala,

  If the data in the database are in the format MM-DD-RR , then you must use the same format when you convert back to this day.

  So change the query to

  SELECT COLUMN1, COLUMN2 FROM TABLE WHERE TO_DATE(RECORD_DATE, 'MM-DD-RR') BETWEEN TO_DATE('01-JAN-2010') AND TO_DATE('10-JAN-2010')
  

  Kind regards

  However quick Q - How to display the current date in the layout editor (to show the report run date).

  Any quick suggestions is appreciated.

  Tab displays your selection available.

  It's like how when you insert the table in the Word document and when you select the table, you would see 2 additional tabs such as the design and the tool.

  Can you please insert "Text Element" and select the text element and see if you go to the tab 'text '?

  Same case expression does not change the data type.

• How to determine if a data type is used in the comic book?

  Background:
  I am currently planning to install GoldenGate proof of Concept and have questions about the data types supported by the capture mode (pg 1-5, 1-6 in the installation guide). Is not in itself a matter of GoldenGate.
  
  Our source and target databases are 11.2.0.2
  The GG server will be 11.2.0.3
  I'm new to the environment and want to confirm that we needn't upgrade the source and target the DBs to 11.2.0.3 in order to use the integrated capture mode. This forces me to know if 3 specific types of data are used in the comics. The problem is, Oracle docs aren't clear to me, when they refer to 3 specific data types.
  
  Here's the question:
  
  Does anyone know how I can confirm that the following 3 data types are used in the DB by querying the dictionary: "XML stored in binary form',"XML stored as object-relational","abstract data Type "?
  
  If I select the types of data separate from dba_tab_columns, I see no data enumerated type that indicates, for example, that an XML string is stored as a ' binary '.
  
  For me, when Oracle made reference to a "stored as binary XML" on page 1-6 on the installation guide, I guess that makes Oracle refers to a BLOB that contains an XML reference, but I can't be sure.
  
  Someone has an idea that they could share? I just want to confirm that we do not have to upgrade our source and target DBs at 11.2.0.3 by searching in the database is possible to confirm that the above 3 data types are not used by the application.
  
  Thanks in advance for any help.

  You should find XML columns stored in binary form or CLOB using the DBA_XML_TAB_COLS view referenced in http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e23094/xdb01int.htm#g644983.

  You should find XML tables using storage relational object in the view DBA_OBJECT_TABLES with:

  select
  owner,
  table_name,
  table_type
  from
  dba_object_tables
  where
  table_type='XMLTYPE';
  

  To abstract data type, you can query DBA_TAB_COLUMNS using ADT as literal for DATA_TYPE column:

• Bad high and low value with the varchar2 data type

  Hello
  
  It is an application on e - biz on database 9205, with inventory module.
  
  In one of the mtl_txn_request_headers of the table, the data for the number of application type is varchar2 (30). When I checked the low_value & high_value in dab_tab_columns, I see that the low_value is 100001 (6 digits) and high_value is 99999 (5 digits).
  
  I used the utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2 (low_value) to convert the value.
  
  In our case, we save a large part of the value in incremental number and some of our query will be in the predicate of the range (between).
  
  How should I handle this kind of situation and which option do I?
  
  Appreciate any help. Thank you.

  Accepted this looks like a classic bad-data type problem, but as this picture seems be part of Oracle E-Business Suite the OP should probably talk first Oracle.

• Employee_number hr.per_all_people_f varchar2 data type

  Hello Oracle gurus, could someone tell me why the number of employee in the table Per_All_People_F column is varchar2 instead of the data type data type Number.
  
  Thanks in advance, Naveen Gagadam

  Hi Naveen

  The employee number may be whatever it is based on the requirement, for example, you can have employee number which begins with the a. The data type of this field is Varchar2 instead of the number so you can customize employee number using the quick forumla.
