  It seems little ugly to see these data. Why the length of the column is so long? Please tell how to set the length of columns and other settings so that the displayed data should come out in the form of a well managed and beautiful way.

  I wrote this by hand. How do I get the display to sqlplus.exe?

  Easiest would be to use the command column format and also the linesize option.

  sql>column column_name format a30
  sql>set linesize 300
  

  The order of column would make the display limited to 30 characters only. Also the linesize enlarge the display. Try it and see what it looks like?

  Hi all

  for the date of the range I have 5 files among them 4 records has value for the SH_NUMBER column and a block is null.
  but I don't get any record for which SH_NUMBER is set to null.
  why there is not this number?

  AND SH_NUMBER = NVL(l_num,SH_NUMBER)

  How this code above will be the judge?
  
  Please suggest me.

  Try this:

  or:

• How to add the not null columns to an existing table?

  I have a table with hundreds of row inside. I try to add a new column not null. It gives me the following error
  
  ALTER TABLE sys.xyz CHANGE xyz_no number 4 DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL;
  
  ORA-02296: impossible to activate (sys.) - found null values
  
  Also I tried to do the following
  
  ALTER TABLE sys.xyz CHANGE xyz_no number 4 DEFAULT '1';
  
  And then I tried to ALTER TABLE sys.xyz CHANGE xyz_NO number 4 NOT NULL; and I still gives me the same error. I took the tally for null values for the same column and has 1555.
  
  In this case how can I change my article with not null not?. Please help, I am a newbie in oracle.

  I cry out to you for creating a table as SYS. However, I'm going to fully support Sybrand making. Never, ever, create any object as SYS unless the source code received you from Oracle in a patch.

  Hye,

  I want to create a table with 2 columns:

  If you need a multiple character string, such as '? ~', to delimit the columns, then the same basic approach works, but the regular expression is messier.

  Product is just another column in this solution. Can be NULL, and it doesn't have to be unique.

• Is it possible to remove the NOT NULL to a non-key column constraint?

  Oracle version: Enterprise Edition 11g - 11.2.0.1.0
  OS: Redhat Linux Enterprise Edition 5.0
  
  
  
  Hi all
  
  
  I have a question on the NON NULL columns in oracle tables and I would be grateful if you could kindly help me with this problem well.
  
  I have the following table

  CREATE TABLE ARTICLES
  (
      artid                VARCHAR2(20),
      lbl                  VARCHAR2(100)        NOT NULL,
      cmporder             VARCHAR2(30)         NOT NULL      
  )
  
  ALTER TABLE ARTICLES ADD CONSTRAINT PK_ARTICLES PRIMARY KEY(artid);

  It's about a year that I have this table but recently the data model has changed and the third column of the table is that is mandatory, so NULL values for column 3 cmporder are allowed. I want to know is if it is possible to change the definition of the table (for example using an ALTER statement) in order to remove the "NOT NULL" in the third column constraint? This way I can keep the 2 million lines that are already in the table and avoid making a bakup before the deletion and re-creation of the table.
  
  
  Thanks in advance,
  
  Kind regards

• How to set "Time scale" to "None"?

  Hi expert,
  
  We want to set up an account where user can enter the individual monthly figs, with the total quarterly being either the sum of the value of months under him (i.e. flows), or as the last month of the quarter (balance), while the user can enter a value other than "YearTotal' in 'year Total '.
  
  By default, user grasp what this either in the YearTotal, it would get spread to the individual months under him. Is it possible to disable this spread, so that the user can enter the total of the year, without affecting the monthly entries?
  
  The period dimension is a dense dimension, with summaries members period the value "Dynamic Calc."
  
  I'm trying to adjust the Balance of the 'time' to 'None' and hoping it would then not inherit the flow / characteristic balance in the total of the year. But when I try to deploy the application, I got error, saying: it's an hour not valid balance properties.
  
  Please tell us if:
  i. possible in order to set up a special account where every month and yeartotal inputable user? And if so, how?
  II. what should be the behavior expected if the value "Balance time", "None"? and how to set?
  
  We are on HP version 11.1.2.1.
  
  Thank you!

  How are you making it to "None"?

  You can stop the spread. (Jake Turrell explained how it works in a different thread)

  If you create a form in line with the different months in logical columns/rows (not not selecting them using a function like Idescendents (YearTotal) or Jan, Feb, Mar), select them under the name of each column.

  Column A
  Jan
  Column B
  Feb
  .......

  Then spread will not work.

  I don't think you can possibly do this job using low version upwards. (simple reason that schedule does not allow you to write to top member, if your version is low at the top)

  You can create a Standard Version of the target and then use the method above (splitting method of individual columns months) to achieve this.

  Why do you want to enter YearTotal, why not use BegBalance and add values to this member? (Just a thought)

• Please let me know how I can add a new column with a constraint not null, table already has data, without falling off the table... Please help me on this issue...

  Hello

  I have an emp_job_det with a, b, c columns table. Note that this TABLE ALREADY has DATA OF THESE COLUMNS

  IAM now add a new column "D" with forced not null

  Fistly I alter the table by adding the single column "D", if I do, the entire column would be created with alll of nulls for the column DEFAULT D

  ALTER table emp_job_det Add number D; -do note not null CONSTRAINT is not added

  Second... If I try to add the constraint not null, get an eoor as already conatained null values...

  (GOLD)

  In other words, if I put the query

  ALTER table emp_job_det Add number D NOT NULL; -THROWS ERROR AS TABLE ALREADY CONTAINS DATA

  So my question is how how can I add a new column with a constraint not null, table already has the data, without falling off the table

  Please help me on this issue...

  Add the column without constraint, then fill the column. Once all the rows in the table are given in the new column, and then add the constraint not null.
