Length of the column of type 'text '.

Hello. I get various data about the columns of a table using sp_column. Everything works as I expected, except for one thing. When I get the length of a column of data type 'text', it returns the number of 2147483647 when she is supposed to return 16. I played a bit with this issue, and I can't find any relationship, mainly because it is first. Is it possible that I can get the actual length of the table? Thank you.

The text data type has a maximum length of (2 ^ 31)-1 = 2 147 483 647 characters. This should be what said you as the sp_columns. The DATALENGTH() function should return the length of a specific text, if that's what you're after.

  • Increase the length of the column - restriction key foreign vs MS SQL

    Hello

    I need to increase the length of the column (nvarchar) in some tables. Between these tables are foreign keys.

    When I try to do it on MS SQL databases using the command as "ALTER TABLE TABLE_NAME ALTER COLUMN column NAME NVARCHAR (50) NULL" then I get the error like below:

    Column ' dbo. TABLEA. NAME ' is not the same length or scale as the referencing column or the 'FKNAME' object depends on the column 'name'.

    Therefore resume, on MS SQL I drop all constraints, alter table and re-create constraints.

    When I do this same thing on the oracle database (oracle database a same pattern as MS SQL database, same fk, same tables, columns, etc.) using the command as "ALTER TABLE table_name MODIFY COLUMN NVARCHAR2 (40);  " then length is change without any erros and I wounder t - it a correct situation on oracle? -all the constraints are enabled. Oracle checks the length of data to foreign key columns?

    As I understand the error (ORA-02267: column type incompatible with the type of the referenced column) is the show that if the data type name is not equal between data tables not type length (?)

    To reproduce:

    1 create tables

    CREATE TABLE "TABLEA".

    (ACTIVATE THE 'NAME' NVARCHAR2 (20) NOT NULL,)

    NUMBER OF "TEXTID",.

    'PK_TABLEA' CONSTRAINT PRIMARY KEY ("NAME")

    );

    CREATE TABLE 'TABLEB.

    (SELECT 'ID' NUMBER NOT NULL,)

    NVARCHAR2 (10) "NAME."

    NUMBER OF "WWW."

    "TABLEB' ('ID') PRIMARY KEY CONSTRAINT

    );

    2. create the fk

    ALTER TABLE TABLEB ADD CONSTRAINT FK_TABLEB FOREIGN KEY ('NAME') REFERENCES 'TABLEA' ('NAME');

    On MS SQL, you get an error message on the same length of column ;) no

    Thank you

    Whatever it is, the answer seems to be here: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17952_01/refman-5.5-en/create-table-foreign-keys.html

    "Corresponding columns in the foreign key and the referenced key must have similar data types. The size and the sign of the integer types must be the same. The length of the string types are not necessarily the same. For the non-binary (character) string, the character set and collation columns must be the same. "

  • 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).

    Thnx in advance for help out me...

    tank means fixed length variable. When you say char(10) oracle reserves 10 spaces for your data. to your output, it means that you are, because spaces are also considered to be data. This is the reason why, it does not reduce the size.

    best solution is to create a new column with the data type varchar2 or char (5) and transfer the data in this column in the new column, and then delete the original column.

    You must follow my instructions carefully.

    1. Select the record group.

    2. go in the record group property

    3. Select and open the column specifications

    4. highlight the column and check the decrease of the length, the bellows of the size that you cross more than 2000 then 2000.

    Compilation of now and you're done.

    Specification of column names is required, but you can omit the declaration of data types.

    See: the function XMLTABLE SQL/XML in Oracle XML DB

    XMLTable is used with storage XML based on a schema of XMLType data type is optional. If absent, the data type is inferred from the XML schema. If Oracle > XML DB is unable to determine the right type of a node, a default type VARCHAR2 (4000) is used.

    It is an Oracle extension; in the SQL/XML standard, the data type is always required.

    Note:
    The alleged data type might change as a result of the application of a patch or upgrade of Oracle XML DB. In particular, a new set of release or patch might be able to > determine the data type when the previous version was unable to do so (and therefore not reimbursed to VARCHAR2 (4000)). To protect against such an eventuality, specify an explicit data type with the data type.

  • Control the length of the column 1 - column 2 grows

    Hello

    I have a page of web HTML5 CSS3 with two columns. The left column has a background color and this extends as much as I add text in the left column. How can I force the background color in the left column to expand towards the bottom of the page, as more text is added in the right hand column of.

    Here is the CSS for the left column:-

    #sidebar {}
    Width: 230px;
    float: left;
    background-color: #A4C2C2;
    font: 12px Georgia;
    color: #336666;
    line-height: 18px;
    height: 100%;
    padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
    margin: 5px 5px 5px 0;
    border-radius: 7px;
    -moz-border-radius: 7px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 7px;
    }

    I guess another way to put it, it's that I want to replace the height: 100% above with:-If "right column grows beyond the height of the left column" then "increase the height of the left column.

    Dear OracleLover2,

    All columns have the same data because there is no where clause in the update statement and that's why it would update all records.

    I don't know what should be the condition for the update, because this is business logic, which you need to know.

    There was the fundamental problem in the code that I pointed out above in my last comment.

    You write once appropriate where clause in your query of update, it will give you the desired results.

    It will be useful.

    Check the answer as useful / OK, if this can help you

  • update the column of type char to stem after insert or update the same column

    I have the table "people":

    and I need to make sure that the NAME column is always in uppercase letters, so I did as he illustrated in this link:
    http://asktom.Oracle.com/tkyte/mutate/

    I did this: -.
    ==================================
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER parent_bi
    BEFORE THE INSERT OR UPDATE
    ON people
    BEGIN
    state_pkg.newrows: = state_pkg.empty;
    END;

    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER parent_aifer

    END LOOP;
    END;
    /
    ======================================

    but nothing is coming, as the same that these triggers do not exist.

    So, what is wrong?
    and how I workaround to make this statement:-
    Setting a DAY people SET NAME = UPPER (NAME);
    whenever I update or insert in the name column.

    It is much simpler that that - you just need a BEFORE INSERT trigger

    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER your_trigger_name
      BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON persons
      FOR EACH ROW
    BEGIN
      :new.name := UPPER( :new.name);
    END;
    /
    

    As you can see from this example, which will force all uppercase

    SQL> create table persons (
      2    name varchar2(10)
      3  );
    
    Table created.
    
    SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER your_trigger_name
      2    BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON persons
      3    FOR EACH ROW

      6  END;

  • Problems in 10g in the column of type date

    Hello

    I have a test_abc of the table in which I have a column event_date who picks up the sysdate for any removable on this table. Now, if I have 2 rows in the table with the same value for the event_date column in the table, and then on actually doing a:
    Select * from test_abc by event_date;

    The results are retrieved correctly in 9i, i.e. in the order in which they were inserted. However, in 10g, the results are not retrieved from absolute randomly. Here's the scenario:

    create table test_abc (inv_id number event VARCHAR2 (3), date event_date, varchar2 (10)) remarks;

    insert into test_abc values (7552, 'ADD', TO_DATE (' October 1, 2009 10:45:48 ',' MON-DD-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'), 'test1');

    insert into test_abc values (7552, 'REL', TO_DATE (' October 1, 2009 10:45:48 ',' DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'), "test2");

    insert into test_abc values (7552, 'RTE', TO_DATE (' October 1, 2009 10:45:48 ',' DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'), "test3");

    insert into test_abc values (7552, 'SET', TO_DATE (' October 1, 2009 10:45:48 ',' MON-DD-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'), "test4");


    Now about the conduct of a select * from test_abc by event_date, I get the following in 9i result:

    INV_ID EVENT EVENT_DATE REMARKS
    -------- -------- ---------------------------------- --------------
    7552 ADD 01/10/2009 10:45:48 test1
    7552 REL 01/10/2009 10:45:48 test2

    7552 SET 01/10/2009 10:45:48 test4

    Whereas, in 10g, the output is:

    INV_ID EVENT EVENT_DATE REMARKS

    Could someone help me understand what could be the problem.

    Thanks in advance.

    The point is that Oracle does not guarantee that lines emerge in one order other than that covered by the order by clause.

    In a statement, a game of results without an order by (or without enough order bys in your case) can change at any time.

    Mainly because that the plan of the SQL and the inner workings of the CBO for this plan will determine the order and there are many factors that can cause this plan change.

    If the INSERT command is important to you, you can use a sequence number, possibly peopled by a trigger, increase your order in event_date.

  • How to download all the images in the folder to the column of type BLOB (problem of area to create BLOB)

    Hello

    I use JDeveloper 11.1.2.3 version, I need to download all the images in my local folder to the database at a time table. The problem I face is to create BLOBDomain for each of them?

    Best regards,

    Julien

    If you can access the files, that only works if they are on the server, you can read the file and create the domain of the BLOB in the file directly. The technique is the same as in the blob. Only difference is that you pass the file to the method and open the input stream of the file instead of the UploadedFile.
