Character Length of a Query

What is the maximum length or a query in Oracle? I have to build a query with a variable length where clause and cannot find any doc on how many characters my select statement may contain.

http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/server.920/a96536/ch44.htm#288033
All I did was use the search engine at handy-dandy "HOW TO: Find online documentation for Oracle" link that Andrew just posted about 6 hours ago.

  • Querying CHAR columns with character length semantics unreliable

    Hi again,
    It appears that there is a bug in the JDBC drivers whereby it is highly unlikely that the values of CHAR columns that use character length semantics can be accurately queried using ResultSet.getString(). Instead, the drivers return the value padded with space (0x#20) characters out to a number of bytes equal to the number of characters multiplied by 4. The number of bytes varies depending on the number and size of any non-ascii characters stored in the column.
    For instance, if I have a CHAR(1) column, a value of 'a' will return 'a ' (4 characters/bytes are returned), a value of '\u00E0' will return '\u00E0 ' (3 characters / 4 bytes), and a value of '\uE000' will return '\uE000 ' (2 characters / 4 bytes).
    I'm currently using version 9.2.0.3 of the standalone drivers (ojdbc.jar) with JDK 1.4.1_04 on Redhat Linux 9, connecting to Oracle 9.2.0.2.0 running on Solaris.
    The following sample code can be used to demonstrate the problem (where the DDL at the top of the file must be executed first):
    import java.sql.*;
    import java.util.*;
    This sample generates another bug in the Oracle JDBC drivers where it is not
    possible to query the values of CHAR columns that use character length semantics
    and are NOT full of non-ascii characters. The inclusion of the VARCHAR2 column
    is just a control.

    FYI, this has been mentioned as early as November last year:
    String with length 1 became 4 when nls_lang_semantics=CHAR
    and was also brought up in Feburary:

  • Query Rules - length limitation on query conditions set via powershell

    My current client has 200 custom keywords in SP 2010 which they would like to migrate to SP 2013 query results.  I have powershell scripts to perform the export from SP 2010 and import into one of three SP 2013 environments.
    One limitation I have found in powershell -- that does not happen in the search service application UI! -- is a 100 character length limit on the keywords used for matching query conditions (synonym data in SP 2010).   The keywords can be set through
    the UI without limitation but are limited to 100 characters when using powershell!  It makes no sense!
    I suppose my final update could be done by hand (ugh!) and I would much rather be able to script these updates.  
    Any pointers or help?

    Hi grobinson,
    If you used this code line in your Powershell and have the following error:
    [string[]]$QueryRuleTerms=@($QueryRuleConditionTerm)
    Exception calling "CreateKeywordCondition" with "2" argument(s): "The value must be at most 100 characters long.
    Parameter name: Term"
    At line:2 char:1
    + $QueryRuleCondition = $QueryRuleConditions.CreateKeywordCondition($QueryRuleTerm ...
    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ArgumentOutOfRangeException
    You need to use the following code line with Split() method to add the multiple terms, it will work.
    $QueryRuleConditionTerm = "a1;a10;a100;a101;a102;a103;a104;a105;a106;a11;a12;a13;a14;a15;a16;a17;a18;a19;a2;a20;a21;a22;a23;a24;a25;a26;a27;a28;a29;a3;a30;a31;a32;a33;a34;a35;a36;a37;a38;a39;a4;a40;a41;a42;a43;a44;a45;a46;a47;a48;a49;a5;a50;a51;a52;a53;a54;a55;a56;a57;a58;a59;a6;a60;a61;a62;a63;a64;a65;a66;a67;a68;a69;a7;a70;a71;a72;a73;a74;a75;a76;a77;a78;a79;a8;a80;a81;a82;a83;a84;a85;a86;a87;a88;a89;a9;a90;a91;a92;a93;a94;a95;a96;a97;a98;a99;a991"
    #use the following codeline, it worked for me
    [string[]] $QueryRuleTerms = $QueryRuleConditionTerm.Split(";")
    $QueryRuleConditions = $QueryRule.QueryConditions
    $QueryRuleCondition = $QueryRuleConditions.CreateKeywordCondition($QueryRuleTerms,$true)
    $QuerySourceContextCondition = $QueryRule.CreateSourceContextCondition($ResultSource)
    $QueryRule.Update()

  • Convert all VARCHAR2 data types to character length semantics

    Hi,
    I am wondering if there is an easy way to convert all columns in the database of data type VARCHAR2(x BYTE) to VARCHAR2(x CHAR)?
    Regards
    Håkan

    The DMU does not allow character length semantics migration for the following type of objects:
    - Columns already in character length semantics
    - Data dictionary columns
    - Columns under Oracle-supplied application schemas
    - CHAR attribute columns of ADT
    - Columns in clusters
    - Columns on which partition keys are defined
    Please check if the disabled nodes you observed in the wizard fall under one of these categories.

  • How set maximum character length in Fxml

    Hey can any body help me set Maximum character length in Fxml.
    thanx in advance

    I wrote my own TextField.
    I can't give you the code right now, but it's easy to create it by yourself.
    0 - create a private method that deletes any unwanted char/s: restoreRightLength();
    1 - Add a listener on the textProperty of your TextField/TextArea that calls restoreRightLength() method.
    2 - Override  the following methods:
    @Override
    public void replaceText(int start, int end, String text) {
    super.replaceText(start, end, text);
    restoreRightLength();
    @Override
    public void replaceSelection(String text) {
    super.replaceSelection(text);
    restoreRightLength();

  • Extend character length of an idoc segment

    Hello Gurus,
    Our client requires a longer character length for NAME2 and STRAS. SAP standard is that character length for this is 35. Is there a way to extend the length of these idoc segments? Thanks in advance.

    About which IDOC are you talking?
    And why do you need more characters?
    If you are talking about CREMAS vendor or DEBMAS customer,
    then you should consider the ADRMAS Idoc as well.
    Because addresses are stored in central address managment tables sind 4.6 release.
    CREMAS and DEBMAS do not support central address management.
    Please read OSS note 306275 and 384462 for migration of addresses

  • Problem of character length

    I have a question about the length of character. If i set the variable  (e.g. GG) of internal table and its character length is 1000.    <e.g. data:  gg(1000).>
    and put it into one of the columns of the report listing.
    but that column only can see part of it (from 0 to 128 characters only).
    So if i want to change to excel, then the latter part of this field is omitted... How can i retain all the characters when export to excel format.
    coz i don't want to miss any data from here.

    but all the fields is get from the table (in the program)....
    for example:
    itab-CLOSING = xxxx-xxxxx. (which contains more than 255 characters)
    (i've use strlen( itab-CLOSING ) to check the length, it's normal ), but
      wa-fieldname = 'CLOSING'.
      wa-reptext_ddic = 'Closing Date/Time'.
      append wa to fcat.
      clear wa.
    the column itab-closing just show in the screen for the first 128 characters only. so i can't still get the whole data when export to excel ...

  • Character length of an editable fields

    hi frnz,
       I have created an editable field in an ALV report.My client wants the character length of this editable field as 1000.I have made the data type as 'STRINGS' and length as '1000', but still in this editable field i am able to feed only upto character length of 128 not beyond this value.The text which my client wants to feed is of 950 characters. Could anyone give some solution for this
    Thanks

    Hi, i think you have to give intlen and outputlen in field catalog
    FIELDCAT-INTLEN = 1000.
    FIELDCAT-OUTPUTLEN = 1000.
    Please check the doc of field catalog

  • DRG-11112: length of CLOB query value exceeds maximum of 64000

    Is there a CLOB length limitation when running an Oracle Text search? (v 11.1.0.7) I have checked the Reference Guide and Application Developer's Guide.

  • Character Length restrictions in BW

    Dear BW Experts,
    We are getting data from an external source. We have a field whose length is more than 60. I am unable to bring this field in to BW since BW has the restriction of not more than 60 character length. I cannot split the field since it is like a comment field.
    Could you tell me if there are other ways of getting such data in to BW where the length is more than 60 say like 500 or 1000 in length.
    Thanks,
    Sai

    Hi Sai,
    As we all know maximum length of info object is 60.The only way to get the data more than 60 is create another info object and add this as attributes to the base info object and make this attributes as display attributes.
    check the below blog, you have clear explanation

    2. The best online source of this information is probably the IBM LDAP schema reference site:

    Just click on attribute types on the left hand menu then scroll down to the attribute you wish to find out information about. You will notice OC information is on this site as well ...

    Hi folks,

    Obviously common sense prevails here. The system is unlikely to perform very well if you start passing around MBs of data in text variables!

  • ID character length - 16 or 20?

    What is the max character length of dimension IDs in BPC for NW? I thought it was 16 initially but now apparently is 20? According to an SAP doc:
    "Dimension field names may ONLY be max of 16 characters instead of 20"
    I understand property values can be up to 60 or greater. But, what about the the value of an ID? Does the above mean IDs can only be 16?

    Hi John,
    According to Scott from SAP, ID can be 20 characters.

    Hi Dries,
    Velavan and I have been meaning to publish a new guide for sometime however we have not gotten the time to update everything. I am attaching a transport with the latest and greatest updates here to the forum for your and the rest of the communities benefit.
    There are some things to watch out for. Specifically if you are using scenario 1 of the guide and you are trying to load from an infoObject into a BPC Dimension where the infoObjects technical length is greater than 20 (the maximum length for a BPC Dimension) it automatically generates a hash key for the ID value that is 20 characters in length. This is not the behavior when running scenario 2.
    I hope this update helps.
    Cheers, Scott
