How to alter the size of a varchar in an existing table?

I have created a table with a column called 'Address 1' and given it the value Varchar2(15) but have since notice when inserting data that it goes over this. How to I go about increasing this value to say, 20 without having to delete the tale and start over again.
Any ideas?

ALTER TABLE <table_name> MODIFY (<column_name> <data_type_and_size>);

In the future make an attempt to look it up in the docs before asking questions about base functionality that has been around for more than 20 years.

  • How to increase the size of text boxes in FCPX without stretching the text inside?

    How to increase the size of text boxes in FCPX without stretching the text inside?

    There are two basic Title formats — I should say Layouts — available:  Text (plain) and Paragraph.  (The plain text version usually does not appear with the blue dot controls — those generally appear for the paragraph type control.)
    If the Title is using a Paragraph layout, it's like having a mini version of Text Edit available inside FCPX. You can tell when you click on the text (when the title is selected) -- a rectangle will appear around the text like so:
    double clicking on the text will give you the bounds controls which you can use to redefine the text area without distorting the text. Once selected, notice the button that appears in the top right corner of the canvas:
    Pressing that will activate the ruler. You can right click on the ruler and add Tab Stops (left, right, center and decimal.)
    So if the title uses paragraph formatting, you can create a very WYSIWYG type of display text (use the Text inspector to alter text selections within the paragraph bounds.)

  • How to modify the blob size, or how to set the size?

    i want to know how to modify the blob size, or how to set the size?
    what's the default size of blob?
    Thanks in advance.

    Blob datatype can contain binary data with a maximum size of 4 GB.
    when you enter 10kb file, the database will only use 10kb to store the file (depending on block size etc)
    if you want to modify the blob size, you may do like this:
    SQL> create materialized view t_mv refresh fast on commit
    2 as select id, dbms_lob.getlength(x) len from t;
    Materialized view created.
    SQL> alter table t_mv add constraint t_mv_chk check (len < 100);
    Table altered.

  • How to reduce the size of exising tablespace?

    Hi,
    I assigned 2GB dbsize to a tablespace.
    Now I would like to reduce the table space to 1GB.
    The tablespace used is 60MB.
    When I try to reduce the size to 1GB its showing a message as follows.
    "ORA-03297: file contains used data beyond requested RESIZE value".
    Even I truncated all the data from all tables to which this table space is allocated. However, its not allowing me to resize it.
    How can I do this? Is there any other way to do this?
    Thank you,
    Regards,
    Gowtham Sen.

    You may not be able to reduce the size of your datafile just by truncating tables. It does not matter if it is 9i or 10g. TRUNCATE just resets the high watermark of your tables, it leaves the first extent in place. So if you have tables whose first extents reside in the last part of a datafile you cannot resize it below that level.

    Best thing to do is write your own table model and a Cell Renderer for the check box.

  • For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. Nothing there about sizing.

    For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. I don't see anything about re-sizing when I click the adjust tab: only saturation and tint levels. Thank you.

    With respect to digital images, there really is no size in inches. The size is given as number of pixels horizontally and vertically. In iPhoto '09 you click the little "i" inthe lower right side of the window and it will display information related to the selected photo, including the pixel dimensions. I do not have iPhoto '11 installed so I don't know if it is the same there.
    In some applications, such as preview, it has something additional called Dots per Inch (DPI) which you would think would allow you to convert the pixel dimensions to inches. It is not a real thing, though. The DPI is determined by how large or small you have chosen to print your photo and the capabilities of your printer. 
    There is also something called Aspect Ratio, which is usually expressed in inches x inches such as 6x9 but that doesn't mean the size on the screen or when printed is 6x9.  It is the ratio of the pixel dimensions.  When cropping your photos, you will have several standard aspect ratios to choose from plus any custom ones you create.
    In iPhoto '09, after you choose Print, in the Print Setting window are the settings for the size you want the photo printed. You want to shoose a setting with the same aspect ratio of your photo. Otherwise, iPhoto will resize and/or crop your photo to fit the size you have chosen. 

  • How to change the size of control´s prompt?

    No matter the size of data to be displayed in the view suface prompt, the controls have the same size.
    Does anyone here know how to change the size of control in surface prompt?

    HI,
    In order to change the size of a radio button... one way you may consider is to Customise the Radio Button.
    Place a Radio Button (RB) on the FP of a VI, Right-Click the RB > Advanced > Customise...
    Click the Mode Button (most Left button) for Edit Mode
    Right-click the radio button (the round image) now, you will see a list of actions i.e. Copy to clipboard, import picture ...You will see Four images under the 'Picture Item', those are the images that you will need to replace.
    Prepare Four Images of the similar but larger expected size
    *** Copy the 1st new image to clipboard. Back to the Picture Item and select 1st image. Then, select Import Picture (to replace the existing image)
    Repeat *** for all four images.
    Once done, change the mode back to original. Save the *.ctl
    You are now ready to use the customised radio button!
    Quick sample attached (sorry for the poor images created )
