Oracle Data-Types

I see the Data-types such as VARCHAR in the ALL_OBJECTS view with an OBJECT_TYPE of 'TYPE'. Since these are listed along with other 'TYPE' objects, how to identify the Data-types alone?
Or, are the Data-types stored in some other table? Because, when I query ALL_OBJECTS at home I see the data-types but don't see them at work. Is there an ALL_XXX view where I can retrieve all the data-types?
Thanks in advance...

Accessing oracle data types of a different schema

I am having trouble accessing the Oracle data types in a stored procedure. The owner of the stored procedures and the oracle data types is "ODSCUST". I am trying to access this using "CUSTOM" ID from my java program. Recently our DBAs have made a change in schema owners so the ID loging into the Oracle instance is not the owner of the data types or the stored procedures. The "CUSTOM" user has the grants to access all the types and stored procedures. There are also public synonymns created for the oracle data types and stored procedure.
Here is a snipit of the code:
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
String user="custom";
String password="test";
String database="sbpair11";
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:oracle:oci:@" + database, user, password);
OracleCallableStatement stmt = (OracleCallableStatement)conn.prepareCall( "begin ods_cust.retrieveCustPrflData(?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?); end;" );
stmt.setString( 1, "5592556485");
stmt.registerOutParameter( 2, OracleTypes.STRUCT, "KSCOPEACCOUNT" );
stmt.registerOutParameter( 3, OracleTypes.ARRAY, "KSCOPERSUUSOCARRAY" );
stmt.registerOutParameter( 4, OracleTypes.ARRAY, "KSCOPECUTADDRARRAY" );
stmt.registerOutParameter( 5, OracleTypes.STRUCT, "KSCOPECONTACT" );
stmt.registerOutParameter( 6, OracleTypes.STRUCT, "KSCOPEPROFILE" );
stmt.registerOutParameter( 7, OracleTypes.ARRAY, "KSCOPEEMAILARRAY" );
stmt.executeUpdate();
Here is the response I get back when I run the program:
Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: ORA-04043: object "CUSTOM"."KSCOPEACCOUNT" does not exist

Note:
When I do a "desc KSCOPEACCOUNT" or "desc CUSTOM.KSCOPEACCOUNT" in sqlplus as the "CUSTOM" id it works but not from Java. Initially I was using the JDBC thin driver but was recomended to switch to OCI which still didn't resolve this issue.

Way too little info here for a definite conclusion.
Some thoughts:
1.) Did you take down the database when you were moving the datafiles? If so, is this the first time the batch job is running since the move? If so, perhaps the cache is cold?
2.) How much physical I/O is the batch job doing? Has the volume of physical I/O changed significantly after the move? What are the characteristics of the lun on which the newly mounted filesystem is built? Is it a smaller number of spindles than before?
Ultimately, you need to profile the batch process, and determine where the most time is being consumed.

Insert current date and time into Oracle date type field

I have a JDBC current date and time insert into Oracle 9i that almost works. It submits the current date and a fixed time into the Oracle date type field. I am using Tomcat 6.0.20.
For example if I insert the data at 7:24:04 PM on Feb 16, 2010 it will insert as: 16-Feb-2010 12:00:00 AM
The date part works but the time always shows 12:00:00 AM no matter what date or time the data is inserted.
Here is what I have for my JDBC inserts and I also tried something with DateFormat:
PreparedStatement ps; Date mydate = new Date(new java.util.Date().getTime()); //insert statement here.... stmt.setDate(1,mydate);
I also tried:
PreparedStatement ps; java.sql.Timestamp mydate = new java.sql.Timestamp(new java.util.Date().getTime()); SimpleDateFormat fmt = new SimpleDateFormat(.... //insert statement here.... ps.setTimestamp(1,fmt.format(mydate));
Both keep submitting the date into Oracle as 16-Feb-2010 12:00:00 AM
Anyway to get the current date and time? For example if I insert the data at 7:24.04 pm today it should show as 16-Feb-2010 07:24.04 PM in Oracle.

If you want a date and time then use java.sql.Timestamp.

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle: Data type is not supported.

I got the error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle: Data type is not supported.
Shortly after upgrading from Oracle 8 to Oracle 9. I was advised to download more up to date oracle drivers, but I was wondering if there was a way to tell what version of the 'OLE DB Provider for Oracle' is already at. Is there a command I can use via SQL Plus or something?

I have found Microsoft ODBC for Oracle to be more stable than the Microsoft OLEDB for Oracle driver. I have also found both Microsoft ODBC and OLEDB drivers to be more stable than the drivers from Oracle.
You could always get the latest MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Components) from Microsoft's MSDN Download site and then get the ODAC (Oracle Data Access Components) from Oracle's OTN Download site. ODAC requires MDAC. And ODAC has the latest drivers.
I suppose it would help to have the latest patches for your Oracle client software too. Maybe Oracle MetaLink would have these?
It may even help to have the latest service pack for Visual Studio 6 (Visual C++ 6 and Visual Basic 6) too.

Which oracle data type store Maximum data?

Hi All
could any one suggest me that i store maximum data in oracle data type for that which data type i have to use?
i m working on Oracle 10g
Thanks

Refer

and choose the data type that you need to (except for LONG - it has too many limitations and is only provided for backward compatibility).

ASP VS Oracle data types

Hi, someone know why when allocate a numeric value in an ASP variable with a recordset of oracle 10, return as text ? in database are numeric and is confirmed
Thanks a lot

This is not an ASP support forum - so you need to focus your question on the Oracle side of your problem and describe that accurately and in detail. Adding an example or sample code will assist forum members even more in trying to diagnose the issue and provide solutions.
As for Oracle client-server - Oracle (server/db side) never sees and never deals with client-side (e.g. ASP) data types.
The client uses an Oracle driver (OCI or JDBC) to communicate with the server. The client language provides an interface to this driver - and this interface typically deals with converting client data types into compatible Oracle server data types when making the call to Oracle. When the Oracle server receives the call from the driver, it sees Oracle data types (as passed by the driver). Thus the server will never see client data types or convert client data types to server data types.
So the data type conversion happens in the client layer - not in the server layer.

Generating a Web Service and Oracle DATE type

Hi,
I need to generate a Web Service from an EJB model based upon entities generated from the Oracle 11g database that contain DATE types.
I realize that java.sql.Date may not be a supported JAX-RPC type but I would be VERY grateful for some instructions about the easiest way to solve this problem when generating the web service in JDeveloper 11g.

OSB JCA Adapter - Enqueue - BLOB Oracle data type

Hi,
I am tring to enqueue a message into oracle advacned queue using JCA AQ adapter of OSB. The message in the Q has BLOB data type.
I used AQ Adapter enqueue operation for this, and an opaqueue schema in the adapter wsdl. I created a business service out of the adapter service and tested it using
OSB. I am able to enqueue, but then if i go and see in the data base payload the value of the BLOB column is JUNK... some funky values..
Any help on this. Appreciate your suggestions.

ORACLE Data Types within Datasets

Hi,
While creating a typed dataset by draging an ORACLE table
from the Server explorer
All Oracle number Columns are using the data type Decimal
inside the dataset.
Is it better to use (change to) the real data type like Int32 etc ?
Have anybody experience ?
Kind Regards
Martin

Martin,
OleDb.NET defaults to System.Decimal for Oracle NUMBER columns. The only was is to manually change it after the typed dataset is generated.
If you are working with an untyped dataset ODP.NET will set the DataColumn depending on the precision and scale of the Oracle NUMBER column.

Is there any chance that ORacle RDBMS persuades ODBC to consider Oracle Date type as Date without time

Hello,
I have complain from SPSS end user reaching Oracle through ODBC interface that Oracle date fields are considered as datetime fields in SPSS.
It is the whish that SPSS would consider Oracle date field right from the beginning as date field without the need to reformat field...
In SPSS dictionary field is described as DATETIME20 after query from the database.
Any idea is apreciated,

I just double check and didn't see this option anywhere. You can however copy/paste text on a BlackBerry. I believe the only way would be to copy it in your email client and have the BlackBerry synchronize with it

BOOLEAN oracle data types

Hi.
I tried searching but all the links were broken... Seems OTN Java is broken more or less 100%...
I have some functions in PL/SQL using boolean parameteres, and I'm at a loss for figuring out how to get them in Java.
I would like to do something this:
cs.registerOutParameter(1, Types.BOOLEAN);
Types.BOOLEAN does not exist... I see in my Oracle in a nutshell that Java booleans map to number, but there is no mention of PL/SQL booleans...

Now it seems some of the OTN pages is working again. In the JDBC FAQ it seems that booleans must be wrapped as numbers.
See http://otn.oracle.com/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc_faq.htm#_31_

Tg4msql - Blob Data Type Support(Oracle 8i - sql server 2000)

hi,
We are trying to replicate the data from oracle 8i to sql server 2000 through tg4msql.if we want to replicate the data thet contains the blob field , we are getting invalid expression in the procedure marked with error line.
the procedure i am using is as follows
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE INSERT_SQL
AS
BEGIN
FOR VAL_CURSOR IN
--Get the Data from the table with status 0
SELECT rs_report_rowid FROM BIJU.rs_report where rs_report_status = 0
LOOP
for new_cursor in
--get the details of the record with the row id
select id ,name,DOB from biju.sample where rowid = val_cursor.rs_report_rowid
LOOP
---insert the data from oracle to sql where the oracle data type contains blob(here photo field data type is blob).
Error Line: insert into [email protected](id,name,photo) values(new_cursor.id,new_cursor.NAME,new_cursor.DOB);
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;
i want to know that tg4msql won't support the blob data type on the oracle end?we configured blob eqivalent in sql server as binary.Any help or suggestion regarding this are welcome..
regards
Srini

Srini,
Support for LOB was added in v9.2. It is not supported in 8i.

How to insert data type information to oracle database

thank you very much for the great help!!

I don't have time to read thru all your code, but I hope this information will help you.
It depends on how the Oracle database was set up. Usually, the date format is something like this: '27-MAY-2003 22:10:00'. A quick check will be to run this SQL script in SQLPlus:
select sysdate from dual;
You have to convert the date from textbox or whatever to this exact Oracle format. Otherwise, Oracle will not accept it. It is very picky on that. I found the best way is to do the conversion inside the SQL statement. It makes life so much easier.
Hope this helps.
