DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT.DESEncrypt ... length of output ?

If I know the max length of input data, can I know the max length of encrypted output ?
(e.g. for storing password in encrypted format, i should know the size of field, if max length of password is known )

The toolkit needs data in 8 byte multiples.
That means if your password is varchar2(30) use raw(32) to store the encrypted passwords.

Date field encryption using Dbms_Obfuscation_Toolkit.DESENCRYPT

Hi,
I need to encrypt the date field in the table using Dbms_Obfuscation_Toolkit.DESENCRYPT .
This is an table is an existing table and is accessed by many interfaces, so we cannot change the column type of this date field.
Is there a possibility of encrypting the date field and store it in the same column (DATE type).
And access this using Dbms_Obfuscation_Toolkit.DESDECRYPT.
We are using Oracle 11.2.0.2.0.
Thanks in advance.

No - the DESENCRYPT procedure returns a RAW value which can't be stored in a DATE column.
See DESENCRYPT Procedures and Functions in Chapter 82 (DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT) of the PL/SQl Packages and Types Doc
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28419/d_obtool.htm#i997215
For what you want to do just use the ENCRYPT option of the CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE statements.

3.2 Using Transparent Data Encryption
The following steps discuss using transparent data encryption:
•Enabling Transparent Data Encryption
•Setting and Resetting theMaster Encryption Key
•Opening the Encrypted Wallet
•Creating Tables with Encrypted Columns
•Encrypting Columns in Existing Tables
•Creating an Index on an Encrypted Column
•Adding or Removing Salt from an Encrypted Column
•Changing the Encryption Key or Algorithm for Tables Containing Encrypted Columns
>
Section 3.2.5.2 Encrypting an Unencrypted Column shows the ALTER TABLE statement for encrypting an existing column - this would leave the column as a DATE and you would work with it normally
>
3.2.5.2 Encrypting an Unencrypted Column
To encrypt an unencrypted column, use the ALTER TABLE MODIFY command, specifying the unencrypted column with the ENCRYPT clause. Example 3-7 encrypts the first_name column in the employee table.
Example 3-7 Encrypting an Unencrypted Column
ALTER TABLE employee MODIFY (first_name ENCRYPT);
The first_name column is encrypted with the default AES192 algorithm. Salt is added to the data, by default.
You can choose to encrypt the column using a different algorithm. You can also specify NO SALT, if you wish to index the column.

DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT.DESENCRYPT Problem

I am trying to encrypt and deencrypt a column in one of my table.I use oracle version 8.1.7.when i compile my procedure with the procedure DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT.DESENCRYPT is gets created and no errors.When i try to run the procedure i get the following error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06521: PL/SQL: Error mapping function
ORA-06512: at "DIEBOLD.DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT_FFI", line 0
ORA-06512: at "DIEBOLD.DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT", line 15
Since this package uses libraries do i need to do anything different?
Thanks in advance.

It doesn't help. My problem is that the following code result different in Oracle 8i and Oracle 10g.
declare
-- Local variables here
i integer;
text RAW(128) := UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_RAW('00000000');

Increase length of output field in ABAP Query

Hello All,
I have one ABAP Query in which inside the system generated program for the Query, there is a write statement -
write 030(020) anlav-invnr
Because of this statement, the field invnr is displaying in only 20 chars & the last two chars of the field invnr are not getting displayed.
I want to display all 22 chars for field invnr.
How can I increase the output length for this field.
Please help.

Means displaying INVNR field at 030th position with 20 chars width. To increase the width you just give 022 instead of 020 like below.
write 030(022) anlav-invnr
Thanks

Restricting Length of Output in Smartforms

Hi All,
I am trying to restrict the lenght of an output to just show nine numbers, decimal point and then two numbers.
I have tried &GV_VAL(9.2)& but I am getting an error back. Is there anyway I can do this??
Many thanks,
Points awarded,
Colm

Hi,
Before display GV_VAL, change the type whatever you want using code option. I mean create a new variable with data type of 9.2 length and move GV_VAL to this variable and display that variable &variable&.

Query length input-output

Hi everybody,
I have two doubts:
1)     Has oracle a limit to the length of the query? (number of characters)
2)     Has oracle a limit in the length of the output of a query? (number of characters)
I ask these things because I have a long query (about 1500 characters) and the output should be formed by 1300 characters per row.
Are there problem in the output of sqlplus?
Another question if I wanted the previous output in XML format how can I make? Has oracle something to do this last thing?
I am using oracle 10g.
Thanks, bye bye.

1. Here is the text from the [Oracle Database Limits Reference|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/limits003.htm#i288032]:
[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/limits003.htm#i288032]{code}2. I do not believe Oracle has as limit on the output of the program. I think this is the responsibility of the calling program, in this case SQL*Plus. As far as SQL*Plus limiting characters I believe it can/does depending on data type. I recommend you read the [SQLPlus Users Guide and Reference|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/toc.htm], specifically, Chapter 6 "Formatting SQL*Plus Reports."
3. As far as XML, you should read the [XML DB Developers Guide|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14259/toc.htm], specifically Chapter 3
I hope this helps!

DESEncrypt Function don't work with any charakter

Hi!
I wrote a function to encrypt data using the DESEncrypt function:
Create or replace function verschluessel (input_str varchar2,key_string varchar2) return RAW as
input_string varchar2 (4000);
encrypted_string varchar2(4000);
raw_input RAW(4000);
raw_key RAW(128) := UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_RAW(key_string);
encrypted_raw RAW(4000);
test smallint := 8 - mod(length(input_str),8);
ergaenz varchar2(7);
begin
loop
if test = 0 OR test = 8 then
exit;
end if;
ergaenz := ergaenz || ' ';
test := test - 1;
end loop;
input_string := input_str || ergaenz;
raw_input := UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_RAW(input_string);
dbms_obfuscation_toolkit.DESEncrypt(input => raw_input,key => raw_key,
encrypted_data => encrypted_raw);
return encrypted_raw;
end verschluessel;
The problem is, if the input_string contains german umlaute or special french characters, the error message ORA-28232 "Invalid input size for Obfuscation toolkit" appears.
How can I solve that ?
Thanx Andri.

DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT

Why is the result of a call to DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT.DESEncrypt not consistent.
I try to exchange encrypted data between different instances of Oracle and the encrypted output is not the same.
Are there differences from version to version of Oracle or is there some kind of parameter setting (seed) that I'm not aware of.
Best regards
-pELLE

You might try posting this to the Products | Database | SQL and PL/SQL forum. The folks over there are generally going to be more familiar with this sort of database programming issue.
A couple of questions, though, in addition to Carlos's point about making sure the same key is being used...
- Are you storing the encrypted data in RAW columns? Or in VARCHAR2 columns?
- Are your database character sets identical?

I am not sure I understand what problem you are having in passing output to the method. However, I'll guess:
If you want to pass output to Display_Temperatures() then:
1. change Display_Temperatures to accept a String
2. move display code from main to Display_Temperatures.
3. pass output to Display_Temperatures()
Display_Temperatures(output)If you want to do all the calculations also in Display_Temperatures:
1. change Display_Temperatures to accept only 1 arg - int[]
2. move all the calculations & display code from main to Display_Temperatures
3. pass Hourly_Temperatures to Display_Temperatures()
Display_Temperatures(Hourly_Temperatures)If you make these changes then you will encounter some compilation errors. Post them here only after you've first tried to understand and fix them.
If it is something else you want to do, then you will have to explain it better; at least I've not understood your problem.
The naming standards that almost all jave professionals follow is:
1. not to use underscore char ( _ ) in method names; so Display_Temperatures shd be DisplayTemperatures
2. var names don't have _ char within the name and begin with a lower case; so Hourly_Temperatures shd be hourlyTemperatures
It is generally a good practice to create an instance of the class in the main() method and write the process code in the instance methods instead of putting all that code in main() itself. Read the [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/]tutorials for this starting from the "Your First Cup of Java".

Information about package sys.dbms_obfuscation_toolkit

While using this package procedure DesEncrypt , we are facing error i.e
too many declarations of 'DesEncrypt ' match this call......
According to me, overloading of procedure has been performed based on datatypes of same family(i.e varchar2 and raw), which to me is not correct.
Please suggest how to resolve this problem.
Please give this work as urgent priority.

You will need to use named notation (reference the parameter names in the call) instead of the normal positional notation because of the implicit conversions possible between varchar2 and raw.

Mapping multiple Segments to one output

Hi,
The issue is that I have a segment which would be a text type that contains multiple segments, each segment would contain a line of text.
The issue is that the output is only the last segment of text. I want to be able to concatenate all of the lines into one.
I feel I need to use a UDF but not quite sure how to do the mapping.

I think you should try with this udf ... let's say your source segments are as shown below
<A1>
   <E1>a</E1>
   <E2>b</E2>
   <E3>c</E3>
</A1>
<A1>
   <E1>1</E1>
   <E2>2</E2>
   <E3>3</E3>
</A1>
And let's say expected output is a,b,c,1,2,3
Create the UDF and set the Cache to Queue. While mapping the source fields to UDF set the context to very top node (or use RemoveContext after each source field).
String output = " ";
for( int i = 0; i< A1.length; i++ )
output = output+ E1<i> + "," + E2<i> + "," + E3<i>;         //Concatenation of fields.
/*if ( i !=A1.length - 1 )
output = output + ";" ;         //Concatenation of semicolon.

How to get the length of a field.

Hi all,
I m working on dynamic internal table.There is a need to get the length of a field, filled dynamically.How can we get it.
Thanks in advance.

Swati garg

Swati,
DATA: text(8) TYPE c,
      len TYPE i.
DESCRIBE FIELD text LENGTH len IN CHARACTER MODE.
Field LEN contains the value 8.
================================
For ouput length :
DATA: float TYPE f,
      out TYPE i,
      len TYPE i.
DESCRIBE FIELD float LENGTH len OUTPUT-LENGTH out.
This example results in the field LEN containing the value 8, while the field OUT contains the value 22.
Don't forget to reward if useful.....

DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT.DESEncrypt ... length of output ?
