DESCRIBE command

Hi
I am using oracle 10g and facing this problem. I want to overcome this problem.
desc empName Null? Type
empno not null number
The name column is too long so that I have to move a cursor long time to right side.
what changes should i made to display my describe table command to look like as follows: Permantely
desc empName Null? Type
empno not null number
Thnx.

Unfortunately this is a limitation of SQL*Plus - DESCRIBE helpfully expands to fit linesize which it presumably thinks you have set to match your terminal, even though
1. You may have set a larger linesize to fit a wide report, and
2. Since we are not restricted to 80 character dumb terminals any more we often use a much larger size
and DESC output becomes hard to read.
I'm not aware of any settings that allow you to adjust DESC output width independently of LINESIZE (the manual says "To control the width of the data displayed, use the SET LINESIZE command.")
I use a script called desc.sql which contains:
set term off
store set sqlplus_settings.sql replace
set lines 80 term on
set define "&"
desc &1
undef 1
set term off
@sqlplus_settings.sql
host del sqlplus_settings.sql
set term on(Windows version - adjust for *nix.)

  • Alternative of Describe command in DB2 Database

    Ur help id highly appreciated & expected too.
    Thanks

    hi,
    I wonder what kind of logic makes you ask a DB2 question on the Oracle Database General Forum.
    I strongly suggest you to try on a DB2 forum.
    or try to get lucky here:
    http://www.google.be/search?hl=en&q=DB2+describe+tables&btnG=Search&meta=
    The first hits looks very good for me

  • Exporting Describe command output.

    I am doing data dictionaries for our small dept database. About 40 tables and 1000 variables. I will be doing this on Excel. The columns that I will be using are:
    Name | Description | Var type | Null?| Label | Constrains
    as you can see some of those are the output of the Describe command so to make my life easier, does anyone know how to put that into Excel? at least whatever is possible, the rest, I will have to type manualy unless someone has any suggestions?
    by the way, I can borrow ER/Studio, Rapid SQL, DBArtisan or TOAD (in case someone knows how to do this with those tools.
    thanks so much guys

    The problem with staying with DVCProHD is that that codec may not be available at the post house.
    You don't need millions+ because there aren't any alpha channels.
    Might want to consider 8-bit uncompressed, but the files will be huge
    But talk first to the post house. If they can CC DVCProHD, stay with it.
    Or ask what it prefers.
    As to the questions, I believe it's codecs. And the HVX200 does shoot anamorphic.
    The files are actually 1280x720. it's a matter of square vs rectangular pixels

  • SQL describe command not running in JSP

    Hello All,
    i hope u all will be enjoying ur lives :)
    i have a problem that when i run the SQL describe command it gives me the error that Invalid SQL Statement...
    the command syntax is
    desc tablename; OR describe tablename;
    and i am doing it like that
    ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("describe CF");
    where CF is the name of table..
    actually what i want to do is get the columns and its datatypes dynamically.. means that i want i get all the tables first from database then whichever table i select i can display its records and also add delete and modify the records...
    if anyone have already code of this ..please email me at
    [email protected]
    i will be very very thank ful for that..
    otherwise tell me the solution of the above problem :(
    thanx in advance
    RANA

    You can get all the information about the table using the meta data. Run a dummy query (I don't think it even needs to return any results), and then grab the meta data
    from the result set:
    ResultSet rs = null;
    ResultSetMetaData rsmd;
    int numcolumns = 0;
    Vector field = new Vector();
    rs = statement.executeQuery( "select * from mytable where field='nevermatchme'");
    rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
    numcolumns = rsmd.getColumnCount();
    for ( int i = 1 ; i <= numcolumns ; i++ ) {
    field.add( rsmd.getColumnName(i) );
    You now have a Vector with one element per database field, each containing a String of that fields name. I believe it is also possible to get field
    type, etc also the MetaData.

  • EA2 : describe command doesn't work

    Hello,
    The command describe (F4 ou right click + describe) doesn't work with the sql developer ea2 version.

    Note that there is a difference between v$session and v_$session.
    Running as a user with DBA role against 9.2.0.8,10.1.0.5 and 10.2.0.2 gives identical results
    F4 on v$session gives empty results. The results windows is headed v_$session.
    F4 on v_$session gives No object found: v_$session.
    F4 on sys.v_$session gives No object found: sys.v_$session.
    desc v$session in a worksheet gives a full listing
    desc v_$session in a worksheet gives ERROR: object v_$session doesn not exist.
    desc sys.v_$session gives a full listing.
    Using SQL Plus gives the same results as the worksheet desc. This is correct. There is no synonym for v_$session so you can't see it without a schema qualifier.

  • Describe command problem

    Hi,
    I need to know the structure of a table in a Java program, I try to do this by executing the query "describe tablename", but it shows me the error: ORA 00900 invalid SQL statement. This is the code:
    Connection conn = null;
    Statement st = null;
    ResultSet rs = null;
    ResultSetMetaData rsmd = null;
    String msg = "";
    try {
    conn = Conexion.getODS().getConnection(getUsr(), getPwd());
    st = conn.createStatement();
    rs = st.executeQuery("DESCRIBE empleados");
    while(rs.next()){
    msg += "<br>" + rs.getString(1);
    st.close();
    conn.close();
    catch( SQLException e ) {
    null

    right. "Describe' is an Oracle SQL-PLUS command, which it
    internall alters to some calls it sends to the DBMS to get
    the data it displays. "Describe" is not a Java/JDBC call, and
    the DBMS itself also knows nothing about it. In java you
    should get a DatabaseMetaData object form your connection,
    and make some of it's method calls to get the information
    you need.

  • Describe Command error

    Hi all,
    I've a P4/2.8ghz ht /512MB ram / 80 gb machine running on windows XP prof with service pack2 .
    When i start oracle 9i sqlplusw and type the command describe emp twice i get a memory read error and sqlpus crashes.. would do i resolve or identity the problem.
    regards
    Charles

    What happens if you run something else like for e.g. select or any dml statement. If the problem exists with any sqlplus operation then i would reccommend reinstalling oracle binaries. Also check your other applications. If there is no problem with them, that means its not a resource problem and there is some problem with your oracle binaries. All the best.

  • Oracle Describe Statement and CGI

    Hello,
    First of all,
    I would like to thank everyone that helped me out. It really
    made my much easier.
    Second,
    General Question.
    describe command in Oracle will display a specified table's
    definition.
    Now, I have a CGI program that will execute any SQL statement
    that has to do with tables on Oracle Database.
    i.e. select , update, insert, delete. Now when I tried
    describe student, i got an error (in httpd error log file:
    "invalid SQL statement". why?
    here is a code from my program,
    assuming: $fields{'sqlString'} = describe student
    $sth = $dbh->prepare($fields{'sqlString'})
    $sth->execute;
    Thanks Alex

    : "describe" is a SQL*Plus command, not a SQL command. Other
    : SQL*Plus commands are column, spool, ttitle, etc...
    : If the Oracle user by which you execute the CGI above has
    access
    : to the data dictionary, you can issue the following command:
    : SELECT column_name, nullable, data_type, data_length

    Thanks, that helps.
    Speaking of permissions. How do i set permissions for a user?
    acctually add user? for testing my CGI i am using orcl database
    with scott/tiger permissions. How do i view user's permissions?
    Also, I have this weird problem. Well I know the anser to it,
    but i need a way to go around it. Here it goes.
    Assuming following:
    alextable = (fname char (20), lname char(20))
    If I do the following from within SQL/Plus
    insert into alextable values('Alex','Was Here');
    then select * from alextable, i can see it. BUT if i do the same
    thing from CGI, I won't see, until i quit SQL/Plus. But if i
    issue the same command from CGI script and then do "select"
    statement, I will see the changes from SQL/Plus and CGI levels.
    I know that some databases use that as a "Rollback" feature.
    Is ther anyway to modify, maybe user permissions, or something
    else,so i would be able to see changes right away, no matter
    where i make them.
    thanks

  • List A Constraint For a Given Attribute In A Table - DESCRIBE?

    Hello,
    Given a real simple table that has a CONSTRAINT on one of the attributes, I'm trying to find out he NAME of the constraint so that I can alter it.

    HOTELNO NOT NULL NUMBER(6)

  • Sqlplus describe dumps core

    The describe command dumps core eg.
    SQL> describe help;
    Name Null? Type
    TOPIC NOT NULL VARCHAR2(50)
    SEQ NOT NULL NUMBER

    Same happens on v$license...

    Regards

    Seems linesize is the cause ie. linesize
    of 126 or greater causes the core dump.
    SQL> set linesize 125;
    SQL> describe dba_tables; /* works fine */
    SQL> set linesize 126;

  • [solved] Wrong display of fonts (all square boxes now)

    Hi!
    I tried Infinality  (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … Infinality) for font-hinting a few days / weeks ago. Everything worked fine until I recently did - like every day - a
    pacman -Syu
    since that update my Fonts are all Squares now. Only the real standard fonts (e.g. Bitstream Vera Sans) are displayed correctly now.
    Uploaded with ImageShack.us also tried already a
    # pacman -S --asdeps freetype2 libxft cairo fontconfig
    and I refreshed my font cache via
    $ fc-cache -vf
    I even followed the described command
    pango-querymodules > '/etc/pango/pango.modules'
    in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=51316.
    But none of the above mentioned worked. Would someone please be so kind and help me out?
    UPDATE: Meanwhile I tried a
    # pacman -Rscn gnome
    and reinstalled gnome & gnome-extra. But this doesn't work either, fonts like 'Verdana' aren't displayed correctly.
    UPDATE 2: After deleting my manual installed Windows 7 fonts and reloading the cache everything works fine now. I don't know why, but it works

    I fixed this by uninstalling gnome, all config files for pkg's removed, their dependencies, and all packages that depend on those - with the following command
    pacman -Rscn gnome
    This removed A LOT of packages.  Then I had to reinstall gnome and my fonts were once again readable. 
    Before anyone tells me how stupid I was for doing that, or how there may have been a simpler theoritical solution - realize that I use my computer for work daily.  I had made a few posts and wasn't getting the help I needed so I had to figure something out.  I tried removing gnome and all it's packages without the '-n' option (config files), but that didn't work.  So I reloaded gnome, then retried with the '-n' option and that did work.
    I googled this and apparently many other people had this problem with gnome (not Arch-specific), but nobody gave any workable solutions to any of them either.  Hopefully someone smarter than me can comment on the true cause of this, and maybe deduce a better solution - as I am sure some other poor sap will run into the same problem and surely come across this thread.
    I appreciate everyone's input on this, and hopefully someone will chime in here with a much simpler solution that wont cause as much trouble as it did for me.
    cheers.

  • How can I undestand at runtime witch column is primary key in a table

    Hello
    I write program at CBuilder and i have that problem:
    In runtime application takes a table (in deign time there are no information about the table) and i want to understand at runtime witch columns are primary keys (or part of it) and witch column(s) is foreign key?
    Should i look in meta data in database ?
    Please help

    Please helpI am afraid that this is not possible. There isn't anything which would reveal this detail to you at run time that which column(s) are a part of the referential constraints. This is not visible even in the description of the table(s) also using Describe command too. The only way would be to check the status of the table and its related constraints in the dictionaries, DBA_CONSTRAINTS or DBA_CONS_COLUMNS .

  • Request for UI improvments and some more

    Hello Raptor Development Team,
    Your product is really good, but there are some obvious UI lacks and some possible improvements (sorry, if these lacks/improvements have been pointed before):
    1. There shall be possibility to search a text of a function/procedure/package/... without switching into Edit mode.
    2. In SQL*Worksheet by parse error no info is provided in which position in the statement - line, column - error has occurred (even SQL*Plus provides similar info). As far as I can remember it is limitation of error-processing of Oracle JDBC thin driver, but it can quite easily be overcome but re-parsing the same failed statement inside PL/SQL block by means of DBMS_SQL package which provides such info (and it is relatively cheap, as statement has anyway failed on parse).
    3. In SQL*Worksheet it should be possible to obtain all properties of an object under cursor by means of hotkey/popup menu (likewise the functionality of F4 button in TOAD) and not only by separate "describe" command (which, anyway, provide quite limited info).
    4. Navigation in the left explorer-like panel is quite cumbersome, especially when working with schemas with big amount of objects. It would be nice, if alternative interface (e.g. tabbed a-la TOAD) will be provided. The problem may be alleviated as well by providing in the left panel speedbars that allows to quickly switch between different connections and between DB object types (tables, views, procedures,...) in the same connection.
    5. If named bind variable is used in SQL*Worksheet and single statement is executed the "Enter bind value:" dialog box is shown for each bind variable as many times as it occurs in the statement (with empty "Object Value" field and "Object type reset to Varchar2 each time). Looks strange and inconvenient as it provide no clue for which occurrence of the variable value is asked.
    6. If the same statement with bind variable(s) is re-executed many times or several statements that refer to same bind variable are sequentially executed in "single-statement" mode that it would be really nice if values will be retained between executions and prompted in "Object Value" field of "Enter bind value:" dialog box.
    7. The following PL/SQL block fails
    declare
    x char(10);
    y char(10);
    begin
    select :a, :b into x,y from dual;
    end;
    8. This is not directly related to Raptor, but :). Spell-check on this forum does not know following words that shall be very popular here: JDBC, Varchar2, F4 and so on
    Yours sincerely,
    Oleksandr Alesinskyy

    1. Has been mentioned before - we do have a bug on it. To search across all your pl/sql, there is a report you can use.
    2. We are working on improving errors but I can't make any promises.
    3. We have heard this before but it won't be there for v1.0. You can use the Connections navigator to access the details of the objects that are accessible to you while you have a Worksheet open. You can even drag your Worksheet tab down to place it under the Connections details tab so you can see them both at the same time.
    4. In a post-v1.0 release, we will be looking at additional, alternate navigation.
    5. We have an open bug to not prompt you for the same bind more than once.
    6. I will talk to the Worksheet developer about this one. Not sure we can remember the binds from execution to execution but it would be a great enhancement.
    7. Not sure why this is failing - I will check into it.
