Greater than 4000 characters in OBIEE 11g

Dear all,
I have a table, just one column.
In Analysis, I designed a table with this column content the data as text greater than 4000 characters.
Can I show all of them in OBIEE ?
Can I change the column datatype?
Anyone help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks and Regards,
David,...

I guess you will have problem displying them in OBIEE since (The data type would be long);
You can not use long datatype column in below cases;
1. A value of datatype LONG was used in a function or in a DISTINCT, WHERE, CONNECT BY, GROUP BY, or ORDER BY clause. A LONG value can only be used in a SELECT clause
2. It can not be used in expressions or conditions
3. It can not be used in select lists of subqueries or queries combined by set operators
Make sure your generated query is not doing the above things. First thing Distinct will come in the obiee queries by default. Try to avoid distinct,group by,order by in your reports. Direct database request for the report can help you in this case.
Mark Correct if it helps.

How to Handle the Strings more than 4000 characters in OBIEE 11g

Hi Folks,
I have a derived column in RPD where there are like bunch of case statements which involve the columns from 2 or more dimensions. Now I am getting an error ORA-01489: result of string concatenation is too long at OCI call OCIStmtFetch.
How can we handle this in OBIEE? I have tried the below option that is provided in the below link but I think this work only if it is a single column but in my case it is derived column.
Please suggest.
Thanks,

About JDBC CALL STORE PROCEDURE with out parameter is greater than 4000

Hi Guys,
I have a problem call store procedure with a large string.
as i know varchar2 can contain 32767 characters in pl/sql .
But when i used varchar2 as a out parameter in a store procedure, if the out parameter is greater than 4000 characters , it always give me error message as 'the buffer is too small'.
why it happened?
I read some article that says i need configure a property in data-source.xml , and jdbc 10g driver already solved this problem, but i used jdev 10.1.3.2 ,the driver should be fine.
How can i solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,

Object is Foundation, Execute Script
This is for a query, you can change to a stored procedure call. Pull the value back in the Java code then put into the process variable.
import javax.naming.InitialContext;

PreparedStatement stmt = null;
Connection conn = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
try {
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();

conn = ds.getConnection();
stmt = conn.prepareStatement("select FUBAR from TB_PT_FUBAR where PROCESS_INSTANCE_ID=?");
stmt.setLong(1, patExecContext.getProcessDataLongValue("/process_data/@inputID"));

rs.next();
patExecContext.setProcessDataStringValue("/process_data/outData", rs.getString(1));

Parameter longer than 4000 characters

The java layer calls a EXEC_DDL stored proc that does a EXECUTE IMMEDIATE on the VARCHAR2 parameter string passed in. SInce the java layer is passing more than 4000 characters DDL statement we get an error about cannot bind long ..... What datatype should I use as a parameter instead of VARCHAR2 inside the EXEC_DDL stored proc. Steven Feuerstein advises against using LONG in his PL/SQL book. All the LOB types are for objects either INSIDE or OUTSIDE of the database but I just want the java code to be able to pass a DDL string greater than 4000 chars. I want to use the simplest approach.
Thanks in anticipation

a SUBSTR or a DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR works. This is the final working version of the EXEC_DDL proc. We used the DBMS_LOB package in case we needed to overload with other types of LOB parameters.
procedure exec_ddl (
pi_ddl_string IN CLOB
,po_status OUT PLS_INTEGER
AS
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
-- AUTHID CURRENT_USER will be added after exception handling is packaged
v_clob_buff VARCHAR2(500);
BEGIN -- outer block
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE pi_ddl_string;
po_status := PKG_SNAPIT.pk_success;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
v_clob_buff := DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR(pi_ddl_string,500,1);
insert into exception_log values(sysdate,'COMPILE ERROR IN : ' || v_clob_buff,'pkg_dynamic_sql'
,'exec_ddl');
COMMIT;
pkg_snapit.Log_Errors ( 'Error_Stack...' || Chr(10) || DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_STACK() );
pkg_snapit.Log_Errors ( 'Error_Backtrace...' || Chr(10) || DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE() );
po_status := SQLCODE;
RAISE;
END exec_ddl;

How can a function returning character length greater than 4000 be selected in SQL

Hi,
I want to know if there is a way to write a select query on a function call which returns a varchar of more than 4000 characters.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION FUNC1
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
str VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
str := <some string greater than 4000 char>;
RETURN str;
END;
SELECT FUNC1 from dual; ---- This gives an PL/SQL numeric or value error. Character string buffer too small.
Is there any way to resolve this?
Thanks

32767 is not default. The default is still 4000 for VARCHAR2. You need to set the initialization parameter MAX_STRING_SIZE= EXTENDED for 32767.
Text from Oracle documentation
Extended Data Types
Beginning with Oracle Database 12c, you can specify a maximum size of 32767 bytes for the VARCHAR2, NVARCHAR2, and RAW data types. You can control whether your database supports this new maximum size by setting the initialization parameter MAX_STRING_SIZE as follows:
If MAX_STRING_SIZE = STANDARD, then the size limits for releases prior to Oracle Database 12c apply: 4000 bytes for the VARCHAR2 and NVARCHAR2 data types, and 2000 bytes for the RAW data type. This is the default.
If MAX_STRING_SIZE = EXTENDED, then the size limit is 32767 bytes for the VARCHAR2, NVARCHAR2, and RAW data types.

Owa_text.vc_arr: can't handle the string with more than 4000 characters?

In the Oracel Web Application Server 4.0 documment, it says
about owa_text.vc_arr :Type vc_arr is table of varchar2(32767)
index by binary_integer.
I amusing PL_SQL with Oracle8i and OWA4.0 web server.I want to
use owa_text.vc_arr to pass the multple line texts in my form.
If the text length is less than 4000 characters, everything works
fine.However when the texts are longer than 4000 characters but
less than the max length 32767 characters, I got this error
message:
OWS-05101: Execution failed due to Oracle error 2005
ORA-02005: implicit (-1) length not valid for this bind or define
datatype.
Owa_text.vc_arr is supposed to handle the string with more
than 4000 characters, is it true? Could anyone tell me why? Any
help will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks very much.

Here is the pl_sql procedure to create my form:

htp.p(len);
htp.p(tdescription(i));
end loop;
end;

Helena, I think you might get a better response either from the SQL-PL/SQL forum, or perhaps the Portal Applications forum - both of these tend to have folks very familiar with PL/SQL and the OWA packages.
This forum is on Web services based on SOAP, WSDL and UDDI. These can be PL/SQL based but typically don't use the mod_psql or OWA web solution.
As a pointer, I suspect you may already be familiar with, but just in case, you can always take a look at chapter 3 of the OAS documentation, "Developer's Guide: PL/SQL and ODBC Applications" where they go through a number of examples using parameters. See:
http://technet.oracle.com/doc/appsrvr4082/guides/plsql.pdf
Hope this or folks from the other list can help.
Mike.

Why can't owa_text.vc_arr handle the string with more than 4000 characters?

I am using PL_SQL with Oracle8i and OAS 4.0 web server.I want to
use owa_text.vc_arr to pass the inputs in serval text areas in the form on a web application.
If the input string length is less than 4000 characters, everything works fine.However when the strings are longer than 4000 characters but less than the max length 32767 characters, I got this error message:
OWS-05101: Execution failed due to Oracle error 2005
ORA-02005: implicit (-1) length not valid for this bind or define datatype.
In the Oracle Application Server 4.0 documment, it says
about owa_text.vc_arr :Type vc_arr is table of varchar2(32767)
index by binary_integer. It means that owa_text.vc_arr can handle multiple strings and each string can have up to 32767 single byte characters, is it right?
Owa_text.vc_arr is supposed to handle the string with more
than 4000 characters, is it true? Could anyone tell me why? Any
help will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks very much.

The maximum size of a VARCHAR2 field in Oracle 8i is 4000 bytes.
you'll ned to use a LOB type (or LONG if you prefer the old way)

Any way to create tablespace with name greater than 30 characters ?

Is there any way to create tablespace greater than 30 characters on solaris 10 and Oracle 10g. Any way ? because i have no other option.

desc dba_tablespaces
So clearly the answer is NO.
Tablespace names are invisible and irrelevant. Why the question?

Cannot insert more than 4000 characters using PL/SQL SP to LONG columns

I have created a stored procedure which will insert more than 4000 characters in a table having long column.

You don't have a 'long string'. You have a lot of single-quoted strings combined with some unquoted strings.
There are embedded singel quotes in what you call 'this long string'.
Try using a different string delimiter so that the quotes do not cause a problem.
You can use an exclamation point ('!') since there is none in the text you provided.
Here is an example of what will not work because there is one embedded single quote
'name LIKE '%DBMS_%%'This is the same value using exclamation as the delimiter - this works because there is no exclamation in the string
q'!name LIKE '%DBMS_%%'!'1. q must be the first character
2. ' (single quote) must be the next character
3. ! (or any delimiter you choose) is the next character
4. abcdefg. . . -- this is your string that can include single quotes but not an exclamation point
5. ! is the next to last character - must be the same delimiter used as the third character
6. ' (single quote) is the last character
See the 'Text Literals' section of the SQL Reference for more examples
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/sql_elements003.htm
Note that this one will not work because the string includes the percent
This is the same value using exclamation as the delimiter - this works because there is no exclamation in the string
q'%name LIKE '%DBMS_%%'%'

Column with more than 4000 characters

Hi,
Version: 10.2.0.4.0
I have a requirement to display more than 4000 characters (clob, long data type) through sql.
Though this can be achieved through pl/sql, I am not able to get the output in sql statements. Is it possible to get this done through sql?
I can use intermediate pl/sql processing if needed.
Thanks for your help.

Displaying more than 4000 characters

Hi
I have a report which would display a CLOB field having text of length around 32000 characters.
I tried to use DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR(<field_name>,32000,1) on the query so that it shows the text at least till 32000 characters on the report but it keeps returning an error ORA-06502 PL/SQL: numeric or value error string - character string buffer too small whenever it is more than 4000 characters in that particular field.
Can anyone pls suggest any solution ASAP?
Thanks
Arnab

Insert more than 4000 characters using sql plus

I have a SQL script that creates a database. The problem is that some of the fields are longer than 4000 characters in the INSERT statement and Oracle doesn't seem to like it.
The field is a clob and works fine in the application (i.e. I can insert more than 4000 characters using the app) - how do I achieve this in a SQL script?
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers,
Steve

Hi,
This pl/sql block works absolutely fine in SQL*Plus inserting > 4000 characters into clob column:
declare
l_str varchar2(8000);
l_str1 varchar2(2400) := 'first part of the verly long string...';
l_str2 varchar2(2400) := 'second part of the verly long string...';
begin
l_str := l_str1 || l_str2;
insert into tmpl values (l_str);
end;
So, you'll have to replace inserts with pl/sql blocks in your script.
Tested in Oracle 8.1.7.0.0

How do you show usernames greater than 8 characters in /usr/ucb/ps ?

Help!
I am trying to write a process kill script, or rather, modify our linux ones for solaris. The problem is a catch-22 :
a) the string I need to grep for is hidden way up the
command string hence I cannot use 'ps', I need to
use /usr/ucb/ps -auxww .
b) some usernames are greater than 8 characters...
Now this is fine with ps -U command, as this will
correctly match a 9-character username. However
/usr/ucb/ps does not seem to have this option; you
can provide an extra option to get user info to display
in the output under a column heading however this
username is truncated at 8 characers. The
standard username field in both versions of the
ps command is truncated at 8 characters.
how do I grep for my deeply-hidden string and a
9-digin username ?
is there any way to do this in a single command?
I can maybe script this, do a ps -U on the user,
awk the PID out the results, use /usr/ucb/ps and
grep on the PID and the user string ... wondered
if I've missed an option and this can be done by
a single command rather than a script ?
thanks!
