How do I represent TextArea in Oracle

Hi All,
In Oracle SQL, VARCHAR2 is a popular type for textfield. But, for a textarea with rows="5" and columns="45", what type should I create it as? Is it still VARCHAR2(45) or something else?
TIA,
Mark

I'd still use a VARCHAR2 for a textarea. For 5x45, just make the varchar2(225) (aka 5 times 45).
Take Care,
Rob

  • How to wrap a view in oracle

    Does any one know how to wrap a view in Oracle, I know it is not possible, yet. Are there any third party software to wrap the logic in the view.
    Thanks,
    Sanjay

    Your best bet is to write a view that queries the source tables and contains any necessary business logic
    CREATE VIEW VBASE AS SELECT A.COLUMN_A FROM TABLE_1 A, TABLE_2 B, TABLE_3 C WHERE A.ID = B.ID AND B.ID = C.ID;
    create a view for exposure to the user that queries the base view.
    CREATE VIEW VSECURE AS SELECT COLUMN_B FROM VBASE;
    and grant privileges to VSECURE.
    GRANT SELECT ON VSECURE TO SECURE_USER;
    This will allow the user to see, query, and describe VSECURE without seeing the definition for VBASE.
    The advantage of the this approach is that the query engine can still push predicates down into the base view to optimize the performance or the query where as this is limited with the pipeline function and can become a tuning headache.

  • How can I code this in Oracle Forms?

    I have a master-detail form. In the detail block, I have several records. Here is my name table.
    ID Name_Type Name
    1 old Mike
    2 Current John
    3 old Peter
    4 old Andrew
    I would like to create a button trigger which shall perform the following:
    1) insert a record into database with a copy of current value. In the above case it will insert create a record for John as name_type = 'OLD'. So we have total of 5 records. Commit the transaction.
    2) Scroll through my detail records (5) and go to one specific record and erase the values from it. In the above case, it should find John's record with name_type = 'Current' and erase John from it.
    How can I accomplish this in Oracle forms using a button-pressed trigger?

    Hi,
    Simple, using current values you can create new id , 'old' and name so oracle will create record, now refresh block, next using next_record in loop you can find record,erase one and refresh block.

    Hi,
    We can use the 'hr_user_acct_internal.create_fnd_user' API to create the users. The sample code is as follows:
    BEGIN
    apps.hr_user_acct_internal.create_fnd_user
    (p_user_name => 'XXX',
    p_password => 'XXX',
    p_employee_id => 1234(This is the person id from per_all_people_f),
    p_user_id => x_user_id,
    p_user_start_date => SYSDATE,
    p_email_address => 'XXX',
    p_description => 'XXX',
    p_password_date => NULL
    COMMIT;
    END;
    and to add the responsibility to the user, we can use the following code.
    BEGIN
    fnd_user_pkg.addresp
    (username => 'XXX',
    resp_app => user_res_rec.application_short_name,
    resp_key => user_res_rec.responsibility_key,
    security_group => 'STANDARD',
    description => 'DESCRIPTION',
    start_date => SYSDATE,
    end_date => NULL
