How to change field size using SQL against an oracle Database

I am an admitted novice user, looking to become more proficient.
I have a field in a table that I need to expand the field size. The table is called Inquiries. The data type is text. The current Field Size is 10. I want to increase it, to either the max, or somethign long enough to fit TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP PROGRAM.
What is the SQL command to change the field size, and what is the max for a Text Field Size

And/Or, an even better question might be,
Do I need to use SQL*PLUS to do this, or are there better tools. I.e, I like how in Access, you can open up a database in Design view and just change the amount for the field size. Is there a similar "easy" method to do something like that with an Oracle database.
My current version of the server/database is:
Connected to:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.6.0 - Production
With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 9.2.0.6.0 - Production
I was thinking I had to do SQL commands to perform the action, but there may be another way that I am not thinking about with all of the tools at my disposal. When I installed Oracle on my desktop, I installed most of the management tools and networking services, if that helps

    yes you are right but what can i do as per my understanding about the below statement is that i should crerate DSS instead of gernal purpose database plz help what can i do now
    From Bug 5141453, development indicates that DB_BLOCK_SIZE cannot be changed for the General Purpose, Transaction Procession and DataWarehouse templates as the seed database is using 8k block size.
    You should create a custom database to get a different block size.

  • Hello ! how to change document sizes and use our own size (not A3, A2 ...) thank you !

    hello ! how to change document sizes and use our own size (not A3, A2 ...) thank you !

    Experiment. No harm in trying.
    If you are just starting to use Pages you need to make your own assessment given current events whether committing your work to a format and software given this support is a wise move.
    You also need to look at what will produce workable results. Particularly if your large posters are to be commercially printed and contain large bitmap (photographic) images.
    Always work backwards from your output. Ask your printer what they require to do their job.

  • How to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?

    hi All
    That's great when using SQL Dev.
    But I also have a trouble that how to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?
    My users think that font in result screen is shown very small, and whenever the data in each colum is long then it's not shown full data in column, they must double click for extend the size. Have the option to default the max size for showing full data in each column ? I try but still not to do that .
    Appreciate for anyone to help us.
    Thanks all.
    Sigmasvn

    You can't change the font for the results screen yet, however you will be able to select an auto-fit option for selected columns, so if some columns have slitghtly wider text you'll be able to set the column widths to handle these wider columns.
    Also, there s the option of switching the layout of a record in the grid.

  • In SAP 4.6c In classical reports output how to change Font size and Font type

    Dear Experts,
    In SAP 4.6c, in classical and interactive reports  output how to change font size and font type.
    Regards,
    Zaker.

    These are HTML formatting questions. Nothing to do with the Oracle SQL and PL/SQL languages.
    With old-style HTML, the font size and family are set using the font tag.
    With modern style HTML, that is done using cascading style sheets (CSS).
    Your favourite search engine will turn up tons of information on both.

    how to change font size on screen

    I'm not certain what font sizes you wish to change, when on a page you can use command and the += button to zoom in and make the fonts larger. On the finder desktop you can make what ever is on the desktop larger or smaller from the finder menu click view, custom view options, and adjust the icon size with the slider on the top, and the text using the text size box to select the size that your comfortable with.
    Forgot to add these.

  • How to change font size in textarea?

    how to change font size in textarea?

    to embed a font using actionscript requires adding the font to your library.  to do that, click the upper right of your library panel, click "new font..", select the font you want and click ok.  find the added font in your library, right click, click properties and tick "export for actionscript" (click the actionscript tab if you don't see that option, at first).  assign a class name (eg, WhateverFont).  you can then use:
    var tfor:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    tfor.size=22;
    var yourfont:Font=new WhateverFont();
    tfor.font = yourfont.fontName;
    ta.setStyle("embedFonts",true);
    ta.setStyle("textFormat",tfor);

    HI,
    In order to change the size of a radio button... one way you may consider is to Customise the Radio Button.
    Place a Radio Button (RB) on the FP of a VI, Right-Click the RB > Advanced > Customise...
    Click the Mode Button (most Left button) for Edit Mode
    Right-click the radio button (the round image) now, you will see a list of actions i.e. Copy to clipboard, import picture ...You will see Four images under the 'Picture Item', those are the images that you will need to replace.
    Prepare Four Images of the similar but larger expected size
    *** Copy the 1st new image to clipboard. Back to the Picture Item and select 1st image. Then, select Import Picture (to replace the existing image)
    Repeat *** for all four images.
    Once done, change the mode back to original. Save the *.ctl
    You are now ready to use the customised radio button!
    Quick sample attached (sorry for the poor images created )
