How to get the correct length...removing appended extra ascii characters

I have a table fs_lg_partgroups, having the columns description,subgroupname.
I have a query like this..
select description,length(description) from fs_lg_partgroups where subgroupname='FORMULA226';
Then i got the output as
formula226 and the length is 42. Even though there are 10 characters only.
I came to know that some ascii characters are appended to description values, so it is showing the length like this.
But i don't know how to remove those ASCII characters from description column for all rows to get the exact length.
Please can u help me..

If you have used char data type then use varchar2 datatype instead of char datatype for description column.
Learn about char and varchar2 datatypes here.

  • How to get the correct size of the loaded swf file?

    final public class main extends Sprite
      public function main()
       loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, _onLoadCompleted);
      private function _onLoadCompleted(event: Event): void
       var tw: int = stage.width;
       var th: int = stage.height;
       var tsw: int = stage.stageWidth;
       var tsh: int = stage.stageHeight;   
    Above is my simple as3 project in flex builder 3.
    My screen resolution is 1920*1080, when debugging, the swf is stretched to the full client area of the IE, but the stage.stageWidth is 500 and the stage.stageHeight is 375, both the stage.widht and stage.height are 0, who can tell me why and how to get the right size of the swf file, named the client area size of the IE in this situation?
    Thanks very much!

    The HTML wrapper might resize the SWF later, so wait a frame and check stageWidth/stageHeight again.

  • How to get the time length from send record command to record video really?

    I have two buttons. Record/Stop

  • How to get the real length of a 3D room

    Hi, I want to built a 3d room. When I import a obj file, the vector3f length does not equal to the real length(much longer than the real one), I know there must be relation between them, but how I can get the relation?
    for example:
    T3Droom.setTranslation(new Vector3f(0.7f,1f,0.5f));
    How many metres the 0.7f equals to?

  • How to get the corract accrual for OID: Bonds Premium&Discount amortization

    Hi
    I would like to know if somebody knows how to get the correct accrual values for the OID amounts. As you know is easy to get the correct position flows for the base amount, the discount and the monthly interest for each paid but I cant get the correct amortization for the discount. Following the FAS91, the correct amortization for this discount (OID) is getting the calculation of the effective interest amount with base: Total amount minus the effective interest amount with base incluying the discount of it.
    I hope one of you knows how to do it.

  • How to get the string's byte length?

    I have some string,I want to get the string's byte length,how
    can do it?
    for example:
    <cfoutput>#len('hihi,这是测试')#</cfoutput>
    output is 9
    I want to get the byte length is 14, how can i get it?
    Thanks.

    >> Fair cop. I didn't realise that asc() returned the

    >
    > and what would be the difference?
    Oh, sorry, whatever the term is (I'm crap with jargon). The
    value returned
    by asc() for those chars was only two bytes (ie: four hex
    digits). I
    didn't realise there was more to it than that, and that
    2-byte value maps
    to some other THREE byte value. I need to do some reading...
    > that's what both cf & java counted as the length.
    CHARACTER length, sure. No-one's disputing that. On the other
    hand,
    no-one's asking about it, either.
    > by adding a BOM you've already effected the encoding,
    which may or may not
    > match the original. so you still don't know how many
    bytes were in the original
    > string.
    [groan]
    Yes, that's a reasonable strawman there. I was only putting
    it in a file
    so I could save it and check the number of bytes occupied by
    the data.
    Clearly... CLEARLY... the OP is not asking for a character
    length of that
    string. They've said as much.
    I copy and pasted the string from their post, and used it as
    a
    demonstration of how "nine" is not the right answer for the
    BYTE LENGTH of
    that string. Whether or not the original string was UTF-8,
    UTF-16 or
    special-marmoset-encoding, it almost certainly was NOT in a
    fictitious kind
    encoding in which each of those particular characters only
    occupied one
    byte each, which would mean that "nine" is the correct answer
    to the
    question.
    When I copied those characters from either the web browser
    for from my
    text-based news agent, notepad identified them (and rendered
    them
    correctly) as UTF-8, so I'm fairly confident they ARE UTF-8.
    Of course
    this could be down to some intermediary encoding (pasting
    them in to the
    original posting, for example, via some encoding-transforming
    mechanism),
    but Occam's Razor suggests the original question was from a
    UTF-8 POV.
    But maybe we should quit speculating and ask the OP. Unless
    they've
    buggered off in despair of how drawn out all this is getting.
    For which I
    would not blame them.
