Max column length

I will like to find out what is the MAX column length for nchar and nvarchar types using AL16UTF16.
As per the metalink article 'Examples and limits of BYTE and CHAR semantics usage' it is 1000 and 2000 for 2 bytes characters. But in Al16UTF16, characters can also take up to 4 bytes. So does that change the max limits.
Also what is MAX length for a Clob and NClob type

in Al16UTF16, characters can also take up to 4 bytes. No. One character (code point) is represented in 2 bytes. However, some characters are mapped to surrogate pair of code points, as pointed out by the Note "In AL16UTF16 this will use 2 UTF16 codepoints and so occupy 4 bytes.".
So the limits noted still applies. If you have logical characters mapped to more than one code point, more space will of course be required for storage.

How to retreive the max data length of a column

Hello All,
I know how to do a select to get the max data length of a column it is this :
SELECT MAX(LENGTH(COLUMN_NAME) FROM table.
However, I need this information combined with my SQL that returns the Data_type and length from the USER_TAB_COLUMNS. So taking the emp example if the ename column was 50 as VARCHAR2 but the max data entered in it was just 20 I want the information like this:
SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_LENGTH, and the Max length of 20
FROM USER_TAB_COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME='EMP';
I don't know how to get the Max Length of the Column in this table. Can anyone suggest me a hint? An Inline view maybe?
Thanks

Still not sure about your requirements, but how about this
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_max_length(p_table in varchar2, p_col in varchar2) return pls_integer
2 is
3    v_cnt pls_integer;
4 begin
5    execute immediate 'select max(length('||p_col||')) from '||p_table into v_cnt;
6    return v_cnt;
7 end get_max_length;
8 /
Function created.

SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY max query length

Is there a max query length for SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY?
I have the basis of a list working OK but when I tried to make the query more complex to meet the business requirement I am getting a
ORA-06550: line 1, column 845: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "end-of-file" when expecting one of the following: ;
I have tried to ensure that I have all the quotes strings working and the like.
Thanks
Mark

Mark,
How long is your query? The SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY function accepts the query as a varchar2, so it’s "limited" to 32767 characters.

DG4ODBC: STRING DATA, RIGHT TRUNCATION ERROR WHILE ACCESSING VARCHAR(MAX) COLUMN

Problem Summary
DG4ODBC: STRING DATA, RIGHT TRUNCATION ERROR WHILE ACCESSING VARCHAR(MAX) COLUMN
Driver
Microsoft® ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server® - RedHat Linux
Problem Description
When selecting a MS SQL VARCHAR (max) column over a ODBC Gateway database connection I am getting this error from Oracle:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server]String data, right truncation {01004}
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server]String data, right truncation {01004}
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server]String data, right truncation {01004}
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server]String data, right truncation {01004}
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server]String data, right truncation {01004}
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from <LINK_NAME>
The ODBC driver should map the varchar(max) column to SQL_LONGVARCHAR which would be appropriate for Oracle but the column is getting truncated
Issue
By default the SQL Server ODBC driver exposes the varchar(max) data type as a SQL_VARCHAR. When reporting the maximum size of a varchar(max) column, the driver returns 0, which is the Microsoft convention for "unlimited".
[ODBC][25518][1399527750.588980][SQLDescribeCol.c][497]
Exit:[SQL_SUCCESS]
Column Name = [raw_response]
Data Type = 0x7fffe3cbe1a4 -> 12
Column Size = 0x7fffe3cbe158 -> 0
Decimal Digits = 0x7fffe3cbe1ac -> 0
Nullable = 0x7fffe3cbe1b0 -> 1
DG4ODBC is unable to interpret a zero length as an "unlimited" size and returns an error when retrieving varchar(max) data.
FreeTDS and DataDirect ODBC drivers return SQL_LONGVARCHAR instead of SQL_VARCHAR with 0 precision. So there is no problem reported for these drivers.
Is there a fix for this or is the Microsoft ODBC driver team working on a fix for the driver regarding varchar(max)?

James

Re: [iPlanet-JATO] Finding the database column length

This is the technique I would recommend. If you'd like to wrap this
mechanism up in the model class itself, create a subclass of QueryModelBase
that provides such a method and use that as the base class for all your
QueryModels.

Chidu,
The result set that you get back is a JDBC ResultSet, not a "JATO" resultset. In ND, everything was wrapped in a "spider" data
structure, and therefore, difficult to get to the underlying datastructure, in many cases. In some case ND made it easier to do
certain things, and in other ways, made it more difficult or impossible(like seeing the SQL for an insert, update, delete).
>
Anyway, looking at the java.sql package, you can do this.
java.sql.ResultSet rs = <jata-model>.getResultSet();
java.sql.ResultSetMetaData rsMeta = rs.getMetaData();
// not sure if this is what you need, but it was the closest thing I couldfind
int colSize = rsMeta.getColumnDisplaySize(int column);
There are numerous other methods in the ResultSetMetaData interface thatmay be of use as well.

Need help in modifying the column length

Hi Experts,
I need to modify the length of a column from char(10) to char(5), but it's showing the error of:
ALTER TABLE appr_group_table MODIFY (APPR_TBLNO CHAR(5)) It's showing the below error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01441: cannot decrease column length because some value is too bigI've checked in the dbase but there is no any value of this column having more than 5 characters:
SQL> SELECT APPR_TBLNO FROM appr_group_table;
APPR_TBLNO
ANTAB
ANTAB
ANTST
SCCTR
SOTAB
SOTAB

11 rows selected.Thnx in advance for helping me out.....

char means fixed length variable. when you say char(10) oracle will reserve 10 places for your data. that means in your output what you are seeing as blank spaces are also considered as data. that is the reason, it is not allowing you to reduce the size.
better solution is to create new column with varchar2 or char(5) datatype and transfer this column data into new column and then drop original column.

Set the column length in an sql query

Hi,
Is there a way to set the column length in a query without using sqlplus commands like row size and format column.
I'd like to do it just from the sql query itself.
select 'this is a test' from dual; Can I define the width of this column in the select statement
Cheers.

Use RPAD,
SQL> WITH T
2       AS (SELECT 'this is test' str FROM DUAL
3           UNION ALL
4           SELECT 'this is a long test' FROM DUAL
5           UNION ALL
6           SELECT 'this is a long long long long test' FROM DUAL)
7 SELECT RPAD ( str, 20) str,LENGTH( RPAD ( str, 20)) len
8    FROM T;
STR                         LEN
this is test                 20
this is a long test          20
this is a long long          20

How to decrease the column length in working time (CATS) table

Hi all,
Can you please tell me how we can decrease the column length in CATS table in the portal. Is it something we can do in webdynpro or in the back end.
Thanks in advance.

I was looking for something similar and ran across OSS Note 989453. I would recommend checking out this note to see if it helps. Apparently, there is a JAVA program error that makes the columns wider than they need to be.
We have not yet tried this so if you happen to use it, let me know how it works for you.

You are welcome. I'm glad you got it back up.
(1) You say you did the symbolic link. I will assume this is set correctly; it's very important that it is.
(2) I don't know what you mean by "Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now, 700 emails each day at least." After the initial training period, SpamAssassin doesn't learn from mail it has already processed correctly. At this point, you only need to teach SpamAssassin when it is wrong. [email protected] should only be getting spam that is being passed as clean. Likewise, [email protected] should only be getting legitimate mail that is being flagged as junk. You are redirecting mail to both [email protected] and [email protected] ... right? SpamAssassin needs both.
(3) Next, as I said before, you need to implement those "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server." Once you have that done and issue "postfix reload" you can look at your SMTP log in Server Admin and watch as Postfix blocks one piece of junk mail after another. It's kind of cool.
(4) Add some SARE rules:
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and download the following rules:
70sareadult.cf
70saregenlsubj0.cf
70sareheader0.cf
70sarehtml0.cf
70sareobfu0.cf
70sareoem.cf
70sarespoof.cf
70sarestocks.cf
70sareunsub.cf
72sare_redirectpost
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm and download the following rules:
backhair.cf
bogus-virus-warnings.cf
chickenpox.cf
weeds.cf
Copy these rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/
Then stop and restart mail services.
There are other things you can do, and you'll find differing opinions about such things. In general, I think implementing the "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server" and adding the SARE rules will help a lot. Good luck!

How can we restrict Column length in ALV using POWL.

Hello,
I have a new assignment o ABAP Web Dynpro, data displaying ALV by using POWL is a part of that assignment. Everything went fine and at last moment I was stuck with a small issue. In my application I am displaying first ALV by using POWL concept and on the basis of selected row I am displaying second level LAV by using normal ALV procedure (SALV_WD_TABLE). Here the issue is as soon as second ALV is displaying columns in first level ALV are getting expanded. How can I restrict Column length in first level ALV using POWL. I browsed a lot for getting the solution for this, Can any one help me out from this issue.

Export failure due to column length in DRM 11.1.2.1

Hi All,
We have migrated recently from 11.1.1.43 to 11.1.2.1 and the issue is with one of the exports
In the earlier version you have the option of manipulating the column length inspite of the actual length set in the table column. This can be edited in the column options when the table is selected at the last option of export.
Now the issue is i could see the length of the column in the 11.1.2.1 export option but i was unable to edit that length and reduce it to the required
Viz., i have the column length of 80 set in the table and in the export it is restricted to 50 in the old version. Now i'm unable to edit this in 11.1.2.1
Could anyone help me on this? I believe i may be missing some basics here
Thanks

In the earlier versions by default every property length is treated as 50 Characters while we export the data from DRM,
Now in the new version we need to alter the table before we export based on the property length,
Thanks,
Murali

How to change (decrease) primary key column length?

Hi all,
I have plenty of data in the table and I need to decrease the primary key column from CHAR(17) to CHAR(13).
I try to use:
ALTER TABLE xx MODIFY (prmy_key (13));
but Oracle give:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01441: column to be modified must be empty to decrease column length
Can anyone give me advice on what is the best way to decrease column length? Thanks in advance for your help.

To add to the above, I have done a simple test in the lines that I was suggesting the solution for this problem,
   CREATE TABLE testA
   (pk_col   varchar2(20), jd date, constraint pk1 PRIMARY KEY(pk_col));
   --Insert data into testA
   create table testB as select * from testA;
   TRUNCATE table testA;
   ALTER TABLE testA modify(pk_col VARCHAR2(10));
   INSERT INTO testA SELECT substr(pk_col, 1, 10), jd from testB;
   DROP TABLE testB;
   Select constraint_name, constraint_type, status from all_constraints
   Where table_name = 'TESTA';
   CONSTRAINT_NAME                C STATUS
   PK1                            P ENABLEDAlter command is successful as the table is empty. TRUNCATE flushes the data and resets the high water mark keeping all the constraints. If we safely want to use the TRUNCATE as far as storage issues are concerned,
TRUNCATE table table_name reuse storage;
I think, this would accoplish what has been asked.
Let me know,
