Max Row Length

I have a 9.2 instance and I was wondering if there was a max row length in my tables.

Do you happen to have a small-ish test case the reproduces the problem? I can pretty much guarantee you that the database itself doesn't limit the size of the row, but I'm hard-pressed to imagine a cause for this sort of problem in the application stack.
For sanity, you might try applying the latest patchsets to your client and server to see whether that magically fixes something.

Finding Avg Row Length size

Hi All,
How we can find Avg row length size of a table, without inserting data into a table. This is required to basically estimate table size (roughly). We might need to this for at least 100+ tables.
regards,
vara

The average row length depends on the data you are inserting into the table.
You can easily compute an approximation of the max row length from Oracle’s data dictionary:
select
table_name ,
sum(data_length)
from
user_tab_columns
group by
table_nameLet’s say we have a table with a number(10) and a varchar2(1000) column. For a data set where the varchar2 column contains at least 900 characters we would get average row size of 900+. For the same table, but with another data set where the varchar2 column has fewer than 50 characters, we would get average row size of less than 100.

External table max record length check

This question is regarding fixed length input file.
I am checking to see if it is possible to add a check to verify the max length of a record when defining an external table.
For example, if I am expecting a fixed length file with max record/row length of 100, is it possible to reject lines in the
file that are more than 100 characters long?
Thanks.

What you can do is something like:
DROP TABLE TBL_EXT
CREATE TABLE TBL_EXT(
                     VAL       VARCHAR2(4),
                     INDICATOR VARCHAR2(1)

APEX 3.1 Report pagination style limited by max row count

I am working on an application using APEX 3.1 and am having trouble keeping the report pagination style as a select list when the max row count for the report is greater than 8000. If I use the select list as the pagination method, the first time that the first page is viewed is fine however all subsequent pages begin to use the "next" and "previous" link method of pagination. This is only occurring when the max row count is higher than 8000 and a select list is used for pagination.
My question is: is the style of pagination, in Oracle APEX (3.1), limited by the potential number of rows returned for the report? If not, is this a bug with my version of Oracle APEX?

The source of my problem was that the report referenced a page item for the number of rows. That select list referenced a named List of Values (LOV) that limited the number of rows that the report could display. I removed that reference and my problem disappeared!

Hyp FR Error: 5200 : Error executing query. Exceed max row number 100000

Hi,
I am getting the error
5200 : Error executing query. Exceed max row number 100000
when I run the report on Financial Reporting. It gives the same error when run on Workspace.
Have you guys encountered this error before? What are the best ways to tackle it? Help is much appreciated guys.
-- Adi
Edit 1 - I tried to simplify the parameters but I still get the same error making me suspect that the issue is not the 100000 row issue.

Goal
How do you increase the maximum row limit to avoid the error "5200: Error executing query: Exceed max row number 100000"?
Solution
1.Edit \Hyperion\common\ADM\<version>\lib\ADM.properties as follows:
From MAX_ROW_NUMBERS=100000 to MAX_ROW_NUMBERS=500000
If you are running extremely large reports, you can increase the limit.
2.Restart Reporting and Analysis services.

Writing large xmltype data to UTL_FILE and setting max row per file

Hey Gurus,
I am trying to create a procedure (in Oracle 9i) that writes out xml data I have created into several xml files (file would probably be to large for one xml file output...I am doing this for 270,000 rows of data), setting the max rows to 1000 rows per file. I know one would have to create a looping contsruct to do this but I am just not adept enough in PL/SQL to figure it out at the moment.
So essentially their would be some sort of loop construct and substr process that creates a file after looping through 1000 rows and then continues the count and creates a another file until all 270 xml files are created. Simple enough right...lol? Well I've tried doing this and haven't gotten anywhere. My pl/sql coding skills are too elementary I am guessing. I've only been doing this for about three months and could use the assistance of a more experienced person here.
Here are the particulars...
This is the xmltype view code that I used to create the xml data.
select XMLELEMENT("macess_exp_import_export_file",
XMLELEMENT("file_header",
XMLELEMENT("file_information")),
XMLELEMENT("items",
XMLELEMENT("documents",
(SELECT XMLAGG(XMLELEMENT("document",
XMLELEMENT("external_reference"),
XMLELEMENT("processing_instructions",
XMLELEMENT("update", name)),
XMLELEMENT("filing_instructions",
XMLELEMENT("folder_ids",
XMLELEMENT("folder",
XMLATTRIBUTES(folder_id AS "id", folder_type_id AS "folder_type_id")))),
XMLELEMENT("document_header",
XMLELEMENT("document_type",
XMLATTRIBUTES(document_type AS "id")),
XMLELEMENT("document_id", document_id),

XMLELEMENT("document_data",
XMLELEMENT("internal_file",

XMLELEMENT("document_extension", document_extension)
))))from macess_import_base WHERE rownum < 270000))))AS result
from macess_import_base WHERE rownum < 270000;
This is the Macess_Import_Base table that I am creating xml data from

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.

6 AND DATA_TYPE like '%CHAR%'

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.

Restricting users ability to modified Max Rows Retrieved

Hi
In Web Intelligence Rich Client how can I restrict a users ability to change the Max Rows Retrieved in a query.
Currently we use Desktop Intelligence and restrict max rows retrieved in the universe, but I note this can be overwritten when by the user in Webi Rich Client at the query creation stage.
SAP documentation indicates that a restriction can be applied in the security profile via the CMC but I'm unable to find this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Sean

Any info would be helpful at this stage. Thanks

How to get a Sum of rows, when i use the property max. rows p. page ?

Hi all.
I've got a query and get a lot of rows (amounts) back.
Now i want to have max. 21 rows per page.
So, first i used the property "max. rows p. page"=21.
But i want a have Sum-Field p.page too, which shows the sum of the amount p. page at a >fixed place (bottom, left) at the page.
this didnt work well....
Because when i have 30 rows, then the sum will shown at the second page (because the sum-field its after the repeating frame).
...Now i forgot the property and placed a function and two placeholder in the query like this:
Function:
:cp_row:=:cp_row +1;
if (mod (:cp_row,21)=0)) then :CP_pagenr:=:CP_pagenr+1;
Placeholders: cp_row, cp_pagenr
Now i want to use :CP_pagenr to change the group - but Report Builder says: I cant... because placeholder are not allowed to change a group.
So.. perhaps anyone can give me a hint how i can do this ?
Thanks a lot...

hello.
that sound to me as you wanted a running total. check out the metalink knwoledge base and search for running total and you will find a note on how to do that.
