V3.0, NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS byte vs. char for CREATE TABLE

Hi,
When creating a new table (via "New Table" or "Data Load ...")
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS of table columns are always in byte even when NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS
is set to char for the instance (and so as default for all sessions) and has not explicitly changes for the current session.
Is there a way to change this behavior or could this be a gebnerell problem in 3.0.
I would like SQL Developer to use the standard settings of the instance as long as I don't set it different for a session.
Please give me a littel hint how to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I'm not sure wether or not this is a too complicated or just as silly question.
However it's still an issue for me.
It would be great if someone could at least confirm or refuse it.
Hoping for an answer- Thank you again!
Andre

Hi,
If you click on any given table in the Connections view, an object viewer opens for that table. Its column tab lists all columns with attributes for column_name, data_type, and so on. The data_type info includes the length semantics, e.g., VARCHAR2(30 BYTE).

Perhaps you are tripping over Bug 6928496. I suspect best bet is to open a SR with Oracle rather than hope for similar occurance within the user community.

Reg : class for creating table control

hi everyone,
             is there any class for creating table control?my requirement is
              created 2 custom containers,one for alv display and other for table control display.
For alv i used cl_gui_alv->set_table_first_display,likewise any class for creaitng table control?????????
pleas find me a solution......
                  thanks in advance......

Hi,
You can use the class CL_TABLECONTROL for creating table control and the method SET_VALUES shall be used to fill values for tha tabcntrl.
Else, you can use the Table Control Wizard to create the tabcntrl easily.

Is it a third party API for creating table in J2ME?

I am a newbie to J2ME and i would like to know that whther is there any third party API for creating table in J2ME beside using Canvas to draw the table? Please help...

its not the "L shape" that holds it better rather the higher GAUSS rating on the older connector.
Apple redesigned the NEW magsafe to be weaker AND of a diff. design with lower neodymium magnetic gauss rating for a reason
people at coffee shops etc were getting their macbooks yanked to the ground when someone tripped over the cord.
The new neodymium is a N35 gauss and the older Lshape was N40 or N45 gauss (too tight)
I know what youre talking about, but Apple redesigned it that way for several good reasons, despite it "coming out easier" on the bed for which ,
as Apple Inc. states, it is "not intended to be used" (nor in laps, couches...etc.)

Stored procedure for creating tables

Is it possible to create a stored procedure which only contains create tables? I prepare everything on an environment and want to transfer everything, except the data, on anothe environment. Therfore I thought of an stored procedure which does everything automatically. Additional I want to create a package which contains all necessary stored procedures (which are already finished). Is it better to insert the create-table-lines in the package?
Thanks for your help!

PL/SQL is not the appropriate tool for this.
What does Oracle RDBMS products like Apex use to install? SQL*Plus scripts. A combination of SQL code and anonymous PL/SQL blocks.
This is also what we use to install any one of a dozen Oracle systems we have developed.. it is as simple as running 'sqlplus "/ as sysdba" @installer <tablespace> <schema> <password>'.
Trying to do this type of thing in PL/SQL... lots of disadvantages, lots of complexities, and very little (if any) benefit.

Is it planned to add feature for creating tables and lists in Adobe Edge Reflow?

First of all, thank you very much guys for all your work!
In my opinion Adobe Edge Reflow is missing quite important features, like creating tables and lists. For me it's a reason why I can't switch to Reflow. Any plans for implementing these? Is there any place where I can see the list of planned feature implementation? Didn't find it.

Missing tables is a big one for me too, especially when doing data-grids. My last prototype was using multiple responsive data-grids where I used the simpler essential/optional hide column approach, instead of stacking or scrolling the data. I had used Reflow in the past for basic content prototypes... but had to do this one by hand... took longer. Using divs for this did not collapse properly in all the browsers, plus the back-end team use widgets that only generate tables. Here is the example:

Minimum privileges for creating table

I wanted to know of the minimum set of privileges for creating a table in Oracle 11g database. First I created a schema and granted the create table privilege to the schema. When I tried to create a table in the schema, it was giving a message of like privileges required on the tablespace. Granting the resource privilege grants the unlimited quota on all the tablespaces including SYSTEM and SYSAUX tablespace which may not be an ideal scenario. So, my query is that what are the minimum set of privileges for creating a table in Oracle 11g database.
I hope, my question is clear.
Please revert with the reply to my query.

Confusion on nologging clause - for create table

hi guys,
just 1 simple question.
q1) when i create a table via no logging, is the CREATION of the table not logged as well ?
Regards,
Noob

The difference between LOGGING and NOLOGGING takes place for direct path operations.
The Oracle Docs give a very good explanation:

I 'consider' that you have an error in your SQL in that you have a missing right parenthesis BUT since I can't see your SQL I am only guessing.

SQLPLUS define variables for creating table.

I am doing the following in SQLPLUS
define l_date = to_char(sysdate,'yyyy')
define l_name = "'mytable'"
define l_tn = &l_name||&l_date
SQL> select &l_name||&l_date from dual;
old 1: select &l_name||&l_date from dual
new 1: select 'mytable'||to_char(sysdate,'yyyy') from dual
'MYTABLE'||
mytable2010
But when I use in this way I don't get YEAR.
SQL> select '&l_tn' from dual;
old 1: select '&l_tn' from dual
new 1: select 'mytable' from dual
'MYTABL
mytable
I want to create table in sqlplus using the following command:
create table &l_tn(x number)
Please let me know what I am doing wrong here.

Hi,
SQL functions (like TO_CHAR) and operators (like ||) are not executed in SQL*Plus commands (like DEFINE).
Test your variables after defining them; you'll see what I mean
define l_date = to_char(sysdate,'yyyy')
PROMPT     &l_date = l_dateOutput:
to_char(sysdate,'yyyy') = l_dateThat is, l_date is being set to a 23-character string, which starts with 't' and contains '(', ',' and ')', all of which are illegal in file names (probably; system-dependent).
I think you wanted it set to a 4-character string, such as '2010'.
Use the COLUMN ... NEW_VALUE (or ... OLD_VALUE) command to set a substitution variable to the results of a SQL calculation.
I think you're trying to do something like this:
COLUMN     year_col     NEW_VALUE     l_date
SELECT     TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'YYYY')     AS year_col
FROM     dual;
define l_name = mytable
CREATE TABLE &l_name&l_date

Using bytes or chars for String phonetic algorithm?

Hi all. I'm working on a phonetic algorithm, much like Soundex.
Basically the program receives a String, read it either char by char or by chunks of chars, and returns its phonetic version.
The question is which method is better work on this, treating each String "letter" as a char or as a byte?
For example, let's assume one of the rules is to remove every repeated character (e.g., "jagged" becomes "jaged"). Currently this is done as follows:
public final String removeRepeated(String s){
                char[] schar=s.toCharArray();
          StringBuffer sb =new StringBuffer();
          int lastIndex=s.length()-1;
          for(int i=0;i<lastIndex;i++){
               if(schar!=schar[i+1]){
                    sb.append(schar[++i]);//due to increment it wont work for 3+ repetions e.g. jaggged -> jagged
          sb.append(schar[lastIndex]);
          return sb.toString();
Would there be any improvement in this computation:public final String removeRepeated(String s){
          byte[] sbyte=s.getBytes();
          int lastIndex=s.length()-1;
          for(int i=0;i<lastIndex;i++){
               if(sbyte[i]==sbyte[i+1]){
                    sbyte[++i]=32; //the " " String
          return new String(sbyte).replace(" ","");
Well, in case there isn't much improvement from the short(16-bit) to the byte (8-bit) computation, I would very much appreciate if anyone could explain to me how a 32-bit/64-bit processor handles such kind of data so that it makes no difference to work with either short/byte in this case.

You may already know that getBytes() converts the string to a byte array according to the system default encoding, so the result can be different depending on which platform you're running the code on. If the encoding happens to be UTF-8, a single character can be converted to a sequence of up to four bytes. You can specify a single-byte encoding like ISO-8859-1 using the getBytes(String) method, but then you're limited to using characters that can be handled by that encoding. As long as the text contains only ASCII characters you can get away with treating bytes and characters as interchangeable, but it could turn around and bite you later.
Your purpose in using bytes is to make the program more efficient, but I don't think it's worth the effort. First, you'll be constantly converting between {color:#000080}byte{color}s and {color:#000080}char{color}s, which will wipe out much of your efficiency gain. Second, when you do comparisons and arithmetic on {color:#000080}byte{color}s, they tend to get promoted to {color:#000080}int{color}s, so you'll be constantly casting them back to {color:#000080}byte{color}s, but you have to watch for values changing as the JVM tries to preserve their signs.
In short, converting the text to bytes is not going to do anywhere near enough good to justify the extra work it entails. I recommend you leave the text in the form of {color:#000080}char{color}s and concentrate on minimizing the number of passes you make over it.

Free software for creating tables/report templates?

Hi, I need to create some tables, reports and timetable templates for school but don't have any software currently that can cope with this. I'd be very grateful if someone could suggest a free software program that can let me easily draw straight lines and add text etc. Thanks very much for any advice.

Change NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS from BYTE to CHAR on Oracle 9i2 problem!

Hi,
I have created a new database on Oracle 9i 2, I did not find the correct pfile parameter for the NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS setting.
So have created a standart UTF8 database and now I am trying to change the standard NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=BYTE to CHAR. When I execute the following command in SQL PLUS "ALTER SYSTEM SET NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR SCOPE=BOTH"
The system is tells me that command is successfully executed.
But when I look at the NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS table I do not see any change for the NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS parameter.
I have also restarted the instance but still everything is the same as it was before.
Do you know what I am doing wrong?
Regards
RobH

Hi,
Yeah you are right, the nls_session_parameters "NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS" for the app user is set to CHAR.
This means that NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS is from the SYS or SYSTEM user view?
Thanks a lot
