the error seems that the binary data cannot be view thru SQL PLUS.

Probably you are trying to view BLOB data. Try this to view the data:
SQL> CREATE TABLE t (a BLOB)
2 /
Table created.
SQL> INSERT INTO t
2 VALUES (UTL_RAW.cast_to_raw ('Hello World'))
3 /
1 row created.
SQL> SELECT UTL_RAW.cast_to_varchar2 (a) a
2 FROM t
3 /
A
Hello World

Apex 4.0 - Can see view data in SQL*Plus but no data in Object Browser

Hi There,
I have just started using Apex 4.o and migrated some apps. I have an issue with a report, but see the same issue with Object browser, which is easier to describe.
I have a view:
create or replace view V_PLJ_USERDEF_CODES (
         CODE_SET_ID,
         CODE_SET_CODE,
         CODE_SET_DESC,
         CODE_ID,
         CODE_SYS_CODE,
         CODE_VALUE,
         CODE_DESC,
         DISPLAY_SEQ,
         DISPLAY_FLAG,
         LANGUAGE_CODE) as
select CS.CODE_SET_ID,
         CS.CODE_SET_CODE,
         CS.CODE_SET_DESC,
         C.CODE_ID,
         C.CODE_SYS_CODE,
         C.CODE_VALUE,
         C.CODE_DESC,
         C.DISPLAY_SEQ,
         C.DISPLAY_FLAG,
         C.LANGUAGE_CODE
    from PLJ_CODES C,
         PLJ_CODE_SETS CS
   where C.CODE_SET_ID         = CS.CODE_SET_ID
     and CS.CODE_SET_TYPE_CODE = SYS_CONTEXT('PLJUMPSTART','C_USERDEF_CODE_SET');This returns data in SQL*Plus, but no data in Object Browser OR report region based on this view.
Workspace parses in the same schema as tested in SQL*Plus.
If, in report, I swap out view, and use underlying table - no problem.
Any ideas -
thanks
P

Hi all,
Thanks for getting back so promptly.
It just seems weird to me, as tables are just fine, but not views.
In the underlying schema:
SQL> sho user
USER is "ICSREPORTING"
SQL> select count(*) from plj_codes;
COUNT(*)
       107
SQL> select count(*) from v_plj_userdef_codes;
COUNT(*)
        29And in the APEX schema
SQL> sho user
USER is "APEX_040000"
SQL> select count(*) from icsreporting.plj_codes;
select count(*) from icsreporting.plj_codes
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
SQL> select count(*) from icsreporting.v_plj_userdef_codes;
select count(*) from icsreporting.v_plj_userdef_codes
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
SQL>However, in SQL browser, I can see the data in PLJ_CODES but in V_PLJ_USERDEF_CODES, just the message "This view has no data". Indeed, it is like this for all views.
I even explicitly granted access to APEX_040000 but no good.
In fact, I would like to know more about how Apex gets access to do DML against the underlying parsing schema(s).
This is a little frustrating though. It worked just fine in lots of apps in version 2.1 to 3.2
Am I missing something
paul
p.s I knew there would be a question about the context, but I had already checked that. :)

View CLOB data in SQL Developer

Hi,
Can anyone let me know how to view CLOB data in SQL Developer 2.1.
I am having images stored in a column of datatype CLOB. How to view this image.
Database is 10.2.0.4.

Since SQL Developer has no idea about the type of data stored in LOB columns, one cannot view that content in desired format.
You need a tool to extract the LOB data and render it accordingly.
BTW, do you mean BLOB here?

How to get Arabic dates in SQL*Plus?

I want to do a very simple thing.
I want to type in Arabic and Display dates in Arabic.
Instead i get ????? ??????? ????? ??????? ? ? ???????, ????? for this?
Why is this?
I then changed my Windows XP "Regional and Language Options" all to Arabic. Now, I get AR (Arabic) in my language selection bar at the bottom of the Desktop. When I choose AR I can type Arabic in Notepad. ُ
Even HERE I can type in Arabic: فغحث غخعق ةثسسشلث اثقث
But in Sql*PLus I get ????? ??????? ????? ??????? ? ? ???????, ?????
If I choose AR in SQL Plus and type in Arabic I get garbage characters?

How to see Chinese data using SQL Plus?

Hi,
Is it possible to see the Chinese character string saved in the database by using English version Sql Plus? The following data is set up in the table NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS in my oracle database. I'm really appreciated if anybody could help me.
Thanks,

Thanks for your repley. I don't think I need to change NLS_CHARACTERSET setup because I can load Chinese data into the database and also can see the data by running Chinese tool like NJStar Communicator. Therefore, I probably need to change the session level parameters, but not sure.

How to view full script in sql*plus

Hi,
i am having a user who want to view the script for trigger by querying user_triggers in SQL*PLUS. i just remembered that there is some DBMS_ package for doing this. can anyone please provide that package name.
thanks in advance

Were you thinking of DBMS_METADATA?
Have a look at this: http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/database/solutions/archives/ddl-generationoracles-answer-to-save-you-time-and-money-7590

View clob data is sql

i have a column name "Description" with clob datatype.
In one of the records, the 'description' has 5mb of text data.
Is there a way to display the whole 5mb of data.
Thanks in advance,
Regards

If you are using PL/SQL Developer its very easy to see the CLOB oblects just clicking ... button infront of that column .
OR
If you are using SQL*PLUS
SET LONG 10000 -- to the size u want
select col_clob from test
Else
set the offset LOBOFFSET from where u want to see the out put, 1 will give u the out put from begining
SET LOBOFFSET 1
Select col_clob from test

Viewing CLOB data in sql developer

In SQL Developer 1.1, if CLOB data was returned from a query, you could place your mouse over the column and get most of it.
But in 1.2, all you get is "(CLOB) <some data> ...", and nothing else. Is there something I need to set?

You should look in the SQL Developer forum. I think your question is answered here:
How to view the entire CLOB in results table?

XML display in SQL*Plus

Hi,
I have a data stored in table in XML format in a clob column. When I query the table containing the XML data only part of the XML is shown in SQL*Plus. Is there anyway that I can view the full XML data in SQL* Plus prompt?
Thanks,
Milton.

The SET LOBOFFSET, SET LONG and SET LONGCHUNKSIZE values affect how SQL*Plus fetches from CLOBs.

SQL*Plus formatting

Can someone know how to configure login.sql to view data from SQL*Plus just like in standard MySQL output?

as to the one column per line, I would recommend increasing your LINESIZE
set linesize 1000
to get the vertical bar between things
set colsep |
to force a row of underscores between each line
set recsep each
don't think we can do the "+"
and I hope the lack of spaces (positional output) is due to the lack of "[ pre ]" tags in your post

SQL*Plus vs web/browser admin interface for 10g Express

hello, I'm a newbie in Oracle. Seem like I executed the setup script using SQL*Plus successfully (the scrpt CREATE TABLE then INSERT setup data) but seems like Oracle 10g Express web/browser interface tells me the setup data has never been inserted into the tables created?!

I verified this from SQL*Plus environmet:

I then closed SQL*Plus and tried to browse via :

I ran the count(1) SQL again just to check. The table is empty?! I logged into SQL*Plus AND 10g web interface using same credential dev/dev. Not sure what's happening why I can see data from SQL*Plus but not web/browser admin interface

GOT IT! --- I needed COMMIT

ORA-01401 on execution SQL*Plus Copy command

I looking solution for strange problem :
I having two database created with AL32UTF8 character-set ; current application design are that we loading data throw SQL Loader and than transferring loaded data from one database to another using SQL*Plus copy command.
Now , we having two tables , declared 100% identically , with respect to NLS and CHAR semantics (all varchar fields having CHAR inside length).
At attempt to transfer data , with SQL*Plus Copy command I'm receiving next output :
ERROR:
ORA-01401: inserted value too large for column
If I'm trying to transfer data via DB link , and this succeeds , or throw exp/imp utilities it also works .
Database servers are 9.2 (i tryied with 9.2.0.6 or 9.2.0.8) ; client side were 9.2.0.8 , 10.1.0.5 ...
On client side NLS_LANG variable are set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256 (we working on project who needs to support arabic language)
Did anyone encountered same problem ? Any One ?

it could be that the column of the table that you are trying to insert the data has a small length.

I personally don't like SQL Developer or TOAD, though perhaps I'm in a minority. I agree completely. Toad does a lot of things but many of are ill thought out, the most obvious is the default feature of displaying a result time after fetching the first screen of rows. This alone has led to hundreds of posting along the lines of, I have this query that returns 12 billion rows. In a stored procedure it takes days, but it completes in 12 milliseconds in TOAD?
The last I looked SQL Developer had that typical Java sluggishness on a Windows box, and I am still not interested in whether that is a Windows or Java problem. I just know that if I have to use Windows I tend to choose applications that are not written in Java if possible.
It also was unable to connect using OS authenticated accounts which effectively ruled it out as anything other than a toy as our development environment mandates it. I believe there may be a workaround, but there are always hints of waving a rubber chicken at it and frankly why bother at this stage.
PL/SQL Developer is by far the best.

Sporadically getting error "string or binary data would be truncated" in SQL server 2008 while inserting in a Table Type object

I am facing a strange SQL exception:-
The code flow is like this:
.Net 4.0 --> Entity Framework --> SQL 2008 ( StoredProc --> Function {Exception})
In the SQL Table-Valued Function, I am selecting a column (nvarchar(50)) from an existing table and (after some filtration using inner joins and where clauses) inserting the values in a Table Type Object having a column (nvarchar(50))
This flow was working fine in SQL 2008 but now all of sudden the Insert into @TableType is throwing  "string or binary data would be truncated" exception.
Insert Into @ObjTableType
Select * From dbo.Table
The max length of data in the source column is 24 but even then the insert statement into nvarchar temp column is failing.
Moreover, the same issue started coming up few weeks back and I was unable to find the root cause, but back then it started working properly after few hours
(issue reported at 10 AM EST and was automatically resolved post 8 PM EST). No refresh activity was performed on the database.
This time however the issue is still coming up (even after 2 days) but is not coming up in every scenario. The data set, for which the error is thrown, is valid and every value in the function is fetched from existing tables.
Due to its sporadic nature, I am unable to recreate it now :( , but still unable to determine why it started coming up or how can i prevent such things to happen again.
It is difficult to even explain the weirdness of this bug but any help or guidance in finding the root cause will be very helpful.
I also Tried by using nvarchar(max) in the table type object but it didn't work.
Here is a code similar to the function which I am using:

I have tried by converting the columns and also validated the input data set for any white spaces or special characters.
For the same input data, it was working fine till yesterday but suddenly it started throwing the exception.

Remember, the CTE isn't executing the SQL exactly in the order you read it as a human (don't get too picky about that statement, it's at least partly true enough to say it's partly true), nor are the line numbers or error messages easy to read: a mismatch
in any of the joins along the way leading up to your insert could be the cause too. I would suggest posting the table definition/DDL for:
- PSMetadata, in particular PSRowID, but just post it all
- tblProjectSur, in particularcolumns CSymbID and TblProjSurSurID
- cSymbLookup, in particular column CSymbID
- PSRow, in particular columns SampleRowID, PID,
- PSAuser and PSUserSur, in particualr all the USERID and RowID columns
- SurCSymbs, in particular colum SIDs
Also, a diagnostic query along these lines, repeat for each of your tables, each of the columns used in joins leading up to your insert:
Select count(asurv.sid) as count all
, count(case when asurv.sid between 0 and 9999999999 then 1 else null end) as ctIsaNumber
from SurvCsymb
The sporadic nature would imply that the optimizer usually chooses one path to the data, but sometimes others, and the fact that it occurs during the insert could be irrelevant, any of the preceding joins could be the cause, not the data targeted to be inserted.
