What data type I can use if the text is more then 4000 varchar?

Dear all,
What data type I can use if the text is more then 4000 varchar?
Please advice,
Amy

You didn't specify if you are referring to tables or code.
In tables the limit is varchar2(4000) so anything bigger will need to be stored in a CLOB (as already mentioned).
In PL/SQL code you can defined varchar2 up to 32K so varchar2(32767).

  • Owa_text.vc_arr: can't handle the string with more than 4000 characters?

    In the Oracel Web Application Server 4.0 documment, it says
    about owa_text.vc_arr :Type vc_arr is table of varchar2(32767)
    index by binary_integer.
    I amusing PL_SQL with Oracle8i and OWA4.0 web server.I want to
    use owa_text.vc_arr to pass the multple line texts in my form.
    If the text length is less than 4000 characters, everything works
    fine.However when the texts are longer than 4000 characters but
    less than the max length 32767 characters, I got this error
    message:
    OWS-05101: Execution failed due to Oracle error 2005
    ORA-02005: implicit (-1) length not valid for this bind or define
    datatype.
    Owa_text.vc_arr is supposed to handle the string with more
    than 4000 characters, is it true? Could anyone tell me why? Any
    help will be greatly appreciated!!!
    Thanks very much.

    htp.p(tdescription(i));
    end loop;
    end;

    Helena, I think you might get a better response either from the SQL-PL/SQL forum, or perhaps the Portal Applications forum - both of these tend to have folks very familiar with PL/SQL and the OWA packages.
    This forum is on Web services based on SOAP, WSDL and UDDI. These can be PL/SQL based but typically don't use the mod_psql or OWA web solution.
    As a pointer, I suspect you may already be familiar with, but just in case, you can always take a look at chapter 3 of the OAS documentation, "Developer's Guide: PL/SQL and ODBC Applications" where they go through a number of examples using parameters. See:
    http://technet.oracle.com/doc/appsrvr4082/guides/plsql.pdf
    Hope this or folks from the other list can help.

  • What data type do I use in MSA to handle CRM DEC data?

    Dear Geeks,
    We have a customer field 'ZZ_SUPPORT' on CRM (40 SP11) opportunities, which we flow
    down to mobile sales. It previously carried a NUMC2 value (a number
    from 1 - 99), and this worked fine... the data flowed fine in both
    directions. The data element ZZ_SUPPORT used in CRM is based on a newly
    created data domain called Z1_TO_99 and this was defined as data type NUMC
    (2 characters), which we have changed to DEC (4 characters, and decimal
    places 2, and screen display5). Having made this change and also
    changed the screen layout in SE51, the field now looks good and takes
    a value like '12.34' without error. We can also see the '12.34' value
    being carried in the Opp_Write Bdoc in SMW01 classic segment. However, the BDoc does not migrate
    successfully to Mobile - the ZZ_Support value is lost. In Mobile, I
    have genereted the Tables associated with Opportunity_write, and also
    the BDoc, and I have also changed the BOOPPORTUNITY / Y_Support field
    (which carries the value) from NUMC2 to String5. I have also tried Long5, and currency4
    because there is no data type "DEC" available in Mobile. When I send
    opportunity messages up from Mobile to CRM, I see them going into SMQ2
    and then they dissappear because the Function module cannot handle the
    BDoc. What is the problem? Is it the function module? or the data type
    used on Mobile - if so what should I use in the absense of "DEC"?

    Sounds like a strange issue indeed. I would call Johnny Nobles.

  • Performance and data types: which to use?

    Hi All,
    I am wondering what data type to use and the effect of them on memory/speed.
    1. What is the difference (if any) of using sgl, dbl, int etc. Looking at the LabVIEW help there seems to be a range of 8-256 bits of storage according to the data type. Is it basically choose the one with the smallest storage that can fit the data?
    2. I currently have a cluster flowing through subVI's. The cluster contains the start time (or freq), the delta t (or f) and the array of data (about 500-5000 elements). I tried to use the waveform datatype but it couldn't handle a delta t of 2 nanoseconds (500 MHz signal). Am i ok using the cluster, or should i seperate the components and pass them along? What data type should i use for each of the components?
    Thanks

    There are three main issue to consider.
    Range and accuracy. If you need a very high level of accuracy, then you will need to use the extended data type or even create your own, although that's unlikely.
    Memory. Yes, SGL takes less than DBL, but unless you're dealing with really huge amounts of data this won't matter.
    Coercion. Most built in functions work on DBL. If you wire a SGL into them, they will coerce it, possibly creating a copy of the data and increasing your memory usage.
    To sum it up, most of the times it would be best to use the default DBL. It's highly unlikely you'll need one of the others.
    As for your second question, it sounds to me like the data is a single organism, so I would say you should leave it in the cluster, but that really depends on whether the functions need it or not and whether you're constantly bundling and unbundling the cluster. Note that 5000 elements is far from being a large array and you shouldn't have any problems handling it.
    As for the timing unit, if you really only have 5000 elements (that's 10 microseconds of data?) then you should not have a problem with using a U32 with a nanosecond as the base unit. That should give you the ability to measure more than 4 seconds.
    Try to take over the world!

  • What file type should i use for reading a large file of data?

    I want to store data in a file and access them later. The data file could reach 500 to 1000 MBytes, as a binary file.
    I may have memory problems.
    I do not need the whole data in memory, only a few data each time, for my calculations.
    If i use a binary file, i can not read only a few data. I have to load the whole file and then read the data i need.
    Is this correct?
    If i use another type of file, can i read only a few bytes without loading the whole file?
    Maybe a TDMS file?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I would probably use a TDMS file for this since it could also be read into excel if it were small enough - just more flexiblility. But you can also do it using binary types. You don't have to read the entire file when using binary files. See below.

    Help ... I've accidentally deleted all data of my user in the terminal. what to do? Can i undo the commands?
    greetings from austria

    You cannot undo commands. When you delete/remove files with the rm command the files are not put in the trash where they could be recovered. They are gone.
    You should have your system backed up with Time machine and/or backup clone of your system. Use them to recover you files.

    Hi again,
    Several points that can help more:
    1. If you are working with Dot.Net, then I highly recommend read the first link that you got! This is nice and simple coding. Another option is this link which is even better in my opinion:
    http://www.dotnetgallery.com/kb/resource21-How-to-store-and-retrieve-images-from-SQL-server-database-using-aspnet.aspx
    2. As i mention above both link use the column's type image. There are several other option of working with Files. In most of my applications architecture I find that it is better to use a column which let us use any type of file and not an image column.
    In choosing the right column's type for your needs basically your fist question should be if if you want to store your data inside relational database environment or outside relational environment. It is a good idea to look for blogs on this issue. Next
    if you chose to store your data inside then you need to chose the right column type according to your server version. I highly recommend to look for blogs on the differences between those column's types: IMAGE, 
    Check those links:

  • URGENT:data type declaration of container within the method

    Hi
    My requirement is when the user revceives mail to approve/reject invoice ,the user attaches an attachmnet in the workitem stating the reson for approval/rejection of invoice.The attached attachement should be uploaded to invoice as an attachment.
    I have observed that the attachment attached by the user is stored in the container "office_document" and the type of the container is SOFM.
    To capture the attachment and send it to invoice i have created new task and new method in ZBUS2081.
    i created a container "office_doc_atta" in the workflow .the type of office_doc_atta is SOFM .
    in the method  as well as task i also declared parameter "office_doc_atta" of type sofm.
    to fetch the data from Task to method i have declared following table
    data:office_doc_atta type swc_object occurs 0 with header line.
    swc_get_table container 'office_doc_atta' office_doc_atta.
    I think that data type of "office_doc_atta" decalred within the method
    is wrong and i am unable to fetch data from the container.
    If anyone know what should be the data type of office_doc_atta within the method and how to fetch data from the task kindly let me know.
    Points will be rewarded.

    Try using SWOTOBJID instead of SWC_OBJECT.
    SWOTOBJID is the data type for a persistent object ID, while SWC_OBJECT is the data type for a runtime object ID (or reference or handle, if you are more familiar with any of those terms).
    Normally, an object will be passed by the persistent object ID. As the name reveals, the ID is persistent, i.e. remains the same. Therefore it can be stored in a database, and passed to the next step in a workflow - even if this step is executed by a different person another day.

  • Logical Data Base to be used in the QUICKVIEWER

    hello Abappers,
    My client cannot select text fields using SQVI so he wants me to come up with a way for him to do so. I was thinking of creating a logical data base which can be selected in SQVI. I could build the FM READ_TEXT into the QV but what I need clarification on is outputting the text fields because the logical data base is really a set of table joins and since I am using the QV I do not have the flexibility that I would have if I was using a logical data base in a program.
    Please advise if anybody has any ideas on this approach and how I would structure the output.

    Hi Santhosh,
    Since you say you are a beginner, lets start this way, hopefully U know from what datasources in ECC or R/3 you are supposed to load data from. Once you are sure about it, then follow this steps.
    1) Go to RSA5 transaction in ECC or R/3 System ( source system ).
    2) Select the specific datasource from which data is to be extracted to BI and press Activate Datasources button on the top right.
    3) Then on check whether this datasource is available in RSA6 screen.
    4) Come to BI system, there go to the Source Systems screen, there select the specific Source System (ECC or R/3).
    Go to U'r specific Infoarea i.e., SCM in that select the datasource for which U are supposed to extract data, right click and select Replicate Metadata.
    5) Once replication is done now right click again on datasource and create and run the infopackage  , if its BI 7.0 data will be extracted till PSA.
    6) After this create Transformation by right clicking on the Datasource again. Since I guess U will be using standard datasource U will get automatic transformations between the source fields and the infoobjects. Activate Transformations.
    7) After this Create a DTP process by again right clicking on the Datasource. Here U specify the Data Target to which data is to be loaded.
    8) Activate the DTP, once that's done successfully, Execute the DTP by clicking the Execute Button in the DTP.
    9) Monitor U'r data loading thru Monitor screen.
    Hope this helps.

  • Data type to be used

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement where i have to fetch mutiple rows of a table and then concatenate the data of a particular field of all the rows and put it into a single variable.
    I have no restrictions on the no of rows to be fetched due to which i cannot plan of the size of that single variable.
    Can anyone suggest me some data type which can take variable lengths at run time. also the size limit can go beyond 255.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    Chandna

    Hello Chandna,
    You can go with the following workaround;
    DATA:
      w_var1 TYPE string,
      w_var2 TYPE string.
    LOOP AT t_table INTO fs_table.
      CONCATENATE w_var1 fs_table-field1 INTO w_var2.
    ENDLOOP.
    Now, every time loop is run, current value is attached to previous value and at the end, you'll get concatenated values in w_var2.
    You can very well use w_var2.
    Hope, it helps you.
    Thanks: Zahack

  • How to decrypt data when you can't get the private key in Windows?

    I'm very confuse. My english is poor, but I try to say my question clearly.
    When browser connects to a https website which needs client certificate to authenticate the identity, the browser will send client certificate to web server.
    Then the web server will use the certificate to encrypt some data and send it to browser.
    Then broswer should have private key to decrypt that.
    But as I know, if I install a pfx format personal certificate, I can set can't export private key, which means you can't get the private key to use it. So how can
    the browser decrypt the data without private key?
    By the way, what is CSP, use CSP's interface can we use CryptoAPI
    to decrypt data without private key?

    Answer for question is  "you cant"..
