What is the maximum number of characters in an Oracle 10G Instance Name

All,
Can I know what is the maximum number of characters in an oracle 10g instance name under AIX? Is it 7 characters or 8 characters?
regards
Santhosh

One should really make the difference between db_name and instance_name: if instance_name default value is db_name it can be different
(even on a non RAC database).
For example with Oracle 10.2.0.4 you can create a database named DB78 with instance_name=DB12345678:
$ uname -a
Linux lx01.localdomain 2.6.18-92.el5 #1 SMP Fri May 23 22:17:30 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
$ ps -fu oracle | grep smon
oracle    6353     1 0 20:30 ?        00:00:01 ora_smon_DB12345678
oracle    6412 5596 0 20:37 pts/1    00:00:00 grep smon
$ export ORACLE_SID=DB12345678
$ sqlplus / as sysdba

instance_name                        string      DB12345678
lock_name_space                      string
log_file_name_convert                string
service_names                        string      DB78I would not recommend this practice: but it's interesting to know to avoid confusing between db_name and instance_name.

What is the maximum number of characters in a FrameMaker 11 variable? in a FrameMaker 11 marker?

Thx to anyone who can answer today's FM trivia question!!
-Matt

Trick question - with or without the use of the FM GUI?
1. Via the FM interface to define a variable, FM will only save the first 1022 characters of your variable definition - if you dare try to enter that many via the GUI dialogue slot.
2. Importing a variable via MIF, adds virtually any length - I've tested out 2510 characters. HOWEVER, FM will only display the first 1023 characters of this string.
If you save the file to MIF, you can still see the original length of the variable. The other caveat is that if you touch any of these long variables via the FM GUI (Edit Variables), then FM will truncate it down to 1022 characters - regardless of how you save (binary or MIF).
FWIW - Klaus Daube lists (see: http://daube.ch/docu/fmaker25.html ):
Until FM 7.2: up to 255 characters including meta-notations (such as <Default ¶ Font> or \t - this counts as 16 resp. 2 characters). See also note Variables below
From FM 8.0: up to 2023 Windows Codepage characters or up to 2022 UTF-8 characters
I'd say that this is not quite correct. You could enter more than 255 prior to FM 7.2 as well, but again the display issue via the GUI kicked in and truncated down to 255. The newer versions only display 1022/1023 but you can enter more than 2510 characters (which in this case is futile anyway).

What is the maximum number of characters allowed for an e-mail account password?

By trial and error I found that 11 characters were too many and 9 characters are OK. I suppose the limit is probably 10 but why does the iPad just tell me that I have too many characters in stead of complaining about my User Account or Password being wrong and causing me to waste a few hours trying to chase down e-mail configuration options?
I hope this posting will save others some pain.

Not all email providers have the same password requirements. Without knowing who your email provider is, your information is of minimal use.

What is the maximum number of text characters

Probably has been asked before, but what is the maximum number of text characters that can be used in a song title and still be burned to a disk. TIA

Are the files tucked away in some deeply nested folder. I've not used Toast (being a PC) but my experience of other burning software suggests that it is usually designed to truncate the filenames to meet the specification of the format it is using. Also I believe "Red Book" is the audio standard so the output will simply be a number of audio tracks with the accompanying index. Filenames on the output end should be irrelevant, unless you've enabled CD Text which is not Red Book standard, and again Toast should enforce any field limits. Perhaps Toast is having trouble reading the files rather than a problem writing them. I assume the files are on an internal drive and you are not trying to burn DRM'd files.
Use a rewritable disc and clone a small audio file multiple times, giving them filenames of 40,45,50,55 etc. characters then try to burn them in a list of increasing length of filename - see which one Toast hangs on.

What's the maximum number of Apple TVs that can be displayed in the AirPlay list?

We have 50 conference rooms all on the same network and are considering equiping each one with an Apple TV for AirPlay Mirroring our iPad 2s to the rooms projector, or TV. What is the maximum number of Apple TVs that can be displayed in the AirPlay menu to select the correct Apple TV for the conference room being used?

From what you're saying it sounds as though you wouldn't want to Airplay to all AppleTVs at once, just identify them when that specific room in use?
This is one of those uncharted territories wheer most domestic users will not require such a set up - Apple provide no official info about this, but they'd be your best source to ask.

What is the maximum number of columns that can be displayed by sqlplus?

Questions:
Is there a limit on what sqlplus can display?
What is the maximum number of columns that can be displayed by sqlplus?
I cannot find anything on this in my search. I checked the limits page:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/apa.htm#sthref3658
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16604/apa.htm#i635278
It does not specify any column limits; however, I'm thinking it is tied to LINESIZE which is system dependent.
Please confirm if true.
Thanks!

Received answer directly from SQL*Plus Development:
"sqlplus does not have a limit on the number of columns it displays."
They created a table with more than 256 columns with data and had no problem retrieving the data.

TS1503 what is the maximum number of pictures I can store and keep on my iPhone 3G?

What is the maximum number of pictures I can store (and keep indefinitely) on my iPhone 3GS (8GB)?

It is a balancing act between your photos and everything else you have on the device (apps, mail, messages, etc.), so there is no specific "number" we can give you. Just keep track of your available memory, and make sure you back up your photos regularly so if you reach the maximum memory capacity, you can delete the oldest ones without worrying that they are not saved somewhere else:

What is the maximum number of photos in a iphoto book?

What is the maximum number of photos in an iphoto book?

Depends on the theme and the page layouts you - choose - a book has a maximum of 100 pages and as far as I have seen the most photos on a page is 16 - so 1600 would be the Max if you used 100 pages of 16 photos each
for an overview of page layouts for iPhoto '09 (all are still valid in iPhoto '11 - with some more added) see Liz Castro's web site - http://www.iphotobookthemes.com/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HomePage

What is the maximum number of contacts in a group that will send in an iCloud email? I'm sending from MacBookPro.

Limits on Sending Messages
iCloud has several safeguards to ensure that only iCloud members can send messages using the iCloud outgoing mail server. Among these safeguards are reasonable limitations on:
The total number of messages you can send each day (200 messages)
The number of recipients to whom you can send each day (1000 recipients)
The maximum number of recipients per message (100 recipients)
The size of incoming and outgoing messages (20 MB)
You can send 10 emails to 100 people each in a day, for example, or 198 messages with, on average, 5 recipients (and five ninety-ninths).

Hi Wayne - you have been very helpful; thank you.
I work at a film / tv post production facility. We use Outlook365 and the Sharepoint feature to share Word Docs and Excel Spreadsheets virtually. I use the Excel functionality in Sharepoint so that we can track media we copy to our StorNext SAN volumes as well as the multiple LTFS and Tar Per Shot LTO5s we write for both our clients and as internal data backups. Managing the media is beyond critical as TV and Feature studios require the utmost care of their OCF (original camera footage) and dailies / editorial media.
Of the many toolsets we use to edit and color shows and feature films is the AutoDesk platform (think Flame, Inferno, Smoke). The application toolset writes over 20TBs of data to our SAN volumes and the way it writes the data is unique to the application. If you tried to look at via a Mac Finder or Windows Explorer, the hex values in the filenames would not make sense. We cannot associate those hex names with actual human readable project names.
One of my engineers used the AutoDesk app to spit out a 1 million line plus text file with human readable names of every project, file type and file path.
What I am trying to do is suck all of that data into a spreadsheet that I can upload to Sharepoint (or paste directly into Sharepoint). When I try to copy/paste on my Mac Mini directly into a Sharepoint page, both Safari and Firefox go into a spinning beach ball of death. Time stops; photons of light are bent towards the event horizon; you get the picture.
Since Numbers won't accept more than 65,000 lines, I need a way to get that data into a spreadsheet.
I have downloaded LibreOffice and will give that a try.
Knowing what you do now, might you have any other suggestions?
Thank you again.
Scott
