Used to change the data type of existing column
Syntax:
Alter table <table_name> modify <col datatype>;
Example:
ALTER TABLE student MODIFY name VARCHAR2(50);
ALTER TABLE student MODIFY (name VARCHAR2(100),
email VARCHAR2(100));
Note: To reduce the data
type size, it will support only on empty table
Hello Mate,
ReplyDeleteIn debt to you for making my learning on the Modify Column in Oracle Table area so hassle-free! I lay my faith on your writings.
I am facing the below issue(Screen shot) with CREATE_JOB procedure. The issue is with CREDENTIAL_NAME attribute.
More information on this:
I tried to create the job for one of the predefined chain.
why I am using CREDENTIAL_NAME attribute is, in one of the chain step I am calling LINUX script.
I read multiple articles and watched many videos about how to use this tool - and was still confused! Your instructions were easy to understand and made the process simple.
Many Thanks,
Halo,
ReplyDeleteFully agree on Modify Column in Oracle Table . We’re seeing a lot of projects tackle big complex problems but few seem to have taken into consideration and in particular reasons to adopt.
Currently I'm trying to make a test using create job as a way to have multiple process on database starting in a loop.
Basically I'm getting different behaviors when testing on
different database machines. I'll define the machine names are A and B.
If I started running the anonymous block below in the machine A for a loop to create 3 multiple jobs, is working fine, i.e, the create job using enabled parameter, created the job and automatically start:
DECLARE
L_job_name VARCHAR2(100);
L_comments VARCHAR2(240);
L_pls_block VARCHAR2(32000);
L_thread NUMBER := 1; -- count of jobs
L_max_threads NUMBER := 3; -- max number of jobs to be started
L_lot_id NUMBER := 1234; -- add any number just to represent a lot
BEGIN
while L_thread <= L_max_threads loop
---
L_job_name := 'job_' || L_lot_id || L_thread;
L_comments := 'Job test ' || L_lot_id || ' and thread ' || L_thread;
L_pls_block := 'BEGIN logger.log(''job running of thread' || L_thread || '''); END;';
---
dbms_scheduler.create_job(job_name => L_job_name,
job_type => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
job_action => L_pls_block,
start_date => SYSTIMESTAMP,
comments => L_comments,
enabled => true);
--DBMS_SCHEDULER.RUN_JOB(L_job_name, TRUE);
L_thread := L_thread + 1;
end loop;
END;
/
but if I start the same code in the machine B, nothing is happening and I need to uncomment the line about DBMS_SCHEDULER.RUN_JOB(L_job_name, TRUE);
I did another test in the same machine B using enabled FALSE when creating the job and during the call from DBMS_SCHEDULER.RUN_JOB changed to false in the user_credentials but only one job runned, i.e, the result was logged from just one job, instead of the 3 jobs that had most be created.
Do you have an idea about what I need to look? Is there something related about database setup, credentials that I need to take a look?
It was cool to see your article pop up in my google search for the process yesterday. Great Guide.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you,
Ajeeth
