I have recently converted from 7.3.4 to 8i. The conversion went well, but I have finally gotten around to dealing with an annoying problem. The problem is that since the 8 conversion my sqlplus session returns the output from describe in a strange manner. The Name column for example is close to 200 characters long. I can control this by setting my sqlplus linesize to something more pedestrian than the 500 characters I have set in my login.sql.
The output of the describe command when describing a package is as expected, regardless of linesize. So in my opinion this is not a feature. Any chance any of you have run across this in the past? I am hoping a patch exists, because 8.1.6 is the final release for my OS platform. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Steve McClure INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
