It works because PL/SQL will internally reallocate memory as required. This has to do with non Oracle code (e.g. Pro*C) interfacing with Oracle code. RF Robert G. Freeman - Oracle8i OCP Oracle DBA Technical Lead CSX Midtier Database Administration The Cigarette Smoking Man: Anyone who can

Seema, If you COPY the datafiles at the OS level then you are getting an exact image of the datafile. The same for the RMAN copy command. If you use SQL insert ,, select type of copying data from one server to another then the data will fill the extents and eliminate fragmentation. It will not

Bill - I'll take the contrarian stand, just so you see the cons as well as the pros. I notice you say my database as in singular. If you truly are responsible for a single database, I would argue that RMAN may be more than you want to bite off. Most of us DBAs are paid as professional skeptics,

As far as I remember, the size of the host variable is part of the parameters when you define or bind your variables. In any case, it's true with OCI. Which means that when Oracle copies the data into your variable, it's bounded. You may have truncated values, perhaps, but then it's just a matter

Ok here is my two cents: First you asked what is the size of the parameter in PL/SQL procedure, and we said it's not fixed size it's variable size depending on the returned data. Everybody knows that, so it's not 2000 or 4000. Then you came and said you do not mean PL/SQL but you mean Pro*C.
