关于Oracle中varchar2和dbms_output.put_line的长度限制问题小结

一. varchar2长度限制问题

1) 表字段创建最大长度：4000
SQL> CREATE TABLE t_test1(a VARCHAR2( 4000 )); --正确
Table created.
SQL> CREATE TABLE t_test2(a VARCHAR2( 4001 )); --错误
CREATE TABLE t_test2(a VARCHAR2(4001))
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00910: specified length too long for its datatype


2) plsql变量定义最大长度：32767
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE sp_test1 (p IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL ) --正确
IS
x_var VARCHAR2 ( 32767 );
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (p);
END;
/
Procedure created.
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE sp_test2 (p IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL ) --错误
IS
x_var2 VARCHAR2 ( 32768 );
BEGIN
NULL;
END;
/
Warning: Procedure created with compilation errors.
SQL> show error;
Errors for PROCEDURE SP_TEST2:
LINE/COL ERROR
-------- -----------------------------------------------------------------
3/23 PLS-00215: String length constraints must be in range (1 ..
32767)

3) plsql调用参数最大长度：65535
SQL> DECLARE
lv_test VARCHAR2 (32767);
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1 .. 32767
LOOP
lv_test := lv_test || '-';
END LOOP; 
sp_test1 (LENGTHB (lv_test || lv_test || ' 1 '));
END;
/
65535
SQL> DECLARE
lv_test VARCHAR2 (32767);
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1 .. 32767
LOOP
lv_test := lv_test || '-';
END LOOP;
sp_test1 (LENGTHB (lv_test || lv_test || ' 12 '));
END;
/
DECLARE
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
ORA-06512: at line 9

二. dbms_output.put_line长度限制问题

对于10g以上版本(包括10g), dbms_output.put_line的最大长度限制是 32767 . 如果报错buffer overflow, 执行如下语句即可:
set serveroutput ON SIZE UNLIMITED FORMAT WORD_WRAPPED

对于10g以下版本dbms_output.put_line最大长度限制是 255 .
