连接虚拟列表达式中的数字会引发ORA-12899:值对于列来说太大

Question

虽然我昨天给出了一个问题的答案,但我建议使用VIRTUAL COLUMN来计算值而不是手动更新它.

我自己做了一个测试,并找出了在连接两个NUMBER类型列时虚拟列表达式所占用的数据大小的问题.虽然,在连接两个字符时没有问题.

数据库版本:

SQL> select banner from v$version where rownum = 1;

BANNER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition Release 12.1.0.1.0 - 64bit Production

测试用例1:连接字符串

SQL> CREATE TABLE t(
  2  ID varchar2(2),
  3  num varchar2(2),
  4  text VARCHAR2(10) generated always as (id||'_'||num) VIRTUAL
  5  );

Table created.

SQL>
SQL> INSERT INTO t(ID, num) VALUES ('a', 'e');

1 row created.

SQL> INSERT INTO t(ID, num) VALUES ('b', 'f');

1 row created.

SQL> INSERT INTO t(ID, num) VALUES ('c', 'g');

1 row created.

SQL>
SQL> SELECT * FROM T;

ID NU TEXT
-- -- ----------
a  e  a_e
b  f  b_f
c  g  c_g

因此,连接两个字符类型列没有问题.

测试用例2:连接数字

SQL> CREATE TABLE t(
  2  ID NUMBER,
  3  num NUMBER,
  4  text VARCHAR2(10) generated always as (to_char(id)||'_'||to_char(num)) VIRTUAL
  5  );
text VARCHAR2(10) generated always as (to_char(id)||'_'||to_char(num)) VIRTUAL
*
ERROR at line 4:
ORA-12899: value too large for column "TEXT" (actual: 10, maximum: 81)

不允许？咦!让我们增加尺寸 -

SQL> CREATE TABLE t(
  2  ID NUMBER,
  3  num NUMBER,
  4  text VARCHAR2(81) generated always as (to_char(id)||'_'||to_char(num)) VIRTUAL
  5  );

Table created.

SQL>
SQL> INSERT INTO t(ID, num) VALUES (1, 4);

1 row created.

SQL> INSERT INTO t(ID, num) VALUES (2, 5);

1 row created.

SQL> INSERT INTO t(ID, num) VALUES (3, 6);

1 row created.

SQL>
SQL> SELECT * FROM T;

        ID        NUM
---------- ----------
TEXT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         1          4
1_4

         2          5
2_5

         3          6
3_6


SQL> set linesize 200
SQL> SELECT * FROM T;

        ID        NUM TEXT
---------- ---------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         1          4 1_4
         2          5 2_5
         3          6 3_6

那么现在发生了什么？表已创建,但是当预期数据大小仅为3个字节时,为什么VIRTUAL COLUMN占用了那么多大小,但它需要81个字节.

检查长度,值是正确的,但是,数据大小要大得多.例如,我希望长度为3,所以我将列的大小声明为10个字节.但虚拟列表达式产生的值大小远大于此值.

SQL> CREATE TABLE t(
  2  ID NUMBER,
  3  num NUMBER,
  4  text VARCHAR2(10) generated always as (length(to_char(id)||'_'||to_char(num))) VIRTUAL
  5  );
text VARCHAR2(10) generated always as (length(to_char(id)||'_'||to_char(num))) VIRTUAL
*

Table created.

        ID        NUM TEXT

         1          4 3
         2          5 3
         3          6 3

SQL> clear columns
columns cleared
SQL> SELECT * FROM T;

        ID        NUM TEXT
---------- ---------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         1          4 3
         2          5 3
         3          6 3

任何见解都非常受欢迎.

UDPATE感谢Alex Poole.我没有想到隐式转换,所以我不关心明确表达CAST.那么,下面的作品 -

SQL> DROP TABLE t PURGE;

Table dropped.

SQL>
SQL> CREATE TABLE t(
  2  ID NUMBER,
  3  num NUMBER,
  4  text VARCHAR2(10) generated always as (cast(to_char(id)||'_'||to_char(num) as varchar2(3))) VIRTUAL
  5  );

Table created.

SQL>
SQL> INSERT INTO t(ID, num) VALUES (1, 4);

1 row created.

SQL> INSERT INTO t(ID, num) VALUES (2, 5);

1 row created.

SQL> INSERT INTO t(ID, num) VALUES (3, 6);

1 row created.

SQL>
SQL> SELECT * FROM T;

        ID        NUM TEXT
---------- ---------- ----------
         1          4 1_4
         2          5 2_5
         3          6 3_6

您的号码不受限制.对于单个数字(正数),您知道连续长度只能是三个,但虚拟列必须足够大才能显示任何数字 - 所以看起来它允许最多40个数字用于隐式格式模型(38位有效数字,小数分隔符和符号; @collspar的词汇化).

话虽如此,约束数列不会反映在虚拟列长度中 - 使两列NUMBER(1,0)仍然留下需要81个字符的串联.获取生成值的子字符串也不起作用,在这种情况下获取ORA-12899: value too large for column "TEXT" (actual: 10, maximum: 40).为每个to_char()调用提供一个格式模型,例如of FM999),可以工作,但是直接限制下划线两侧的值而不是整个长度.

如果要限制列大小,可以将其强制转换为相同的数据类型和大小,这更明确:

text VARCHAR2(10) generated always as 
    (cast(to_char(id)||'_'||to_char(num) as VARCHAR2(10))) VIRTUAL
