I have a database where I want to execute this SQL query:
ALTER TABLE PARAM_DEF MODIFY UNIT VARCHAR2(400 BYTES);
In SQL Server it works without any problem but in Oracle I get this error:
Error report -
SQL Error: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
00907. 00000 - "missing right parenthesis"
Why does it not work at my Oracle database?
The keywords for character length semantics are CHAR
and BYTE
- not BYTES
, so just correct that to:
ALTER TABLE PARAM_DEF MODIFY UNIT VARCHAR2(400 BYTE);
Demo:
create table param_def (unit varchar2(200 byte));
Table PARAM_DEF created.
ALTER TABLE PARAM_DEF MODIFY UNIT VARCHAR2(400 BYTE);
Table PARAM_DEF altered.
desc param_def
Name Null? Type
---- ----- -------------
UNIT VARCHAR2(400)
Remove bytes
in varchar2
ALTER TABLE PARAM_DEF MODIFY
UNIT VARCHAR2(400);
