Oracle: get the tablespace structure

The easiest method to get the tablespace structure is to use the dbms_metadata package:

SET linesize 200 LONG 50000 pagesize 5000 SELECT dbms_metadata.get_ddl(’TABLESPACE’,tablespace_name ) FROM dba_tablespaces WHERE tablespace_name IN ( ‘&your_tablespace’ );

Additionally, exp/imp (or expdp/impdp) utilities could be used. They could generate the DDL statements for all objects in the database, which could be [...]

Oracle: buffer overflow (ORU-10027)

Sometimes it’s necessary to show the output of the PL/SQL script. Usually the dbms_output package is used:

The second: use chr(39)

SELECT ‘This ‘ || CHR(39) || ‘ is quote’ [...]

SET serveroutput ON DECLARE event_level NUMBER; BEGIN dbms_output.enable(20000) ; FOR i IN 10000..33999 LOOP sys.dbms_system.read_ev(i,event_level); IF (event_level > 0) THEN dbms_output.put_line(’Event ‘||TO_CHAR(i)||’ set at level ‘|| TO_CHAR(event_level));
END IF;
END LOOP;
END;
