VARCHAR2(size [BYTE | CHAR])
Variable-length character string having maximum length size bytes or characters. You must specify size for VARCHAR2. Minimum size is 1 byte or 1 character. Maximum size is:
32767 bytes or characters if MAX_STRING_SIZE = EXTENDED
4000 bytes or characters if MAX_STRING_SIZE = STANDARD
Refer to Extended Data Types for more information on the MAX_STRING_SIZE initialization parameter.
BYTE indicates that the column will have byte length semantics. CHAR indicates that the column will have character semantics.
1
NVARCHAR2(size)
Variable-length Unicode character string having maximum length size characters. You must specify size for NVARCHAR2. The number of bytes can be up to two times size for AL16UTF16 encoding and three times size for UTF8 encoding. Maximum size is determined by the national character set definition, with an upper limit of:
32767 bytes if MAX_STRING_SIZE = EXTENDED
4000 bytes if MAX_STRING_SIZE = STANDARD
Refer to Extended Data Types for more information on the MAX_STRING_SIZE initialization parameter.
2
NUMBER [ (p [, s]) ]
Number having precision p and scale s. The precision p can range from 1 to 38. The scale s can range from -84 to 127. Both precision and scale are in decimal digits. A NUMBER value requires from 1 to 22 bytes.
2
FLOAT [(p)]
A subtype of the NUMBER data type having precision p. A FLOAT value is represented internally as NUMBER. The precision p can range from 1 to 126 binary digits. A FLOAT value requires from 1 to 22 bytes.
8
LONG
Character data of variable length up to 2 gigabytes, or 231 -1 bytes. Provided for backward compatibility.
12
DATE
Valid date range from January 1, 4712 BC, to December 31, 9999 AD. The default format is determined explicitly by the NLS_DATE_FORMAT parameter or implicitly by the NLS_TERRITORY parameter. The size is fixed at 7 bytes. This data type contains the datetime fields YEAR, MONTH, DAY, HOUR, MINUTE, and SECOND. It does not have fractional seconds or a time zone.
100
BINARY_FLOAT
32-bit floating point number. This data type requires 4 bytes.
101
BINARY_DOUBLE
64-bit floating point number. This data type requires 8 bytes.
180
TIMESTAMP [(fractional_seconds_precision)]
Year, month, and day values of date, as well as hour, minute, and second values of time, where fractional_seconds_precision is the number of digits in the fractional part of the SECOND datetime field. Accepted values of fractional_seconds_precision are 0 to 9. The default is 6. The default format is determined explicitly by the NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT parameter or implicitly by the NLS_TERRITORY parameter. The size is 7 or 11 bytes, depending on the precision. This data type contains the datetime fields YEAR, MONTH, DAY, HOUR, MINUTE, and SECOND. It contains fractional seconds but does not have a time zone.
181
TIMESTAMP [(fractional_seconds_precision)] WITH TIME ZONE
All values of TIMESTAMP as well as time zone displacement value, where fractional_seconds_precision is the number of digits in the fractional part of the SECOND datetime field. Accepted values are 0 to 9. The default is 6. The default date format for the TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE data type is determined by the NLS_TIMESTAMP_TZ_FORMAT initialization parameter. The size is fixed at 13 bytes. This data type contains the datetime fields YEAR, MONTH, DAY, HOUR, MINUTE, SECOND, TIMEZONE_HOUR, and TIMEZONE_MINUTE. It has fractional seconds and an explicit time zone.
231
TIMESTAMP [(fractional_seconds_precision)] WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE
All values of TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, with the following exceptions:
Data is normalized to the database time zone when it is stored in the database.
When the data is retrieved, users see the data in the session time zone.
The default format is determined explicitly by the NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT parameter or implicitly by the NLS_TERRITORY parameter. The size is 7 or 11 bytes, depending on the precision.
182
INTERVAL YEAR [(year_precision)] TO MONTH
Stores a period of time in years and months, where year_precision is the number of digits in the YEAR datetime field. Accepted values are 0 to 9. The default is 2. The size is fixed at 5 bytes.
183
INTERVAL DAY [(day_precision)] TO SECOND [(fractional_seconds_precision)]
Stores a period of time in days, hours, minutes, and seconds, where
day_precision is the maximum number of digits in the DAY datetime field. Accepted values are 0 to 9. The default is 2.
fractional_seconds_precision is the number of digits in the fractional part of the SECOND field. Accepted values are 0 to 9. The default is 6.
The size is fixed at 11 bytes.
23
RAW(size)
Raw binary data of length size bytes. You must specify size for a RAW value. Maximum size is:
32767 bytes if MAX_STRING_SIZE = EXTENDED
2000 bytes if MAX_STRING_SIZE = STANDARD
Refer to Extended Data Types for more information on the MAX_STRING_SIZE initialization parameter.
24
LONG RAW
Raw binary data of variable length up to 2 gigabytes.
69
ROWID
Base 64 string representing the unique address of a row in its table. This data type is primarily for values returned by the ROWID pseudocolumn.
208
UROWID [(size)]
Base 64 string representing the logical address of a row of an index-organized table. The optional size is the size of a column of type UROWID. The maximum size and default is 4000 bytes.
96
CHAR [(size [BYTE | CHAR])]
Fixed-length character data of length size bytes or characters. Maximum size is 2000 bytes or characters. Default and minimum size is 1 byte.
BYTE and CHAR have the same semantics as for VARCHAR2.
96
NCHAR[(size)]
Fixed-length character data of length size characters. The number of bytes can be up to two times size for AL16UTF16 encoding and three times size for UTF8 encoding. Maximum size is determined by the national character set definition, with an upper limit of 2000 bytes. Default and minimum size is 1 character.
112
CLOB
A character large object containing single-byte or multibyte characters. Both fixed-width and variable-width character sets are supported, both using the database character set. Maximum size is (4 gigabytes - 1) * (database block size).
112
NCLOB
A character large object containing Unicode characters. Both fixed-width and variable-width character sets are supported, both using the database national character set. Maximum size is (4 gigabytes - 1) * (database block size). Stores national character set data.
113
BLOB
A binary large object. Maximum size is (4 gigabytes - 1) * (database block size).
114
BFILE
Contains a locator to a large binary file stored outside the database. Enables byte stream I/O access to external LOBs residing on the database server. Maximum size is 4 gigabytes.
