CCP505.35TO36 3
What are Data types
Data Types define the domain of values that each
column can contain or each argument can have.
CHAR
VARCHAR2
LONG
NUMBER
RAW
LONG RAW
DATE
CCP505.35TO36 4
CHAR
 This Data type is used to store the Fixed Length
Character data

 Default size is 1 byte

 Maximum size is 255 bytes

 CHAR (size);

CCP505.35TO36 5
VARCHAR 2
Data type is used to store the string type of
Character data having maximum length size
bytes

 Maximum size is 2000 bytes

 We must specify size for a VARCHAR2

 Varchar 2 (size)

CCP505.35TO36 6
LONG
This Data type is used to store the string type of
Character data having long length size

 Maximum size is 2 Gigabytes or 231-1

CCP505.35TO36 7
NUMBER
This Data type is used to store the Numeric type of

data having precision “p” and scales “s”

 The precision “p” indicates Integer part of Number

 The scale “s” indicates Decimal part of Number

NUMBER ( p,s )

CCP505.35TO36 8
RAW
This Data type is used to store the RAW binary
data of length size bytes

 Maximum size is 255 bytes

We must specify size for a RAW

RAW ( size )

CCP505.35TO36 9
LONG RAW
This Data type is used to store the RAW binary
data of long length size

 Maximum size is 2 Gigabytes

 LONG RAW

CCP505.35TO36 10
DATE
This Data type is used to store the “Date” type of

data

The valid Dates range from January1, 4712 BC to

December 31, 4712 AD.

DATE

CCP505.35TO36 11
