【12c】扩展数据类型（Extended Data Types）-- MAX_STRING_SIZE

在12c中，与早期版本相比，诸如VARCHAR2, NAVARCHAR2以及 RAW这些数据类型的大小会从4K以及2K字节扩展至32K字节。只要可能，扩展字符的大小会降低对LOB 数据类型的使用。为了启用扩展字符大小，你必须将MAX_STRING_SIZE的初始数据库参数设置为EXTENDED。

要使用扩展字符类型需要执行以下过程：
1.关闭数据库
2.以升级模式重启数据库
3.更改参数: ALTER SYSTEM SET MAX_STRING_SIZE=EXTENDED;
4.执行 utl32k.sql as sysdba :SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/utl32k.sql
5.关闭数据库
6.以读写模式重启数据库

在Oracle Database 12c中，我们可以为varchar2、nvarchar2和RAW数据类型指定32767 bytes 的最大长度了，以便用户将更长的字符串存储在数据库中。

在12c之前的版本中，varchar2和nvarchar2数据类型的最大长度是4000 bytes，而raw是2000 bytes。

varcha2、nvarchar2和raw字段的定义长度将影响字段的内部存储方式

定义为4000字节或更小的varchar2、nvarchar2以及2000字节或更小的raw字段，将被inline存放
定义为4000字节以上的varchar2、nvarchar2以及2000字节以上的raw字段的话，被称作extended character data type columns，以out of line方式存储。

参数MAX_STRING_SIZE控制扩展数据类型extended data type的最大长度：

STANDARD 代表12c之前的长度限制，即varchar2、nvarchar2 4000 bytes， raw 是2000 bytes
EXTENDED 代表12c 32k strings新特性，varchar2、nvarchar2、raw最大长度32k bytes

Extended character data types 扩展字符类型存在以下的限制：

不支持cluster table 簇表和index-organized tables索引组织表
不支持intrapartition的并行DDL、UPDATE和DELETE DML
不支持在Automatic Segment Space Management (ASSM)表空间上的intrapartition parallel direct-path inserts

为数据库配置扩展数据类型的步骤如下：

关闭数据库实例 shutodnw immediate，如果是RAC则需要关闭所有实例
以upgrade模式启动数据库实例 startup upgrade;
修改参数MAX_STRING_SIZE 为EXTENDED ALTER SYSTEM SET MAX_STRING_SIZE = EXTENDED;
运行 @?/rdbms/admin/utl32k
重启数据库实例

 @?/rdbms/admin/utl32k

必须要将MAX_STRING_SIZE 设置为EXTENDED 否则无法使用extended character data type columns 。

之后我们可以创建具体有extended character data type columns 的表了。

当然我们也可以将已有的VARCHAR2, NVARCHAR2, 和RAW字段修改其长度，具体使用ALTER TABLE MODIFY (COLUMN 命令。在此场景中Oracle将实施块中的长度扩展，而不将inline的存储迁移为以外部LOB存储。

实际上Oracle并不建议你广泛积极地将现有的varchar2的长度增加为4000 bytes以上，基于以下的原因：

很容易造成链式行row chaining
inline存储的数据行将被读取，不管该字段是否被select 。实际inline的扩展字符类型显然会一定程度上影响性能。
为了迁移到新的out-of-line的存储扩展字符类型方式，用户需要重建表。否则任何类型的表重新组织方式例如alter table move都将无法打破inline存储

用户可以将32k的字段加入到现有的堆表，具体使用ALTER TABLE ADD 的DDL语句。

Data Pump导入导出以及SQL*Loader均支持extended character data type columns。

现有字段上的索引无法实现数据类型扩展，所以必须先将字段上的索引drop掉，再修改为扩展长度，之后再重建索引。

Extended Data Types

Beginning with Oracle Database 12c, you can specify a maximum size of 32767 bytes for the VARCHAR2, NVARCHAR2, and RAW data types. You can control whether your database supports this new maximum size by setting the initialization parameter MAX_STRING_SIZE as follows:

If MAX_STRING_SIZE = STANDARD, then the size limits for releases prior to Oracle Database 12c apply: 4000 bytes for the VARCHAR2 and NVARCHAR2 data types, and 2000 bytes for the RAW data type. This is the default.
If MAX_STRING_SIZE = EXTENDED, then the size limit is 32767 bytes for the VARCHAR2, NVARCHAR2, and RAW data types.

Note:

Setting MAX_STRING_SIZE = EXTENDED may update database objects and possibly invalidate them. Refer to Oracle Database Reference for complete information on the implications of this parameter and how to set and enable this new functionality.

A VARCHAR2 or NVARCHAR2 data type with a declared size of greater than 4000 bytes, or a RAW data type with a declared size of greater than 2000 bytes, is an extended data type. Extended data type columns are stored out-of-line, leveraging Oracle's LOB technology. The LOB storage is always aligned with the table. In tablespaces managed with Automatic Segment Space Management (ASSM), extended data type columns are stored as SecureFiles LOBs. Otherwise, they are stored as BasicFiles LOBs. The use of LOBs as a storage mechanism is internal only. Therefore, you cannot manipulate these LOBs using the DBMS_LOB package.

Notes:

Oracle strongly discourages the use of BasicFiles LOBs as a storage mechanism. BasicFiles LOBs not only impose restrictions on the capabilities of extended data type columns, but the BasicFiles data type is planned to be deprecated in a future release.
Extended data types are subject to the same rules and restrictions as LOBs. Refer to Oracle Database SecureFiles and Large Objects Developer's Guide for more information.

Note that, although you must set MAX_STRING_SIZE = EXTENDED in order to set the size of a RAW data type to greater than 2000 bytes, a RAW data type is stored as an out-of-line LOB only if it has a size of greater than 4000 bytes. For example, you must set MAX_STRING_SIZE = EXTENDED in order to declare a RAW(3000) data type. However, the column is stored inline.

You can use extended data types just as you would standard data types, with the following considerations:

For special considerations when creating an index on an extended data type column, or when requiring an index to enforce a primary key or unique constraint, see "Creating an Index on an Extended Data Type Column".
If the partitioning key column for a list partition is an extended data type column, then the list of values that you want to specify for a partition may exceed the 4K byte limit for the partition bounds. See the list_partitionsclause of CREATE TABLE for information on how to work around this issue.
The value of the initialization parameter MAX_STRING_SIZE affects the following:
- The maximum length of a text literal. See "Text Literals" for more information.
- The size limit for concatenating two character strings. See "Concatenation Operator" for more information.
- The length of the collation key returned by the NLSSORT function. See NLSSORT.
- The size of some of the attributes of the XMLFormat object. See "XML Format Model" for more information.
- The size of some expressions in the following XML functions: XMLCOLATTVAL, XMLELEMENT, XMLFOREST, XMLPI, and XMLTABLE.

Oracle Built-in Data Types

The table that follows summarizes Oracle built-in data types. Refer to the syntax in the preceding sections for the syntactic elements. The codes listed for the data types are used internally by Oracle Database. The data type code of a column or object attribute is returned by the DUMP function.

Table 2-1 Built-in Data Type Summary

Code	Data Type	Description
1	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.

MAX_STRING_SIZE

Property	Description
Parameter type	String
Syntax	MAX_STRING_SIZE = { STANDARD \| EXTENDED }
Default value	STANDARD
Modifiable	ALTER SYSTEM ... SID='*'^Foot 1
Modifiable in a PDB	Yes
Basic	No
Oracle RAC	Multiple instances must use the same value.

^Footnote 1

Use ALTER SYSTEM only when the database is in UPGRADE mode, and run the utl32k.sql script afterward, as explained in this section.

MAX_STRING_SIZE controls the maximum size of VARCHAR2, NVARCHAR2, and RAW data types in SQL.

STANDARD means that the length limits for Oracle Database releases prior to Oracle Database 12c apply (for example, 4000 bytes for VARCHAR2 and NVARCHAR2, and 2000 bytes for RAW).

EXTENDED means that the 32767 byte limit introduced in Oracle Database 12c applies.

The COMPATIBLE initialization parameter must be set to 12.0.0.0 or higher to set MAX_STRING_SIZE = EXTENDED.

You can change the value of MAX_STRING_SIZE from STANDARD to EXTENDED. However, you cannot change the value of MAX_STRING_SIZE from EXTENDED to STANDARD.

By setting MAX_STRING_SIZE = EXTENDED, users are taking an explicit action that could introduce application incompatibility in their database. Applications that do not want to use the expanded data types can be rewritten for compatibility with either setting; for example, these applications could use explicit CASTs to fix the length of VARCHAR2 expressions during CREATE TABLE AS SELECT.

Altering MAX_STRING_SIZE will update database objects and possibly invalidate them, as follows:

Tables with virtual columns will be updated with new data type metadata for virtual columns of VARCHAR2(4000), 4000-byte NVARCHAR2, or RAW(2000) type.
- Functional indexes will become unusable if a change to their associated virtual columns causes the index key to exceed index key length limits. Attempts to rebuild such indexes will fail with ORA-01450: maximum key length exceeded.
Views will be invalidated if they contain VARCHAR2(4000), 4000-byte NVARCHAR2, or RAW(2000) typed expression columns.
Materialized views will be updated with new metadata VARCHAR2(4000), 4000-byte NVARCHAR2, and RAW(2000) typed expression columns

Increasing the Maximum Size of VARCHAR2, NVARCHAR2, and RAW Columns in a Non-CDB

To increase the maximum size of VARCHAR2, NVARCHAR2, and RAW columns in a non-CDB:

Shut down the database.
Restart the database in UPGRADE mode.
Change the setting of MAX_STRING_SIZE to EXTENDED.
Run the rdbms/admin/utl32k.sql script. You must be connected AS SYSDBA to run the script.
Restart the database in NORMAL mode.

Note:

The utl32k.sql script increases the maximum size of the VARCHAR2, NVARCHAR2, and RAW columns for the views where this is required. The script does not increase the maximum size of the VARCHAR2, NVARCHAR2, and RAW columns in some views because of the way the SQL for those views is written.
Run the rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql script to recompile invalid objects. You must be connected AS SYSDBA to run the script.

Increasing the Maximum Size of VARCHAR2, NVARCHAR2, and RAW Columns in a CDB

To increase the maximum size of VARCHAR2, NVARCHAR2, and RAW columns in a CDB and in all the PDBs in the CDB:

Connect to the CDB AS SYSDBA.
In the root, change the setting of MAX_STRING_SIZE to EXTENDED:
```
ALTER SESSION SET CONTAINER=CDB$ROOT;
ALTER SYSTEM SET max_string_size=extended SCOPE=SPFILE;
```
Note:

The root continues to use STANDARD semantics even after MAX_STRING_SIZE is set to EXTENDED. The reason for setting MAX_STRING_SIZE to EXTENDED in the root is so all the PDBs in the CDB can inherit the EXTENDED setting from the root.
Shut down the CDB.
Restart the CDB in UPGRADE mode.
```
startup upgrade;
```
Open all the PDBs in migrate mode and then exit the database:
```
ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE ALL OPEN UPGRADE;
EXIT;
```

Use the catcon.pl script to run the rdbms/admin/utl32k.sql script in the root and in all the PDBs in the CDB to increase the maximum size of the VARCHAR2, NVARCHAR2, and RAW columns. Enter the SYS password when prompted:

$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin

Note:

The utl32k.sql script increases the maximum size of the VARCHAR2, NVARCHAR2, and RAW columns for the views where this is required. The script does not increase the maximum size of the VARCHAR2, NVARCHAR2, and RAW columns in some views because of the way the SQL for those views is written.

Connect to the CDB AS SYSDBA and shut down the database.
Restart the CDB in NORMAL mode.
```
startup;

Open all the PDBs in the CDB:

ALTER PLUGGABLE DATABASE ALL OPEN READ WRITE;

Use the catcon.pl script to run the rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql script to recompile invalid objects in the root and in all the PDBs in the CDB. Enter the SYS password when prompted:
