I'm trying to compose a function to obtain MD5 hashes from bits I've gathered here and there. I want to obtain the lower-case hexadecimal representation of the hash. I have this so far: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION MD5 ( CADENA IN VARCHAR2 ) RETURN DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT.VARCHAR2_CHECKSUM AS BEGIN RETURN LOWER( RAWTOHEX( UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_RAW( DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT.MD5(INPUT_STRING => CADENA) ) ) ); END; I'm not sure about the return type of the function. DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT.VARCHAR2_CHECKSUM looks like the appropriate choice and as far as I can tell it works as expected but the package

I have .sql script file with DDL for more than 60 tables. I am trying to copy-paste the script into SQL Developer, connected to a database which is "Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production". Sample DDL Script: CREATE TABLE UserName."Table_Name" ( "Col1" NUMBER(*,0), "Col2" VARCHAR2(50 BYTE), "Col3" VARCHAR2(50 BYTE) ) SEGMENT CREATION DEFERRED PCTFREE 10 PCTUSED 40 INITRANS 1 MAXTRANS 255 NOCOMPRESS LOGGING TABLESPACE "USERS" ; Error report - SQL Error: ORA-00439: feature not enabled: Deferred Segment Creation 00439. 00000 - "feature not enabled: %s" *Cause:

How can I do so? I have just installed Oracle 11g XE, so there is not data except those required by Oracle itself. Gary This worked for me where an application was checking for UTF8 rather than AL32UTF8 .

I have installed oracle 10g express edition and I did not find the option to create schema.. Is there a option to create schema in oracle 10g express edition or else I have to install other oracle 10g..? To create schema which oracle 10g I have to install... what? You don't need to explicitly create schema, Oracle automatically creates a schema when you create a user (see CREATE USER documentation). If you really want, you can use CREATE SCHEMA statement and issue it through Oracle Express web interface or from SQL prompt. onkar The CREATE SCHEMA statement can include CREATE TABLE , CREATE

To make a long story short, I started getting ORA-00001 primary key violations and I tracked down the issue to the fact that some of my INSERT INTO statements were running twice. I then discovered that the offending commands had a C-style comment afterwards: WHENEVER SQLERROR EXIT FAILURE SET ECHO OFF SET HEADING OFF SET PAGESIZE 0 SET FEEDBACK OFF SET TIMING OFF SET TIME OFF SET TRIMSPOOL ON SET TRIMOUT ON SET LINESIZE 120 SET SQLBLANKLINES ON SET SERVEROUTPUT ON [...] INSERT INTO INF_FIELD (FIELD_ID, CATEGORY_ID, COLUMN_EXPRESSION, DISPLAY_NAME, SORT_ORDER) VALUES (17, 1, 'FOO.NAME', 'Name
