Question

When I try to execute the SQL statment below in Oracle SQL Developer:

CREATE TABLE Nrom1Tab ( Sig TEXT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, 
   DocSubject TEXT,  
   DocClassification TEXT,  
   DepName VARCHAR, 
   OrgName TEXT,  
   FromInf  TEXT,   
   ToInf TEXT,    
   DateInf TEXT, 
   NoteInf TEXT );

It shows this error:

Answer 1

I’m not sure what the error message is, however

1. TEXT is not a valid data type in Oracle.
2. VARCHAR is a valid data type but you would need to specify the length (i.e. VARCHAR(10)) would allow up to 10 bytes of storage (assuming a default NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS of BYTE). It would generally be preferred to use the VARCHAR2 data type rather than VARCHAR as well.
