I have table which has two cols in it like below: create table test (col1 number(20), col2 number(20)); Table created.

Now, I have a situation where I need to create a view on this table with three columns and third column is sum of first and second columns.

create view test_view (col1, col2, col3) as select col1, col2, col1+col2 from test;
View created.

check this out when I describe the view : desc test_view

 Name                   Null? Type
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 COL1              NUMBER(20)
 COL2              NUMBER(20)
 COL3              NUMBER

The Length of third column is missing , could anybody throw some light on this issue ..
