Hi,

Consider I have tables like emp1, emp2, emp3, emp4
and i want a new column emp_address to all tables
try this code

declare
type my_table is table of varchar2(20);
v_table my_table;
str varchar2(100);
ctr number := 0;
begin
select tname bulk collect into v_table FROM TAB where tname LIKE 'EMP_';
FOR R IN V_TABLE.FIRST.. V_TABLE.LAST LOOP
STR := 'ALTER TABLE '||V_TABLE(R)||
' ADD ( EMP_ADDRESS VARCHAR2(50) ) ';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE STR;
CTR := CTR + 1;
END LOOP;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('TABLES ALTERED ARE : '||CTR);
END;

My problem is that i have 6 tables with a field called ID_PERSONA and this is a PK in all the table.

It is varchar2(17) and i want to change it to varchar2(25) in all tables. Unfortunely the tables has a lot of data. And I would like not load data again.

Thanks rampratap
Alex

Hi Alex

you can user modify clause in place of add .

like alter table emp1 modify (empno number(5));

you can not reduce the size or u can not change the data type
but very well u can increase the size without any loss of data

I believed that it was more difficult.
