Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: 'bug' with describe command
Steve,
I have come across it but don't know a solution. The feature / bug is present in 8.1.7.1.4 and 8.1.7.2.5 on NT / W2K.
HTH,
Bruce Reardon

I have recently converted from 7.3.4 to 8i. The conversion went well, but I have finally gotten around to dealing with an annoying problem. The problem is that since the 8 conversion my sqlplus session returns the output from describe in a strange manner. The Name column for example is close to 200 characters long. I can control this by setting my sqlplus linesize to something more pedestrian than the 500 characters I have set in my login.sql.
The output of the describe command when describing a package is as expected, regardless of linesize. So in my opinion this is not a feature.
Any chance any of you have run across this in the past? I am hoping a patch exists, because 8.1.6 is the final release for my OS platform.
