I would agree 100%, but the script owner asked me "look into" the Oracle
difference.
So let just stop this logical thought right there. :O|
>>- Change CURSOR_SHARING to EXACT.
Yup...had this issue with another database...but not the issue this
time.

The glogin.sql was the first place I looked...using the default 9i
glogin.sql script?
AND I competed the difference between my 8i and 9i glogin.sql scripts
only 4 diff's and I set or tried setting the equal...no help!?
Thanks for the test...I'm going to test on a different set of servers?

one more idea comes to mind: are you using cursor sharing, by any chance? see Metalink, bug 2092801, for an issue that might hit you ...
the workarounds listed in that bug are:
- Use the FORMAT command to set explicit column widths. - Change CURSOR_SHARING to EXACT. - Flush the shared pool.

Chris,
I just tried this in my 817 and 9203 databases and get different results than you. Both my queries return a row like your 817 example - that is 5 chars in length.
Maybe you have a glogin.sql script that is setting a column length for you in 92 but not in 817?

Different default 8i/9i column lengths when selecting pseudo columns...
This is the issue...

How do I change the default behavior in 9i to "stop" the column at the end of the last character of the pseudo columns (like 8i default)?
Thanks
