If you've programmed OCI in Oracle 7, you know that you the odescr()
function returns "dsize", that is, the maximum display size of a SELECT
list item if that item is returned as a character string.
In Oracle 8 OCI, the OCIAttrGet() function, which replaces odescr(),
seems unable to return this invaluable piece of information.
Do any of you know of a way to do this in Oracle 8, short of coding my
own, possibly error prone logic, of figuring this out for all possible
column types? Thanks.
