[Quoted] I'm faily new to PL/SQL, so please bear with me if the answer to this is simple, but so far it eludes me:

[Quoted] How can I find the maximum length of a column within PL/SQL? For example, if the following column is defined as

Description VARCHAR2(99) within a table, is it possible to find that maximum limit (i.e. 99) from within a PL/SQL program?

Thanks!
