Hello,

I have a table with below details:
SQL> select * from TM_xxx;

COL2 TEST_ROW_ID
---------- -----------
9.4436E+14 1
1.6578E+24 2

Table description:
SQL> describe TM_xxx
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- --------------------------

COL2 NUMBER(38)

How can i get data in column2 displayed as simple integer values and not exponential format

There are a few options I can think of, such as

SQL> create table test (col number(38));

Table created.

SQL> insert into test values (56465464654654654654);

1 row created.

SQL> select * From test;

       COL
----------
5,6465E+19

SQL> column col format 999999999999999999999999999999999
SQL> select * From test;

                               COL
----------------------------------
              56465464654654654654

SQL> set numformat 9999999999999999999999999
SQL> select * From test;

                       COL
--------------------------
      56465464654654654654

SQL> set numwidth 25
SQL> select * From test;

                      COL
-------------------------
     56465464654654654654

This:

pkapoor

SQL> select * from TM_xxx;

suggests that OP is using SQL*Plus /forum/fa/3314/0/

I should have been clearer. I'm sure the OP is using sqlplus here. I just wanted to make sure he (and anyone else reading this) realised that the problem was solely due to sqlplus settings rather than anything to do with DB and could only be fixed by adjusting those settings. You already knew that.
