Hi tom, how to decode the atttypmod field........when i allocate 10 it shows it as 14 n for 20 it shows it as 24.......my problem is not just with varchar........it is for all fields that has variable length .........the same atttypmod returns -1 for integer? am confused........
I want the size allocated for each field i a table whether its a var-length or fixed length........
