Oracle 11.2.0.1关于NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS的一个Bug

这段时间在做数据迁移,需要从10g的ZHS16GBK字符集的数据库里面迁移数据到11g的UTF8字符的数据库,并且源数据库的NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS参数值为Byte,目标端的NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS参数值为CHAR。如果直接从源使用exp/expdp导出数据,然后使用imp/impdp导入数据到目标的话,可能会出现数据超长的情况,这时候就不好搞了,因此我就使用了中转的方式。即,把源数据导入到NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS参数值为CHAR的ZHS16GBK字符集的中转数据库中,然后再从中转数据库中导出数据并导入到目标数据库中。

:这样做是有条件的,源数据库中没有长度超过4000/3个中文字符的CHAR/VARCHAR2字段,原因看这里

继续这个问题,之所以这么做,目的是为了在数据部超长的情况得到CHAR/VARCHAR2类型字段以CHAR存储的数据。

根据Oracle的定义,NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS参数可以在三个层次生效:数据库级、实例级、会话级,并且生效的优先顺序为会话级>实例级>数据库级。

但是,我发现了一个问题:不管把NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS在那个级别设置为CHAR,在Oracle 11.2.0.1中,新导入表都不会使用CHAR做为CHAR/VARCHAR2等数据类型的存储单位,而是一律使用默认的Byte,除非源数据就已经指定了CHAR。

请看如下实验过程,全过程均使用普通用户,因为NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS参数对sys用户无效:


先查看NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS参数,Database、Instance和Session都设置为CHAR
srcbdb@SYS> select * from nls_session_parameters where PARAMETER='NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS';

PARAMETER                      VALUE
------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS           CHAR
srcbdb@SYS> select * from nls_instance_parameters where PARAMETER='NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS';

PARAMETER                      VALUE
------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS           CHAR
srcbdb@SYS> select * from nls_database_parameters where PARAMETER='NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS';

PARAMETER                      VALUE
------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS           CHAR

然后倒入数据

 MONEY_TYPE                                                                                                          VARCHAR2(3)                      <--------------   这说明表是以Byte存储VARCHAR2数据类型的。
 TO_RMB_RATE                                                                                                         NUMBER(15,7)
 TO_USD_RATE                                                                                                         NUMBER(15,7)

我们再新建一个表看一下,注意,不显示指定CHAR或者Byte,数据使用默认值!

srcbdb@VIP> create table lzb (col1 char(10),col2 varchar2(10));

Table created.

srcbdb@VIP> desc lzb
 Name                                                                                                              Null?    Type
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 COL1                                                                                                                CHAR(10 CHAR)                   <--------------   这时候发现已经自动使用了CHAR。
 COL2                                                                                                                VARCHAR2(10 CHAR)

结论:在11.2.0.1里面,对于使用imp/impdp工具导入的数据,nls_length_semantics不生效!

我不知道这是不是Oracle的Bug,看官也可以帮我求证一下!!!!
