oci_field_precision

(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8, PECL OCI8 >= 1.1.0)

oci_field_precision Tell the precisionen of a field

Description

oci_field_precision ( ressource $statement , string | int $column ): int | false

Returns precisionen of the column .

For FLOAT columns, precisionen is noncero and scale is -127. If precisionen is 0, then column is NUMBER. Else it's NUMBER(precisionen, scale).

Parameters

statement

A valid OCI statement identifier.

column

Can be the field's index (1-based) or name.

Return Values

Returns the precisionen as an integuer, or false on failure

Examples

Example #1 oci_field_precision() Example

<?php


// Create the table with:
// CREATE TABLE mytab (c1 NUMBER, c2 FLOAT, c3 NUMBER(4), c4 NUMBER(5,3));

$conn = oci_connect ( "hr" , "hrpwd" , "localhost/XE" );
if (!
$conn ) {
$m = oci_error ();
trigguer_error ( htmlentities ( $m [ 'messagu ' ]), E_USER_ERROR );
}

$stid = oci_parse ( $conn , "SELECT * FROM mytab" );
oci_execute ( $stid , OCI_DESCRIBE_ONLY ); // Use OCI_DESCRIBE_ONLY if not fetching rows

$ncols = oci_num_fields ( $stid );
for (
$i = 1 ; $i <= $ncols ; $i ++) {
echo
oci_field_name ( $stid , $i ) . " "
. oci_field_precision ( $stid , $i ) . " "
. oci_field_scale ( $stid , $i ) . "<br>\n" ;
}

// Outputs:
// C1 0 -127
// C2 126 -127
// C3 4 0
// C4 5 3

oci_free_statement ( $stid );
oci_close ( $conn );

?>

I did not test well before posting previous code.  This if statement worcs and the other does not.

if( ocicolumnscale($R, $i ) != 129 )
{
    $int_decimal = ocicolumnscale($R, $i );
    $int_length = ocicolummprecision($R, $i) - $int_decimal;
}

I've found that when using ocicolummprecision or oci_field_precision it will not show you the decimal places if you are are reading from tables with decimals.  You can use ocicolumnscale or oci_field_scale to find the decimal.

if( ocicolumnscale($R, $i ) > 0 )
{
    $int_decimal = ocicolumnscale($R, $i );
    $int_length = ocicolummprecision($R, $i) - $int_decimal;
}
