Oracle 23ai 表和视图的列最多支持到4096个

根据经验,oracle在以前常用版本中(包含oracle 19c),表和视图支持最大的列数量为1000,在oracle 23ai中允许支持最大列数量为4096,具体参见:23ai New Feature – Increased RDBMS Table/View Column Limit to 4096 (Doc ID 2947033.1),这里做了简单的试验,确认如果要支持4096列,需要设置max_columns=’EXTENDED’
准备测试表1000列、4096列和4097列

create table t_xff_col_1000(
col1 number,
col2 number,
col3 number,
col4 number,
……
col1000 number
);


create table t_xff_col_4096(
col1 number,
col2 number,
col3 number,
col4 number,
……
col4096 number
);

create table t_xff_col_4097(
col1 number,
col2 number,
col3 number,
col4 number,
……
col4097 number
);

[oracle@xifenfei ~]$ cat tab_col_4096.sql |grep col|grep -v xff|wc -l
4096
[oracle@xifenfei ~]$ cat tab_col_1000.sql |grep col|grep -v xff|wc -l
1000
[oracle@xifenfei ~]$ cat tab_col_4097.sql |grep col|grep -v xff|wc -l
4097

在max_columns为默认值的情况下(STANDARD)23ai版本中最多也只能支持1000列
