Possible to change the size

miniSep 13 2011 — edited Feb 26 2013
Hi friends,

I have a 10 columns in the back end table which is of varchar or number. Let us assume the size of those fields like varchar2(250) and number(50) for all those 10 columns.

My requirement in the sense i ned to change the size of those fields in the front end form in the APEX. Suppose if i want to change the size of the five fields, out of 10 fields.

This is the original size of those five fields, in the back end table
A--->varchar2(250)
B--->varchar2(250)
C--->varchar2(250)
D--->varchar2(250)
E--->varchar2(250)
I want to change those fields size like the below in the front end of the application in APEX Form
A->varchar2(20)
B->varchar2(50)
C->varchar2(25)
D->varchar2(10)
E->varchar2(60)
The item size change that i made, has to be temporary for the APEX Front end form and it should not affect the original size of the field which is in database.

Suppose example

If the original size of the column in the database table is 200 means, hence in the Front end form in APEX i would like to change the column size to 50. But this change in the front end should not affect the column size in the database table 200.

This 50 size of the column has to be temporarily for the front end APEX form only.

Whether it is possible to achieve it in APEX(column size variation)

Thanks

Brgds,
Mini
