RE: default length for DATE datatype

Is this having an affect on your database's performance or is this
purely academic?

There is a default value specfied in the ddl script.  That what it is.
But it is the same default value. And the char sets are the same.
thanks.

Are the character sets the same on both databases?

How can the same table in two different databases have a different
DEFAULT_LENGTH  for the DATE datatype? One database is dev and the other
is UAT.  Both databases are on the same server and same oracle home
10.2.0.3.0 EE.
 
 

> select table_name, column_name , default_length from user_tab_columns
where table_name ='TABLE';
TABLE_NAME                     COLUMN_NAME
DEFAULT_LENGTH
------------------------------ ------------------------------
--------------
TABLE            PARTNER_ID
TABLE            EMAIL_ADDRESS
TABLE            START_DATE
22
TABLE            MARKETING_PREFERENCES_FLAG
TABLE            END_DATE
22
TABLE            SOURCE
6 rows selected.

TABLE_NAME                     COLUMN_NAME

TABLE            PARTNER_ID

TABLE            MARKETING_PREFERENCES_FLAG
TABLE            END_DATE
27
TABLE            SOURCE
