Chris,
I just tried this in my 817 and 9203 databases and get different results
than you. Both my queries return a row like your 817 example - that is 5
chars in length.
Maybe you have a glogin.sql script that is setting a column length for you
in 92 but not in 817?

Different default 8i/9i column lengths when selecting pseudo columns...
This is the issue...
=20
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=20
8.1.7 SQL*Plus=20
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
SQL> select 'xxxxx' from dual;
'XXXX
-----
xxxxx
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=20
9.2.0 SQL*Plus=20
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=20
SQL> select 'xxxxx' from dual;
'XXXXX'
--------------------------------
xxxxx
How do I change the default behavior in 9i to "stop" the column at the
end of the last character of the pseudo columns (like 8i default)?
Thanks
