Production Deployment issue: changing column data type from Varchar2 to NVarchar2
Hi Guys,
I am facing issue on production deployment, its just need to change data type from Varchar2 to NVarchar2. As much i know DDL commands don't touch data rather just interact with Schema of object, i run a command "ALTER TABLE UMS.ums_usage_conf MODIFY (LDR_NAME NVARCHAR2(255), RES_NAME NVARCHAR2(60));" This command was taking about 18 hour to complete on DEV/QA Environment and failing after running 11 hours.
Its would be your great help if anyone of you may help giving me way to reduce deployment time.
Regards,
Rajeev Sharma
