I can create table varchar2 column > 4000 in oracle 19c without setting max_string_size=extended

in Database Administration (MOSC) 10 commentsAnswered

I can create table varchar2 column > 4000 in oracle 19c without setting max_string_size=extended. I can create such table in Oracle 19c CDB, both root container and PDBs, but I can't do it in AWS RDS Oracle 19c non-CDB database.

However, Oracle documents said that in order to go beyond 4000 bytes for varchar2 column, we should change max_string_size parameter value from standard to extended and run utl32k.sql, but looks like varchar2 size can go beyond 4000 in 19c by default there is no need to do anything.

Is this the expected behavior with any support document?

Howdy, Stranger!
