Measuring String Length in SQL

Published September 21, 2025 By Sai Sree Ram Gundepudi

Use LENGTH to measure the total size of your strings:

SELECT LENGTH('INV#8674767JSDEPOSIT PO12345678') AS str_length
FROM dual;

This helps validate whether parsing logic is correct and if input values have consistent lengths.
