Re: Beyond the 1600 columns limit on windows

["Evandro's mailing lists (Please, don't send personal messages to this address)" <listasjr@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm doing a PhD in data mining and I need more than 1600 columns. I got an error message saying that I can not use more than 1600 columns.

 

It is happening because I have to change categorical values to binary creating new columns. Do you know if oracle can handle it?

I would like to know who on earth needs 1600 columns and even beyond?
Hint: you can have practically unlimited rows in your n:m table :-)
