I'm new to Oracle and I've installed Oracle Express Edition 11g on my laptop running Windows 8 operating system. I'd been told that the Enterprise Edition, which is not of course free, contains a predefined table called EMP. I've seen the table on my college computer. But the XE didn't come with it. So I googled it a found a script(.sql script) which contains all the predefined tables. I imported them using the @filepath/filename.sql. But when I used the
select * from emp;
it displayed the table incorrectly. I don't mean the records of the table, but the formatting of the table.
Now look at the DEPTNO and EMPNO columns.

The code in the sql script was following

I used the ed command to use notepad and did paste the code and saved it. Then I used the run command to import the table. Now my problem is to fix this thing. Thanks in advance. :) And it is my first post in any forum, so sorry if I didn't post it correctly.

your linesize is too small. run this in sql*plus:
set linesize 200
before you select from the table
