Database adapter update exception

Question

I have written BPEL process that polls view for data and sends the data to another database. Till this point it is working good. Then I created partner link to update status of column of base table(XYZ_TABLE) using operation UPDATE has total 90 columns (not view) as UNDER_PROCESS. I did mappings to primary coloum and status of XYZ_TABLE. When i run the process it is throwing below error. Please help resolve this error.

Hi there,
if you have 90 columns it is very likely that one of these is being passed a value that is too large.
Unfortunately the inserted value too large for column exception never tells you which column it is, so it is not fun.
But you can turn on logging to see the exact sql, and the bind values for each column. That should give you a clue.
To turn on logging go to your bpel console, manage bpel domain -> logging, and set either or both of these two for all dbadapter logging.
"...activation" DEBUG (inbound polling receive)
"...ws" DEBUG (outbound insert/select/update invoke)
Thanks
