- String or binary data would be truncated. ERROR

was wondering if anyone is getting this error. i created a new function and for 1 of the values i get this error. i'm not sure if this is related to rounding issues but can anyone shed some light

Hi Elmer,
I would request you to first change the name of the variable.
*function ACTBUD1(%MYACC%)
(+(Account.%MYACC%,Scenario.Actual) - (Account.%MYACC%,Scenario.Budget))
*endfunction

"String or binary data would be truncated" and field specifications

Hi all,
i have "String or binary data would be truncated" error when i try to execute an insert statment.
can i find witch field is affected by this error? (for return it to the user)
thank's all

As far as I am aware, there's no way to determine which column's length has been exceeded.
You should add code into your stored procedure to check the lengths of variables before inserting their values into your tables, raising an error if necessary - see the example below.
Again I stress that it would be better to modify the client application's code to either warn the user or to limit the number of characters they can enter into a field.

Sporadically getting error "string or binary data would be truncated" in SQL server 2008 while inserting in a Table Type object

I am facing a strange SQL exception:-
The code flow is like this:
.Net 4.0 --> Entity Framework --> SQL 2008 ( StoredProc --> Function {Exception})
In the SQL Table-Valued Function, I am selecting a column (nvarchar(50)) from an existing table and (after some filtration using inner joins and where clauses) inserting the values in a Table Type Object having a column (nvarchar(50))
This flow was working fine in SQL 2008 but now all of sudden the Insert into @TableType is throwing  "string or binary data would be truncated" exception.
Insert Into @ObjTableType
Select * From dbo.Table
The max length of data in the source column is 24 but even then the insert statement into nvarchar temp column is failing.
Moreover, the same issue started coming up few weeks back and I was unable to find the root cause, but back then it started working properly after few hours
(issue reported at 10 AM EST and was automatically resolved post 8 PM EST). No refresh activity was performed on the database.
This time however the issue is still coming up (even after 2 days) but is not coming up in every scenario. The data set, for which the error is thrown, is valid and every value in the function is fetched from existing tables.
Due to its sporadic nature, I am unable to recreate it now :( , but still unable to determine why it started coming up or how can i prevent such things to happen again.
It is difficult to even explain the weirdness of this bug but any help or guidance in finding the root cause will be very helpful.
I also Tried by using nvarchar(max) in the table type object but it didn't work.
Here is a code similar to the function which I am using:

I have tried by converting the columns and also validated the input data set for any white spaces or special characters.
For the same input data, it was working fine till yesterday but suddenly it started throwing the exception.

Remember, the CTE isn't executing the SQL exactly in the order you read it as a human (don't get too picky about that statement, it's at least partly true enough to say it's partly true), nor are the line numbers or error messages easy to read: a mismatch
in any of the joins along the way leading up to your insert could be the cause too. I would suggest posting the table definition/DDL for:
- PSMetadata, in particular PSRowID, but just post it all
- tblProjectSur, in particularcolumns CSymbID and TblProjSurSurID
- cSymbLookup, in particular column CSymbID
- PSRow, in particular columns SampleRowID, PID,
- PSAuser and PSUserSur, in particualr all the USERID and RowID columns
- SurCSymbs, in particular colum SIDs
Also, a diagnostic query along these lines, repeat for each of your tables, each of the columns used in joins leading up to your insert:
Select count(asurv.sid) as count all
, count(case when asurv.sid between 0 and 9999999999 then 1 else null end) as ctIsaNumber
from SurvCsymb
The sporadic nature would imply that the optimizer usually chooses one path to the data, but sometimes others, and the fact that it occurs during the insert could be irrelevant, any of the preceding joins could be the cause, not the data targeted to be inserted.

Synch Error: String or binary data would be truncated.

I kicked off an inital synch for WebTools 2007 (may also be an issue in 596) and I had 1 synch error for SBOPartner:
String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.
   at netpoint.api.data.DataFunctions.Execute(String SQL, IDataParameter[] parameters, String connectionstring)
   at netpoint.api.NPBase.MarkSynched(String SynchID)
   at NetPoint.SynchSBO.SBOObjects.SBOPartner.SBOToNetPoint(SBOQueueObject qData)
   at NetPoint.SynchSBO.SynchObjectBase.Synch()
I traced the sql log and found the problem was related to addresses. The synchid only allows 50 characters but my synchid was 51 characters (COMINF, Communication Infrastructure Corporation, S). Anyway, to fix I modified the table to allow 100 characters and reran the synch. I know an upgrade will set it back to 50 but at least it's working now.
I tried to post this to support as a bug but I couldn't figure out how (as usual) or the authorization stuff changed so I figured I would post it here so hopefully the devs will see this and update the code.
Steve

Thanks Shawn ... My version of Netpoint is 2007.0.620.0 and the synch manager is 2007.0.620.35247. I'm not sure what patch level this means I am on though.

String or binary Data would be truncated. Error detected by database DLL

Having problems generating two reports in Crystal Reports v8.5. I can run it on my machine and one on one of my Terminal Server(TermA). However when I tried to generate the same two reports on my second terminal server(TermB), it crashed and I get the following error messages: ODBC error: String or binary data would be truncated and Error detected by database DLL We have one set user ID and password to generate all of our Crystal Reports.
Steps taken:
Reinstall Crystal on TermB server and did a fresh installation of Crystal 8.5 on another workstation. Ran the reports and the result were the same (unable to generate the report) same errors messages.
Please HELP...
Thanks.

Terminal Server was not supported in CR 8.5

String or binary data would be truncated - different service packs on publisher vs distributor

We have transactional replication where the publisher is 10.0.4067 and the distributor is 10.0.4000. The distribution agent will periodically will fail with the following error: String
or binary data would be truncated
SQLSTATE 22001] (Error 8152). The tables on the publisher and subscriber are all the same data type. Could the version difference be causing this issue? Do we need
to upgrade the distributor sql server (different server than the publication server)?

Hello,
Just as others post above, the difference service pack version between publisher and distributor should not cause this issue.The replication workfolw between publisher and distributor is through the Log Reader Agent which
runs at the Distributor, it reads the publication transaction log in publisher and copies those transactions in batches to the distribution database at the Distributor.
You can refer to the following thread which about the similar issue casused by a long stored procedure:

String or binary data would be truncated.

Anyone know why I would get this error when trying to place binary data into a sql server 2000 db? The file's length is 5512, and the length of the field I'm putting it in is 8000.
Thanks

That returns the length in bytes. Is the database field defined in bytes or bits?

Getting the following error on one link on a specific website, Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e57' [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]String or binary data would be truncated. /include/config.inc, line 131

The link is to the forum page within the members login area. I have no trouble with anything else on this site and others do not have problems accessing the forum. They suggest it is an internet issue

OK, well you usually need to wrap reserved words in double quotes. But I see that you are already using another reserved work "user" and wrapping that in square brackets so you could try that.
MM_fldUserAuthorization = "[group]"
If the person that built the data model is still there, let them know they've been using very common reserved words. Any word that is part of the SQL language itself should never be used.

Extracting strings from binary data

Hello,
I am trying to extract string from a binary file.
At the unix command line (sunos) I can just type;
strings <filename>
This is a nice way to get a list of the contents of a directory.
Is there a way in pl/sql to extract strings from binary data ? An equiv to strings on unix/linux ?
Thanks in advance.
Ben

Hi,
If you do want to list the contents of a directory, there are other ways to do it. Here's a base implementation of a utility I wrote:
create or replace and resolve java source named "Util" as
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
public class Util {
    public static void listFiles(String directory, oracle.sql.ARRAY[] names)
        throws IOException, SQLException {
        File f = new File(directory);
        if(f==null)
            throw new IOException("Directory: "+directory+" does not exist.");
        String[] files = f.list(
            new FilenameFilter() {
                public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
                    // List all files
                    return true;
        Connection conn = new OracleDriver().defaultConnection();
        ArrayDescriptor descriptor = ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor("VC_TAB_TYPE", conn);
        names[0] = new ARRAY(descriptor, conn, files);
        return;
create or replace type vc_tab_type is table of varchar2(255);
create or replace package util authid current_user as
    function list_files(p_directory in varchar2)
        return vc_tab_type;
end;
create or replace package body util as
    procedure list_files (
        p_directory in varchar2
        , p_filenames out nocopy vc_tab_type
    is
    language java
    name 'Util.listFiles(java.lang.String, oracle.sql.ARRAY[])';
    function list_files(p_directory in varchar2) return vc_tab_type
    is
        l_filenames vc_tab_type := vc_tab_type();
    begin
        list_files(p_directory, l_filenames);
        return l_filenames;
    end;
end;
/You can then query the filesystem as follows:
1 select column_value as filename
2 from table(util.list_files('c:\windows'))
3 where column_value like '%.log'

DG4ODBC: STRING DATA, RIGHT TRUNCATION ERROR WHILE ACCESSING VARCHAR(MAX) COLUMN

Problem Summary
DG4ODBC: STRING DATA, RIGHT TRUNCATION ERROR WHILE ACCESSING VARCHAR(MAX) COLUMN
Driver
Microsoft® ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server® - RedHat Linux
Problem Description
When selecting a MS SQL VARCHAR (max) column over a ODBC Gateway database connection I am getting this error from Oracle:
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server]String data, right truncation {01004}
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server]String data, right truncation {01004}
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server]String data, right truncation {01004}
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server]String data, right truncation {01004}
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server]String data, right truncation {01004}
ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from <LINK_NAME>
The ODBC driver should map the varchar(max) column to SQL_LONGVARCHAR which would be appropriate for Oracle but the column is getting truncated
Issue
By default the SQL Server ODBC driver exposes the varchar(max) data type as a SQL_VARCHAR. When reporting the maximum size of a varchar(max) column, the driver returns 0, which is the Microsoft convention for "unlimited".
[ODBC][25518][1399527750.588980][SQLDescribeCol.c][497]
Exit:[SQL_SUCCESS]
Column Name = [raw_response]
Data Type = 0x7fffe3cbe1a4 -> 12
Column Size = 0x7fffe3cbe158 -> 0
Decimal Digits = 0x7fffe3cbe1ac -> 0
Nullable = 0x7fffe3cbe1b0 -> 1
DG4ODBC is unable to interpret a zero length as an "unlimited" size and returns an error when retrieving varchar(max) data.
FreeTDS and DataDirect ODBC drivers return SQL_LONGVARCHAR instead of SQL_VARCHAR with 0 precision. So there is no problem reported for these drivers.
Is there a fix for this or is the Microsoft ODBC driver team working on a fix for the driver regarding varchar(max)?

James

Errors in binary data

Hi
I am getting some errors in the binary data I am reading over a serial link using the vi attached.
The vi removes the first seven characters (which are not part of the data string) then converts the binary data to an array of unsigned 16 bit integers.
There is a regular pattern to the error- every 10th number in the array has an error.
I am very confused and was wondering if anybody has experienced a similar problem.
Many thanks
Ash

Hi,
so are you saying that if you set the instrument you're talking to to return the hex data as ascii versions (i.e. the text "002D" = a 4 byte transmit, rather than 002D a 2byte transmit (or two characters) you get the correct expected data?
As we can see from the data you've included, the 00's are there in the actual original data set, which I'm guessing is why Altenbach was asking if that was the numbers you were expecting.
The start of your actual read string is (using the slash code view) \r\nbin,\00\00,v$v\16 so to get to the first element, you need to skip the first 8 characters to be left at the ,v as the first word you're dealing with. You're currently skipping to position 7 which is \00, or 44 in hex as a word.
Is the ,v definitely the first word, or is it the v$ or the \00v and if you say that the message is
bin,<first word msb><first word lsb>...<last word lsb><CR>
then you should probably do a search for "bin," and work from the offset instead. That means your first two data elements would be 00 (or 0 as a word) then the ,v
The alternative would be to assume the \r\n on the end, and stipr that off the message. Reverse the string, and then typecast. Swap the byte order in the array of U16's, and then reverse the array again. Sounds like you're not gaining anything, but if the instrument definitely transmist as you have put it, then you would be guaranteeing the integrity of the message in words (2 bytes). (When I did this on your message, I got the same as your strip method of pulling off the first 7 elements)
Would that make more sense? What is the source of the message?
Thanks

How to set a string input to accept only 1 and 0 (binary data)

Hi
I want to write a program that is supposed to take only binary data from the user. So I put a string control onto the front panel, wanting the user to be able to only type 1 or 0 in it. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks

Jean-Pierre Drolet wrote:
Another slight flaw is that the string accepts Enter for a new line. It is easily fixed by setting it to "Limit to single line".
True, it allows any non-ASCII through. Another solution would be to use some logical combination of VKey and Char, but it could get complicated. One of the simpler ways is the use of scancode and shift, as in the attached modification. Now ENTER, etc. is also discarded.
I also agree that none of this seems appropriate to enter 4000 "0/1" characters on a fromt panel.
