Alter mount database failing: Intel SVR4 UNIX Error: 79: Value too large for defined data type

Hi there,
I am having a kind of weird issues with my oracle enterprise db which was perfectly working since 2009. After having had some trouble with my network switch (replaced the switch) the all network came back and all subnet devices are functioning perfect.
This is an NFS for oracle db backup and the oracle is not starting in mount/alter etc.
Here the details of my server:
- SunOS 5.10 Generic_141445-09 i86pc i386 i86pc
- Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.2.0
- 38TB disk space (plenty free)
- 4GB RAM
And when I attempt to start the db, here the logs:

We have already checked in everywhere in the system, got oracle support as well without success. The control files are in the place and checked with strings, they are correct.
Can somebody give a clue please?
Maybe somebody had similar issue here....
Thanks in advance.

Did the touch to update the date, but no joy either....
These are further logs, so maybe can give a clue:

Does anyone have ideas about cause of this error? Server normally worked more than 6 month with periodic restarts...

Hi,
You could get error messages like that if you try to access a file larger than 2GB on a 32-bit OS. Do you have HUGE log files?

'Value too large for defined data type' error while running flexanlg

While trying to run flexanlg to analyze my access log file I have received the following error:
Could not open specified log file 'access': Value too large for defined data type
The command I was running is
${iPLANET_HOME}/extras/flexanlg/flexanlg -F -x -n "Web Server" -i ${TMP_WEB_FILE} -o ${OUT_WEB_FILE} -c hnrfeuok -t s5m5h5 -l h30c+5 -p ctl
Which should generate a html report of the web statistics
The file has approx 7 Million entries and is 2.3G in size
Ideas?

I've concatenated several files together from my web servers as I wanted a single report, several reports based on individual web servers is no use.

Inserted value too large for column Error

I have this table:
CREATE TABLE SMt_Session
     SessionID int NOT NULL ,
     SessionUID char (36) NOT NULL ,
     UserID int NOT NULL ,
     IPAddress varchar2 (15) NOT NULL ,
     Created timestamp NOT NULL ,
     Accessed timestamp NOT NULL ,
     SessionInfo nclob NULL
and this insert from a sp (sp name is SMsp_SessionCreate):
     Now := (SYSDATE);
     SessionUID := SYS_GUID();
     /*create the session in the session table*/
     INSERT INTO SMt_Session
               ( SessionUID ,
               UserID ,

               SMsp_SessionCreate.Now ,
               SMsp_SessionCreate.Now );
It looks like the param SessionUID is the one with trouble, but the length of sys_guid() is 32, and my column has 36.
IPAddress is passed to the sp with value '192.168.11.11', so it should fit.
UserID is 1.
I am confused, what is the column with problem ?

Update trigger fails with value too large for column error on timestamp

Hello there,
I've got a problem with several update triggers. I've several triggers monitoring a set of tables.
Upon each update the updated data is compared with the current values in the table columns.
If different values are detected the update timestamp is set with the current_timestamp. That
way we have a timestamp that reflects real changes in relevant data. I attached an example for
that kind of trigger below. The triggers on each monitored table only differ in the columns that
are compared.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER T_ava01_obj_cont
BEFORE UPDATE on ava01_obj_cont
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
v_changed boolean := false;
BEGIN
IF NOT v_changed THEN
    v_changed := (:old.cr_adv_id IS NULL AND :new.cr_adv_id IS NOT NULL) OR
                 (:old.cr_adv_id IS NOT NULL AND :new.cr_adv_id IS NULL)OR
                 (:old.cr_adv_id IS NOT NULL AND :new.cr_adv_id IS NOT NULL AND :old.cr_adv_id != :new.cr_adv_id);
END IF;
IF NOT v_changed THEN
    v_changed := (:old.is_euzins_relevant IS NULL AND :new.is_euzins_relevant IS NOT NULL) OR
                 (:old.is_euzins_relevant IS NOT NULL AND :new.is_euzins_relevant IS NULL)OR
                 (:old.is_euzins_relevant IS NOT NULL AND :new.is_euzins_relevant IS NOT NULL AND :old.is_euzins_relevant != :new.is_euzins_relevant);
END IF;
[.. more values being compared ..]
    IF v_changed THEN
    :new.update_ts := current_timestamp;
END IF;
END T_ava01_obj_cont;Really relevant is the statement
:new.update_ts := current_timestamp;So far so good. The problem is, it works the most of time. Only sometimes it fails with the following error:
SQL state [72000]; error code [12899]; ORA-12899: value too large for column "LGT_CLASS_AVALOQ"."AVA01_OBJ_CONT"."UPDATE_TS"
(actual: 28, maximum: 11)
I can't see how the value systimestamp or current_timestamp (I tried both) should be too large for
a column defined as TIMESTAMP(6). We've got tables where more updates occur then elsewhere.
Thats where the most of the errors pop up. Other tables with fewer updates show errors only
sporadicly or even never. I can't see a kind of error pattern. It's like that every 10.000th update
or less failes.
I was desperate enough to try some language dependend transformation like
IF v_changed THEN
    l_update_date := systimestamp || '';
    select value into l_timestamp_format from nls_database_parameters where parameter = 'NLS_TIMESTAMP_TZ_FORMAT';
    :new.update_ts := to_timestamp_tz(l_update_date, l_timestamp_format);
END IF;to be sure the format is right. It didn't change a thing.
We are using Oracle Version 10.2.0.4.0 Production.
Did anyone encounter that kind of behaviour and solve it? I'm now pretty certain that it has to
be an oracle bug. What is the forum's opinion on that? Would you suggest to file a bug report?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards
Jan

SQL Error: ORA-12899: value too large for column

Hi,
I'm trying to understand the above error. It occurs when we are migrating data from one oracle database to another:
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-12899: value too large for column "USER_XYZ"."TAB_XYZ"."COL_XYZ" (actual: 10, maximum: 8)
12899. 00000 - "value too large for column %s (actual: %s, maximum: %s)"
*Cause:    An attempt was made to insert or update a column with a value
which is too wide for the width of the destination column.
The name of the column is given, along with the actual width
of the value, and the maximum allowed width of the column.
Note that widths are reported in characters if character length
semantics are in effect for the column, otherwise widths are
reported in bytes.
*Action:   Examine the SQL statement for correctness. Check source
and destination column data types.
Either make the destination column wider, or use a subset
of the source column (i.e. use substring).
The source database runs - Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production
The target database runs - Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production
The source and target table are identical and the column definitions are exactly the same. The column we get the error on is of CHAR(8). To migrate the data we use either a dblink or oracle datapump, both result in the same error. The data in the column is a fixed length string of 8 characters.
To resolve the error the column "COL_XYZ" gets widened by:
alter table TAB_XYZ modify (COL_XYZ varchar2(10));
-alter table TAB_XYZ succeeded.
We now move the data from the source into the target table without problem and then run:
select max(length(COL_XYZ)) from TAB_XYZ;
-8
So the maximal string length for this column is 8 characters. To reduce the column width back to its original 8, we then run:
alter table TAB_XYZ modify (COL_XYZ varchar2(8));
-Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-01441: cannot decrease column length because some value is too big
01441. 00000 - "cannot decrease column length because some value is too big"
*Cause:
*Action:
So we leave the column width at 10, but the curious thing is - once we have the data in the target table, we can then truncate the same table at source (ie. get rid of all the data) and move the data back in the original table (with COL_XYZ set at CHAR(8)) - without any issue.
My guess the error has something to do with the storage on the target database, but I would like to understand why. If anybody has an idea or suggestion what to look for - much appreciated.
Cheers.

Use SQL Reference for datatype specification, length function, etc.

Install fails due to ORA-12899: value too large for column

Hi,
Our WCS 11g installation on Tomcat 7 fails giving a "ORA-12899: value too large for column".
As per the solution ticket https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocumentDisplay?id=1539055.1 we have to set "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" in tomcat.
We have done this beforehand by setting the variable in catalina.bat in tomcat 7 bin as shown below
But still we get the same error while installation.
If anybody has faced this , let us know how you resolved it

We were unable to install WCS on Tomcat 7 but on Tomcat 6 by specifying "-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" in java options using "Tomcat Configure" it was succesful.
An alternative we found was to increase the value of the column itself.
Using command
ALTER TABLE csuser.systemlocalestring
MODIFY value varchar2 (4000)

Inserted value too large for column error while scheduling a job

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to schedule a PL SQL script as a job in my Oracle 10g installed and running on Windows XP.
While trying to Submit the job I get the error as "Inserted value too large for column:" followed by my entire code. The code is correct - complies and runs in Oracle ApEx's SQL Workshop.
The size of my code is 4136 character, 4348 bytes and 107 lines long. It is a code that sends an e-mail and has a +utl_smtp.write_data([Lots of HTML])+
There is no insert statement in the code whatsoever, the code only queries the database for data...
Any idea as to why I might be getting this error??
Thanks in advance
Sid

Data Profiling - Value too large for column error

I am running a data profile which completes with errors. The error being reported is an ORA 12899 Value too large for column actual (41 maximum 40).
I have checked the actual data in the table and the maximum is only 40 characters.
Any ideas on how to solve this. Even though it completes no actual profile is done on the data due to the error.

Error :Value Too large for DEF_VALUE of SNP_REV_COL

I am getting the following error while I am importing my work repository .
Error : Value Too large for DEF_VALUE of SNP_REV_COL
Can any one pls let me know the root cause of the issue.
I found the following work around to resolve the issue.
I am changing the 'DEF_VALUE' column length in both 'SNP_REV_COL' and 'SNP_COL' tables.
I am using the ODI 10.1.3.5 version.
alter table SNP_REV_COL modify DEF_VALUE VARCHAR2 (400);
alter table SNP_COL modify DEF_VALUE VARCHAR2(400);
I am able to import the work_rep with out any issues after changing the above columns.
I am looking for the reason why this issues is occurring.
Thanks,

'Value too large for column' error in msql

In my 9ilite database I have a table with a LONG column
In the documentation it says that a LONG column can hold upto 2 GB data
However when I try an insert more than 4097 characters into the column I get the error message on insert 'Value too large for column'
Is this a bug or is the documentation wrong
or am I doing something wrong ?
Any help would be much appreciated

You have run into some bug in handling intermediate results in Oracle 9i Lite. You can by pass the bug as follows in Java.
public static oracle.lite.poljdbc.BLOB createBlob(Connection conn,
byte[] data)
throws SQLException, IOException
oracle.lite.poljdbc.BLOB blob = new oracle.lite.poljdbc.BLOB(
(oracle.lite.poljdbc.OracleConnection)conn);
OutputStream writer = blob.getBinaryOutputStream();
writer.write(data);
writer.flush();
writer.close();
return blob;
public static void insertRow(Connection conn, int num,
oracle.lite.poljdbc.BLOB blob)
throws SQLException
PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement(
"insert into TEST_BLOB values (?, ?)");
ps.setInt(1, num);
ps.setBlob(2, blob);
ps.execute();

Replicat error: ORA-12899: value too large for column ...

Hi,
In our system Source and Target are on the same physical server and in the same Oracle instance. Just different schemes.
Tables on the target were created as 'create table ... as select * from ... source_table', so they have a similar structure. Table names are also similar.
I started replicat, it worked fine for several hours, but when I inserted Chinese symbols into the source table I got an error:
WARNING OGG-00869 Oracle GoldenGate Delivery for Oracle, OGGEX1.prm: OCI Error ORA-12899: value too large for column "MY_TARGET_SCHEMA"."TABLE1"."*FIRSTNAME*" (actual: 93, maximum: 40) (status = 12899), SQL <INSERT INTO "MY_TARGET_SCHEMA"."TABLE1" ("USERID","USERNAME","FIRSTNAME","LASTNAME",....>.
FIRSTNAME is Varchar2(40 char) field.
I suppose the problem probably is our database is running with NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS='CHAR'
I've double checked tables structure on the target - it's identical with the source.
I also tried to manually insert this record into the target table using 'insert into ... select * from ... ' statement - it works. The problem seems to be in the replicat.
How to fix this error?
Thanks in advance!

EXEC SQL Error: ORA-01401: Inserted value too large for column

Getting this SQL Error: ORA-01401: Inserted value too large for column..on an EXEC SQL Insert statement when writing to an
external Oracle DB from SAP.
On further analysis..it appears that this happens to the fields..when the string length matches the field length.
Example: Plant field is defined as char(4) on the SAP side and it is a Varchar2(4) on the Oracle side.
When a value like '1015' is passed thru a variable in the insert statement then this ORA-01401 error pops up.
No error:
   - if the value '1015' is passed directly in the insert statement to the external table (or)
   - when a value with 3 chars or less(like the first three chars..101) is passed thru a variable defined as 'Plant(4) type c'.
   - when using EXEC sql within SAP
   - when reading from the external db table
This was working ok until the Oracle Patch P9147110 was installed recently.
Any suggestions !

Hello Dvas,
what's the characterset of your external database?
What's the column definition in your external database (byte or character based)?
If you use a characeterset like UTF8 it is possible, that one character needs more than one byte and then you will run into such kind of issues if the definition is too small.
Regards
Stefan
