Error -214746725​9. Data too long for column 'X' at row 1.

I am new to SQL and I get this error when I try to add another row into the SQL database whose width is different that the corresponding element on the previous row.
For eg
If I enter the string "test" as the an element in the first row, there is no error. However, if I enter "test1" , it throws the following error. I set the data type as string and size to 0( max length for SQL).
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Stringcol sounds like a number, no? Without seeing your table definition it's hard to say, but most likely the error is correct, you're trying to enter e.g. a 5 byte string into an integer field (which is 4 bytes), or similar.

  • 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.

    The data in the column is a fixed length string of 8 characters.
    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));varchar2(8 byte) or varchar2(8 char)?
    Use SQL Reference for datatype specification, length function, etc.

  • 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!

    What is a the size of the text you are trying to insert?
    Have you tried the increasing the size of 'Name' column to 658?
    Most likely the size of Name column is 20. This isn't enough to fit in the value you are trying to insert.
    You can increase the size of the Name column with alter table Hr.doctors modify ( Name column_type (658));
    Let me know if this helps.

    Hi,
    Could you please provide me some idea so that I can truncate the source data grater than max length before inserting into target table.
    Prtoblem details:-
    For my scenario read data from source .txt file and insert the data into target table.suppose source file data length exceeds max col length of the target table.Then How will I truncate the data so that data migration will be successful and also can avoid the ODI error " ORA-12899: value too large for column".

    In which step you are getting this error ? If its loading step then try increasing the length for that column from datastore and use substr in the mapping expression.Hi Bhabani,
    You are right.It is for Loading SrcSet0 Load data.I have increased the column length for target table data store
    and then apply the substring function but it results the same.
    If you wanted to say to increase the length for source file data store then please tell me which length ?Physical length or

    Yes RP, it working if you give col2 size >=400.

    >
    Notes and restrictions on virtual columns include:
    Indexes defined against virtual columns are equivalent to function-based indexes.
    Virtual columns can be referenced in the WHERE clause of updates and deletes, but they cannot be manipulated by DML.
    Tables containing virtual columns can still be eligible for result caching.
    Functions in expressions must be deterministic at the time of table creation, but can subsequently be recompiled and made non-deterministic without invalidating the virtual column. In such cases the following steps must be taken after the function is recompiled:
    Constraint on the virtual column must be disabled and re-enabled.
    Indexes on the virtual column must be rebuilt.
    Materialized views that access the virtual column must be fully refreshed.
    The result cache must be flushed if cached queries have accessed the virtual column.
    Table statistics must be regathered.
    Virtual columns are not supported for index-organized, external, object, cluster, or temporary tables.
    The expression used in the virtual column definition has the following restrictions:
    It cannot refer to another virtual column by name.
    It can only refer to columns defined in the same table.
    If it refers to a deterministic user-defined function, it cannot be used as a partitioning key column.
    The output of the expression must be a scalar value. It cannot return an Oracle supplied datatype, a user-defined type, or LOB or LONG RAW.

  • Oracle : ORA-12899: value too large for column

    Hi Experts,
    I am loading multibyte data from fixed width flat file to Oracle database(which is a utf8 characterset) via Informatica. I have set utf8 as characterset in both source and target definitions.
    Source flat file data : Münchener(this flat file data was loaded from external oracle database where data looks like Münchener)
    When I load the data I am getting below error
    ORA-12899: value too large for column "schema_name"."table"."column" (actual: 513, maximum: 512)
    I know we can declare the data type as varchar2(512 char) instead of varchar2(512 byte). Please let me know the other solution to load multibyte data into target utf8 database.

    You answered your own question and there isn't another solution. You need to increase that column.
    alter table "schema_name"."table" ("column" varchar2(513)); ---Though you should increase it to be the max length that column will ever be. If you don't know pad it. Pad it high. Oracle is very good at handling the space with the varchar2 datatype.

  • Oracle 11g 64 bit - "Value too large for column" when setting Varchar2

    Hello guys,
    I have a machine running Oracle 11g - 64bits. And I have a table that contains a VARCHAR2(2000) field.
    When I try to set the value of this field to a string that contains double byte characters, I get this error:

    Although the value I'm setting is only 811 characters (€ sign).
    The weird thing is that when I try to run the same query on another PC with Oracle 11g, 32 bits, It runs normally and the values are updated!!
    Anyone has any idea about this? It's driving me crazy

    COMMIT;
    On the 32 bit, this works fine. I get the record with the values 1 and 2000 euro signs.
    On the 64 bits, there is one machine (oracle 11.2.0.1.0) that adds the row, but when I view it, the value shows as "????"
    and another machine (oracle 11.1.0.7.0) that throws an error:
    - "String Literal is too long" : if there are more than 1333 euro characters
    - Value too large for column .... : if there are less than 1333 and more than 666 characters.
    Any ideas?

  • Value too large for columns

    Hi ,
    I have defined a field called "field1" in tableA of varchar2(6)
    but i got the following error : ORA-12899: value too large for column "PP"."TABLEA"."FIELD1" (actual: 8, maximum: 6) while trying to insert from a view
    i have tried to run the view looking for length of field1 that is greater than 6 but it returns no record
    what might be wrong here ? i am using Oracle 10G
    pls advise
    tks & rgds

    ORA-12899: value too large for column "PP"."TABLEA"."FIELD1" (actual: 8, maximum: 6)If your column has a length of 6 chars, you cannot put there more than 6 chars. Isn't it clear enough ?
    Since you tried to insert a value on 8 charracters, you raised an error.
    Since your column is on 6 char length, Oracle cannot return you any row where this column has a length greater than 6.

    this could be due to bug,check MOS or Raise SR to oracle.I have checked the MOS but did not get any reference to the below error

  • 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 on reverse on XML: value too large for column

    Hi All,
    I am trying to reverse engineer while creating the data model on XML technology.
    My JDBC URL on data server reads this:
    jdbc:snps:xml?d=../demo/abc/CustomerPartyEBO.xsd&s=MYEBO
    I get an error while doing the reverse.
    java.sql.SQLException: ORA-12899: value too large for column "PINW"."SNP_REV_KEY_COL"."KEY_NAME" (actual: 102, maximum: 100)
    After doing some check through selective reverse, found that this is happening only for few tables, whose names are quite longer.
    Tried setting the "maximum column name length" and "maximum table name length" to 120 and even higher values on XML technology from Topology Manager. No luck there.
    Thanks in advance for any help here.

    That is not the place to change.
    The error states that the SNP_REV_KEY_COL.KEY_NAME in the Work Repository schema PINW has maximum length defined to be 100.
    I donot know if Oracle will support this change but you will have to make a change to the Work Repository table SNP_REV_KEY_COL and change the column lengths as a workaround.

  • '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();
