Import Spreadsheet Long value error

Hi folks,
I'm trying to Import Text or Spreadsheet Data into a table in Htmldb.
It should create a new-table with some column names and it's data. I converted a Excel list and saved it to .txt.
When I try to import it into htmldb (al columns Varchar2) I get the following error message.
ORA-20001: Load csv data error: ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
Does Anyone know what I can do about this problem?
regards,
Richard

Richard,
I ran into a similar problem. I found that APEX is not to fond of 'cr + lf' characters in my spreadsheet.
Option 1:
Used the clean function (in excel) to remove all of the special characters. Also, check the length of the fields in excel and make sure your VARCHAR2 length is larger than the max entry length.
Option 2:
Change from VARCHAR2 to CLOB.

Long Value Error

I am getting the following error while runing an interface.
ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
But there is no column with the datatype Long.
What could be the error?

Do you know what field and/or which record is causing the problem? If not, that's where I'd start in debugging this. ODI is attempting to insert a value which Oracle DB believes is a long data type - you'll need to understand what's causing this in order to fix it.

Import Spreadsheet returns error

Hi,
I'm trying to import excel spreadsheet. For one file it works and for another it doesn't.
On examination I found that the one that doesn't work has got filters applied on some of it's columns. Is this the reason that it doesn't work.
Can anybody please let me know if that is the reason then is there any workaround.
Many Thanks,
Praj

Hi Praj,
I could not reproduce your issue. I did a test as the followings:
Create a excel , and insert a tabel
Type some value for this tabel
Filter the value on two columns
Save the excel
Create a Import Spreadsheet list using the above excel file
After creating the list, all values of the tabel in the excel displayed in the list.
What data did you use for the Import Spreadsheet list?
Which error did you meet when you imported the problematic excel file?
Please try create another excel containing same data with the problematic excel, then import it, compare the result.
If this issue still exists, please check the log file to find more information about this issue.

SharePoint Error when importing web: Requested value 'PublishingPages' was not found

I tried to import a publishing web using the following powershell command:
Import-SPWeb http://****/test -Path E:\data.cmp -UpdateVersions Overwrite
However, it returns an error:

Hi Thang,
Without knowing much of what you are trying to do here like whether or not you are trying to promote/ demote a publishing site; I wanted to let you know about this limitation:
"For site collections that make use of the publishing feature it is not supported to migrate
root sites into sub sites or sub sites into root sites."
See the below blog post for details. Hope this helps!

Importing a spreadsheet with value NULL

I have exported a query from a database into Excel and some of the values are NULL.
I am attempting to import this spreadsheet into SQL Server using SSIS 2012 (Data Tools). I have created a package that includes a source and a destination. In the source I select all of the fields. One of the rows contains a list of dates
and some NULL values. When I create a table I set this field's datatype to datetime, but when I attempt to carry out the import I receive an error message because the NULL value is in fact a text and not a blank value.
As a (not so) quick fix I have deleted all of the NULL values so that they are blank. This will import the data into the datetime field in my newly created table. Is there any way I can amend the package so that it will set NULL values into the
spreadsheet to a null in the database table.

Use the Derived Column Transformation in which set the incoming NULL to DBNULL
e.g isnull(column)?dbnull(dt_date):column

Error : ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error while fetch LONG datatype

Hello All,
I have written a script to fetch the text for a view in PLSQL and it gives me the following error :
Error : ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
declare
l_text all_views.text%type;
begin
SELECT text INTO l_text FROM all_views WHERE view_name = 'XXVIEW';
exception
when others then
dbms_output.put_line('Error : '||sqlerrm);
end;
The above works for some views and not view other views. Can anyone let me know what could be the reason for ORA-06502 when fetching into a long variable in PLSQL.
Would appreciate any response.
Thanks,

If view 'XXVIEW' contains "no record" for field "text" then it'll show this error.
I mean "SELECT text FROM all_views WHERE view_name = 'XXVIEW';" returns "No record found" then how can you assign "no record" to a variable "l_text ".
try to execute : SELECT text FROM all_views WHERE view_name = 'XXVIEW';
What does it give you? any "Blank records"?

Hi,
Feew suggestions
1) LONG is a deprecated type hence if possible start working on changing that column
2) CLOB will your preferred datatype over LONG.
3) you cannot use RTRIM on long.
here is a very quick example
drop table h
create table h (x long,y varchar2(100))
select rtrim(x) from h
select rtrim(y) from hSolution:
[http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/code/tips2003/052503.html]
need a better solution change the datatype to clob and
drop table h
create table h (x clob,y varchar2(100))
select dbms_lob.substr( x, 4000, 1 ) from h
select rtrim(y) from hCheers!!!

Agent Upload error: ERROR-400|ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value ...

Response received: ERROR-400|ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
This is the agent that is on the host that runs Grid Control. GC Seems to be running fine, but the agent has this problem quite regularly. This also seems to happen on other linux 10.2.0.4 agents as well.
To remedy it, I go in and remove the upload data in $AGENT_HOME/sysman/emd/upload and then restart the agent. I don't like doing this.
Any ideas?

Hi
The error display is very strong. The mean is that the agent try upload a file to the OMS and when the OMS Server go to insert the data in a SYSMAN Table , the value is of a LONG COLUMN and the table not have this type of column.
Please provide me:
- When the error appear , take the xml file and send me
- Run this comand in the agent:
emctl config agent listtargets
If i have the xml file, i can try to solve the problem

Why this Error comes "ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into

I'm using Oracle 9.2 with Weblogic 8 server. After Googling i got to resolve this issue "ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column" by adding : oracle.jdbc.RetainV9LongBindBehavior=true in server properties for the datasource.
But why did this error come and after keeping the above property why did this error go away ?
Can anyone help me on this.....

You have an error in the code:
1. you don't provide a value for 'what' - you have to tell Oracle what it should execute when it submits the job.
And remember - with ISUBMIT the next_date parameter has datatype VARCHAR2 - SUBMIT uses datatype DATE. So make sure you provide a VARCHAR2 value and do not rely on implicit conversion.

APex 4.1 Error ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG

Hi There,
Facing a strange issue.
I have a regular cursor, and in that cursor loop I have a select statement into some variables based on cursor parameters.
I was getting the "ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column" error so I started individually checking each of the columns. Now it works fine for some column, but the moment I add this number field. It starts throwing this error. Now, the database source where the select is fired is of type number, the variable into which I select it is number .
Infact, I dont have any LONG column defined anywhere.
The strange thing is that the block executes perfectly fine in SQl developer. So looks like a Apex specific issue.
I am on 4.1/11g
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Sun

Is there any limitation to the size of code? When you say size of a code. Are you saying the whole PL/SQL block is stored in one Varchar2(4000) field? :) Did not know that.

Common sense should come into play. As Tony points out, the proper way to develop and deploy complex PL/SQL is using modular subprograms stored in packages. Same for APEX as for anything else.

Sql load error: ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LON

I have 3 columns of varchar2(4000) in my table. I used char(4000) in my ctl. Please see below..
LOAD DATA
TRUNCATE INTO TABLE sa.sudhir_MARRIOTT_RBP_FORMAT
fields terminated by ' '
TRAILING NULLCOLS
TARGETING_SECTION,
TAG_TYPE,
NO_OFFER_SUPPRESS,
MAX_OFFER,
HTML_REGEX,
HTML_HEADER char(4000),
HTML_FOOTER char(4000),
RICH_TEXT_REGEX,
RICH_TEXT_HEADER,
RICH_TEXT_FOOTER,
TEXT_REGEX,
TEXT_HEADER,
TEXT_FOOTER
If I specify char(3000) for HTML_HEADER and char(1000) for HTML_FOOTER it works! (because at this moment html_header is less than 3000 and html_footer data is less than 1000). But I want to load 4000 characters max into both columns too. When I add , it fails with following error,
ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
Please help !!

Anybody have any ideas?
