ROW-00060: Internal error: [dainsert,16]

Question

I posted the below question yesterday to the following Microsoft forum and was directed to this Oracle forum. The responder to my post believes it has something to do with the Oracle driver I am using.

I am encountering the following error trace when I attempt to insert 617K records into Oracle via a (SQL Server) linked server connection. At this time I know that I can insert up to 88K records. Is there a setting in SQL Server 2005 that I need to set to allow the insert to complete? I've googled for this error to no avail. I believe it is a buffer issue. I could program a solution (developement s/w VFP) and insert blocks of records, but I would perfer finding a solution through the SQL server before coding a workaround. Any help or advice is appreciated.
Regards,
Joe

Answer 1

I think we are doing progress Sandeep,
When it fails (at the source) it is not hitting the downward pipe due to datatype mismatch.
It must be a certain record. 
If you get only that cryptic error then unfortunately you need to do more digging.
#1: Remove all except one column and run the package adding columns one by one until it bombs. This way you will find the offending column.
#2, next concentrate on figuring out what record number the issue is in, and finally
#3 arrive to the poor field (exact location in the record). There must be a value incompatible with the metadata (datatype) assigned.
You would need to decide whether you want to clean the data, modify the datatype, or exclude this row.
