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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    Thankyou,
    Being the OIM noob that I am, had no idea where to look.
    We do indeed have some user defined fields of 4000 characters.
    I am now wondering if I can disable auditing, or maybe increase the size of the auditing database column?
    Also, I guess I should raise a defect in OIM as the User Interface should not allow the creation of a user field for which auditing is unable to cope.
    I also wonder if the audit failures (other than causing lots of stack traces) causes any transaction failures due to transaction rollbacks?

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • Data Profiling - Value too large for column error

  • Inserted value too large for column

    Hi,
    I have a table (desc below), with only one trigger wich fill the operatcreat, operatmodif, datecreat and datemodif column at insert and update for each row. When I try to insert, I got the following messages :
    INSERT INTO tarifclient_element(tarifclient_code,article_code,prix) VALUES('12','087108',3.94);
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
    ORA-01401: inserted value too large for column
    SQL> desc tarifclient_element
    Name Null? Type
    TARIFCLIENT_CODE NOT NULL CHAR(10)
    ARTICLE_CODE NOT NULL CHAR(20)
    PRIX NUMBER
    OPERATCREAT NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
    OPERATMODIF VARCHAR2(30)
    DATECREAT NOT NULL DATE
    DATEMODIF DATE
    NB : tarifclient_code is an ENABLED fk, article_code is a DISABLED fk. All values exists in both referenced tables.
    Any idea ?

    My trigger is not the problem, I tried to delete it and fill the columns manually and got the same error.

    The SQL you have shown us looks OK
    (to me, au moins). However, perhaps the
    error is in the trigger which fills in
    the two operativ fields. It would execute
    at the same time as your insert, near
    enough.

  • Java.sql.BatchUpdateException: ORA-12899[ value too large for column.......

    Hi All,
    I am using SOA 11g(11.1.1.3). I am trying to insert data in to a table coming from a file. I have encountered the fallowing error.
    Exception occured when binding was invoked.

    Edited by: 806364 on Dec 18, 2010 12:01 PM

    It didn't work.
    After I changed length of that column of the source datastore (from 15 to 16), ODI created temporary tables (C$ with I$) with larger columns (16 instead of 15) but I got the same error message.
    I'm wondering why I have to extend length of source datastore in the source model if there are no values in the source table with a length greather than 15....
    Any other idea? Thanks !

  • Adding virtual column: ORA-12899: value too large for column

    I'm using Oracle 11g, Win7 OS, SQL Developer
    I'm trying to add virtual column to my test table, but getting ORA-12899: value too large for column error. Below are the details.
    Can someone help me in this?
    CREATE TABLE test_reg_exp
    (col1 VARCHAR2(100));
    INSERT INTO test_reg_exp (col1) VALUES ('ABCD_EFGH');
    INSERT INTO test_reg_exp (col1) VALUES ('ABCDE_ABC');
    INSERT INTO test_reg_exp (col1) VALUES ('WXYZ_ABCD');
    INSERT INTO test_reg_exp (col1) VALUES ('ABCDE_PQRS');
    INSERT INTO test_reg_exp (col1) VALUES ('ABCD_WXYZ');
    ALTER TABLE test_reg_exp
    ADD (col2 VARCHAR2(100) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (REGEXP_REPLACE (col1, '^ABCD[A-Z]*_')));
    SQL Error: ORA-12899: value too large for column "COL2" (actual: 100, maximum: 400)
    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).When I try to select, I'm getting correct results:
    SELECT col1, (REGEXP_REPLACE (col1, '^ABCD[A-Z]*_'))
    FROM test_reg_exp;Thanks.

    Yes RP, it working if you give col2 size >=400.
    @Northwest - Could you please test the same w/o having a regex clause in col2?
    I doubt on the usage of a REGEX in this dynamic col case.
    Refer this (might help) -- http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/virtual-columns-11gr1.php
    Below snippet from above link.... see if this helps...
    >
    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.

  • Rs.updateBoolean SQLException: ORA-12899: value too large for column

    Complete error is SQLException: ORA-12899: value too large for column "SMSUSER"."PRUEBA"."VLOGIC" (actual: 4, maximum: 1)
    Let's see the code:
    PreparedStatement ps=null;
    ResultSet rs=null;
    try
    ps=conn.prepareStatement("create table prueba(name varchar2(32),vlogic char(1) not null check(vlogic in (0,1)))");
    ps.execute();
    logger.info("Table created.");
    ps=conn.prepareStatement("insert into prueba (name,vlogic) values ('user01',?)");
    ps.setBoolean(1,true);
    ps.executeUpdate();
    logger.info("Data Inserted.");
    ps=conn.prepareStatement("update prueba set vlogic=? where name=?");
    ps.setBoolean(1,false);
    ps.setString(2,"user01");
    ps.executeUpdate();
    logger.info("Data Updated.");
    ; Till here all runs ok, but if we try to modify vía Resulset.....
    ps=conn.prepareStatement("select vlogic from prueba where name=? for update", ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE, ResultSet.CLOSE_CURSORS_AT_COMMIT);
    ps.setString(1,"user01");
    rs=ps.executeQuery();
    if (rs.next())
    logger.info("Got record.");
    rs.updateBoolean("vlogic",true);
    rs.updateRow();
    logger.info("Column updated.");
    catch (SQLException E)
    logger.info("SQLException: "+E.getMessage());
    finally
    closeResultSet(rs);
    closePreparedStatement(ps);
    The trouble is that when updating via resultset, what is going to be inserted is "true" or "false" and not "0" or "1" as with insertions and modifications via preparedStatements.
    So systems returns error: SQLException: ORA-12899: value too large for column "SMSUSER"."PRUEBA"."VLOGIC" (actual: 4, maximum: 1)
    Cause it is tryng to insert "true".
    Can somebody tell me what's happenign here?
    Thanks in advance.
    Francisco Javier Ascanio Suárez.

    Ok, but why is this behaviour different in ResultSet statements than in Prepared Statements?
    As you can see in my example, prepared statements with set boolean runs ok.
    I like your "proper way", and it resolves my trouble, but it don't tells me why do I have to program a field update in different ways depending of Prepared Statements or updating resultsets.
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes it's probably due to different char sets
    A way around it it to change the DB setup on the new database to use CHAR as default for varchar2 rows, and then use datapump to do your import/export, because datapump uses the default varchar2 type when creating tables that includes varchar2 (which is normally byte). Exp/imp uses the varchar2 type that is in the original database

  • 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.
