Weird ORA-01406: fetched column value was truncated error for SELECT query

DB version:10gR2
When one of our application fires the below query, we get
ORA-01406: fetched column value was truncatederror.
select     trk_dtl,
     trk_type,
     trk_id,
     trk_desc,
from     shp_dtl
where     shp_type = 'HN'
and     shp_type = 828;The documentation says
Cause:In a host language program, a FETCH operation was forced to truncate a character string. The program buffer area for this column was not large enough to contain the entire string. The cursor return code from the fetch was +3.But when the application is pointed to an identical schema in the same instance, we don't get this error. So, this has got nothing to do client application as the documentation says.
Any idea what other possibilities are there?

  • Help Needed: Facing the error ORA-01406: fetched column value was truncated

    Hi Everyone,
    When I run a particular PL/SQL query using Oracle 9i ODBC driver, it is working fine and fetching me the desired results.
    However, when I run the same query using the Oracle 10g ODBC driver, I am getting the error: ORA-01406: fetched column value was truncated.
    I have checked all the fields of the table and they are well within the allowable limit.
    Can you please let us know what needs to be done to resolve this issue?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sudhindra

    Well it's obviously a problem with the client software. Doesn't Datastage have some way of configuring these things?

    What this error means?

    Hi,
    A buffer area in your program is too small. Try to increase it.

  • 9i to thin 10g causes fetched column value was truncated

    In short I got my issue resolved by using Microsofts Oracle ODBC driver instead of Oracles. I was issued a new pc that had 10.1.0.30 and that was when I discuvered the problem. I have a pass-through query in Access that started giving the Oracle error above. I tried to upgrade the driver to 10.2.02 but that still did not work. I tried changing the buffer size to the max of 99999999 that was no use either. I would like to use the Oracle driver so if anyone could lend a hand that would be great. I spent way to long on this.

  • ORA-01405: fetched column value is NULL

    Hi All,
    I am using OWB 10gR2 and DB 10gR2. I am getting the following error while executing the mapping,
    ORA-01405: fetched column value is NULL.
    I have used NVL function for the measure columns, but the problem is not solved.
    Can anybody please tell me solution,
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Siva
    It may be that you've taken care of null value in just one place and now, the error is coming
    from somewhere further down the line.

  • Report suddenly showing ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-06502:

    Hi,
    Some reports in my applications are suddenly showing:
    ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
    instead iof the data they used to show.
    In my development system I can fix this by:
    1. changing the column alias in my sql
    select 'a' alias1 from dual becomes
    select 'a' alias2 from dual
    2. SAVE CHANGES
    3. change column alias back to original
    select 'a' alias2 from dual becomes
    select 'a' alias1 from dual
    4. reorder columns back to original in the 'report attributes' tab
    alias1 is now at the bottom of my colum list - i just bounce it up to column 4 using the up arrows
    5. SAVE CHANGES
    then everything starts working OK again.
    There seems to be nothing wrong with my sql as I can make it works on a new page or after I run the above steps, so I guess something is breaking somewhere but I cannot work out what.
    Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone know the cause? Does anyone have a fix for this that does not involve the above steps (plus redeployment to prodcution and all the work that involves)?
    I am seeing this on version 2.3 and 3.0.
    Thanks,

    Hi all,

    May we know your first name?
    Can you put the application in your workspace on apex.oracle.com so we can take a look?

    friends i have seen where the error is coming but i am unable to trace out how to increase the size of lov which i have made.
    when i am taking display as select list(named lov) it is throwing me the error "ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small" but if i am taking display as "popup lov(named lov)" under tablular form element under one of the column in the report, it is working properly. but not shwoing the report the way we want it to show. For that reason i want to increase the size of the love which i have made.

  • Classic Report - report error:ORA-20001: Error fetching column value

    Hi,
    In Apex 4 I have created an SQL report which errors with ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-01403: no data found.
    It works fine if I hard code the start and end dates but fails when I use page items as parameters.
    I call a stored function as below:
    DECLARE
    l_sql VARCHAR2(4000);
    BEGIN
    SELECT ICDB_PCT_MRSA_POS_REP(v('P40_NEWSTARTDATE'),
    v('P40_NEWENDDATE'))
    INTO l_sql
    FROM dual;
    RETURN(l_sql);
    END;
    although I have used the :P40_NEWSTARTDATE form too, with the same result.
    Any suggestions will be welcome.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    have you debugged if ICDB_PCT_MRSA_POS_REP is raising the no-data-found error or if it's the actual SQL statement which got returned?
    Comment out the call to ICDB_PCT_MRSA_POS_REP and return a hard coded SQL statement with
    return 'select [... here comes a sample sql statement returned by ICDB_PCT_MRSA_POS_REP]';to rule out that ICDB_PCT_MRSA_POS_REP is raising the error.
    BTW what is the purpose of the select from dual? Just call the ICDB_PCT_MRSA_POS_REP directly like
    return ICDB_PCT_MRSA_POS_REP(:P40_NEWSTARTDATE, :P40_NEWENDDATE);Regards

  • Report error: ORA-20001: Error fetching column value

    Hi,
    I try to build a tabular form with 1 column as "Select List (Query based on LOV)". This select list should display round about 1.100 rows in the LOV ordered by name. So I got the error: report error:
    ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numerischer oder Wertefehler: character string buffer too small
    When I try tho define this column as Popup LOV (Query based LOV) only the the ID of the attribute and not the display value appeares in the row. The LOV it self displays the display number and not the the ID. I want to see the display value in the column of the particular row and the LOV and return the ID to the record by insert or update as it is normal in LOVs of form regions.
    This lot of rows in the LOV is necessary because it is a part to develop formulas like (number_of_acquisitions - number_of_old_parts)/100 or so. The most formulas will be more complex. In the database there should only be the ID as reference to the attributes.
    Please help me to display the attribute bases on LOV in every particular row.
    Thank you
    Siegwin

    In Apex 4 there is now a column type "Popup Key LOV (named LOV)" which is exactly what you are looking for.

  • What is odiref. function to fetch column value from data store

    Hi
    Please Provide ODI Ref Function  to fetch the column value from source/target data store
    for ex: i want to fetch deptno from dept table by using odiref function.
    Thanks
    Cnu

    Hi Cnu,
    There are no odiRef functions to get data from source/target tables. Rather you can generate such query using odiRef functions and then use such query in the source command text. The retrieved data columns can then be used int eh target side command. You can find more details t Introduction to the Substitution API - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1)

  • Using Column Value in CSS Style for Column in Report

    I am trying to apply a CSS style (background color) to a column in a report based on another column.
    So for the Column attributes for a specific column, I would like to be able to add this to the 'CSS Style' Field under the group, "Column Formatting":
    background-color:#BKG_COLOR#;
    It doesn't seem to be taking my column value, which is #daf2ea
    In the CSS Style Field, if I change it to: background-color:#daf2ea - then it works.
    So it doesn't seem to take my column value of #BKG_COLOR" in the CSS Style field.
    Any ideas? Do I need to use the 'HTML Expression' field instead, and how would I do that?
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi,
    that's correct, custom report templates will do.
    I find them sometimes quite limited, though. And I always ask myself "how would I do it without APEX", because there's often a lean jQuery solution that affords less coding.
    If you employ a so called "marker class" that depends on your colour value, you could begin like in the previous answer and enter the follwing into HTML Expression:
    <span class="#BKG_CLASS#">#THE_COLUMN_I_WANT_TO_SHOW#</span>
    That means you would not query a plain color, but some name that can act as a CSS marker, like
    select THE_COLUMN_I_WANT_TO_SHOW
          , case when THE_COLUMN_I_WANT_TO_SHOW > 100 then 'hotColor' else 'coldColor' end as BKG_CLASS
      from my_tableIn the page's Function and Global Variable Declaration, you'd enter
    function colorMyReport () {
      apex.jQuery('.hotColor').closest('td').css('background-color','#FAA');
    }And under Execute when Page Loads, you enter:
    colorMyReport();There's only one challenge, of course, when the report is paged via AJAX, because the script would only run once (on the first page shown).
    But if this is a solution for you, I'd be pleased to show you how to overcome this. Just let me know.
    Hope there is no typo in my typing, because I have to catch my train now :-)

  • Firefox connection was reset error for a long request

    I have a web service api which takes 5 minutes to respond a JSON response message.
    In firefox (version 32.0.3), I get a "The connection was reset" error after 2 to 3 minutes.
    When I call my call my API in Chrome, there is no error and I get the intended response after 5 minutes.
    I have tried the following without any luck:
    1. tweaking timeout values in about:config
    2. clearing browser caches
    3. setting "No proxy" in network settings
    4. disabling ad-ons and starting in safe mode.

    I tried it with Firefox 29 and even 22, still after 3 minutes it just gives a connect reset.
    Also, to provide more context, I am making a REST API call whih takes 5 minutes to respond. When I deploy the application on localhost, it (firefox) does not give a connect reset error and completes. But, when I deploy it on a remote server, it gives this error.
