If you have to ask what this error means, then perhaps you aren't ready to be a professional programmer. This is an extremely clear error message, far clearer than about 95% of the error messages I've encountered. –HLGEM Dec 3

Ora-12899 Value Too Large For Column Impdp
ORA-12899: Value Too Large for Column Expert Oracle ora-12899 value too large for column in sql loader Database Tips by Burleson Consulting February 17, 2015 Question: I received the following error message: ERROR ORA-12899: value too large for column I am working with http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4347888/sql-error-ora-12899-value-too-large-for-column the following settings: NLS_LANGUAGE = HEBREW NLS_TERRITORY = ISRAEL NLS_CHARACTERSET-AL32UTF8 NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET -AL16UTF16 How do I resolve this error ORA-12899: value too large for column? Answer: To diagnose any error, you start by using the oerr utility to display the ORA-12899 error: ORA-12899: value too large for column string (actual: string, maximum: string) Cause: An attempt http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_ora_12899_value_too_large_for_column.htm 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). Second, you should be aware that the full ORA-12899 message is needed in order for you to get helpful feedback. According to Oracle, the ORA-12899 error is reported in the following format: ORA-12899: value too large for column string (actual: string, maximum: string) Therefore, your actual resulting ORA-12899 error message should look something like this: ORA-12899: value too large for column AUTHOR_LASTNAME (actual: 22, maximum:
characters during the conversion pass from one byte to two: Column 12 LA APLICACION EN ESPA?A DEL CONVENIO DE LA HAYA DE...

"TABLE". "ROW" (actual: 51, maximum: 50) To resolved this problem we'll need changing columns to CHAR length semantics, following this steps: Export the original database Import only the table definitions into the new database, without inserting the rows (ROWS=N import) Converts columns to CHAR length semantics Import the rows 12899 value 1 Export2 Table definitions3 CHAR conversion4 Import Data Export Export the scheme to the directory MY_BCK, ensure that MY_BCK exists: SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY MY_BCK AS '/u01/app/oracle/bck/'; Run the export with SYSTEM user, and datapump utility: SQL> expdp system/password schemas=SCOTT directory=MY_BCK dumpfile=SCOTT.dmp logfile=expdpSCOTT.log Or with conventional export system: SQL> exp system/password owner=SCOTT file=/u01/app/oracle/bck/SCOTT.dmp log=/u01/app/oracle/bck/expdpSCOTT.log Table definitions Import only the definitions of the tables, no the 12899 value too rows SQL> impdp system/password schemas=SCOTT directory=MY_BCK dumpfile=SCOTT.dmp logfile=impdpSCOTT.log content=metadata_only SQL> imp system/password fromuser=SCOTT touser=SCOTT file=/u01/app/oracle/bck/SCOTT.dmp log=/u01/app/oracle/bck/expdpSCOTT.log ignore=Y ROWS=N CHAR conversion To facilitate this process, Oracle created this script. You only need to edit the name of your scheme: Conn / as sysdba set feedback off set verify off set serveroutput on set termout on exec dbms_output.put_line('Starting build select of columns to be altered'); drop table semantics$ / create table semantics$(s_owner varchar2(40), s_table_name varchar2(40), s_column_name varchar2(40), s_data_type varchar2(40), s_char_length number) / insert into semantics$ select C.owner, C.table_name, C.column_name, C.data_type, C.char_length from all_tab_columns C, all_tables T where C.owner = T.owner and T.owner in ('SCOTT') -- All Oracle provided users and C.table_name = T.table_name and C.char_used = 'B' -- only need to look for tables who are not yet CHAR semantics. and T.partitioned != 'YES' -- exclude partitioned tables and C.table_name not in (select table_name from all_external_tables) and C.data_type in ('VARCHAR2', 'CHAR') -- You can exclude or include tables or shema's as you wish, by adjusting -- "and T.owner not in" as per your requirements / commit / declare cursor c1 is select * from semantics$; v_statement varchar2(255); v_nc number(10); v_nt number(10); begin execute immediate 'select count(*) fr
