Take a look at the database column sizes and compare them to the same fields in the Object Server. The database columns need to be as large or larger than the fields being passed from the Object Server. If they are not, the error will be received. If you increase the column sizes in the database to a value larg

Why won't it https://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::p11_question_id:7143933880166 handle my error? Latest Followup You Asked Hi Tom, Thank you so much for what you are doing. Here's an Oracle message that is familiar to many of us developers. "ORA-01401: Inserted value too http://albertolarripa.com/2012/06/10/ora-12899-changing-columns-to-char/ large for column" It doesn't tell you which column is too large, it leaves it to us to figure out which column is causing problem. While inconvenient it is not too bad if 12899 value you are trying to insert into a table with few columns in it. However, last time I recevied this error message, a procedure was trying to insert values into table with 220 columns! :-) That's when I realized it's time to ask you. Is there an easier way to find out which columns is causing the problem? At work somoene told me that if this same thing 12899 value too happened in MS ACCESS, it would tell you the column that's causing the problem. Now I know Oracle is the grandfather of the databases, and so there should be nothing that MS Access (out of all the databases on god's great earth) can but Oracle can't do. So I am hoping there is some way you can show us how we can identify the value that's too large, or the column name in which we are trying to insert. Thank you so much! and we said... wouldn't it be cool if we were just like access. wow, I cannot wait for our entire feature set to catch up! (seriously, this is an enhancement I too would like to see). Here is an idea for you: scott@ORA920> create or replace procedure gen_crud( p_tname in varchar2 ) 2 authid current_user 3 as 4 l_stmt long; 5 l_plist long; 6 l_assign long; 7 l_ins1 long; 8 l_ins2 long; 9 l_upd long; 10 begin 11 for x in 12 ( select column_name, 13 decode(column_id,1,'',','||chr(10)||chr(9) ) sep, 14 column_id, 15 decode( data_type, 16 'DATE', 'to_date(p_' || column_name || 17 ', ''dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss'' )', 18 'p_' || column_name ) fixed_cname 19 from user_tab_columns 20 where ta

"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 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 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.
