ORA-01438: value larger than specified precision allowed for this column tips Oracle Error Tips by Burleson Consulting (S. Karam) The Oracle number precision in oracle docs note this on the ora-01438 error: ORA-01438: value larger than specified precision allowed for this column Cause: When inserting or updating records, a numeric value was entered that exceeded the precision defined for the column. Action: Enter a value that complies with the numeric column"s precision, or use oracle ora-01438 which column the MODIFY option with the ALTER TABLE command to expand the precision. Because ORA-01438 often consists of an erred entry in your SQL, it is often the case that syntax needs to be evaluated. For example, in the Oracle Technology Network's forums, a user consistently received ORA-01437 when he is running his procedure. His replier pointed out that the values entered may exceed the column definition, or he was entering the CHAR value in the NUMBER field. From that information, ORA-01438 was successfully resolved.

This has been really frustrating...there must be a temp table created somewhere with a different precision, right? Any help with this would be appreciated.Example Data:Rate Currency Result1.4454325324 AUD PASS1.3943435826 CAD PASS8.9824929424 CNY PASS4326.4323456123 COP FAIL 653Views Tags: oracle 01438 error none (add) 12cContent tagged with 12c, errorContent tagged with error, fileContent tagged with file, lkmContent tagged with lkm, numberContent tagged with number, odiContent tagged with odi, precisionContent tagged with precision, scaleContent tagged with scale, xmlContent tagged with xml This content has been marked as final.

Re: ODI 12c | ORA-01438 Error: Value Larger Than Specified Precision Allowed For This Column SH_INT Jan 1, 2016 9:03 AM (in response to Zebediah) You seem confused with the terminology you are using here. Precision is the total number of digits allowed in your number so in your definition i.e. NUMBER(18,15) the precision is 18 meaning you can have upto 18 digits in your number. However, you have also defined a Scale value of 15 which denotes the amount of digits that sit to the right of the decimal point. This means you have only allowed for 3 digits to sit to the left of the decimal point i.e. Precision - Scale (18-15). This is why you get the error when you and try and load the COP currency as your data type definition doesn't support having more than 3 digits to the left of the decimal point.

Cause Attribute values of the coverage in one or more NUMBER fields are too large for the new fields created in the Oracle table. Cov2sde first creates an Oracle table to receive the data. This new table's NUMBER fields are defined from the output/display column and decimals fields specified for the coverage's INFO table. To illustrate, assume we have a single parcel coverage with an AREA field whose output/display width is 3, and its decimal column is set to 1 decimal place. When this AREA field is added to the new Oracle table it will be defined as NUMBER(3,1). The 3 indicates the maximum number of digits Oracle will store in this number field. The 1 means that one of those three digits is reserved for a position to the right of the decimal point. Thus, if the area value in the coverage is 12.3, it would be a legitimate number, but an area value of 123.4 would not be¹.¹Koch, G., and K. Loney, "Creating, Dropping, and Altering Tables and Views," Oracle: The Complete Reference, Electronic Edition (1997):383. Solution or Workaround Changing the output/display column width in the INFO table to a width larger than the attribute value before loading the coverage into the Oracle table eliminates the error, and should allow the data to load. In the previous example, changing the column width fr
