• Addition of virtual column: ORA-12899: value too large for column

  I am using Oracle 11g, OS Win7, SQL Developer
  
  I'm trying to add the virtual column to my test table, but get ORA-12899: value too large for column error. Here 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, I get the correct results:
  

  SELECT col1, (REGEXP_REPLACE (col1, '^ABCD[A-Z]*_'))
  FROM test_reg_exp;

  Thank you.

  Yes, RP, it works if you give col2 size > = 400.

  @Northwest - could you please test the same w/o having a clause of regex in col2?
  I have a doubt about using a REGULAR expression in this case Dynamics col.

  Refer to this (might help) - http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/virtual-columns-11gr1.php
  Below excerpt from above link... see if that helps...
  >
  Notes and restrictions on the virtual columns include:

  The indexes defined on the virtual columns are equivalent to a function-based index.
  Virtual columns can be referenced in the updates and deletions WHERE clause, but they cannot be manipulated by DML.
  The tables containing virtual columns may still be eligible for result caching.
  Functions in expressions must be deterministic when the table is created, but can then be recompiled and non-deterministic without for as much invalidate 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.
  On the virtual column indexes must be rebuilt.
  Materialized views that access the virtual column must be fully refreshed.
  The result cache must be flushed if the virtual column acceded to the request (s).
  Statistical table must be regathered.
  The virtual columns are not supported for the organized and external object in index, 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 refer to the 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 result of the expression must be a scalar value. It cannot return that an Oracle supplied the data type, a type defined by the user, LOB or LONG RAW.

• ORA-02374: error loading conversion table / ORA-12899: value too large for column

  Hi all.

  Yesterday I got a dump of a database that I don't have access and Production is not under my administration. This release was delivered to me because it was necessary to update a database of development with some new records of the Production tables.

  The Production database has NLS_CHARACTERSET = WE8ISO8859P1 and development database a NLS_CHARACTERSET = AL32UTF8 and it must be in that CHARACTER set because of the Application requirements.

  During the import of this discharge, two tables you have a problem with ORA-02374 and ORA-12899. The results were that six records failed because of this conversion problem. I list the errors below in this thread.

  Read the note ID 1922020.1 (import and insert with ORA-12899 questions: value too large for column) I could see that Oracle gives an alternative and a workaround that is to create a file .sql with content metadata and then modifying the columns that you have the problem with the TANK, instead of BYTE value. So, as a result of the document, I done the workaround and generated a discharge .sql file. Read the contents of the file after completing the import that I saw that the columns were already in the CHAR value.

  Does anyone have an alternative workaround for these cases? Because I can't change the CHARACTER set of the database the database of development and Production, and is not a good idea to keep these missing documents.

  Errors received import the dump: (the two columns listed below are VARCHAR2 (4000))

  ORA-02374: error loading «PPM» conversion table "" KNTA_SAVED_SEARCH_FILTERS ".

  Thank you very much

  Even with the semantics of TANK, the bytes for a column VARCHAR2 max length is 4000 (pre 12 c)

  OLA Yehia makes reference to the support doc that explains your options - but essentially, in this case with a VARCHAR2 (4000), you need either to lose data or change your data type of VARCHAR2 (4000) to CLOB.

  Suggest you read the note.

• ORA-12899: value too large for column

  Hi Experts,
  
  I get data of erp in the form of feed systems, in particular a column length in animal feed is only 3.
  
  In the column of the target table was also length is VARCHAR2 (3)
  
  but when I try to load even in db it showing errors such as:
  
  ORA-12899: value too large for column
  emp_name (population: 4, maximum: 3)
  
  I use the version of database:
  Oracle Database 11g Express Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
  
  but it is solved when the time to increase the length of the column target for varchar2 (5) of VARCHAR2 (3)... but I checked the length of this column in the feed is only 3...
  
  
  My question is why we need to increase the length of target column?
  
  
  Thank you

  Oracle Database 11 g Express Edition uses the UTF-8 character set.

• ORA-12899: value too large for column (size: 30, maximum: 25)

  I try to insert values from one table to another using substr (column_x, 1, 25) (field target is of type varchar (25)) and I get an error: ORA-12899: value too large for column (size: 30, maximum: 25) how is this possible?

  SUBSTRB uses the same syntax:

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/server.112/e41084/functions181.htm#i87066

  If chopping byte characters does not mean that you could end up with a partial character at the end for example if each character 2 bytes, then the last character would not that it is the first byte, so wouldn't an entire character.

  Depends on what you actually try to reach by taking the partial strings.

  Keep in mind, with the UTF8, you could have up to 4 bytes of length characters each.

• ORA-12899: value too large for column 'FLOWS_FILES '. ' WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$

  Try to download a .docx, get the following:
  
  ORA-12899: value too large for column 'FLOWS_FILES '. «WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$ '.» "" Mime_type "(real: 71, maximum: 48)
  
  Course description WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$, MIME_TYPE is declared as varchar2 (48).
  
  The problem is that the Content-Type for a .docx file is "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document.
  
  What is the best way to solve this problem?

  Easy solution?

  Change the Table of $ WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECT and widen the column.

  Or change your dads.conf file (if you are using mod_plsql) and specify a different table to PlsqlDocumentTablename.

• Value too large for column

  Hello
  
  I have a column with the varchar2 data type (500) next to oltp, I extract the data from this column and loading in another column of tables which has the same varchar2 data type (500)
  
  My problem: I get error with a value too large for column when I am trying to load data in certain folders. (I guess there is a problem of character format, if that's the case how to check characters for the data format)
  
  Help, please

  Do not forget that the 500 in varchar2 (500) specifies the size of the storage. This means that you have 500 bytes of storage.

  Which may depend on your default however nls_length_semantics: your statement is true semantics bytes but neither tank:

  SQL> select name, value  from sys.v_$parameter  where lower (name) like '%length%'

• Error ORA-12899, even you the length of the data is correct.

  Dear all,
  
  I'm getting ORA-12899 problem: value too large for column 'TEST '. "'"' STUDENT'."" NAME"(size: 94, maximum: 79).
  Valer'evne you the length of the column 'Name' is less than 79.
  
  Infact I am getting the value of 'Name' of the other database, processing in Java and you try to insert the value in Oracle database with the help of hibernation, the length of the 'name' is located only 60 I checked in Java, before inserting this value.
  
  Even after having inserted the length is only 60 too, I see Oracle. So why Oracle throws this error at the time of the insertion of the value of the "name"?
  
  Any body have an idea on the question, please help.
  
  Thanking you all.

  AL32UTF8 is a multibyte character set: each character can take up to 4 bytes. So, you have to modify the table definition for this with something like (assuming that the maximum number of bytes would be 320):

  alter table student modify (name varchar2(320));

• ODI Datastore length differs with the length DB - IKM throws value too large

  ODI datastore when reverse engineering a different length than the datalength in actual db.
  
  The Datastore ODI column details: tank (44)
  Column db target: varchar2 (11 char)
  
  The I$ table inserts char44 in varchar2 (11char) in the target. As the value of the source column is empty ODI throws
  "ORA-12899: value too large for column (size: 44, maximum: 11)."

  You must always include the ODI version you are using.

  I assume that you are using the standard method or not an RKM of reverse engineering.
  Because of a bug in JDBC driver (ojdbc14.jar is), using reverse engineering standard will multiply the lengths of all varchar2 by 4.
  Upgrade the jdbc driver or use oracle RKM to reverse engineer the data store.

  PS. Please indicate as good/useful answers when you're done.

• 'Value too large' error discoverer

  Hi all

  I was stuck with a problem with the Oracle Discoverer Plus 10 g (10.1.2.55.26) since the last 2 days, tried all possible options mentioned on the Forums and elsewhere, but somehow, nothing seems to help. So I fire experts for help. Here is a description:

  We have a report on the discoverer who gives us the "ORA-12899 value too large for column', whenever we try to plan sound via the Scheduler. The report runs well if we run manually. To address the problem, I did the following:

  1 identify areas of activity associated with this report and map the column in question to its base table.

  2 could see that the column is a column varchar2, and so I changed length from 50 to 200.

  3. once the column has changed, I deleted all complex records of his business and he added again by copying in the simple folder (which maps directly to the column in the table).

  4 then I refreshed all the BA to make the new length of the column would be picked up all over the place, and the update went successfully.

  5. I deleted all regular existing workbooks with errors and tried to program again.

  Even in this case, the workbook raises always the same ' ORA-12899 value too large for column (real: 57, maximum: 50)'. Don't know what step is missing when updating of the EULS that causes this error.

  Please advise!

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I just wanted to report that we were able to locate and fix the problem last night. There is another complex issue that also had the same element, and we missed the first time to change that. The fact that change, the deletion and the rescheduling of the report, it started working perfectly

  Thank you.

I followed this paper: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28294/rman.htm#CIHIAADC and it worked as expected. The old control file has had 6 data files that were in a different place than the others. The new control file, I created the primary had all the files of data in one place. After correcting the control to point to the locations correct datafile all started working again.
