• 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 ".

  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.

• Data truncation error ORA-12899 ODI File_To_RT: value too large for colum

  Hello
  Give me an idea so I can truncate the grater data source to length max before you insert into the target table.
  
  Prtoblem details: -.
  
  For my script read the data of the insert and the source .txt file the data in the length of the target table.suppose source file data exceeds the length of col max of the target table. So how I truncates the data so that the data migration will be successful and also can avoid the mistake of ODI "" ORA-12899: value too large for column '. "
  
  Thank you
  Sébastien

  I was referring to the source database. Because C$ table is created based pon the source data store. Increase the physical and logical length on a same value.
  If you see the code generated for C$ table create table step you can see the size of the column. This table is not able to store the incoming string value.

  Substr function will be used when the data will be loaded either I$ table or table target.

• 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));
  

• 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.

• SQL Loader control file (.ctl) given in table

  Hello
  
  I have a table 'region' in my schema called dss.
  

  SQL > desc region
  R_REGIONKEY
  R_NAME
  R_COMMENT

  I want to LOAD the data into this table of the region in a file called "region.tbl" located at d:\tpch\region.tbl, using a CONTROL file that is also on the the same place is to say d:\tpch\region.ctl.
  
  Region.tbl file contains few records. Recording of a SAMPLE of region.tbl is as follows:
  
  * 1 | AMERICA | HS ironic use, same request. s | *
  
  Region.CTL file contains the following lines to load data using sql loader:
  
  DOWNLOAD THE DATA
  INFILE'd:\tpch\region.tbl'
  IN THE REGION OF THE TABLE
  FIELDS TERMINATED BY ' |'
  * (R_REGIONKEY, R_NAME, R_COMMENT) *.
  
  so I go to the command prompt, navigate to the location of the above files and run the command:
  

  D:\TPCH > sqlldr control = region.ctl dss/dss = userid

  and get the following error:
  
  SQL * Loader-128: unable to start session
  ORA-01017: name of user and password invalid. connection refused
  
  I have the same table under the "system" user creation, but I get a different error with this that is:

  You can connect with dss/dss? For example, what

  sqlplus dss/dss
  

  If no, and you are sure that the name of username/password combination is correct, have you checked things like $ORACLE_SID - i.e. it points to the right database?

• 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.

  It's my control file:
  

  LOAD DATA 
  INFILE 'D:\load\dat\FinNote.dat' 
  BADFILE 'D:\load\bad\FinNote.bad' 
  DISCARDFILE 'D:\load\dat\discard\FinNote.dsc' 
  INSERT INTO TABLE FinNote FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' TRAILING 
  NULLCOLS
  ( IDNo, RegDate date 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', Col1, Remark, UserID, Status)
  {code}
  
  My text file has semicolon as a row delimiter and | as column delimiter. Now, how can I add the semicolon as row delimiter. Please guide me.
  
  I followed the method given in this site: 
  http://www.exforsys.com/tutorials/oracle-10g/oracle-10g-sql-loader-input-data-and-datafiles.html
  
  
  *INFILE datafile_name ["str terminator_string"]*
  
  {code}
  LOAD DATA 
  INFILE 'D:\load\dat\CRS_FinNote.dat' ";"
  BADFILE 'D:\load\bad\CRS_FinNote.bad' 
  DISCARDFILE 'D:\load\dat\discard\CRS_FinNote.dsc' 
  INSERT INTO TABLE CRS_FinNote FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' TRAILING 
  
  NULLCOLS
  ( StudentNo, IDate date 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', Topic, Remark, UserID, Status)

  and received the error:
  
  SQL * Loader-500: could not open the file (D:\load\dat\CRS_FinNote.dat)
  SQL * Loader-555: unrecognized property treatment option
  SQL * Loader-509: System error: the operation completed successfully.
  SQL * Loader-2026: the charge was dropped because SQL Loader cannot continue.
  SQL * Loader-513: cannot close the file (D:\load\dat\CRS_FinNote.dat)
  SQL * Loader-559: Error closing file
  SQL * Loader-509: System error: the storage control block address is invalid.
  
  Thanks in advance.

  And, if your CRS_FinNote.dat look like below (line/record delimited; then)

  1245|2000-05-16|Oracle|The Best|AAA|Online;
  294|2000-04-03|Dotnet|Best|BBB|Pending;

  Scott@ORCL > select utl_raw.cast_to_raw (';') under "hexadecimal;" double;

  in hexadecimal
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Then I change user645399.ctl with below:

  LOAD DATA
  INFILE 'd:\csv\CRS_FinNote.dat' "str X'3B'"
  BADFILE 'd:\csv\FinNote.bad'
  DISCARDFILE 'd:\csv\FinNote.dsc'
  INSERT INTO TABLE FinNote FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' TRAILING
  NULLCOLS
  ( IDNo, RegDate date 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS', Col1, Remark, UserID, Status)

  Hello

  I found many similar problems but no answering mine.

  I installed the Oracle 11g Express version.  I can connect to my database order online when I try Developer SQL I get the following error code:
