too big for column

With the help of 11g...

I am trying to insert data into a column in a table that contains postal codes with a varchar2 setting (5).

When I try to run an insert, it keeps telling me:

ORA-12899: value too large for column 'FY13_NRN_ADMIN '. "" POSTAL CODE "(real: 39, maximum: 9)

So I ran a few tests...

Select

Max (length (zipcode)) zip_size

of fy13_individual_data;

ZIP_SIZE

5

Select distinct lengthb (zipcode) "length in bytes.

of Fy13_individual_data;

Length in bytes

1

5

4

So I tried to run the insert using a command of the substring.

INSERT INTO FY13_NRN_ADMIN (ADMIN_CN,

But it STILL says the same error of size max.

I don't understand why would it be otherwise when even... the substr command must ignore the characters of tail.  Isn't it?

Thoughts on the alternatives?  All the lines seem to be the right size for me.

Hello

It seems that the postal code is the 16th column in the list INSERT, but scan_header is the 16th column in the SELECT clause.  ('SUBSTR (POSTAL code, 1, 5)' is the 17th column in the SELECT clause).

Perhaps you forgot REGION_CODE in the list INSERT, or didn't want to include it in the SELECT clause.  It is, he is very suspicious to say:

INSERT INTO FY13_NRN_ADMIN (ADMIN_CN, - column 1

PURPOSE_SITE_WORKING, - column 2

PURPOSE_SITE_RECREATE, - column 3

...

SELECT ADMIN_CN, - column 1

REGION_CODE, - column 2

SUBSTR (PURPOSE_SITE_WORKING, 1, 1),-column 3

...

as you do.

  • downloaded file too big for the flash player movie

    I downloaded a HD movie on my computer, but I want to put it on a Sandisk 32 GB flash drive. When I tried to drag it to the flash drive, it says that the file could not be copied because it was too big for the size of the volume. The site I downloaded the movie says something about the use of IGetter. I Igetter in my applications, but it does not open because it says it's a developer not identified. (This may be before Yosemite download.) Anyway, my question is, is it possible to download and save a movie on a flash drive?

    I use outlook express 6 and I can receive an email of great but when I try to send it after making the necessary changes, i.e. the signature I get the message "too big for the server" responses I've seen so far tell me absolutely nothing

    Well, the error message says it all.  "" too big for server".

    There is a limit imposed by your ISP/mail server, which you don't mention.

    Not only the servers have limits on the size, this is not necessarily the same for incoming and outgoing messages.

    If you say you use the e-mail program and the name of your e-mail server, maybe we can shed light on the more specific issue, but the problem is definitely with them and not Outlook Express.

    P.S. I'm not sure what you mean by 'signature'

  • Size of the file too big for the destination

    I made a video 9.50 GB as indicated by the display of 'properties' of Windows 7.  When I tried to download it to a flash drive 16 GB, and also a 128 GB flash drive, I got an error message that the file was too big for the destination.

  • Mp3 download too big for disc

    MP3 download is audio, 1 week, says too big for the disk.  How / can get this on a disc.

    Using Windows Media Player

    Want to burn an Audio CD

    MP3 file size is 112 MB

    =======================================
    No thanks for the info... no apparent problems there but you
    did not include the duration... as mentioned HairyFool...
    I suspect that the MP3 is the question.

    Check the time on your CD limit compared to
    the duration of your MP3 file.

    A thought more...

    If your CD player is compatible with MP3
    files... you could burn CDs of data that would be much
    space for your 112MB file and several others until the
    the CD file size limit.

    Thanks for posting your request here in the Microsoft Community.

    This could have caused because all settings or update related issues. I would like to know some information about this problem so that we can help you further.

    1. do you get any error code or error message while starting?

    2. have you checked if the same problem occurs on a different user account?

    3. this problem occurs only when opening the images?

    I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it works for you.

    Method 1:

    Try to install the latest drivers and updates to the Web site of the manufacturer of the computer or from Windows Update and check if it helps. This is to check if the problem is caused due to any update related question or not.

    See the following Microsoft Help article to download and install the drivers.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.

    >
    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.

    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).

  • 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:

    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
