ORA-12899: value too large for column string (actual:
string, maximum: string)



ORA-12899: value too large for column string (actual: string, maximum: string)..

Answer / guest

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).
