ORA-12899: value too large for column

Charles MMar 19 2019 — edited Mar 25 2019

Hi All,

I received an error while running a script. Basically, this is an application-generated script (by Oracle ODI) to partition a table in a data warehouse:

SQL> @Create_Partitioned_Table.sql

Table renamed.

Table created.

,JOURNAL_LINE_DESCR

*

ERROR at line 334:

ORA-12899: value too large for column

"W_GL_OTHER_F"."JOURNAL_LINE_DESCR" (actual: 241, maximum: 240)

I am now trying to find out the data which is causing the error. I tried this SQL, but it didn't return anything:

select JOURNAL_LINE_DESCR from I$_66747501

where length(JOURNAL_LINE_DESCR) > 240;

Any ideas what is going on?

Note: I have run this script before, for a different table, and it worked fine (albeit, syntax is was particular to that table ... but all else should be the same).

DB version 12.1.0.2

Regards,

Charles
